Surrendered....

I surrender series - Monica James 

Now I am not ashamed to say despite liking all things superhero and nerdy I do also love a good romance. The first in the I Surrender series was a free e-Book on Amazon and I thought let's give it a try now I have read many e-Books and don't review them all as well there isn't enough time in the day however, I read all four books in this series in the space of two days staying up until I finished them. For books to be able to do this I felt I had to write about them.

I Surrender is the first in the series and we are introduced to Ava Thompson, the beginning of the book is when her long term boyfriend Harper has just broken up with her and she is travelling home to L.A and to her best friend 'V'. Now a book that starts with heart break is bound to be depressing right? Wrong! V is the light of Ava's life and her voice of reason dragging her out of her stupor and into her life. V begins by taking Ava to meet her yummy boyfriend Lucas who is in a band Passenger's of Ego (P.O.E) along with the hot Jasper. Now as in any other romance Ava and Jasper see each other and fall from there. 

Ava and Jasper spend the rest of the book building their friendship as a basis and this eventually (yes you guessed it turns into love). The rest of the series focuses around their relationship and the obstacles they face including people trying to break them up. Now the one bad point about this whole series is you are sat thinking why Ava? Why would you do that? Because as with other romance books the cause of Ava and Jasper's turmoil is her not telling him something thinking it is in their best interest - when is it ever in the best interest to hide something from one another - it isn't. And so this continues throughout the series. What I like however, is the third book they agree to spend some time apart and they want to leave it up to fate whether they are re-united and whether it works out for them in the end. I thought this was a nice thing to do as instead of their turmoil continuing they used common sense! The fourth book White seems to have been written to finish up the story and tie up lose ends. There is a bit of tragedy in this one, one that had me tearing up just a little - I won't ruin the ending because honestly there was a short amount of time when I wasn't sure how the series would end.

I like the Fifty Shades of Grey books (although very poorly written) but this series surpasses them. It is well written with only a few minor errors in the writing. I enjoyed going through the relationship with Jasper and Ava and Monica James really shows the love that is between them. Any girl will be wishing for her own Jasper White by the end of it. If you love a bit of romance and drama this series is something to consider. And if you are unsure that is why the first book is free download from the Amazon Kindle Store now and let me know what you think, whether these books keep you awake at night.

I give this series a 9/10, these were extremely enjoyable to read the only downside is the What are you doing? thinking during the first three books. Monica James creates a knight in shining armour any girl would be happy with (one that sings like an angel as well) The secondary characters V and Lucas really help to bring the story together and you see the best friend love between Ava and V which is also nice to see. I would highly recommend the first book as it is free and a good way to get a feel for the books and the characters.
