Sienna

He was determined to make my life miserable. I was sure of it. It started when we were kids, and now ignoring him was no longer an option since he hired me to clean up his image.

But I was a professional. I didn’t get to where I am today by letting anyone crack my veneer.

I could withstand my nemesis, Noah Goldsmith.

I had the man at the club to blow off steam. So Noah could go f* himself.

That was until he walked into my office one day and dropped a truth bomb that hit me square in the face.



Noah

I never really gave a damn.

Maybe that’s what got me into this mess in the first place, or perhaps someone was out to get me. Either way, I was desperate to save my company and had no choice but to enlist the help of Manhattan’s finest Public Relations expert—Sienna Black.

She’s my best friend’s sister and a major pain in the ass.

She’s always hated me, and now I have to find the strength to put up with her orders for the sake of my business.

But she’s pushing me to breaking point, and I need an escape. If I don’t get my fix from the pink-haired girl at the club, I might snap and lose everything I’ve fought so hard to build.

A steamy stand-alone with a HEA, in Book 2 of the Elite Heirs of Manhattan.
Although a stand-alone, the series is best read in order.

Yet again I am beyond impressed. Missy Walker's writing is absolutely incredible and she tells a story that is beyond hot, keeps you on your toes and leaves you wanting more.
Noah....WOW! He's the typical closed off hard a$$ for his business world, but behind closed doors, he's your dream come true! 🔥🥵❤️
I am in love with this entire series and cannot wait for the next book ❤️

I usually don’t leave two star reviews but I felt this book warranted it. This was my first book by this author so I’m definitely not judging all her work based on one book. However, I really struggled with this book due to the immaturity of the characters. They were in their thirties and acting like teenagers. The MMC had no respect for women and while I like reading alpha-hole characters I don’t like it when they are consistently cruel and disrespectful towards the FMC. In the end, I didn’t feel like he had changed. The FMC wasn’t much better, I understand she was hurt but she kept welcoming him back after he repeatedly hurt her. There was also no grovel and while the MMC said he was remorseful, his actions did not display it. Like I said, I don’t normally rate books this low but I felt this book warranted it.

Spoiler review ahead….
I had to read this twice because the first time I didn’t do my review… and oh boy, it still got me the same way as it did reading it the first time😍

First off, that beginning though…. had me feeling nervous straight away, the movie “Never been kissed” came to mind. What happened next was just as bad but when it comes from a family friend, someone you’ve known since the womb would hurt even more. I couldn’t understand the motive of his malicious prank? Geezuz Noah, he sounded like a jealous, spoilt brat, but karma (both good & bad) works in mysterious ways.

The mention of Club Caramel had me drooling with excitement (and jealousy LOL). Then I laughed at the coincidence & what I already knew was about to happen🔥🔥
The description of the club & club goers sounded intense & I could only imagine how a newbie like Sienna felt being there but boy she was about to be one lucky lady😍
What was to my own disappointment was that they couldn’t speak because I looove dirty talk but wheeew the following smut🥵 damn Noah is HOT!
The more meetings they had, their attraction was growing but of course since they loathed one another, they could never admit or even act on that attraction.
All along I’m trying to guess how would they find out? How would they act once finding out? I was glad it was Noah first because I just know Sienna would have ran from it & never would have the confidence to let him know she was the woman from the club.

And then the smut from Hamptons to Sienna’s apartment…. Geezuz I was literally salivating🥵🥵🥵 The dirty talk, the commands, honestly I’m obsessed and sooo damn jealous😩 Noah is a f’n GOD!
A little drama in between but in the end, only goodness, I will forever love a HEA!

Love your work Missy, I am always soo excited for the next book & Sinful Desires sounds amazing already😍

This is Book 2 of the Elite Heirs series and this book carries on with Sienna Black and Noah Goldsmith's story.

