About this ebook

Fans of Abbi Glines will adore Violetta Rand’s novels about strong-willed women who must fight to survive—and the men who love them. Welcome to the Devil’s Den, a Texas strip club where the air is heavy with desire . . . and sometimes dreams come true.
 
Ever since her mother kicked her out, twenty-year-old Robyn Gonzalez has been working the poles at the Devil’s Den, saving up to finish college and travel the world. With only her wits and her gorgeous body to rely on, Robyn has learned to be independent—fiercely independent. She’s never been tempted to let a man distract her from her dreams . . . until she meets the dead-sexy Garrick Dempsey.
 
The club’s new head of security, Garrick had walked away from a career as a mechanical engineer to return to his roots in Corpus Christi. He hadn’t planned on getting to know someone like Robyn, with her sinfully sweet combination of vulnerability and strength, at the Devil’s Den. She acts tough, but only because she’s been hurt. Soon Garrick knows he will do anything to win Robyn’s trust. And if that means surrendering to the red-hot chemistry between them, all the better.

Praise for Surrender
 
Surrender is a new adult romance for those who like their romance on the down-and-dirty side, with their heroines still surprisingly innocent and their heroes as knights in slightly tarnished armor.”Library Journal

“Edgy and kick-ass, Surrender is a sizzling romance that you’ll be hard pressed to put down!”—Stacey Kennedy, USA Today bestselling author of the Club Sin series

Surrender is a wonderful journey of passion, pleasure, and the true meaning of love. You know a book is great when you’re still turning the pages at three in the morning to read ‘one more chapter.’ I will confess right up front, Garrick is my new book boyfriend. The man is hot, hot, hot!”USA Today bestselling author Sandra Owens

“A gritty, well-paced, enthralling read, Surrender hooked me from the start.”—Bestselling author Kathryn le Veque

“The chemistry between these two was delicious. Garrick and Robyn were perfectly flawed and made for a wonderful romance tale not soon to be forgotten!”BTS Book Reviews

“New Adult readers will definitely enjoy this debut, not too dark, not too angsty, and just the right amount of naked Garrick.”—A Tasty Read

“Wow, what an emotional, suspenseful and steamy read!”—Lustful Literature

Surrender sizzles off the pages. . . . The romance that develops between Garrick and Robyn is wonderfully portrayed, but more importantly, gripping and real. Violetta [Rand] takes you deep into their heads, their emotions, and you can't help but feel for both of them.”—Blue Rose Romance

“This book was very suspenseful and I loved the chemistry between Robyn and Garrick! . . . Definitely an awesome read!”—Sweet Yet Naughty (five stars)

This explosively hot novel drew me in on many different levels. The relationship between the main characters was turbulent, emotional, and erotically charged. The plot of the story combined the best of romance with the worst of life. Rand made difficult to swallow topics accessible to the masses without sacrificing the integrity of her story. She builds a complex world for her characters to live in, combining the angst generally associated with the NA genre with all of the realities of the real world into something that will definitely capture your attention. Rand’s emotional characters definitely tugged at my heart. She shows the same story from both perspectives, sometimes going over the same scene from both sides. This dual perspective was very well done and really enriched the story while also giving readers an inside look at the main characters. I love how you really get a feel for both main characters, their thoughts, and their situations this way. This is a fantastic first novel in Rand’s new series. I’m already counting down the days until the sequel is released. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Robyn is kicked out of her home by her mother at the age of 15 with two garbage bags of belongings. But she is strong, determined and has survived. She is determined to make something of herself. At 20, she is now a junior in college and dances at The Devil's Den, a strip club. One late night she is out and she overhears a drug dealer threatening someone. The drug dealer sees her and starts chasing her. She runs right into Garrick or his truck I should say. And of course sparks fly between the two of them. And lo and behold, the next day she meets Garrick again at The Devil's Den. Although Garrick has a degree in engineering he decides to give up this stressful high powerful job and become the head of security at the club. Garrick and Robyn are of course attracted to each other right away. Robyn is a determined, independent woman. While Garrick is this strong, confident Alpha male he could be over bearing at times. He had a tendency to tell Robyn where she could go and who she could he also has a tender side. Overall it was a solid read. Look forward to stories involving other characters.

This book was not the best to read, I was very disappointed with it. Her MC books are better written.
