There is nothing stronger. Such a talented author and I highly recommend this book as a must read!!!!!
Wow, I had to take the time to compose myself before writing this review. I have had my heart filled to bursting on one page to have it ripped to shreds the next. You will laugh, ugly cry and rejoice in the wonderful miracles of the world throughout reading this book. Grab the tissues. I loved it! Full 5 stars.
Surrender for Love is Book 2 of the Chaplain Series so it starts out with familiar, already loved characters. This time, Malcom and Darcy take center stage with sweet little Emma, Chaplain Linkin and his wife, Sophia, as a great supporting cast, very literally, as Darcy is fighting for her life due to a sad medical prognosis. The book is a conundrum of blissful lovemaking and heartbreaking hospital scenes as the characters fight for normalcy while trying to live life to its fullest every second of every day. The shocks, happy surprises and bittersweet moments in Surrender for Love will keep you quickly turning the pages until the very end.
*I had a hard time rating this book. While I say 3, to me its almost a 4… so like a 3.95 stars!*
I really enjoy the passion and love Lynn has for all of her characters, and it shows when she writes about them. To her, these are real people in her life, and I feel like they become real people to me.
Definitely starting with a whirlwind, we see how Darcy and Malcolm handle what life has thrown at them time after time, till the very end. One thing after another, Darcy can’t seem to catch a break, but with Malcolm in her life, she is shown that no matter what love that is meant to be can’t be stopped, and Malcolm is determined to be her silver lining in all rain clouds that come her way. Be ready for tissues at the dramatic end.
This is will need to be read in order, as some of our favorite characters from Chaplain: Sacrifice for Love return to follow Darcy and Malcolm on their rollercoaster ride.
I will say that there were some places that I hoped for a little more… well more, and I know Lynn has the determination and passion to get there. I will continue to champion her on towards great things.
