Publisher's summary

After his father’s retirement, Elia Montalto took over organized crime in King’s Trace, Maine.

His pragmatic nature makes him popular and allows him to strike alliances with government officials, which keeps prying eyes off his business.

But even a town as small as theirs is not without risk or envy, and Elia has only ever really wanted one thing: Senator Harrison’s daughter.

As the eldest daughter of a corrupt politician, survival was Caroline Harrison’s only hope of one day being granted freedom. But her father has other plans, and when negotiations for her hand in marriage begin, all her dreams shatter.

That is until she makes an unlikely ally: the handsome, young boss of the local mafia. Elia makes an offer Caroline can’t refuse, though it becomes clear soon into their union that the senator’s daughter isn’t as innocent as she seems.

He may have promised her protection, but she isn’t the one who needs it.

Sweet Surrender is the first interconnected standalone in the King's Trace Antiheroes series, a dark romance trilogy centering around a corrupt small town in Maine. Listener discretion is advised.

OMG

I read this story before and when I saw its was available here I grabbed them so I can listen to it! I freaking love these stories!! Ugh! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the books 😍

3.75 will burn the world down stars ⭐️

Marriage of convenience with some dark themes like past child abuse. The heroines father is a dirty politician and isn’t a good man at all. I found the heroine stubborn and at times she drove me a little crazy. The hero definitely falls first and will burn the world down for her. Overall 3.75 STARS ⭐️

Dual narration 5 ⭐️

Caroline and Elia

Caroline has a lot of childhood trauma I honestly think this book was not your usual books that I read from the writer it was a little different. Carolina is tired of having to deal with her dad's commands and before she gets sold to the highest buyer she decided to beat her dad to it and get merry to a mafia boss. If you have childhood trauma I wouldn't recommend it. Over all I liked the story,

Dark & Beautiful

This was such a good story, it sucks you in right from the beginning. It’s full of secret plots, soul deep longing, angst, and chemistry that is pure magic. I absolutely love how Elia is consumed by Caroline, and does everything he can to keep her soul intact. There is so much push and pull, and secrets that unravel, you can’t help but love these dark and tainted souls.

Caroline and Elia

Marriage of convenience, he falls first, and happily ever after. I rooted for Caroline the WHOLE BOOK! The twists had me shook and the at Elia’s heart is shown in the book is really something else. You are able to start falling in love with Juliette and just get a hint of her love interest in the next book. Not gunna lie, the last main scene was a little graphic for my liking but I’m not saying they didn’t deserve what was brought to them. Still Team Cash and Kal btw :)

Great story

I loved the detail and outline of this story. I felt like it was perfect and It wasn’t over whelming for me.

So good!

Holy "touch her and die" marvelousness! Sweet Sacrifice was just releasing when I found Sav, and that's what I started with. I planned to go back and read this one eventually, and man, am I glad I did! Caroline and Elia are hot, hot, HOT! 🔥 Love this story! The mafia, knife play, the downright violence of it all was amazing!
