Summary
Riche héritière， Victoria Huntington fuit comme la peste les coureurs de dot qui la pourchassent。 Le mariage ne l'intéresse pas et， curieuse de nature， elle préfère explorer les quartiers louches de Londres déguisée en homme。 Lorsque Lucas Colebrook， le nouveau comte de Stonevale， commence à lui faire la cour， elle l'éconduit avec dédain。 Mais il n'est pas dans les habitudes de cet ancien soldat froid et arrogant， au caractère bien trempé， de renoncer facilement。 Pour obtenir sa reddition， il a l'intention de la séduire。 Et Victoria pressent qu'elle ne tardera pas à perdre cette bataille。。。

I honestly liked this book mainly because the characters are vastly different than the usual lot in regency romance books。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 3。5 stars Victoria and Lucas。 I enjoyed their story， but something was missing from this one。 Lucas was demeaning to her a lot。 For example， he let the woman he had asked to marry him four years ago host a party for him and Vicky。 To show her approval of the match。 Vicky did not want to attend such party， but he overruled her and her feelings。 So she had to back down and attend the party。 He is also a smidgeon of a jerk because he was so involved in marry her for her money that he was willing to 3。5 stars Victoria and Lucas。 I enjoyed their story， but something was missing from this one。 Lucas was demeaning to her a lot。 For example， he let the woman he had asked to marry him four years ago host a party for him and Vicky。 To show her approval of the match。 Vicky did not want to attend such party， but he overruled her and her feelings。 So she had to back down and attend the party。 He is also a smidgeon of a jerk because he was so involved in marry her for her money that he was willing to have sex with her in hopes that it would bind her to him。 Then in the big reveal he says he "thinks" he feel in love with her the night they made love-which makes him a jerk if he did not already love her before having sex with her since they were unmarried and was courting her for the money that came with her。 Vicky was too much of I want an adventure at all costs。 I did like the amber lady parts。 The mystery parts where meh。 。。。more

The book was first published in 1990 so it must be one of Amanda Quick's first books under this pseudonym。 I'm glad it wasn't the first of her book that I read， otherwise I would never have developed a love for her books。 I'm glad that over the years her historical romance books have evolved in the direction that they did: less lengthy， more focused on a mystery plot。 The book was first published in 1990 so it must be one of Amanda Quick's first books under this pseudonym。 I'm glad it wasn't the first of her book that I read， otherwise I would never have developed a love for her books。 I'm glad that over the years her historical romance books have evolved in the direction that they did: less lengthy， more focused on a mystery plot。 。。。more

（3。5 stars）I got a bit impatient because the excerpt led me to believe that the book would start with her being married or at the very least it would happen almost immediately。 I did end up enjoying the book even though I was annoyed at both characters either at the same time or one after the other。 I do have to say that this book made me think of Pride and Prejudice meets Taming of the Shrew。

Nice regency romance with a spunky heroine who has a fortune and does not want to marry。 The hero has just inherited a title but with no money。 He used to be a soldier and has a leg injury。 He selects the h for his future bride and sets to win her over。 They both end up falling in love obviously and are confronted with some dangers。

I didn't think I'd find a new favorite Amanda Quick so far down her backlist but I thought this one held up a lot better than many others。 I didn't think I'd find a new favorite Amanda Quick so far down her backlist but I thought this one held up a lot better than many others。 。。。more

