Though the novel is quiet sexually explicit, readers will find it a satisfying romance--one that they will gladly surrender to."

"I was totally blown away by TOTAL SURRENDER, a tale both erotic and poignant. Sensational characters, and a very compelling read that readers couldn't put down unless you're dead!... Don't miss this author. She's a sparkling diamond!" —www.rakehell.com
