If you like your heroes alpha and when they get hooked, its non-negotiable, this is the book for you. The heroine does stand up for herself and what she wants in life, but she did seem to fall for our man pretty quickly. Didn't like that tidbit that they never really interacted before and now they are together so fast. Cute read, definitely in the vibe of an Aurora Rose Reynolds or Alexa Riley book.

I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review.

The storyline was okay,but I was really put off by all the gratuitous swearing, so many f- bombs. There was quite a bit of repetitive thoughts/ actions, and the pacing felt rushed. It does give the requisite HEA for romances, though.

Surrendering to Him is a fast paced, engaging read that draws you in from the first page, with strong, likable characters and a fun plot.

Loved, loved this book. I really enjoyed this book, it was a do not put down book. Look forward to more books.

I absolutely loved Huxley. This is an awesome example of 2 people LOVING each other. Bring it on.

5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has pain, secrets, suspense, and heartbreak.

This is Phoebe and Huxley’s story. Phoebe's in danger and Huxley steps in to save her. But she just wants to save herself she doesn't wanna be involved with him. She just wants to focus on her work but little does she know he is out to have her forever. Hes always wanted her but this is his one in to actually get her. Can he protect her and also get her to fall for him?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

This book felt short and sweet but was easy to read.
I found the relationship eyebrow raising from the start with the way he took over her life and she allowed him to - considering she was written as a headstrong, independent woman.
The story moved at a good pace but I found the ending rushed. For instance, I wanted to know what happened to his sister and her son. This was set up to be an interesting storyline but then dropped.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

This book was hooooot as sin and I loooooved Hux. I had a good time reading this book, however I was disappointed in the heroine who did not feel well developed who always lost her brain capacity in a "hux fog" (which she made sure to mention at least once per chapter). I felt unsatisfied of how he took over her life and without her knowing him at all, really.
The chemistry was great through and the steamy scenes were steamy!! Recommend it if you are looking for a fun, light read.

Unfortunately this was a dud for me. The characters were felt, the romance was lackluster and the plot left me wishing for more. I did not think the relationship between Phoebe and Hux was well-developed and believable. I also found the humour during the more serious parts of the book to be off-putting and unrealistic.

I received a free copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The general idea and plot was great, but the execution left something to be desired. If some random guy I basically had never talked to barged into my work and threw me over his shoulder and left, I'd be pissed and call the cops, not aroused. And if Phoebe said "fuckity fuck fuck" one more time I was going to throttle her through the pages. It was ridiculous.

I really struggled with this book.

The book does take off pretty quick. Trying to pull you into Phoebe and Huxley’s world. It was really hard for me to connect that these two would jump into a relationship so fast. One minute you learn that they barely have interacted in the past and next thing you know she is in bed with him, having breakfast, talking about security systems. It was a little crazy.

I was just challenging trying to keep up and connect to these two. I loved Huxley, our alpha male, but I wished his character would have a little more development.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This story was great fun to read, Huxley so clearly cares for Phoebe but she is fighting him thanks to past hurt and seeing her slowly start to accept him made me happy
Phoebe is an investigative journalist and her latest story about local government corruption has put her in danger, Huxley is a PI who is also investigating the same corruption, however he has an insight and he wants to protect Phoebe from the bad that is heading their way
Huxley is the kind of hero that I so want in my life, he is gorgeous, dedicated and fiercely protective of those he cares about
Whilst I understand her reluctance, Phoebe did start to really annoy me at times. She hides from her feelings and seems determined to be in control all the time. I think part of the reason I struggled with her was because the story is written almost exclusively from her point of view. There is minimal narration from Huxley and I think this blocked me from fully understanding him as a character and his reasoning behind a lot of his actions, especially around Phoebe
I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a dashing hero, protecting and making the world right whilst chaos devolves around them

This was the first book I read by Hope Jones and really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and how much Hux protected Phoebe when she got herself in trouble with the local drug cartel. The only thing I didn't like was that we really didn't get to see the chase, them meeting for the first time the story just jumped into him "kidnapping" her for her protection. After that Hux declared that they were a couple.

Complementary copy given for honest review and opinion.
This book got intense real fast. I finished reading it in one night because I couldn’t put it down. I loved the sassy and alpha characters. It was a perfect read.

I really enjoyed this story!

This was a good story that had excellent detail and it was fast paced which worked so well for me, I thought it was a really addictive read.

The characters worked very well together and they were genuine and believable too which I think really helped carry the story through to the end.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, highly recommended!

After reading the last book from this author I knew she writes the kind of characters I love so when this one became available I jumped on in. And I did like the characters. I liked the story. It was well written and I enjoyed the suspense of trying to figure out what was going to happen.

I got nervous as we got closer to the end that it was all already wrapped up but I was already invested enough to be ok with just getting the happily ever after and hopefully a teaser for some of the other characters. Because this seriously has to become a series for these PI boys.

Phoebe was great. She went toe to toe with Huxley every time he did the whole alpha chest beating thing. And I loved that he was soft enough with her to stop and explain why he was being overbearing. I also loved that every time it came from such a real place and that once Phoebe saw that she would let it go. A few times I thought he owed a lot more explaining even if I did get where he was coming from.

I had a few issues with the start of their relationship. It felt like it started without any real substance. And I didn't feel their initial connection. Which took me a bit to get over but since I liked them together so much I let it go and fell into the story. I also loved the secondary characters and I am praying this is the first book in a series.

Surrendering to Him by Hope Jones is Huxley Carson and Phoebe Danvers's story.
Wow! What a truly fascinating and fabulous read! This is a sweet, funny, heartwarming, steamy and edge your seat story that will have you going back for re-reads time and time again. Phoebe is an investigative writer for her local paper while Huxley is ex FBI and now runs his own PI firm with his own team which they currently are working to bring down a cartel that is nasty news for anyone that crosses their path. Guess who that would be ? Phoebe... this brings Huxley into her life along with the action, suspense, intrigue, passion , heat, drama, angst , huge chemistry/connection plus total feels....which means an amazing rollercoaster ride that leads to a fantastic read and a great new author to look out for. Hope Jones nailed it with her freshman book and left me with craving more...like will we get Phoebe's BFF story? I really hope so 🔖📚. This is one book you don't want to miss.

My Rating: 4.7 stars *******

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters and the great chemistry. I could not put this book down. Great story as well.

This was a quick somewhat enjoyable read but I would have liked to have read more of Huxley's POV. There were a few instances when we did get his thoughts, but not in the first person like Phoebe's was written which was kind of odd and he said so few words throughout the book that I felt like I never really got to know him. There was no buildup to their relationship and I missed their getting to know each other. Not an outstanding read, but a short, quick "okay" read that could have been better in my opinion. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

I recieved a free digital copy of this arc from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. These are my opinions and given freely.

I really enjoyed this book, so much suspense and I love Hux... He was a little bit of a dick, and tok forceful to start with... I'd have loved more background and maybe a day or too before the book started since it seemed like there wasn't really any introduction to the characters

I loved seeing Phoebe soften and getting the help that she clearly needed. I loved Mollie and Davina too
