Surrendering to Him is an amazing story which kept me in my happy place cover to cover. Huxley Carson owns his own PI firm, after leaving the FBI, so he's all kinds of protective alpha. He & team are trying to take down a cartel, and you already know it's not an easy thing to do, not to mention, extremely dangerous. While on this case, he runs into investigative reporter Phoebe Danvers, who is in the crosshairs of that cartel, so she's in some pretty big danger herself. This is how they start getting to know each other, as he's determined to keep her safe since she's not backing down from crap. They have some serious chemistry, and it doesn't take long for feelings to be caught, but there's still that whole cartel issue to deal with first. The twists are crazy intense, keeping me on the edge of my seat with my heart racing, and f-bombs dropping. So, will these two come out of all of the dangerous chaos for a shot at a future together?! You'll have to hit that one click button to find out! As for me, I'm in love with Hope Jones, and CANNOT wait to read more! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I struggled to finish this.
There were too many repetitions, their chemistry didn’t feel genuine to me. Some parts were funny and definitely sexy, but all in all it was lacking some aspects I enjoy in books.

The beginning of the book it feels like they've know each other for a while, maybe dated in the past. The way he gently touches her or calls her pet names and wanting to hold or touch hands all the time. She confirms they never had any type of relationship before. When he takes her back to her house after the security cameras are set up, he says he's going to pick her up and take her out but shes reluctant and refuses. He goes in to kiss her while gently holding her neck and around the waist and it feels like he's forcing a relationship on her. He makes her all hot and bothered but doesn't do much to really try and stop it.
Hux is such a protector rather than just an alpha male. He is there to save her from the situation she gets herself into with trying to write an article about the cartel running through their town.
They fall in love fast but they take their time to say it.

Wow! For an author who only has 1 other published book, you would never know it by reading this one. This book has major Kristen Ashley, Aurora Rose Reynolds and Harper Sloan vibes.

Phoebe is a strong willed, stubborn journalist. All characteristics need for that profession. However it’s landed her on the wrong side of some bad people and that is exactly where Hux comes into play.

Huxley is a badass PI that owns his own security company. He has been circling Phoebe for a while and he decided now is the time to give in and claim Phoebe as his own once he learns the severity of her danger. It was bound to happen regardless of the danger. This just gave him the excuse needed to take over.

If your are a fan of Hawk Delgado, Nico Mayson or Axel Reid then you will fall head over heels for Huxley Carson.

This is one to feed my craving of suspense and romance. It heads up with a investigative journalist and a alpha PI. Phoebe and Huxley are the ones that take us on this intriguing story that has danger at its heels. This is also a second chance you might say since one of them was intrigued before now. As this unravels we are thrown in deeper. Oh I also was in so deep that I almost forgot this is the first time in reading this author. With the monsters at their heels we do not want to let go until we have all the answers with also seeing whom is left standing or loving.

Still in a Hux fog days later! This story is full of surprises, suspenseful, some scary events and filled with laughter to break the much needed tension with the things that unfold in the story-line and these characters. Phoebe is a strong hard headed person and will stop at nothing to get her story exposed. Guess that is why Huxley had to go all Alpha male to stop her interview and start trying to protect her! All I will say to avoid any spoilers. Huxley is an Alpha through and through and now it's time to let Phoebe know that not only will he aide in getting her story, they need to do it a certain way to protect her and he's pulling out all stops to show her now is the time for them to explore a potential relationship. Can he protect her, but still get her story out there without endangering anyone lives? We shall see once you read the story. This is the second book I've read by this author and enjoyed. I truly hope that the other characters in this book get a story. So here's to trying! Throw me a Roman Candle and keep us in a Hux fog!

Holy Hot Guys Batman!!
This is definitely a new author to watch. This second book by Hope Jones just reinforced my first impression of this amazing new author. Phoebe Danvers is a reporter. She stuck her nose in the wrong business and now the bad guys are after her.
Huxley Carson is a PI bound and determined to protect Phoebe whether she him to or not. She has lost almost everyone she’s ever cared about so she’s afraid to open herself up to a relationship. But his kisses leave her in a Hux Fog! Huxley is a alpha to the core and I just love a hot take charge man.I got a lot of Kristen Ashley vibes from this book. I definitely want to read more about the rest of the PI team.

Surrendering to Him by Hope Jones is the story of Huxley Carson and Phoebe Danvers.
Huxley is a ex FBI who now has a PI firm working currently on bringing down a Cartel. Huxley has had his eye on Phoebe since his first glance but nothing has brought them together until now. Phoebe is a investigative reporter who is also doing a investigation that is leading her into danger. Danger that Huxley wants to protect her from. But Phoebe isn't listing to his request and putting herself more into the danger. Huxley was the strong alpha male with the instant love that I love. Really enjoyed this book and hope to read more from this author soon!

New to me author. I loved Hux and Phoebe. The story starts off with a bang and immediately grabs your attention. Very OTT H and many swoon worthy moments. Lots of action and suspense. I hope it’s the start of a new series with secondary characters. #netgalley

This was told the first person while it’s Phoebe’s point of view and then it switches to third person when it was Hux’s point of view. I feel like that just ruined the whole flow of the story as now you have to re-wire your brain and think more on what’s happening. It should have just stayed in first person so we could see it from Hux’s point of view.

However, I loved Phoebe’s inner dialogue because it was so hilarious. Her relationship with Millie was beautiful and her undeniable connection to Hux was swoon-worthy. I loved Hux’s cavemen, alpha-male ways and how he didn’t quit even when Phoebe made it difficult.

There’s excitement, danger, some suspense, some unbelievably sexy scenes and just the right amount of comedy that I found myself smiling most of the time.