This enemies to lovers, sibling's best friend trope is about PR Manager, Sienna who has actively disliked Noah since she was fifteen years old when he played a horrible, demeaning prank on her. Noah, a real estate mogul has regretted it ever since but he cannot seem to break through Sienna's barriers and infuriating attitude towards him. Noah has to come pleading for Sienna's professional help with his public image when someone is intentionally trying to discredit him. But an unexpected meeting at Club Caramel brings these two together on a more personal level after Noah accidentally finds out Sienna's identity despite them both being masked at the club. Sienna is incredibly attracted to Noah but she cannot seem to move past her dislike of him and what he did to her, but she is also unable to forget her amazing encounters with him.

These two have gone on a journey of really getting to know each other on a deeper level, physically and mentally. They have also had to find out that the other has unexpected depths and is completely different to their original perceptions and to move on with the next step in their relationship.

Missy Walker writes an enthralling tale once again that sucks you into this group of friends and their families' world. The story is hot and the sex scenes are detailed and sexy. There is a lot of swearing (which is the norm in Ms Walker's books). There was a handy family organogram at the beginning of the book detailing who is who in this series. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to the next in the series about Aria. I was gifted an ARC of this book.

WOW! The previous book in this series (Seductive Hearts) got a 5 star review from me and I am glad to say that personally, I think that not only is this book continuing the legacy of the elite heirs but may be even more enticing. Sienna and Noah's chemistry was undeniable and I honestly did not expect the spice to be so early on in the book, it was an interesting surprise. Moreover, some of the inner dialogue in this book was hilarious, the insults were just so creative that I found myself laughing out loud more times than anticipated!

Sienna and Noah's journey from enemies to lovers was well paced and intriguing. Sienna's despise of Noah initially stemmed from a misunderstanding during their teenage years whilst Noah finds Sienna to be quite stuck up. They attempt to push their differences aside to collaborate on a professional project, without realising that they were more involved with each other in their personal lives than expected.

I was privileged to receive a copy of this book as an ARC, and whilst it was an easy 5 star rating, I do wish that there was more of Rose & Sienna/ Colton & Noah's respective friendships explored in this series. When reading interconnected standalone romance series, the friendships between the characters can make the story just as enjoyable as the blooming romance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! Would recommend and really great.

🌶️: start at 50% vanilla sex, around 3 described scenes, might have praise kink and maybe one butt play scene.

sienna and noah have been at odds since childhood, but now she can't ignore him any longer—he's hired her to clean up his image. as a top public relations expert, sienna is determined to keep her professional veneer intact, despite noah being her long-time nemesis and her brother’s best friend. noah, facing a crisis in his business, reluctantly turns to sienna for help, knowing she despises him. both find release in secret escapes—sienna with a man at the club and noah with a mysterious pink-haired girl. their animosity intensifies until noah drops an unexpected truth that shakes sienna’s world.

missy walker delivers another captivating story in this enemies-to-lovers romance and these to develop such an amazing connection. their journey forces them to confront the unexpected sides of each other while figuring out why they had these specific perception of each other. the book is full of steamy scenes that were mouthwatering. with a mix of enemies to lovers, best friend’s sibling, and sizzling tension, this is a binge-worthy read that leaves you craving more of noah’s complexity.

tropes: brother’s best friend, enemies to lovers, mistaken identity, workplace romance, sex club

Once again you have left me utterly amazed. This is the story of Noah and Sienna. I have to be honest Noah has been in detention with me for some time now. He has not been one of my favourite characters and I thought he might be left out in the cold where he belonged.

I was not expecting this journey from him. I loved how both characters evolved. Sienna had so much bottled up resentment for such a long time. Now she is such a strong, powerful and capable business executive with a thriving business. Noah, has also come a long way from his teenage rebellious self. Also very self assured and building a powerful business from scratch.

The way that they connected with a stranger at the “schmex” club, the unimaginable connection that joined them together. Once that connection was made, they just didn’t realise how difficult it would be to separate from each other.

Absolutely loved this novel, completely devoured it, and I am thrilled at the journey that they went on together.

