Snag Surrender (Devil's Den, #1) Edited By Violetta Rand Listed As Digital Copy

took a bit to get into this book, but when I finally did I really enjoyed it.


Robin is a fierce heroine who is doing her to get through college and make life succesful for herself.
Garret is a strong alpha male who finds Robin in need of help and decides he has to keep her safe.
From there the relationships grows and blossoms, I wish there was more resolve with Robin's parents and family in this book, And I love how Garret stood up for her to her Mother,

The book was hot, steamy, and sweet, I definitely recommend it to everyone that loves romances, and alpha males, After finishing this book I have to move on the figure out what happens with Craig whom I loved in this book regardless of anything he did.


I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review, I have a bit of an obsession with stripper romances so I knew Surrender would be right up my alley.
Sexy dances, hot security guys, and a heroine that can take care of herself Count me in!

Robyn hasn't had an easy life.
Her parents kicked her out when she wasand she's been on her own ever since.
She's been working as a stripper at the Devil's Den foryears to help put herself through college.
Thanks to her abandonment issues she has a hard time letting anyone in but as soon as

she meets Garrick she feels an immediate connection.


Garrick is a sweetheart with alpha tendencies, I wouldn't say he's all alpha but he's definitely got the whole protective, possessive thing down pact.
He knows Robyn's the one when he first lays eyes on her and does everything he can to keep her safe.


Of course, since Robyn's been on her own for so long she's not comfortable with Garrick taking over her life which causes some definite strain in their relationship.
Add in the fact that Garrick's sister doesn't approve of Robyn's profession and they definitely have some hurdles to overcome.


While I really liked Surrender, I had a hard time connecting with the characters, or maybe I had a hard time feeling the connection between them.
I'm not really sure, but it was definitely missing something, You could feel the chemistry between Garrick and Robyn, especially when she danced for him, but the sex scenes weren't as smoking as I'd expected them to be.


Overall, this was a great read that held my attention and left me wanting more.
Can't wait for Marisela and Craig's story in Seduction!

"Texas Boys do it right, " Stars.

Whilst I liked Surrender I didnt love it, Garrick and Robyn had an interesting dynamic and I liked the parts of the book when they were together and dealing with their issues in order to build a relationship.
Garrick is dominant, possessive and has a definite way with words and actions, Robyn although working in an environment that belies one thing, is actually pretty much the opposite of all the expectations you would have for a woman in her situation, those aspects together made me keep reading.
What I found detracted from that were all the side plots and random characters that were thrown at the story.


”Im glad youve found me, ”

There were a couple of tropes that carried enough weight to them, that should have been explored more, rather than having lots of little things added, for me it just made the story all sorts of scrappy, jumping from this, to that, then to something else, but never really offering the level of depth I was looking for.




The writing style is easy to immerse yourself in and I did like the story, plenty if not too much of drama, interesting sexytimes and dual POV, I just think it could have done with a little more focus, and less of a cut amp dried ending.


Surrender is the first book in the Devils Den series, its successor Seduction is due, midMarch.
This is my first book by this author, and although I am uncertain as to whether I will read any more books from this series, I would be interested to read something with a different setting, tropes and characters by Violetta Rand in the future.

Holy Crackling with Sexual Tension! SURRENDER certainly keeps you on your toes with wanting these two to just get it on already.
. . not that you have to wait TOO long, but within the first few pages you will be like "It's gettin hot in here.
. . so take off all your clothes, . . "

The story line is definitely different than I expected, there was some definite drama that I didn't see coming, which just added to the fun.
Garrick is not your typical "White Knight", he is a whole lotta Alpha man, . . and quite delicious might I add, and Robyn is definitely as tough as I was expecting, but I liked her vulnerable side, she allowed Garrick to see her, and I truly enjoyed those intimate times when I could feel the full on connection between these two.


Violetta Rand certainly didn't hold back with the sexiness in her debut New Adult romance, the first in the Devil's Den series.
If the next two in the series are like this, I know it will make for a happy Lisa!

