This series is your typical bad boy meets the gal of his dreams and what lengths he will go to to get her.

A little predictable at times, but I couldn’t get enough of Vincent. Charming, sexy and a tattooed surfer, I found his story interesting and engaging. Kristen wasn’t bad, but I couldn’t get a handle on her. She was a contradiction of sorts, but a likable character nonetheless. I enjoyed them together.

All in all, a fun quick read with plenty of steam.

I really wanted to like this one but I just did not care for it. I found a hard time getting lost in to the story, I found myself not being able to focus or connecting with the characters.

I'm glad that I get to review this book on its own, separate from the other two but that still leads to the question....... how is this a whole book. There's slight plot, but for some reason the book ends before any actual action (that isn't the characters sleeping together) happens. I also didn't love how Vincent wasn't like the other girls.

This is a strong first book in a planned trilogy. I am interested in continuing the series to see how the romance advances.

This is something I'm not expecting but I enjoyed reading the book. I like how it was written and the characters are promising

Billionaire bad boy which results in dangerously sexy story and is every romance readers catnip. Kristen soon finds out what it's like to let go and surrender to forbidden fantasies. Let me tell you, she is one lucky girl. Y'all will need a fan while reading.

Thoughts on Ending: Decent ending, felt kind of rushed to be honest. A lot got resolved in a short span at the end. I wish there was more told about Vincent and Kristen’s future though.
Would I Recommend? Yes
My Review: I really loved this series, it was sexy and fun with some angst and drama which really kept my attention. I’m reviewing the series as a whole since each book was fairly short and quick to read. Altogether it felt like a complete novel with each book ending and beginning immediately after one another. The chemistry between Vincent and Kristen was HOT and intense. Vincent is a tattooed surfer God with a heart of gold and money to spare. Kristen is smart, beautiful and sassy. Their relationship felt genuine and special. My favorite book in the series is the 2nd one, Secret Surrender, only because we really get to see Vincent and Kristen’s love grow and blossom in that one. Vincent is a very busy man and travels a lot, so there are many times when our H/h are apart. 4 stars to Forbidden Surrender and Beautiful Surrender and 5 stars to Secret Surrender. Great series, I highly recommend!
Disclosures: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is your typical 'billionaire CEO is attracted to girl and sweeps her off her feet' kind of story, with a hint of danger on the back burner. I really like Vincent's sweet attentiveness and am curious to see how their relationship is going to unfold. Seems like they're probably going to hit some roadblocks with Vincent's protective streak and Kristen's 'I can do it on my own' attitude. Needless to say, I'm intrigued!

A really well-written book with well thought out plot and a cast of believable characters who were equally relatable too.

This is the introduction of Kristen & Vincent's story. Liked the development of characters. Disturbing thought, an abused woman wanting to take her new relationship with, Vincent, slowly but once her ex-appears @ her door, she decides to go to Vincent for protection. Will see if this was the correct decision.

I enjoyed the storyline of this book. I did find that it was slow at times and then pick back up but all in all a good read

For such novel, I was expecting the story to revolve in the BDSM theme. (Hello, Fifty Shades and the other men’s fantasies-serving novels!) But Priscilla West’s Forbidden Surrender proved to me that there are still books out there that cater more to the needs of women. It’s a good blend of erotic and sensual. It has that passion which most books in the same genre lack.

The author proved that whips and other paraphernalia, and even spanking and hitting, are not necessary to please a reader’s imagination. All they need is teasing, romantic build-up, a bit of deprivation to intensify one’s craving, and eventually, just give ’em what they want.

It’s a pretty good start for a few chapters. Can’t wait to read the next.

I wanted to like this book, strong female lead with the sexy surfer CEO. But once things got going it crawled and then picked up in the last chapter. A few inconsistencies with his vehicle and clothing but that may have been fixed already. I'll finish the series because I'm curious but it needs a new edit.

I really liked this book, mainly because of the characters. Kristen has a backbone, she takes care of herself and doesn't allow Vincent to control her life. And Vincent is just awesome. Awesome! Awesome! I loved his character, he was very alpha but still soften when around Kristen, especially towards the end. where she reveals abit about her past. So cute.

This is book one in the Forever trilogy.

Vincent Sorensen is a very sexy billionaire bad boy. His passion is surfing and extreme sports and that's how he made his money. He's oh so hot.

Kristen travels to South Africa with her boss in the hope of getting Vincent as their client. He's more interested in Kristen than business but agrees if Kristen is his contact.

I enjoyed this read. I thought it was refreshing and hot. Looking forward to jumping into book two.

Bought this book in kindle format, so I will be reviewing it on my blog soon.

Kristen works as an analyst. And her next client is Vincent Sorenson.
He is not what she was expecting. And neither is the attraction she feels for him.
Although she doesn't want to mix business and pleasure, Vincent is relentless. He won't stop pursuing her until she says yes.
But she is afraid. She doesn't want to lose her job because of an affair and moreover, she had a bad experience in the past which she is trying to keep in secret.
When that past comes back to her, Vincent volunteers to be her protector.
A little bit slow in the beginning but it looks like the second book will be good.
