The Surrender Series by Priscilla West

In a digital age where literally anyone can self-publish and become an author, it can sometimes be hard to find quality, because the market is so saturated with quantity.  So I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon author Pricsilla West's three book series, 'The Surrender Series' (I know, I know, where have I been?!  Living under a rock? -- The answer to that question, is yes, I have infact been living under a rock. ;)).

'The Surrender Series' focuses around Kristen Daley and Vincent Sorenson.  Kristen is a beautiful (of course), smart, sweet, recent college graduate, working her way up the ladder at a prestigous wealth management firm.  Vincent is a handsome (obviously.. of course), thrill-seeking, down-and-out surfer, turned billionaire mogul, whose Kristens firm is trying to land as a client.

Each book in the series is relatively short, but I feel as though it works best that way.  From the first page of 'Forbidden Surrender', all the way through 'Secret Surrender', and until the very last page of 'Beautiful Surrender', I was drawn in, interested, and obsessed with the story.

I loved each of the characters in the story, and I think the author did a great job with character development as well as plot, although I feel as though the whole 'billionaire bad boy' storyline is becoming a little played out at this point, but, Pricsilla West did do a good job in keeping me interested despite the familiar storyline.

One thing that I didn't like, is how agressive Vincent was in the beginning of the first book in the series.  I feel as though he came across as maybe a little too... I don't know, just creepy and overbearing.  It didn't seem to fit the character that I came to know in the rest of the series.  Being a smart and very wealthy man, he should have known better than to pursue someone that he is doing business with in such an agressive manner.  Mentioning that he wants to have sex with her and also mentioning that he will only work with her company under the condition that she be he point of contact at the firm could easily have come across as him suggesting he would only work with her firm if she slept with him, and that alone could have opened him up to a sexual harrassment lawsuit.

Would I read more from Priscilla West?  A very enthusiastic, Heck yes!

Would I recommend this author or series to others... again... Heck yes!  

If you haven't already, go out and read this series, you won't regret it.
