One Summer of Surrender by Jess Michaels
4.0
4 stars
I would start off by saying this book was not a traditional historical romance. It leaned more towards historical erotica. Not too hot and heavy but definitely more steamy then the typical historical romances that I've read. Not that I'm complaining! I will admit that I did like this story. There was a lot of angst between Elise and Lucien. There's obviously a lot of history and feelings between them. The situation in which they find themselves is hard. I will admit that I was frustrated with the timing of the "big reveal." I felt it should've come forward sooner in the story but I can understand the author's timing. I just felt poor Elise was dragged around for so long, I just felt sorry for her. The ending was a bit open ended but I know that's part of the continuation of this series. Yes, I did enjoy this story. It's technically the third in a series but it can be read as a standalone. I find myself still interested in the stories that happened before and will probably read those, as well.
