The Serafina
New edition of ASIN B00KB4GHRA can be found here
The Serafina: Sin City Series Box Set (Volume 1) includes the following three romantic suspense titles by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katie Reus:
First Surrender (#1)
He’s dangerous, sexy, and everything she wants. And he’s about to make his claim…
Sierra hit it off with Hayden from the moment they met. The sexy, tattooed ex-SEAL is the main star in her wildest fantasies. She just wished he felt the same way. Hayden’s struggled to keep his attraction to the beautiful casino chef a secret. When an attacker targets her, he will do whatever it takes to protect her and convince her they’re meant to be together.
Sensual Surrender (#2)
I’m ready to move on. Please don’t search for me. Please just let me go.
~Ellie
The note on the kitchen table shatters Jay Wentworth’s world into bits. Ellie is his lover, his soulmate, his best friend…she’s the woman who stood by him through the aftermath of a horrible explosion, the woman he’s planning to propose to. He’d do anything for her…except let her go. With his fierce protectiveness kicked into overdrive, he teams up with Ellie’s Hotel Serafina boss, billionaire Wyatt Christiansen, to find her. Ellie is family at the casino and they take care of their own.
Ellie is devastated when her secret past finally catches up with her. Stupid to think she could bury the mistakes of her youth and find happiness with a good man. Leaving Jay rips her heart to shreds, but it’s the only way she can protect him from the dangerous people she once ran with. And deep down, she fears he’ll never be able to forgive her for hiding her past from him.
The closer Jay gets to the truth about Ellie, the deeper he plunges into danger. He’ll move heaven and earth to save her, but if she can’t trust in Jay’s love it might be too late for both of them.
Sweetest Surrender (#3)
A woman on the run…
Angel has been on her own for two years, moving from place to place to outrun her past. With no family and few friends to lean on, she’s managed to keep her secrets and stay safe. But when her past suddenly catches up to her, she has a choice to make. Run or stay and claim her life once more.
He’ll stop at nothing to protect her…
Vadim has never let anyone close to him—until Angel. From the first time he met her, everything changed. As a private consultant for Wyatt Christiansen, he’s good with computers and he’s got connections to unearth people’s deepest, darkest secrets. When Angel’s life is threatened Vadim steps in and uses all his resources to end the threat once and for all. As the danger closes in, he lies to her in an effort to protect her, not realizing that even once the threat is eliminated, he might lose her anyway.

Katie Reus writes great stories that are not boring, give this set a try, I think you will love it also.

Enjoyed the reads.

First Surrender - This novella introduces us to a new series by Ms Reus that promises to be another winner.
The story belongs to Chef Sierra and Hayden, a Security Specialist in one of the most exclusive hotels in Vegas.
They have become friends and secretly have had feeling for each other, but it isn’t until Sierra is assaulted , that these feelings are revealed.
Suffice is to say, the author compacts in the novella a sexy, full of suspense, action and romance. One that will keep your interest throughout the story.
Sensual Surrender - This one belongs to Ellie and Jay. Ellie is the PA for successful millionaire Wyatt Christensen and Jay is his lead bodyguard.
They have been together for a year and are totally in love. Jay is ready to propose , when he gets home to find a goodbye letter from Ellie. Ellie has left him and her job because someone from her past is after her and will harm anyone close to her. She refuses to have them hurt.
But when her boss and Jay have her followed and rescue her in her first attempt to solve her problems, they discover her secrets. Needless to say, Jay was NOT a happy camper.
It’s a story filled with intrigue, bad guys, hunky good guys, sex and romance.
Sweetest Surrender is just as good and makes this series another winner by this talented author.

I recommend these stories
I don't consider myself one to critique an author or their stories, but I know what I like, so, this is just my humble opinion. Although I did love the stories, who doesn't love hot, protective, alpha makes going above & beyond to protect his love? I guess, my greatest complaint is that the stories seemed to just give you only highlights. In other words, I wished the stories were longer. Despite that, I do recommend this series.

I gave this series a rating of five. Loved the characters that she paired up with each other. The books were fast moving, and definitely held your interest. It's fun to see these big macho men turn into ceramics when they meet their match and fall in love. Lots of very sexy love scenes I would recommend this book to all women looking for a good read.
I would like to see her write books that were longer in length. When you find a good book and author sometimes you hate to see it end

All three men are lethal. But only to those who think they can take what is theirs. And by theirs . They mean their ladies. Whether they have already claimed them or not.

3 terrific stories
FIRST SURRENDER 5 stars
Sierra is a chef in a casino. Hayden is one of the security specialists at the casino. When Sierra is attacked in the garage, Hayden knows it's time to tell her how he feels.
A sexy ex SEAL, a cute chef, and plenty of passion. When they get together they bout burn the place down.
Loved the book!
__________
SENSUAL SURRENDER..5 stars
Jay is a former Marine and is Wyatt's personal bodyguard. Ellie is his assistant. Jay and Ellie have been together for a year. But her ex gets out of jail and threatens everything Ellie holds dear.
Will she stay and fight for the man she loves or will she let her past decide her future?
Great story. An ex, former marine, and friends that stick no matter what.
__________
SWEETEST SURRENDER...5 stars
Angel is on the run from a stalker. Vadim is a Russian computer expert for the Serafina. He is attracted to Angel but believes he's not good enough for her. But when his car is vandalized while she'd been driving it, he takes her to his home. He'll do anything to protect her.
This was my favorite. Vadim is sexy, protective, and possesses a sweet side. Angel has many secrets but is strong and independent. Sexy bathroom scene.

Serafina:Sin City a sure winner.
Wow what an awesome box set. If you're a Katie Reus fan you will love this set of books. They are set in the Serafina Hotel in Las Vegas. These books all contain strong alpha males who don't think they deserve the women they love. Their protective overbearing attitudes make it hard to start and stay in a relationship. They have all served their country in some sort of government service. The women they love are all strong independent women trying their best to survive on their own. Each story has a member of the Serafina security force falling in love a protecting their woman.
Katie Reus always writes standalone stories with intrigue or suspense wrapped up in a hot steamy romance. Her HEA stories will bring a smile to your face and wish you had a alpha male of your own. Highly recommend this set of books.

Volume 1: 1st 3 books in the Serafina Series in one volume.
First Surrender - Well written but if you take the explicit sex out of it it would only be 10 pages long. Then I found out that it is only a novella. I did enjoy the story, even if the characters were a bit thin.
Sensual Surrender - Better than the first book since there was more story than explicit sex. Well written.
Sweetest Surrender - I liked this one the best. Are they growing on me?
