The 12 Shades of Surrender is a series of short stories by various authors published by Mills and Boon - "Want more than Fifty Shades? Mills & Boon have the answer with 12 Shades of Surrender! All 12 stories promise unforgettable romances with a sinful edge – surrender to pure reading pleasure."
Callie is a young woman who has discovered her love of voyeurism as a new, male, sexy neighbour has moved in next door. She has secretly been watching him and enjoying every minute of it as she allows her imagination, and her fingers, free reign.
One evening, as she lounges outside attempting to cool down in the stifling summer heat, she sees him again. As before she allows her imagination to take control and begins to enjoy herself. She realises, to her surprise, that the man is now watching her, and he motions her to continue, which she happily does.
As she recovers, her eyes closed, she is surprised to find him appear where she least expects it. A few days later she again meets him, and discovers a darker side to him. Is this something she can enjoy, or will this mean the end to a very brief encounter? And why does she start to think she may know him?
For such a short story the author has packed a lot into its pages. The 2 brief encounters we read about are written very well with just the right amount of sexual content. The ending left me wanting so much more! I would love to have this continued in a full length novel by the author.
This short story will appeal to those who have fantasised about being watched, finding a sexy neighbour to lust after, or exploring a slightly darker side to sex, away from the usual 'vanilla' style.