Amanda Quick'in gerek historicalde， gerek günümüz zamanda geçen hikayelerinde yazdıklarını severim。 Ne yazık ki Surrender şimdiye kadar kendisinden okuduğum en kötü kitabı oldu。 Kitap， yazarın her zamanki yazma formülünü veriyor: Gizemli bir durum+ araya serpiştirilmiş romantizm。 Sanırım yazar bu kitabı çok sinirli olduğu bir dönemde yazmış。 Çünkü daha çok kadın hakları， dayanışması， özgürlükleri， "asla bir erkeğe bağımlı olma" mottosu vb。 içerikler kitabın önüne fazlasıyla geçmişti。 Kısacası "k Amanda Quick'in gerek historicalde， gerek günümüz zamanda geçen hikayelerinde yazdıklarını severim。 Ne yazık ki Surrender şimdiye kadar kendisinden okuduğum en kötü kitabı oldu。 Kitap， yazarın her zamanki yazma formülünü veriyor: Gizemli bir durum+ araya serpiştirilmiş romantizm。 Sanırım yazar bu kitabı çok sinirli olduğu bir dönemde yazmış。 Çünkü daha çok kadın hakları， dayanışması， özgürlükleri， "asla bir erkeğe bağımlı olma" mottosu vb。 içerikler kitabın önüne fazlasıyla geçmişti。 Kısacası "kadınların toplumdaki yeri nasıl olmalı" üzerine yazılmış didaktik bir deneme eseri meydana çıkmış。 Baş karakter Victoria ne kadar "Ben bağımsızım， aşk yoktur， erkekler berbattır。" kafasında olsa da birçok yerde bu söyledikleriyle ters düşecek davranışlar sergiledi。 Diğer baş karakter Marcus'un kafasını bunlarla şişirmesine rağmen 2 dakika sonra "Ben seni seviyorum， sen karşıma çıkan diğer erkeklerden farklısın。" diyor。 Sonraki cümlesi de "Ben seviyorum demedim， sevdiğimi düşündüğümü söyledim， sen beni manipüle ettin， param için evlendin， bütün erkekler aynısınız。" diyerek karşısındakini suçlayıp durdu。 Yani kitabın asıl anlatmak istediği konu ile yaşananlar arasında uçurumsal farklar mevcuttu。 Marcus da ayrı bir hikaye。 Yazar bir yandan onu erkek olduğu için zavallı ve aptal biri olarak gösterme çabasında， öbür yandan Victoria'nın mantığının bittiği yerde onun kurtarıcısı， ondan çok daha zeki biri olarak göstermiş。 Hikayesi kadar baş karakterlerinin de tuhaf olduğu hikaye bununla sınırlı değil。 Hikayenin diğer karakterleri de en az ikili kadar acayipti。 Cevaplanmamış onlarca soru görmek de ayrı rezalet。 Offf， yıllar sonra ilk kez bir kitabı okumaktan çok yoruldum。 Reading slump'a girmeme az kaldı。 。。。more

I read this book when it first came out and remember not liking it as much as Quick's previous books。 After re-read I can honestly say with hindsight the characters and situations were a bit more 'mature' （how do you maintain independence when society says you can't have it once you're married） than I was ready for it 20+ years ago。 Well worth the re-read。 I read this book when it first came out and remember not liking it as much as Quick's previous books。 After re-read I can honestly say with hindsight the characters and situations were a bit more 'mature' （how do you maintain independence when society says you can't have it once you're married） than I was ready for it 20+ years ago。 Well worth the re-read。 。。。more

Three stars is generous in a way because I just could not get behind how the story progressed and the actions of the characters。 I do not know if I would have even finished the book if it wasnt for how easy the author makes her books to read。 I do not consider this a spoiler since it's in the summary of the book but the idea of a woman who doesn't want to get married and then trapped into a marriage just does not resonate with me。 Also the title Surrender says all anyone needs to know about this Three stars is generous in a way because I just could not get behind how the story progressed and the actions of the characters。 I do not know if I would have even finished the book if it wasnt for how easy the author makes her books to read。 I do not consider this a spoiler since it's in the summary of the book but the idea of a woman who doesn't want to get married and then trapped into a marriage just does not resonate with me。 Also the title Surrender says all anyone needs to know about this book。 。。。more

