SURRENDERING TO HUNT makes one think of the phrase don't judge a book by the cover. The first impression is interesting, and Jennifer Ryan is going to teach us all a valuable lesson. Part of the Wyoming Wilde series, so all Wilde fans are going to be very happy.   Hunt and Cyn are like two ends of a magnet. They deflect each other while harboring an intense attraction that neither would admit. Hunt Wilde is the local policeman who keeps giving Cyn speeding tickets. Perhaps that is why she glares at him whenever they are together. Or perhaps not. That is the joy of meeting characters conceived by Jennifer Ryan and why SURRENDERING TO HUNT is just plain delightful.   And yet SURRENDERING TO HUNT is about domestic abuse, which is difficult to read about, probably because it is more prevalent than we would like to admit.   Cyn's sister Angela's boyfriend Rad uses her as his private punching bag. Of course, he rapidly apologizes each time, she then forgives him until the next time. Cyn is tired of seeing her sister bruised and lacking self-confidence. All Cyn wants is for Angela to extricate herself from this relationship. But that is the frustrating part.   Hunt has been called to Rad's house for domestic issues. His hands are tied if Angela won't press charges. And now Hunt finds Cyn placing herself between her sister and Rad. That is making this personal. As much as Hunt can't understand why Cyn gives him the cold shoulder, he is finding it more difficult to keep his distance. There is just something about this sassy, purple-haired beautician that has gotten under his skin. And Hunt has thick skin. This is why these two make a great, unexpected team.   Rad and Hunt used to be good friends. Hunt didn't recognize the angry bully Rad had become. As a lawman Hunt begins to see these qualities in his old friend and tries on several occasions to get him to stop. He knew that Angela and Rads' relationship was toxic. But without her statement, his hands were tied. Until he witnessed how far Rad would go.   There was no way to ignore the threats that Rad now voiced right in front of Hunt, while he used their friendship as a ploy for understanding. Hunt would never understand or ignore bullying or abuse. And now unfortunately Cyn has made herself a target. Cyn's reaction to Hunt goes beyond her traffic tickets. She can't understand why he can't or won't help Angela. This has become her mission and it has made her a target.   SURRENDERING TO HUNT isn't about surrendering to fear, it is about standing up to it. There are moments in this Jennifer Ryan story that will make you very sad. But once again Jennifer Ryan delves deep into a devastating problem and does not sugarcoat the issue. SURRENDERING TO HUNT is done with heart and care making it an important story to read.
