A Night to Surrender is the first book in the Spindle Cove series. This was my first Tessa Dare book, even though the author and this series has been on my TBR for a while. After picking up one of the later books in the series at my library book sale I finally decided to start the series.

I enjoyed this book so much. I loved Spindle Cove and all the side characters that were introduced. Bram and Susanna were so lovable with Bram slightly frustrating at times. They’re both stubborn people and want things their way but they’re also vulnerable with hard outer shells. They both find a compromise in the end but at one point each gave an ultimatum that I didn’t think was very fair to either of them. 

There are four encounters, that seem to get steamier each time. They were sweet and full of passion. 

CW: references to medical trauma and irritating 19th century medical practices.