This is book 2 in the Elite Heirs of Manhattan series and I cannot wait for Aria’s story.

Thank you Missy for another unputdownable novel.

This is the first time I have read a book the same day as its release. I pre-ordered my book and started reading it as soon as it hit my BookFunnel at midnight, and it did not disappoint.

Sweet Surrender is the second book in the Elite Heirs of Manhattan series. It tells the story of Sienna Black (Lourde and Barrett's daughter) and Noah Goldsmith (Ari and Olivia's son); like the preview story, the characters have known each other their whole lives. He is her brother's best friend, and she is his sister's best friend. She hates him because of a prank ten years before, so when he reaches out for help, she takes it as an opportunity to yes do her job but also makes him suffer, only to find out that he is nothing like she thought he was all these years. Noah and Sienna are fire together. She reminds me a lot to her mother, and him to his dad. Something I enjoy because Ari and Lourde were my favorites on the Elite Men of Manhattan, obviously apart from
Barrett will be on the top forever.

This book is spicy and steamy but nothing crazy, just enough to make the characters more interesting. It has your favorite enemies to lovers, best friends, brother/sister, mixed identities, and a lot of sex. Wich add to the story-making it easy to binge in one sitting because you will want more of Noah for sure.

I swear these men just keep getting better with each book!

This time we get to follow Noah and Sienna. Noah got himself into a bit a trouble after a not so flattering story hit the press. His only hope to dig himself out of this hole is his best friend’s little sister Sienna, who is the best PR manager in town. Which sucks for him because she absolutely hates him and tells him every chance she can. In her defense, I would too.

Tropes: brothers best friend, enemies to lovers.

There’s a few kink club/BDSM scenes but it’s mild in terms of description of what’s going on in the club specifically. But whats important to plot is WHO is at the club and WHAT they are doing there.


Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5

I absolutely love these two. Noah is just delicious and when he says “good girl”… oh lawd 🥵. Sienna is full of fire, determination, and just the right amount of pettiness. The spice was spicing and banter between them was *chefs kiss*.

You do see the other characters from all of Missy’s manhattan series throughout the book but this can be read as a stand alone.

Loved it. All of it.

Noah and Sienna continue the series of Elite Heirs in Book 2. These two are apparent enemies, from an incident during their years at high school which saw Sienna hurt and humiliated by her brothers best friend, Noah. This is something she has held on too, so unless it is "family" related (because if you have read the Elite Men Series you know they are all close) Sienna does not pretend.

Sienna, in this book, finds herself the "saviour" to Noah, as his bad behaviour seemingly catches up with him, and Sienna needs to PR the shit out of that to save, not only Noah's business but is reputation in business. But, little do they know, a chance meeting, under the cover of darkness, masks, an elite club of all things spicy, and no words spoken, they make a connection that neither can forget. In fact, it leaves them wanting more. Holy moly and when they spice......well this is where the trope of enemies to lovers is just so delicious.

I am a huge fan of Missy Walker, and am honoured to ARC read this, after reading and enjoying previous series, including the one that sparked this, so can highly recommend.

Even after finishing reading the book I'm still confused as to why Noah was so spiteful and mean to Sienna. What he did at the beginning of the book was way more than a harmless prank. I could understand Sienna still not liking him after all the years but I don't understand his disdain for her still continuing. I did finally start to like him but it wasn't until about 70% into the book. It would have also been great for them to have a little in depth conversation about the past and the current times, before the sports charity event, like Sienna wanted but we didn't get that. I can't deny the chemistry between the two though. It was there from their first business meeting. And as always the spice Missy Walker wrote is top notch. The times at the club, especially the first, were some of the hottest scenes I've read!! 🥵🥵 The parental advice he got from his dad and everything he did to make it a reality was great and softened me more into his corner. 😍🏡

I am voluntarily leaving a review after receiving a complimentary advanced reader copy.

5 stars – Sweet Surrender by Missy Walker is book 2 in Elite Heirs, a follow-on series to Elite Men of Manhattan (fabulous series - a MUST read!).

