Fresh Fiction Review

SURRENDER TO SULTRY
Macy Beckett

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro

Romance Contemporary

In SURRENDER TO SULTRY Mary Beckett combines lost love with an old friendship which has been renewed.

We meet Leah who is the daughter of the town's preacher. She left her home town of Sultry Springs leaving the townsfolk to wonder why. Leah has come back to help her father with his health issues. We also meet Colton who was the town's bad boy who is now the town's sheriff.

Mary Beckett's story about this small town makes readers feel just like they live there. Readers learn how in a small town like Sultry Springs everyone knows everything about each of the residents.

What amazed me about this story is the way that Mary Beckett combines, love friendship and trust. During SURRENDER TO SULTY, I hated some of the characters but later I loved them. Almost to the point where I was wishing for the end to work out the way we all hoped it would.

Mary Beckett talks about Γ©clairs, which I love. The way that Mary talks about them makes readers mouth's water for one. Who would think that you could write about Γ©clairs in a way that makes people laugh.

I would definitely recommend SURRENDER TO SULTY to anyone who loves to read romances with a dash of humor.

SUMMARY

Feeling the Heat

How do you stay under the sheriff's radar in a town that prides itself on knowing everyone's business? Leah's not sure it's possible, but she's determined to avoid Colton Bea for as long as she can. Seeing him again would be too heartbreaking-and she knows from experience his bone-melting kisses are way too tempting.

Colt still hasn't forgiven Leah for her sudden disappearing act ten years ago. He may no longer be the hellion he was in high school, but he's still willing to play dirty to get what he wants. And he won't let Leah get away again. Armed with chocolate Γ©clairs, a killer smile, and an adorable niece, he will make sure that this time the love of his life has plenty of reasons to stay.
