This is a first time for me with this author and I could not read this book fast enough. It has great characters and story line. This book has it all with contemporary hot romance, adventure, alpha male paired with intelligent, beautiful female, family issues but not to the point of being sick of hearing about the problems and some unexpected twists. This story is fast paced, well written and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I spent the day with the book and didn't get anything done except reading because I could not put it down. I would highly recommend this book.

I received this copy from NetGalley for my feedback. I have been a fan since the beginning and have read almost every book Joan has written. I am not really a fan of second chance plot lines, but I was ready to see where Taylor Grayhawk and Brian Flynn were headed. The story was intense and suspenseful as well as romantic and poignant. I cried, I laughed and I wanted to bang their heads together sometimes. For a second chance romance, and having Leah and Aiden’s story mixed in, I was surprised to have enjoyed the book as much as I did. Great read and can’t wait for the next book to see the resolution of all the King’s brats happy endings.

As a Joan Johnston fan I have high expectations for her books and this does not disappoint. The family dynamics when rifts have not healed add another layer of interest to the book. The wildfire devastation and firefighters who battle them are exposed in their heroic efforts. An excellent installment in this series. Do yourself a favor and read them in order, you will enjoy all of them.

This just might have been the best contemporary romance I have ever read from Joan Johnston. From the very first page I was hooked as I anxiously read to see not only if Taylor and Brian would survive the plane crash, the forest fire, and multiple other obstacles but also whether they would find their way back to one another. Filled with nonstop action, this was a very enjoyable read. Although there were multiple occasions where I just wanted to knock some sense into Brian! All in all a great read, and a book that I didn't want to put down. Can't wait to see what happens with Taylor's sisters in the next book.

Surrender
by Joan Johnston

What a wonderful heartrending thought provoking romance! I really did not expect to relax and enjoy this book. The enjoyment was different from other reads. The characters the plot the way the writing touches the heart and all your emotions. It was almost a little too real at times. I must say this author is so very gifted in the way of putting photos in your mind while you are reading. I became completely engrossed in the book and did not like it when I had to stop reading to take care of other things. A warning for this book should be , while it is definitely a GREAT READ, it is also one that will touch your heart and even maybe make you cry a little for the realistic happenings. I can only say I cannot wait to read more from the author. I was given this arc in return for an honest review. Anna Swedenmom

This is the third book in the series regarding the feuding Grayhawk and Flynn families.
Tag Grayhawk and Brian Flynn had dated briefly in high school, until Tag broke it off after pressure from her twin. Since then, Tag had broken 3 engagements, since she has never loved another as she did Brian and Brian had been married and divorced. Brian is a fire fighter and Tag a pilot.
The book begins with Tag piloting a a plane over a fire and Brian on board as the spotter, when both engines flared out and they had to parachute in tandem, trying to land in a tiny meadow that was still not on fire. They get trapped in a cave and must work together to survive, while both families work together to find them. They will either die together or work to build a new life as one. As always, very well developed characters, engaging plot and rewarding resolution.

Joan Johnston never fails to delight with a good story. Excellent romance with a solid plot.

I love joan Johnston books. I love this books. The characters and the plot are really good. This book is about Taylor Grayhawk and Brian Flynn, who use to be in love. Taylor is a corporate pilot, she has been burned in the past by men and especially Brian. Brian, who is a firefighter and is a recent divorcee. I love the chemistry between these too in the book.

First Brian and Taylor have to survive before they can surrender. The obstacles that they have to go through were horrible. And written so well that I could feel their despair. So I gotta tell you, I wanted to shake Brian a time or two after they were rescued. Maybe he would have came to his senses sooner.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley. The author Joan never disappoints me. She has a way of making me feel like I am in the story myself. Crying the tears and feeling the anger right along with the main characters. Brian and Taylor and the rest of the Flynn’s and Grayhawks are definitely an interesting bunch. Family divisions and anger tend to divide them but true love finds its way . Excellent book.

Was not aware that this book was part of a series. Was not a bad read kinda wordy for my taste but would possibly look into some of the other books.

Loved the book from the very beginning to the very end. Fast paced, exciting. Not only did you include the main characters but to also learn about the rest of the family and their different stories and struggles of love heartwarming. Can’t wait for the rest of the stories.
Couldn’t put it down, Haven’t read such a good book for quite sometime and I would read it over and over again.
Thank you for opportunity to read it.
