    Bittersweet Perfection!!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2022*

Bittersweet Surrender shocked me in all the ways. This was a book I picked up blurb unread so imagine my surprise discovering it was a love triangle. Now listen love triangles are not my thing, in fact I usually will run the other way. But, wowzers, when I tell you QB Tyler had me riveted.This baby was chock full of emotion and angst. I felt as emotionally wrung out as Charley. It can’t be easy to experience the greatest love of your life at the worst possible time. Married, her heart should be with her husband but things between them are broken and have been for a long time with little hope of mending. Never did Charley imagine she’d find her heart captured by the very last man she should be with; her marriage counselor. But, love knows no bounds, it is messy, it is irrefutable, it is inconvenient, it is impossible to deny the heart what it wants and QB made sure I felt it all. Charley’s internal struggles and conflicting feelings between Dr. Montgomery and her husband  was powerfully tangible. Oh my and that spice, QB ma’am, the spice was freaking im-pecc-able!Bittersweet Surrender was a compelling, passionate, tempestuous tale that had me in its chokehold from beginning to end.Lacy Laurel made for the perfect Charley. Her and Alexander Neal’s narration truly just embodied the essence of this beautiful love story. This is book one of a duet so expect to have your heart in your throat until you pick up book two.

    Wow! What a tangled web we weave.
  

*by A***Z on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2023*

Holy Smokes! This story was unexpected and uncomfortable. I absolutely despise cheating, there is no excuse for it. I figured there was no way I’d really get into this story with that being the catalyst of everything but, surprisingly, I got into it! Still did NOT approve of the cheating. My motto has and always will be, break up 1st. Even if with my voicemail if I don’t answer the phone. Have some dignity for your past and move on to your present/future with a somewhat effort of being honest and clear conscience. That being said, I can’t imagine being ignored for YEARS like our h was. It’s got to be a mind and self esteem F for sure being taken away from everything you love and expected to be a housewife with nothing to give you joy around or to do.  This story is full of hurt and passion and shared responsibility for all that went wrong. I liked that part. How nobody got off Scott free with no blame. It dealt with real life situations and spread enough pain around so everyone got a helping of it. So very uncomfortable at times that I had to stop reading. I deal with vicarious embarrassment on the daily so this was ROUGH people.  Not sure what comes next but I’ll bet a brutal battle. This book ends on more of a book break (like when reading a Sarah J. Maas mega novel & you hit certain milestones within where the book is about to explore a major new part after a shocking revelation or someone had an aha growth moment and it ends “Part 1”) that’s how this ends. Not a cliffhanger but a “Part 1 end” as there is no way to stop at this point if you are reading the book as NOTHING has been cleared up or resolved. A good amount of back and forth, hurt, deceit, and the domino effect that hits family and friends?? Yeah this story twists and turns all over the place.  And how can I go ANY further without speaking about the holy shee-it ton of spice! 🥵🔥😮‍💨💦! I was blushing as these words burned up pages wow-zas!! The passion Charley and Will have shows such a (physical) connection that there is NO question about their chemistry. Nope! That is hotter than ever. I only question their emotional connection. They throw out, “I love you” so frequently that it lost its power for me. I began to worry that they are trying to convince themselves as well as each other that this is true. So much of their relationship was physical that I wonder what happens now that they are in the real world.  Q.B. Tyler isn’t a new to me author but her brand of Taboo messes with my head so I have to take her is small dozes! 🤣 Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF THESE BOOKS!!! They just have such an uncomfortable undertone, her stories, that I need breaks in between. 😉  All in all, this book 1 of duet was entrancing. I just had to keep following this train wreck to the end and realized I’m still not off this mad ride. So heading off to read the next book to finally get all the answers and, I’m sure, get a poop ton more of uncomfortable situations but hopefully learn a bit more about Hot Doc as it seems this story might center more around him with Matt going after him now. Can’t wait to see how this all comes together in the end!

    2.5 stars for the selfish people in this triangle
  

*by E***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022*

I honestly didn’t like this book. I had so many scratch my head moments that I was waiting for a big twist at the end.I love taboo stories but the characters were not endearing to me. The least problematic character was the marriage counselor however he broke the most sacred code of all, Trust. Charley spend most of the book talking about she wanted, she wasn’t getting and yet she continued in a couples counseling that she wasn’t invested in. The husband Matt was underrepresented in this book. I wanted to know this story from his point of view too. How does a man who noticed bruising on a young 17 yr old and fight so hard to help her all of a sudden works relentlessly like he owes the mob money. That man wouldn’t forget a birthday. I think Matt was misrepresented and no one really delved into who saved him from his trauma.There was a lot of sex in this book. It seemed to overpower the plot where flawed people are trying to find their happily ever after. It just was too much sex and not enough accountability by each player. I’m struggling with whether I will read book 2.
