Review:
Total Surrender is an adult version of The Beauty and the Beast mixed will a little Fifty Shades. The twist for me, is that from the beginning, Bella is actually the dominant in the relationship. Granted, Maddox has his rules, but they are all for show, Bella owned him before she offered herself to him, she just didn’t know it.
Their relationship is a unconventional one, but it just speaks to the power of love and persistence. Bella knew that Maddox had a hard exterior, but inside there was a heart of a lion. His actions proved what he words could not.
It wasn’t easy taming the beast and just when you think these two are ready to take their “arrangement” to a different level, the people closest to them could be the ones that tear them apart.
So ready for Hunter’s story.
Favorite Scene: Security Cameras
All the scenes with Bella talking to Maddux through the security cameras gave me all the feels. It was sad, funny, heartbreaking, poignant. It was their relationship in a nutshell.