New Adult readers will definitely enjoy this debut, not too dark, not to angsty, and just the right amount of naked Garrick.
. . oh yeah!
Thank you Netgalley in exchange for honest review,
Robin is a strong, determined, and a survivor, After years of mental and emotional abuse from her mother, she is thrown out of her childhood home at age.
In order to survive she uses her body to dance at the Devils Den strip club in Texas.
She doesn't turn tricks. She is smarter than that and wants more she strips to survive and to put herself through college.

Garrett is an alpha male who literally has a run in with Robin, She's in danger and when they touch he can't deny the spark, He falls hard for this "little bird" and fight the demons his sister puts in his head about Robins current career choice.
Robin doesn't want to succumb to his tender and demanding ways, nor does she want to admit to herself what it feels like to begin to rely on someone else.

This book has romance, hotness, adventure, hot alpha, and a stubborn heroine, In Surrender, Violetta Rand takes you on a wonderful journey of passion, pleasure, and the true meaning of love.
You know its a great book when at three in the morning youre still turning the pages, saying one more chapter.
I will confess right up front, Garrick is my new book boyfriend, The man is hot, hot, hot!!! Wow this is a really great gripping read, I literally had to sit up until the early hours to finish it, From the start I was on the edge of my seat reading this book,

Robyn Gonzalezs mum threw her out when she was fifteen, Alone she struggles but manages to work as a stripper at night to get herself through college.
I really like Robyn as she's a strong independent woman, Fate brings Garrick into her life, Then a few days later she finds out he's the new head of security at her work.
Garrick is a hot and sexy alpha male, Even his name is hot, While Robyn is afraid to let anyone get close to her Garrick is determined to get to know her and break those walls down.


This has a great storyline, If your looking for an emotionally charged story with suspense and lots of hot steamy scenes then I highly recommend this story.
One sexy read! Robyn grew up fast, disowned by her family when she was just a kid, she did what she had to do to survive.
Robyn is nowand a stripper at the Devils Den, After having a bad night she heads for her favorite spot and finds trouble, She is rescued by Garrick a sexy, smart guy that Robyn cant seem to forget, Then he shows up at the Devils Den, A really liked this book a lot the characters are wonderful and the story kept me entertained throughout.
I would give itbut I did have one issue, it seemed kind of all over the place as to why Robyn was kicked out of the house, her Uncle touched her, her moms drinking or her sinful behavior.
Was it all and her telling about her Uncle the last straw I am looking forward to reading more.
I received a copy of the book from NetGalley for an honest review, Robyn didn't have the best childhood, She was kicked out by her mother and had to make her own way at a young age.
Having to grow up far too fast, Robyn has become a strong, independent woman, But underneath the strength is a vulnerable girl scared to love, She strips in order to put herself through school and to provide for herself,



One night Robyn is at the wrong place at the wrong time and runs into trouble with a local drug dealer.
Garrick comes to her rescue and becomes her hero in more ways than one, Once Garrick see's his "little bird," he's hooked and he won't let her get away,

"You're the closest thing to heaven I've ever seen"

This was an amazing story.
I loved Garrick and he was a really complex character in a way, He's a MIT grad giving up a good job to work at a strip club as head of security crazy, right His character was perfect for Robyn and I loved their relationship.
He's very protective of her but I loved how he wasn't the usual asshole jealous type when it comes to his girl being a stripper.


Overall, I loved this book and can't wait to read more from this series.
The reason for astar rating was because I felt some things could have been brought up a little more.
Robyn's school was only really mentioned in passing and it wasn't discussed a lot, It was said that she was stripping mainly to put herself through school so I just feel that the actual schooling could have been more prominent in the story.


Oh, one more thing, I wanted to bitch slap Garrick's sister, Gretchen,

When I turn back, Garrick's gaze is locked on my a, "I can't help myself, little bird," he says with a shrug, " He's also not a very patient man, "hotel room or your apartment, Pick. Now. " If she doesn't, I'll make the choice for her, " He also needs to tell his woman some facts from time to time, "I tip her chin and look her directly in the eyes.
"I don't play games. I don't share. I don't cheat. And I don't do anything halfa, " I fell in love with Garrick right off, and I loved this book,
