 This is the final book in the Surrender Trilogy and it was by far the best of the three. The stories surround three friends and their relationships. We have already read about Joss and Kylie and this book is about Chessie, who is married to a Dom, Tate. 
 In the earlier books we are give hints that Chessie's marriage isn't all that it should be. In taking it all, we find out that Tate has been spending untold hours at work, leaving Chessie feeling neglected and unwanted. Tate hasn't seen-or hasn't wanted to see how unhappy Chessie is with the situation until the night of their anniversary, when he stands her up for dinner to meet a client in the bar of the restaurant. Chessie lets him know how miserable she is and he promises to do better. He does do better for a time, but then he lets Chessie down again in a major way and she walks out. 
 Can these two people, who know they love each other, move past their issues to find happiness? I liked Chessie a lot-she is a smart woman caught in a situation that isn't her fault, but one that leaves her helpless to fight. Tate needs to be Gibb's smacked on a daily basis until he sees the light, but he isn't a bad guy, just misguided. The book weaves together the threads from the other stories, giving us a satisfying ending to the entire trilogy. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, but they are enhanced by reading all three in order. 
 With some much hotter scenes than others in the trilogy, more emotion and less focus on the past, some sympathetic characters, and a well planned plot, this is one of the author's best works.
