Since the Surrender (Pennyroyal Green, #3)

by Julie Anne Long

[Amanda]

Julie Anne Long! How I adore you. Since the Surrender was the last book of the Pennyroyal Green series that I haven't read yet (not counting The Legend of Lyon Redmond, which, as I write this review, hasn't been released). Verdict? A good Julie Anne Long book, but not my favorite.

The end seemed to devolve into Rosalind and Chase looking at each other and making various faces and the other completely understanding what was going on their head without words. It made me struggle to figure out whose head I was in when I should have been working to figure out who was behind the disappearances of the girls.

The sex was hot, though, and can you say mutual oral sex? Now there's something you don't see every day in romances. Also sex in public places. These two.

I did like that we don't have the "should be marrying someone else" trope going on here, like there's been in the past few Julie Anne Long books I've read, but there is the whole "indiscretion" thing between Rosalind and Chase, which, honestly, is bad, but not as bad as I was expecting based on Chase's thoughts about it.

And the mystery of sorts about the girls' disappearance was interesting, although I think it took a backseat to the romance. I would have liked a little more, BUT the names in this book. lololol. You know I giggled out loud on more than one occasion.

Now that I've read all the books in this series, I'm ready to go back and reread them. Yes, I think I like Pennyroyal Green that much.
