She wants to forget he ever
existed. He'd never give up her memory.Quinn Westwood is completely over Sawyer Carson. He broke her heart years ago and disappeared from her life without a word. So yeah. She's over him. Never even thinks of him. In fact, she's spending her college summer break surfing and lifeguarding in the Outer Banks, while nursing a bruised heart from a different relationship gone wrong. She doesn't have room in her mind or heart for Sawyer—until she runs into him at a beach bonfire and the sparks that fly between them are way hotter than the flames heating the sand.
Sawyer never got over Quinn. The only thing stronger than what he feels for her is the secret keeping them apart, but sharing it would destroy more than just his life—it'd ruin hers, as well. Still, he can't seem to keep away from her, can't seem to keep his hands off of her soft, tempting skin. Especially since she has even less self-control when it comes to reigniting the physical side of what made them perfect together.
But secrets have a way of slipping out, and when Sawyer's is revealed it threatens to shatter everyone involved. He'll have to face walking away a second time, and Quinn will have to decide if fighting for him is worth it when the fallout could affect more than just her heart, but also those of the people she loves most.
Surf & Surrender is the second book in Riley Edgewood's Summer Love series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel.
Surf & Surrender is the second book in the Summer Love Series. In this novel Quinn Westwood has her heart broken when Sawyer Carson leaves town without a word. Years later Sawyer returns and with him feelings resurface in Quinn that might never have left.
The characters were amazing. I admired Quinn’s ability to face Sawyer and seek answers. She might not have been strong willed in the beginning but she progressed as the story unfolded. Sawyer was a little harder to read, he was mysterious. I would have liked to get more of what happened while he was away. It seemed like he went through some major life chances and growth. I also really liked Jess, Sawyer’s younger brother, and the added issue of his coping and how it affected his friendship with Quinn. Gianna and Chase were some awesome side characters. I would like to see a future novel written about those two.
Quinn and Sawyer’s story is probably one of my favorites from the series. The story just pulled me in from the beginning. The emotions the characters face are clearly expressed through Riley’s writing. She does an amazing job of creating amazing characters and edgy story-lines.
I give Surf & Surrender 4 out of 5 stars.
