Captivating friends-to-lovers romantic thriller!

She made him want to lose control, something he never did.

Sweetest Surrender by Katie Reus is a captivating and titillating friends-to-lovers romance paired with chilling suspense set in Sin City. Viva Las Vegas! It’s the third book in Katie’s Serafina: Sin City series, but it works perfectly fine as a standalone read if that is your preference. This is Vadim’s and Angel’s story and it is told from the dual view points of the two main characters.

Vadim is the Serafina Hotel & Casino’s computer guru. He’s alpha, ex-military, and hot. Angel is working as a waitress at the resort’s Cloud 9 restaurant while running from her past. She’s using a fake ID trying to survive out-of-sight of her ex who murdered her brother. Angel and Vadim are strongly attracted to each other, but Angel knows that nothing can come of it as she’s not who she claims to be and cannot stay in one place too long. When her crazed stalker finds her, will she trust Vadim enough to accept his protection?

Fans of the series will be glad to know that previous favorite characters in the series make appearances. I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention a certain lovable canine star herein.

I listened to Sweetest Surrender and found myself extending my workouts as I didn't want to hit stop with this book! Jeffrey Kafer does his normal excellent job voicing it. His voice is clear and easy to understand. His pacing is perfect. His voices sound realistic and he consistently differentiates between the characters to where I have no trouble discerning who is speaking at any one time. The end product is polished. If you enjoy audio books, I would not hesitate to pick up the audio edition of Sweetest Surrender.

I honestly can't get enough of Katie's sexy thrillers! Sweetest Surrender is the perfect blend of suspense, intrigue and hot romance with plenty of twists and turns along the way. The villain is nasty and his devious games gave me goosebumps. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys steamy romantic suspense!

Great

Just another story to love. I have enjoyed this series. I used to live in Las Vegas and it’s fun to picture the Serafina along the strip. I love how hard Vadim worked to control his dominance to not overwhelm Angel. As a fellow red head her temper felt real. I also know we are quickly over it.
Another great addition to the series. Will be sorry to see it end.

Another great addition to this series

Of the three books in this series I have read, Sweetest Surrender is my favorite story.
Vadim is a private consultant for Wyatt Christiansen, billionaire and owner of a very upscale hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Vadim is computer whiz, former military man, and a very quiet person with little personal relationships.
Angel, one of the waitresses at the Cloud Nine Restaurant in the hotel, has been running from a stalker for the past two years and keeps to herself. These two been attracted to each other since they met, and slowly become friends. When vandalism occurs and it seems Angel is in danger, Vadim moves heaven and earth to keep her safe.
It’s a story filled with suspense, an evil man, hunky good guys, and a plot that will keep you entertained. The main characters, Angel and Vadim, are well developed . While Vadim would probably frown on being called sweet, he definitely is , especially when it comes to Angel.
Definitely another great addition to this series.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the third book in the Serafina: Sin City Series written by Katie Reus and narrated by Jeffrey Kafer. I love Vadim he is a hot, ex-military, alpha male. He is the computer guru for the Serafina hotel and casino. Angel works in the hotel’s restaurant. They have both been attracted to each other since they met, but never acted on it because they are both awkward. Angel has been on the run and trying to hide from her brother’s killer for two years and now one knows. That is until the killer comes after her. This book is a fast read, and has it all romance, mystery, and sexy hot alpha men.This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises.

The narrator Jeffrey Kafer did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. He did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read/listen to this book. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author. Once I started listening to this book, I didn’t want to stop until the end.

A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

5 Stars

I really loved this hero, he was awesome in every way. I wish there was more scenes with the other characters in this series. I always want more from her books. The narrator was okay, but Ryan Hudson was better.

Sweetest Surrender Sin City Series Book 3

Sweetest Surrender is the 3rd book in “The Serafina, Sin City Series” by Katie Reus. I love the Sin City Series. Katie always brings a solid story, well developed characters that you really care about, and this is no exception. The sexy voice of Jeffrey Kafer is once again narrator for a book of Katie’s. I think I could listen to him read most anything! I listened to this book on Audible.
Vadim is a consultant of Wyatt Christiansen and Angel works at the hotel. She is trying to live under the radar and hide from her past, while trying to help the kids that live next door. When her past catches up with her, Vadim is there to protect and fall in love with her. We get to visit a short time with a few characters from the past.

Secrets, lies, and love

This is the third book in the Serafina series and true Katie Reus fashion. Angel and Vadim have attraction that heats when Angels kindness throws them together. She is running from her past and he is closed off. Secrets smolder when these two are thrown together via Vadim's protective actions!

Sweetest Surrender by Katie Reus

Sweetest Surrender by Katie Reus

3rd book in the Sin City, Serafina series. Contemporary romantic suspense. Can be read as a stand-alone.

Angel has been on her own for a couple of years, trying to escape a stalker. She is immediately attract to Vadim when he shows interest in her. When Angel is threatened, Vadim will whatever is necessary to make sure she is safe. And his.

Fast action and sexy passion filled scenes.
I had a few issues with this technically. My employer verifies social security numbers upon new hire. Would her use of the fake really have lasted as long in real life?
I love the hero protector storyline, but don’t care for the lying and manipulative actions the hero took. They had been friends for months but he didn’t give her much credit for smarts.

I did enjoy the cameo appearances of prior characters from the series.
I listened to the audio narrated by Jeffrey Kafer who did a good job switching between voices and pacing.