This is definitely a re-read。 I just never got around to posting a review for this book eons ago。 Not much to say except I loved the heroine in this one （Victoria） and hero （Lucas）。 The two of them being thrown together due to Lucas needing an heiress and Victoria wanting adventure sets them on a fun collision course。 Of course based on the time period there are a few times you want Lucas to get kicked hard someplace。 He talks about his husbandly rights a freaking lot。 And of course back then th This is definitely a re-read。 I just never got around to posting a review for this book eons ago。 Not much to say except I loved the heroine in this one （Victoria） and hero （Lucas）。 The two of them being thrown together due to Lucas needing an heiress and Victoria wanting adventure sets them on a fun collision course。 Of course based on the time period there are a few times you want Lucas to get kicked hard someplace。 He talks about his husbandly rights a freaking lot。 And of course back then the husbands decided the wives allowance （if they decided to give them one）。 The love scenes are typical Quick， usually hero and heroine have their first time prior to marriage， they are fighting， another time in bed， and then there's a mystery to solve。 This one has a mystery about who is sending Victoria threatening notes alluding to something dark in her past。 。。。more

"Surrender" is the story of Victoria and Lucas。Our heroine is Victoria Huntington， the orphaned spinster-by-choice heiress。 Desperate to ward off suitors who want her for her money， her life changes when the biggest fortune hunter of them all， Lucas Colebrook， the darkly disturbing new Earl of Stonevale decides to set his eyes on her。 Soon he becomes her confidante and companion for nightly adventures， but when a passionate night leads to open compromise， the pair are forced to wed。 And as Victo "Surrender" is the story of Victoria and Lucas。Our heroine is Victoria Huntington， the orphaned spinster-by-choice heiress。 Desperate to ward off suitors who want her for her money， her life changes when the biggest fortune hunter of them all， Lucas Colebrook， the darkly disturbing new Earl of Stonevale decides to set his eyes on her。 Soon he becomes her confidante and companion for nightly adventures， but when a passionate night leads to open compromise， the pair are forced to wed。 And as Victoria realizes his real intentions to marry her， and decides to keep him at bay， will Lucas give in to these ridiculous demands， or will he weasel his way into her bed？Honestly， this was an averagely good read。 Really stubborn heroine who was OBSESSED with her funds and control over them due to her past， and a destitute yet obstinate hero who desperately tries to woo his way into her heart。 Both had moments where I wanted to shake them， but I do like that the revelations happen midway through the book- not at the end- so we actually see the couple working hard to solve their problems。 Their passion was sizzling， and the drama was average。Safe3/5 。。。more

3。5 starsNeither our hero， Lucas， or our heroine， Victoria， behave in a way that is either appropriate or believable for the era this book is set in。 In fact， I would say that both indulge in tstl behaviors （especially Victoria） on several occasions。 In spite of that， or maybe because of it， I found this book to be a fun and engaging romp。

This is one of those 19th century historical romances that， while they are enjoyable， don't really have anything outstanding to differentiate them a thousand other stories， other than the authors name。I enjoy this， don't get me wrong， but there was so much in this book that was reminiscent of a lot of other books I have read。 Yet， it was a fun story， with a lot of characters and a tension that results thanks to the manipulations and half told truths that catch up with certain characters - I'm lo This is one of those 19th century historical romances that， while they are enjoyable， don't really have anything outstanding to differentiate them a thousand other stories， other than the authors name。I enjoy this， don't get me wrong， but there was so much in this book that was reminiscent of a lot of other books I have read。 Yet， it was a fun story， with a lot of characters and a tension that results thanks to the manipulations and half told truths that catch up with certain characters - I'm looking at you， Lucas。 The romance seems almost too good to be true， but loose lips sink marital ships， and once the wedding is over it's on。 But as you'd expect， after that rocky start to their marriage， Victoria and Lucas finally air out all their grievances， and get themselves together and， that's it。Oh， yes。 There is that little mystery of who is sending mysterious items to Victoria， but I won't spoil the fun。I didn't dislike it， I didn't love it。 It was perfectly okay。3 stars for the Amber Knight and his Amber Lady。 。。。more

Actually， my rating is 4。5 stars。 I had to drop half a star because the hero was a bit annoying at times when he thought of himself as so smart。 Otherwise， I liked Lucas quite a lot。 Vicky as well， she had a very kind heart。 I would have liked the epilogue to be a bit longer and see how Stonevale prospered under the MCs。
