Forbidden Surrender by Priscilla West
5.0
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via. NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or review in any way.
My God! I don't usually review erotica romance novels, but something caught my eye about this one. West has created the perfect man, well, I don't know about you, but definitely my perfect man ;)
Vincent, the billionaire bad boy trying to court Kristen, is sweet, sensual, and romantic. Furthermore, he's understanding and isn't afraid to play the waiting game if it means getting the girl he wants. When it comes to sex though, it's like every girls dream. I really like his protectiveness towards Kristen, but also how devoted and persistent he seems to be to win her over. Not a lot of guys would carry on trying after the first rebuff, never mind a second or third!
Kristen is a very relatable main character. She's been single for two years and has had bad relationships in the past - work is her life now - work, work, work. It's almost a pleasure seeing her friends trying to push her out the door for a date. I always find it quite reassuring when you have friends like that in books, it's kind of like, "it's ok, she's got back up".
I really like the storyline of this book... it's believable but bordering fantasy - perfect. Imagine your wildest fantasies when you create your ideal man and the perfect situation - this is it. Aside from that, we do see ups and downs in Kristen's life which makes her life more realistic. When something good happens, something equally bad (or worse) happens to balance it.
The only problem I had with this book is I'd make it longer. This isn't really an issue though as it's a series, so I can just move onto the next book. I'd like it to be on a longer timescale and know both characters more deeply now that we've seen the type of people they are.
I'd recommend this to any woman who fantasizes about rich, totally gorgeous (but at the same time, totally sweet!) men.
