This book was amazing! Taylor Rylan is such a wonderful author! I absolutely adore this cover! It’s gorgeous! I love the relationship that forms between Cody and Adrian. I don’t think I have read a book where it takes half of the book for the MCs to become a couple! I think that made this story unique! Having one of the MCs so stubborn that the other MC keeps pursuing makes this story amazing! I also enjoyed seeing familiar faces and love how these characters work together. Highly recommend reading this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked the connection between Cody and Adrian. It took them awhile to get together as Cody had a lot of reservations mainly their huge age difference as he thought they wouldn’t have anything in common, and it didn’t help that Adrian said a few things that came across way worse than he’d meant them. When they finally clicked it was amazing. I loved how annoying Bishop was to Adrian, and I can’t wait to read his book, it should be exciting considering he’s a manwh*re, sometimes they fall the hardest. Just look at Jasper with Liam. I loved how close Adrian and Emme were considering the age gap and that they’re half siblings. I love the friendship between Cody, Hawke and Tris. Total friendship goals. I loved how Adrian and Cody have the same birthday and that they both planned surprise parties, lol Cody totally hijacked Adrian’s surprise party for him and surprised him an hour earlier with all their friends and family for a party. I’d totally recommend this book, series and author.
Surrendering My Affection is the fourth book in the Sulfur Springs series. I suggest reading the other books in the series first, but this book does well on its own if you don’t.
First, I really liked the characters and found the romance sweet and fluffy. It was a pretty standard romance that I find enjoyable and entertaining. The biggest issue I had with the book was that I don’t think the author understands what the United States Marshall Services does. Adrian is a Marshall, but instead of actually working as Marshall and staying within the parameters of their mission, Adrian acts more like a police officer or sheriff deputy conducting an investigation that has nothing to do with the Marshall Service. I had to really work to suspend my disbelief in order to fully enjoy the book. I felt like the author only wanted Adrian to be a Marshall because it sounded cool and not because she had any interest in what the Marshall Service does. This book would have worked just as easily if Adrian had been an FBI agent or HSI agent if the author wanted a federal law enforcement agency.
All in all, not a bad book with a pretty conventional plot that followed the well-loved tropes, but it could have used some basic research.
Great series
The pastry chef Cody who is indecisive about his love orientation. But along comes AJ.
This is a great book that shows you the turmoil that goes on when you are tempted but unsure whether to follow what your heart wants.
Great book, well narrated. Loved it.
Cody and Adrian. A couple that almost didn’t happen. And all because Cody was too stuck on that there was no way a man like Adrian would want someone as young as him. Much less want anything other than a good time. Boy was he wrong, and it was Adrian’s mission with the help of his friend to make sure that Cody saw that there was a chance for them.
This couple was one that I will say made me want to smack each of the characters. There was moments that I was just like open your eyes and see what was right in front of their eyes. Then there was moments that I had to fan myself because of the steamy moments that Rylan has perfected.
This book also introduced Bishop to the readers. This character was one that you could tell there was more to him. And I cannot wait to see if we get his story soon.
My first book by Taylor Rylan and I’ve got one thing to say… I want more! Narrated by Michael Pauley, the audio edition of Surrendering My Affection is the fourth in Rylan’s Sulfur Springs series. Though characters from earlier books are part of the plot, Rylan explains everything clearly and I was never lost. I’m highly motivated to go back now and listen to the rest of this series in order!
A May/December romance, Surrendering My Affection is sweet during the courtship, low on angst, and when they get together…? Adrian and Cody are smokin’! Taylor Rylan writes great chemistry. And Adrian is a great teacher. Once Cody moves past his issues with their age difference, these two are highly compatible.
Michael Pauley turns in a wonderful performance, and it’s clear he’s having fun with Rylan’s clever dialogue and creative characters. I’m looking forward to hearing him read me the rest of the books in the Sulfur Springs series.
Sweet and funny and hot, plus a great story, Surrendering My Affection is a winner!
Taylor Rylan’s Surrendering My Affection is the fourth book in the Sulfur Springs series. This wonderful, well written story is a contemporary m/m romance with an age gap. There is a dash of angst to work around, a touch of humor that made me smile and a lot of sweet and sexy romance. Cody and Adrian are great chatacters and I loved their interactions with each other and also amongst their friends. I love this series and this book was a great addition to it
Finally Cody got his own HEA with his bear! I loved the story when it appeared in previous books of the series and I’m glad it’s finally here! While the plot lacked some of the drama previous books were rich with, it was an interesting switch – this time we get almost total focus on the couple of MCs with some family drama to spice things up. An interesting change of pace and overall, a good addition to the series for sure.
