Deadly Surrender (The Serafina: Sin City #5)
by Katie Reus
Blurb:
Good
old-fashioned heartbreak sent Grace running to Las Vegas for a new start.
There, she has the support of a college buddy and her social group, which
includes Logan…funny, sexy, protective Logan MacNeil. They’ve become close
friends, but that’s all Grace is willing to offer. Logan’s a known player, and
Grace has been hurt enough for one lifetime, thanks. Getting left at the altar
will do that to a woman.
Being apart could
end their lives…
Logan’s
reputation is more than a little exaggerated, and he’s never cared. Until
Grace. She’s worth risking his heart again, if he can convince the brave,
independent woman he’s not the playboy he seems. Right now she needs a
friend…and a protector. Someone has already targeted them both—twice. Logan
suspects he gained an enemy for his part in his boss’s recent failed business
deal. But until he’s sure, he’s keeping Grace close. Achingly, torturously
close… And when things turn deadly, he’ll lay everything on the line to make
her his.

Review:
The
long-awaited return to the Serafina series has arrived and Logan gives us a
story of love and honor that reminds us that not everyone gets it right on the
first try, but hopefully we all ends up with the right person in the end. Katie Reus is for sure a favorite author of
mine and I loved this series when it first came out last year, a spin-off of
her ---- series. When the series ended
rather abruptly many readers began begging for Logan to get his won story,
having gotten to know him when his twin, Roman, fell in love. Well the wait is finally over and it was
worth every moment. Grace moved to Vegas
a few years earlier after a rather disastrous ending to her engagement left her
unwilling to stay in the same town as her ex.
Since then she has made a lot of friends and in building her life up,
but she’s not exactly a party girl, a teacher with a quite life, except the one
bit of excitement in her life is her best friend Logan. He lights her up and makes her burn anytime
he is on her mind on in her presence but she knows his reputation and isn’t
willing to trust him with her heart.
Logan has been falling in love with Grace since the moment he met her,
but she won’t let him out of the friend-zone.
One wild night changes everything when she let’s down her guard and he
gets her into his bed, but she pulls away just as quickly. Soon he is back pining for the woman that
makes him burn and leaves him aching for a life he can’t seem to grab ahold
of. When danger follows him home,
putting Grace directly into the cross hairs, there is no way he will let her be
in danger because of him, so he pulls her into a protective detail that will
put the heat level between them up to a thousand. Running for their lives doesn’t seem to stop
the passion between them and if only they can slow down long enough to actually
talk about the future, they might both come to understand that fate has brought
them together and they are the perfect pair.
Log is such a big sweetheart, as is apparent from the first moment he
appear in this book (for those who hadn’t already met him), and his protective
streak is as deep as the Grand Canyon.
Whether he is fighting for their lives or showing Grace how much he
appreciates her passion, his dedication in everything he does makes him the
ultimate good guy and the type of alpha male that I always love to read
about. I loved seeing him in action both
bringing down the bad guys and finally getting a chance to work his magic on Grace. Grace is a woman who was burned badly in the
past, and understandably has her doubts about starting a relationship with
someone she thinks is a player, but at the same time I wish she had opened up
to Logan a little more sooner. Once she
did begin to see him for the man he truly was, letting her perceptions go, I
like her a lot more and began to appreciate her character. I enjoyed seeing her working alongside Logan
when they were on the run and while she was so obviously way out of her depth,
she refused to give up or become a damsel in distress, fighting for her man and
standing up for those that were in danger around her. I loved the chemistry between Logan and Grace,
but the laughter and sweetness of their relationship was just as fun to read
about, building a solid base for them to build their lives on. I am hoping this wasn’t the end of the return
to the Serafina series, but if it was, it was a great way to go out to be
sure. Way to go Katie, another
masterpiece.
