"I choose you and I choose us. I will always choose us."

First Impressions
Surrender is the epic finale of the "Careless Whispers" trilogy and in this book we finally get to see what happens in the epic conclusion in the story of Kayden and Ella. We have seen this couple go through their ups and downs while also trying to hunt down the priceless necklace and the secrets that come with locating it. Surrender starts off from where "Demand" left off and we learn some precious truths about Ella, she is a spy for the U.S. Government and now tensions are high because she wonders how on earth she can be with Kayden when she is the enemy. But Kayden is a man who will fight for his woman at ALL costs and never give up and that determination is what ends up winning in the end and was so brilliantly written by this delightful author.

Exposing my past might steal everything we think we are and want to be together."

First Line
Ella's Alive! It is the news I have hoped and prayed to receive for months on end.

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Kayden Wilkens
The Heroine: Ella Ferguson

Summary
Despite the reveal of who Ella truly is and the pieces of much of her past really clicking in place, and the reveal that she is the best friend of Sara and Chris and has connections to Marcus, the puzzle is starting to make sense. But Ella is still at a loss, because she wonders how she and Kayden could find a way to be together when a clue from her past is fully revealed especially in light of what her training had turned her into. But Kayden doesn't care about her past or what she had to do, he is willing to fight for her and protect her no matter what.

This man is my soul mate. My shelter in every storm I will ever face, and in all the ones I now relive."

What I Loved
This book was thrilling, edgy and full of surprises that not even I was expecting and I have read quite a few of this authors' books. What I truly admire about Lisa Renee Jones is her books aren't ever the same and she always seems to be able to surprise me when I don't expect it to happen. The plot is what truly made this book a punch in the chest for the reader. There are many aspects that really come together in this story. We see Ella's memory come back fully, we see how protective and tender Kayden is, we see the true strength that has always been within Ella. We see the friendship between her and Sara (and especially after seeing some of the glimpses of Marcus, Sara and Chris ---I know what series I am reading next haha because wow she really made it all come together and kept me yearning for so much more. The villain in the story is truly evil and cunning so it made what happens in the third act so thrilling and edgy and whew it was intense but I can always rely on this author to take me into those tight spots that I actually love to read.

" Win at all costs, or die forgotten."


What I Struggled With
Nothing really to be honest. I would have loved to see more of Chris and Sara though.

Narration
Like the previous two books, this narrator really brings this author's characters to life and it was astounding and I had a blast with it.

Overall View
Surrender is a story of thrilling adventures, secrets left and right being revealed, surprised side characters to fall in love with and our couple finding their happy ever after through much fight and resilience and trust. A ACTION PACKED THRILLING ROMANCE TO CURL YOUR TOES AND LEAVE YOU ON THE EDGE!
