Surrender

Only once before have I finished a book then felt compelled to immediately read it again. Pamela Clare's "Surrender" became that second book. With richly woven characters, excitement abounds in this beautifully written romance set in the frontier of northeast New York during the French & Indian War. As with her other historical romances, Pamela Clare has done her homework and weaves a tale filled with history, action and love. Like I did while reading Clare's "Ride the Fire", I find myself compelled to brush up on my history, in this case the strife between England and Scotland and then England and France in America. It is the rare book of romantic fiction that inspires me to learn more and increase my knowledge of historical facts. Surrender was so compelling to me that I pulled out a map to follow the travels of Iain and his Rangers. If you like history, action and love then "Surrender" is a must read.

Pamela Clare does it again! A handsome Scottish hero, Ian MacKinnon is forced to serve the British crown in their fight against the French in the early American colonies. Ian, a Scottish warrior who has also learned fighting skills from the Abenaki Indians, forms The MacKinnon's Rangers - a skilled group of fighting men. During a scouting operation he comes across the bonnie Lady Anne Campbell who is attacked by Indians. Not only does Ian rescue Anne from Indians, but also from her circumstance as a bond slave. Months before, Anne discovers the evil, sick deeds and murder of inncents by her only living relative, her father's brother. So that his deeds are covered up, Anne's uncle has her falsely accused as a thief, arrested, and sent away to America. As Ian and Anne run from the French, the British, and their pasts, their attraction for each other grows. This passionate, sensual, intelligent romance, written in an interesting period in history, is difficult to put down. I read it in one night. A definite keeper! I sure hope Pamela Clare will make this a series, as there are two more handsome, sexy MacKinnon Brothers. Fans would love to know their stories as well.

I cannot say enough good things about this book!I'd give it 10 stars if I could.Pamela Clare is such a skilled writer that you will be right there alongside Annie and Iain on their journey.You will see the characters and be able to connect with them from the very beginning of the story.Iain MacKinnon is a true hero,everything a man should be AND MORE.He is strong,sexy,courageous and alpha-male to the core,without putting Annie down or treating her poorly in any way.Annie is DEFINITELY worthy of such a great hero and she's got a steely determination to survive-even when she knows the odds are stacked against her she doesn't give in to feeling helpless and turn into a spineless blubbering mess.This girl's got guts,I absolutely loved her courage and her strength of will. To have great characters can take you far,but a truly great book must have a good story as well,something more than just the tried-and-true conflicts that are enjoyable yet overused. Pamela gives us great conflict,and because it's not limited to one character only,you will get a good feel for what it might have been like,to be in their shoes,forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.And the love scenes are sizzling hot and refreshingly creative,without becoming sleazy,repetitive or uncomfortable.Iain is HOT HOT HOT!!! Pamela Clare is an INCREDIBLE storyteller,and I feel this is her best work yet-she has given us a wonderful,memorable story that flows effortlessly,with characters you will come to love. Her other books are wonderful as well,and keepers every time. PAMELA CLARE,YOU ROCK!!!!!!

When you pick up this book, be prepared to Surrender your time, because you will not be able to put it down! From the first paragraph all the way to the end, it's an exciting ride! Pamela Clare makes the frontier come alive, along with enough celtic ambiance for those of us who love stories set in the Highlands of Scotland. The story is fast paced and full of action, with humor and lots of sexual tension. Iain is the perfect hero (one of my all time favorites) and Annie is more than his match. The secondary characters are very well developed and I can't wait for Connor and Morgan's stories.