I’m hoping we get more stories from this group because I need more Millie, Kian, Davina, Roman, and even Stone.

Totally suspenseful! Phoebe is an investigative journalist in a small town where she dominates in her field by taking risks and them paying off big time. Until her last risk, which almost gets her killed, but thanks to Huxley the local PI, is able to intercept and save her. Totally confused, Phoebe doesn’t understand what’s going on and why she can’t write her story and basically do her job, and is also just as confused by Huxley’s caveman routine especially since they weren’t together. That all changes though when they can’t fight the chemistry any longer and Huxley takes a stance and puts his feelings out there while keeping her safe. The witty banter between these characters was quite possibly the best part of this book, because starting out I really felt like I missed something and it started somewhat abruptly. Overall, the suspense pulled through and just when I thought Phoebe was safe, something else happens that drags her back in. Interested to see if we will see more books (particularly Phoebe’s best friend)!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

NEW TO ME AUTHOR and I fell in love with the blurb and the sweet cover, I was not ready for this since it is a new author, do I don’t know their writing style very well. So this is how I felt:

The hero Hux is a big, handsome, alpha, sexy and sweet man…he works a dangerous job but is his own boss and knows how to handle himself. The heroine Phoebe is a sweet, sassy, active (don’t want to use the word hyper) beautiful woman that is a investigative journalist, so it can somewhat be dangerous. After two years of being around one another, Hux and Phoebe essentially first made contact if that makes sense. He pulls her out of a dangerous situation and she is livid pissed at him. This is where they start..and I’ll stop here because I want to explain my feelings towards the heroine…the hero seems calm, alpha, love the way he talks to her or in general and is towards the heroine, she on the other hand kind of grew on me the wrong way: She seems very ping-pong hyper at times and I am left with not knowing that I jumped from one rock to another. There were times I just, it felt off…like one where she was pissed at him for something that I don’t know didn’t seem right to be THAT overly-pissed off about since the hero explained to her from the beginning regarding the item and what he did…so that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. But in the end you do understand that she is a girl that lost everything, and it isn’t easy for her to open up to be hurt again. Aside from that I enjoyed their banter, Hux really is the sweetest and swooniest man especially towards our heroine who is a spit-fire and he tames her. There is quiet angst in here, but the sexy scenes definitely do not disappoint. To me, this was a great potential and enough for me to read more by this new author I discovered, for sure!!

This one was a miss for me. The writing style was hard for me to get into. The book was choppy. I just didn't care for the story either.

I really loved this book so much it was really great and I really enjoyed it so much I never read a book by this author before but I really love it so I might start reading some

This is my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it It is well written kept me n the edge of my seat the characters had great depth and I was glued to until I turned that last page And what more could I ever want from a book. If I could give more than five stars I would

Huxley Carson is ex FBI and now runs his own PI firm with his own team and he is working to bring down a Cartel This cartel has also caught the eye of investigative reporter Phoebe Danvers in fact she has also caught Huxley eye and he is determined to keep her safe He warns her off the story and even hints he will give her an exclusive later but she has no intention of walking away. As they spend more time together it only increases Huxley's feelings for her and she is beginning to think that he may be the one for her but have they left it to late for their relationship and will the danger destroy them. You will have to read to see if they will survive and get the HEA they deserve

Huxley & Phoebe's story is FANTASTIC!!! We get a really great alpha, a strong heroine, fun friends & family... Is this going to be a series? This needs to be a series, because Hux's sister, Phoebe's best friend, and all Hux's guys need stories. NEED! <3

I loved the pacing, the adventure, the LOVE in this story. While Phoebe tries to put up a fight, she & Huxley are together for the whole story & the drama surrounding them is well written, which equals my favorite kind of story!! Two thumbs WAY up! This joins When She Remembers on my favorites & re-read shelf! : )

This was a quick and easy read, but nothing particularly special. The actual plot of the book wasn't written, it was summarised in a few short paragraphs of "tell, not show" so nothing really happened on the page.

The relationship between the two main characters felt forced - they'd never properly met before, but all of a sudden had real, deep feelings? I know that often this kind of book has an element of insta-love, but here it felt like there was no reason at all for the characters to like each other. Neither had any real personality and their interactions felt mechanical.

Overall, I was not a fan!

I have posted this review to Goodreads and will also post to Amazon after its release.

I loved this book so much! Surrendering to Him is my first book by this author. When I found out that she is affiliated with Boom Factory Publishing I knew I was going to be in for a treat.

I was hooked from the very first page. You see first hand how absolutely alpha Huxley Carson is and it gets better and better. Huxley Carson is a former police officer, former FBI agent and now a bada$$ private investigator. He has had his eye on the local investigative reporter, Phoebe Danvers for the past few years. Unknowingly Phoebe finds herself in some trouble, Hux finally finds his way in and makes it his mission to keep her safe. The banter between these two was fantastic and the chemistry is off the charts. But Phoebe fights the attraction, she was determined to keep her heart safe. She had lost too much in her life and not willing to go through that again, but Hux is just as determined to finally have her for his own.

I am definitely a new fan and looking forward to reading more from this author!

Thank you Netgalley and Boom Factory Publishing, LLC for giving me the opportunity to read this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Disclaimer - I was given a free digital download of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly I couldn’t really get into the story. I liked the character profiles, but found their dynamic a bit awkward and unrealistic. The story line was interesting, but unfortunately I couldn’t relate or connect with the main characters of the book.

What an awesome read! It had an amazing amount of detail and work put into it. I really liked these characters and the love they had for each other.
I will definitely read more of this authors' future books.
