Dare to Surrender {Giveaway & Review}

Are you in need of something hot and steamy to warm up these cold winter nights?  Then I have just the thing for you.  Let me introduce you to Dare to Surrender by Lilli Feisty. 

Joy Montgomery is an art curator and in order to save her job she needs to book a show for her gallery with a hot new artist.  Along comes Ash Hunter, who she literally bumps into when first meeting.  He is an erotic photographer, something that Joy thinks would be pefect for an art show.  Unfortunately when she approaches him about it he tells her he isn't taking photo's any longer and is leaving the art scene.

Joy is heartbroken to hear this news, she feels he is extremely talented and his work needs to be shown off.  When she discovers his scultptues, she is even more determined that he should not give up his art.  She is also nervous about losing her job if she cannot convince him to work with her.

Ash agrees to meet with her however, instead of discussing work matters, they become entangled in a sexual affair.  They contrast one another in many ways, Joy is a bit unorganized and chaotic while Ash is an ex-Seal who is super organized and put together.  For some reason, despite their many differences, they feel a magnetic pull towards one another. 

As the book goes on we begin to see bits and pieces of Ash's life reveal themselves and Joy begin to let go of her inhibitions and see herself in a new light.  We are introduced to Erica, Joy's best friend, and get a peak into her love life as well.

While there is a loveable plot in this book, you should know that there is plenty of sex as well.   (Some of these scenes made me blush and I don't blush easily )  My favorite part of the book was Joy.  I found Joy endearing because, well, I too am a bit of a mess!  I've been hung up on many inhibitions (still have quite a few) and because I have been so totally overtaken with my magnetic attraction to a man that I've forgotten about everything else around me.  So, (sex scenes aside) I saw a little of myself in Joy which helped me connect with her and the book.

my favorite way to curl up is to load on the microplush blankets and recline in my chair; been spending the evenings that way watching the olympics

I curl up and read a good book with lots of soft blankets around me. This would be a good book for that! Thanks for the chance.

Tuck my feet up under me in "my chair", turn on the lamp and lose myself.
