Last Surrender

Loved this book just as much as the previous ones. My favorite part is that the characters flow through each book so it just seems like each of their stories continue on. The themes throughout the book are so relevant to everyday life and something you can really relate to. Can’t wait to see if there’s more to this series as Northstar is my favorite series to read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Both Heather and Jeremiah had things to think about on what turns out to be a day of anniversaries. It was Heather's birthday and she had ditched yet another suitor, whilst Jeremiah was reviewing past mistakes. In a moment of camaraderie, they agree to celebrate Heather's birthday and the flame that has been flickering between them, flares to life. I loved Jeremiah's beautiful soul, his compassion and understanding of Heather, as well as his firm but respectful approach towards her family. Despite Jeremiah's past, Heather has had an equally difficult growing up experience. She has never met the expectations of her family and they have discredited her at every turn. When Jeremiah's past is unleashed on them, everyone is put at risk and when the chips are down, their true characters come to the fore. I enjoyed this well-written and suspenseful romance, and although it is part of a series, it comes to a joyful close. I read this book as part of the “A Cowboy Kind of Night” box set, which I received as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Last Surrender is a Must Read Book. Suzie's elaborate descriptions place you right in the middle of the story. One can practically see, feel and smell everything that is in the book. I even want to try a "recipe" that she described in it. Every time I read one of her books, I really want to be in the place that she describes. It gives such a warm and back home feel to it. Not only does her descriptions make you feel you are there, you can practically feel what the people are feeling too. If you are not a big fan of foul language, this book does contain a little bit (not much though). Heather and Jeremiah are ordinary people who have had some family issues. He does seem a bit shyer than the other male characters in her books. Heather's family seems very opinionated and demanding. The beginning made me think Heather was sort of a "snob" treating Jeremiah like he didn't exist in the past, which in turn, made me feel real bad for him. But the further into the story, the more it shows why they are as they are and how each other helps the other overcome their past. As always, the ending is happy, even though there is a rough spot. To have rough spots adds more twists to stories, which I like. I also love the way this book describes the difference between blood and family, and you can have one, the other, or both. One does not need to read the other books to understand what is going on in this one, but it does help. And all of Suzie's Northstar books are wonderful. Not only is this one a must read, so are the others!!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
