Inevitable Surrender by Destiny Blaine (90 pages)
Genre: Erotic Romance
Book given to me for review
A soldier may wave a white flag of surrender but a cowboy never concedes.
Luke McGregor knows how to protect himself. He’s a hard ass but he’s having a tough time dealing with the extra heartbeats he feels thumping against his chest whenever he spots one little blue-eyed darling. For the better part of twenty-six years, he’s avoided the one woman he wants to find in his bed but on Valentine’s Day, everything changes.
Marcy Killian knows there’s only one man for her. She pretends to come off as a worldly woman, a gal who recognizes what she wants in the opposite sex and more importantly, understands what to do with the man she wants. Unfortunately, the cowboy she longs for most is someone who terrifies her.
When Luke and Marcy bump into one another on Valentine’s Day, sparks fly. They immediately realize fate has a hand in bringing them together. Will they ignore the connection they’ve established over the years or will their inevitable surrender lead to more than one night of passion?
Inevitable Surrender starts out with Luke trying to hide from the tempting, blue-eyed, vixen Marcy. A soilder knows when to wave the white flag and admit defeat and with Cupid all around them, how can Luke continue to say no?
Since high school Marcy has known that sexy cowboy Luke McGregor was trouble with a capital T. She knew once he layed her down she probably never get up. Although they havent’ seen each other in more than two years she is getting damn tired of sending him signals. After asking him to drive her home on Valentine’s Day, things get a bit heated in his Chevy Silverado and they end up crashing. Talk about a buzz kill.
I never tire of the formula of the wholesome sexy rancher get’s weak-kneed for the aloof vixen, who has secrely liked him all along. Yes you can imagine I had lots and lots of high school crushes as a girl (Aaron M and his sexy black binder). I throughly enjoyed the the banter between Luke and Marcy and felt it added to the tension between the characters.
“I figured somebody snatched you up by now, Marcy”
“You Offering?”
His gaze drifted over her. Maybe, fucking hell, maybe. “No.”
The sexual build up between Luke and Marcy was well done in the begining. I also thought the dialouge was well written, no cheesiness or eyerolling in this story. It’s not everyday that a I get turned by a traditonal erotic-romance boo. But yeah, hot scenes here people!
This was a surpriing good read. I think I would have liked to have the story to arc a bit furher into Luke and Marcy’s relationship but perhaps the author has plans..mabye a Christmas story? Even though it’s past Valentine’s Day, Inevitable Surrender stands the test of time no matter the time of the season.
