The Ultimate Surrender by Elsa Winckler is book Three in The Cavallo Brothers Series. This is the story of Hannah Sutherland and Darryn Cavallo. I haven’t yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book.
Darryn is a photographer and Hannah is the famous model. While on a photo they took their attraction to the sheets where they both felt more for each other but then another photographer Steven White told him that she has slept around. This of course broke them up but now in the present day they are facing each other again. This did have the drama of a stalker and was a second chance story…overall enjoyed this book.
This is book three in the Cavallo Brothers series. It can be read as a standalone but since it’s a series about brothers you will have some spoilers for the first two books. I haven’t read the first two books and I really enjoyed this one. I’ve already put books 1 and 2 on my kindle. Darryn and Hannah are both stubborn so there were a few times where they both drove me crazy. There is a nice bit of suspense and drama too.
Darryn and Hannah first met two years ago on a photo shoot. Darryn is a photographer and Hannah is a model. The attraction is instant and they end up spending three days together but a misunderstanding happens and Darryn takes off leaving Hannah mad, sad, and confused. Hannah gets the individual who caused the problem between her and Darryn fired and he swears he’ll make her life a nightmare. Hannah does everything she can to avoid Darryn but when her accidents start to look like they are deliberate Darryn rushes off to be with Hannah. Can these two very stubborn individuals find a way back into each other’s arms?

I really like the Cavallo series although this book is my least favorite of the 3 books. IT just was a slower book for me as I was reading it. This is Darryn and Hannah’s story. we have been getting hints about these two for a while now and our author FINALLY gave us what we have all asked for. Thank you and I hope there are more books in the work.
This is a fast-paced story about a model and photographer who first met in Seychelles and end up spending a few days together. Even though Darryn had feelings for Hannah, he knew they couldn’t have a relationship. But, when Hannah ends up in danger, Darryn is right there to help her.
I enjoyed the chemistry between Hannah and Darryn. They were a fun couple to read about. I liked the setting and the way the author told the story keeping me intrigued. This may not have been my favorite book in The Cavallo Brothers series, but it was still a good addition. If you’re looking for an exciting romance with a bit of suspense, this one would be a good one to read. But, I would recommend reading this series in order.
The Ultimate Surrender was my first story by Elsa Winckler and I will definitely be reading more. It was well written and the chemistry between Hannah and Darryn was off the charts hot. Darryn as a photographer is used to being around beautiful women but there is something different about Hannah. But he doesn’t trust easily so a misunderstanding has him rejecting her and walking away. He thinks all models are the same. But when he learns of her being threatened and in danger from a stalker, he is determined to protect her. 5 stars!
I honestly wished that I would have given the time that I spend reading this book to another more deserving book, and I have a good amount of those.. I couldn’t stand the mc he was a jerk, and don’t get me wrong I tend to like some jerks that I have read but then end up redeeming themselves I didn’t find that with this character and I was disappointed that our female mc forgave to easily..
