A Love Surrendered grabbed me right from the start, drawing me to Annie's plight. I loved how she was a brand new character, which was a kind of break in pattern from the other books in the series.
I just loved this book, the pages turned rapidly and the the time flew by, yet at the same time I was dreading reaching the end, not only of the book, but the final chapter in the O'Connor family saga! I don't know what I'll do now that all the O'Connor's are married!
I loved how in this book I got to see much more of Steven, whom I have always kind of never got to know in the other books, and finally get to see what makes him tick. And Annie, was a sweetheart from the start. So for me it was great watching Annie and Steven, and getting to know them better :) I also loved catching up with the other O'Connors from the previous books.
In all this was a wonderful conclusion, that was everything that I'd hoped it would be and more! A Love Surrendered is fraught with drama and sparkles of humor and wit, that took me through a host of emotions. Personally, I think that this book isn't one that you can just pick up without reading the previous books, mainly because who would want to miss a single moment with the O'Connors? I certainly wouldn't!
But A Love Surrendered has it all, romance, drama, history, smiles, wit, laughs, and characters that you can't help but cheer for. I can't wait to see what Ms. Lessman will come up with next!