This story is about Noah and Sienna. Noah had been a real jerk to Sienna when they were teenagers (he is her brother’s best friend) and therefore she has hated him for years. Fast forward to super successful adult Noah who has a majorly nasty article published about him and needs Sienna’s PR expertise to figure out how to save his business and reputation. Sienna and Noah unknowingly (they are masked) meet up at an adult club and begin a spicy relationship. It’s hot y’all!

Once they uncover the truth about each other, Sienna needs some convincing to continue. This is such a good story! We see Noah mature and Sienna learn to trust. Such a steamy, spicy story!

LOVE this story with great tropes: brother’s best friend, enemies to lovers, alpha dom.

A big Thank you to Missy Walker for allowing me to read an ARC.

**A Sizzling Romance That Will Keep You Hooked!**

Missy Walker’s *Sweet Surrender* is nothing short of electrifying! The intense chemistry between Sienna and Noah is palpable from their very first masked encounter at the club. The way their initial animosity only serves to heighten their passion is masterfully done, creating a whirlwind romance that is both steamy and deeply emotional.

As the story unfolds and they discover the true identities behind their fantasies, their connection blossoms into something truly beautiful. Walker weaves a tale that is not only scorching hot but also deeply satisfying as Sienna and Noah accept their feelings and realize they are meant for each other.

I absolutely loved every moment of this book and can’t wait to dive into the next installment of the Elite Heirs of Manhattan series. If you’re looking for a romance that’s both fiery and heartfelt, *Sweet Surrender* is a must-read!

OMG Missy!!! This was EVERRRRRRYTHING!! I could not put it down and read it in a binge!! After reading the men of manhattan series and seductive hearts, I knew I’d love this book, I love the Hunkholes world! The MOM series left a lot to be lived up to and with the heirs you haven’t disappointed! I was on edge reading sweet surrender. Loved Sienna from the first chapter and already was rooting for her happiness. The story took turns I was not expecting and jeeeez, there was plenty to keep a reader going! Masks, toilets, Hamptons, exotic locations! Perfection!!! Noah may well be one of my fave hunkheirholes (I may say this about each book lol!) I loved the growth in the characters, loved that the other characters and MOM made appearances too! Cannot wait for the next one!!! Missy is the queen of tropes! Every one I read I love! Thanks for another amazing book!!

Hot and Steamy: A Must-Read Romance
"Sweet Surrender" is a sizzling addition to the Elite Heirs of Manhattan series, igniting the fiery romance between Noah Goldsmith and Sienna Black. As childhood nemeses turned enemies to lovers, their love story blends passion and power in a tantalizing way. Noah, the alpha male, and Sienna, a boss babe, instantly connect when she is invited to check out Dante’s newest exclusive club. Their chemistry is electric, and the steamy scenes set against the luxurious backdrop of Manhattan's elite society make this book a real scorcher. Watching their love grow is a real treat, and Missy delivers another fabulous story I didn't want to end. If you're a fan of spicy, high-stakes romance, "Sweet Surrender" is sure to heat things up! 💜🔥

Missy has done it again. I read this book in less than one day and only because I could not put it down. Noah did a great job of keeping his emotions and feelings close to his chest until ready to show his cards, but when he was ready, there was no way to deny him. Move over 50 Shades and Crossfire, Noah brings some Tropes and fun while also bringing romance and an amazing story line. I love their history and back story and wish this book had a thousand more pages. This book was better than I ever could have predicted and blew any expectation I had out of the water. I will definitely be re-reading this one.

I loved the elite man of manhattan serie so much, I thought it wasn’t possible but I love the elite heirs of Manhattan even more. This book was pure perfection, this story was everything. The pace was exactly good, the chemistry was sparkling and the spice was out of this world! It was a fairly short story but even that was just right. It was not long-winded and not rushed. Just a really nice book! I couldn’t put it down and devoured in one morning.

