Synopsis
Rebecca Chase has never been interested in dating, and
definitely not in relationships. She only had two goals in life, to get her
college degree and to get the hell away from her house. When she meets Lucas
everything that she thought she had wanted was now turned upside down.
Lucas Masterson
has it all money, fame, and his dream job of being in the music industry. He
knows that most people are just out for themselves and will use him as much as
they can. When he meets Becca he realizes that he never really knew what he
wanted. He thinks that she is the most amazing person he has ever met, but can
he balance her and his crazy life?
Can two people who
come from completely different worlds make it work or will the people trying to
tear them apart succeed?

3.5 star review by Lisa Kane
Rebecca (Becca)
meets Luke in the parking lot of a liquor store. His car battery is dead and he
needs a jump. She complies and he asks her to dinner. Reluctantly she accepts.
She doesn’t know that he is Lucas Masterson, the rock star. What he doesn’t
know is Becca lives in a world of pain. Her mother is a drunk, and half
catatonic most of the time. She was once the town whore, screwing everyone for
her a fix. She works like a dog to pay for her car and keep groceries in their
beaten down house.
Becca’s best
friend, Jen, wins tickets to a concert at Citizens Bank Park in Philly where
they live. She drags Rebecca with her; want to guess who is singing at the
concert and who has second row seats? So the cat’s out of the bag and Becca
knows the guy she has a date with for dinner the next night is the rock star
that thousands of women are lusting after.
The date
goes well, so well that Luke decides to spend his week off in Philly getting to
know Becca better. She has always had intimacy issues and has never had sex.
Luke changes all of that and she is quickly falling for him. But she can’t let
down her guard about her mother and how poor they are, and she lets Luke think
Jen is her sister and her house is her home. She hates being dishonest, but
once he assumes that, she isn’t sure how to tell him the truth.
The week
together goes by quickly, too quickly. Luke asks Becca to go to tour with him
and she agrees. Unfortunately, his manager and Samantha, one of the other
performers who have been trying to get into Luke’s pants, are not happy about
Becca. One of the opening acts, Jackson Stone, wants whatever Luke has, so
naturally he wants Becca. With all these forces working against them, how can
things work?
Surrender to
Me is a good read. Being from Philly, I especially enjoyed the parts about the
area’s local attractions. I am a sucker for rock star romances. Both Luke and
Becca are likeable and share some amazing chemistry. The villains, Samantha and
Jackson are nasty enough that they make the reader loathe them and they are
quite good at throwing a wrench in the works. The book ends on a cliffy so be
prepared-I am anticipating the next one.
