Beautiful Surrender by Ivy Wild

5.0

Beautiful Surrender took me by surprise and shook me to my core with its intensity. I was expecting a light read about an age-gap romance with some BDSM kink. Well, it actually was an enemies to lovers age-gap romance but it was anything but a light read. Ivy Wild put me through the wringer with two emotionally broken souls fighting to stay afloat in life by adapting fire and ice personas to protect their fragile hearts. Xavier is a middle aged successful businessman with an icy demeanor to keep people away from himself. His strongest defense is the tight control he has over his feelings. Aubrey, on the other hand, is a lonely woman who has never truly been loved by anyone passed her worth to them, and she puts up a fiery front to push down her self-hate and self-doubt. She hides all her emotions except anger to protect her heart. So, our fire and ice couple clash, fight and test each other, all the while trying to trump down their intense attraction towards the other.
Again, I was completely immersed in their love/hate relationship and appreciated Ivy’s story telling.

I reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