Sienna and Noah were made for each other, the banter en bickering was fun and the attraction between them was so hot! Can’t wait for Aria’s story!

This was such a cool book. Sienna and Noah had a relationship spurred on by friction but a great deal of mutual attraction.

When Sienna Black gets hired for PR for Noah Goldsmith's business their history holds great animosity and friction.

Sienna and Noah had history but being his best friend's sister, he felt obligated to hire her. Their attraction was explosive, and although they were finding stress relief elsewhere they had no idea how close they really were.

Very well written which totally made it difficult to put down. It was a compelling read as these two were such an engaging couple and although the situation was familiar it was written in an original way.

So well done I just loved it and can't wait for more.

This book had me hooked. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with this series and the one about their parents before it.
This book should be called spicy surrender lol this book is 100% my kind of spice. I read it all in just a few hours, I couldn’t put it down. It is really well written. I loved how they were drawn to each other. It was so sweet.
I cannot wait for the next one, omg that epilogue…. I can’t wait to find out what’s going on there, my mind was blown and I spent a long time trying to wrap my brain around what and how it is possible lol

This enemies to lovers book was hard to put down. Excellent character development and believable chemistry between Noah and Sienna. The spicy chapters are sensual and are done using tasteful terminology.

This book will keep you captivated from the beginning to the end while waiting to see how Noah and Sienna’s relationship develops.

I am truly captivated how Missy Walker continues to develop all the relationships from previous and current books and excited to read about their lives in the upcoming series.

Loved this 2nd book of The Elite Heirs of Manhattan the continuity to The Elite Men of Manhattan!!! Loved seeing Noah’s dominating (courtesy of his father Ari) personality come through at Club Caramel! Sienna Black is a perfect mix of Lourde and Barrett Black! It was wonderful to see her fiery side and try something new with her friend that I believe had been missing in her. Absolutely amazing how both of their characters grew through the book, and also realizing that there is more to the other person then what is shown/seen on surface.

Sienna is a boss babe, invited to check out Dante’s club (loved that you added him to this series!) and instantly connects with her disguised nemesis, Noah. They are a spicy pair, drawn to each other right away, and you get to watch their love grow. Another fabulous story from Missy Walker that I didn’t want to end. 💜

Missy... I can't wait for the next book in the Elite Heirs Series because Sweet Surrender had me absolutely hooked!!!!

Noah Goldsmith and Sienna Black are perfectly written! You get the enemies to lovers, siblings' best friends, and all the heat and tension rolled up in unknown identities, badass woman energy, and of course, the alpha male MMC.

I could not put this book down! Noah and Sienna's relationship might just compete for my favorite of the hunkholes and their heirs 😳

Sweet Surrender by Missy Walker is a captivating and steamy romance that I devoured in just one day. The characters' fiery chemistry and intense tension kept me hooked from start to finish. Walker's writing perfectly balances passion with emotion, making it impossible to put down. If you love a gripping slow-burn romance, this is definitely one to add to your reading list! Missy never disappoints.

Sienna has held a grudge on Noah for ten years. She has to act ok during family get together since he is her brother best friend. And their parents are close. But otherwise she kept her distance. When he gets targeted by someone trying to destroy his company he calls her to help the PR. Many things fall together to break down their walls between each other another good book in this series can’t wait for the next. I received an advanced copy for a honest review by my choice.

This one was definitely an interesting story with a history & a twist in the present. Noah & Sienna are like gasoline & fire, they exploded when put in close proximity, even when Noah needed her professional help. The twists & turns & surprises kept this book moving fast as one secret got revealed after another. I enjoyed them together even with all the bickering between them. Recommend to read.

I was engrossed with Sweet Surrender. Sienna and Noah’s early hatred and tension set the scene perfectly for this enemies to lovers story. I loved seeing how they battled each other and their growing attraction, not to mention unknowingly having hot encounters with each other at the sex club. Missy has brought the spice with this one! Can’t wait for Book 3.
