Y la saga de Beautiful Surrender llega a su fin con este libro. Como valoración general de la saga , he de decir que es una lectura ágil, llena de amor,erotismo e intriga. Pero todo lo mencionado anteriormente es en su justa medida, las escenas eróticas por ejemplo nunca se alargan demasiado. Esto todo hace que si nunca has leído demasiado del género es una lectura ideal para empezar porque no se te va a hacer abrumadora.

A mí me ha gustado, pero por otro lado me ha sabido a poco. Para mí, esta saga no es de las que recuerdas con el paso de los años, sino que en un par de años viendo el libro no recordaré ni de que trataba.

Fame Fortune....Love

This 5 part series was one, long book! It started with love betrayed and on the rebound Melissa found Logan. So many twists and turns, lies and lack of trust... The old adage that money can’t everything, was so true. Logan built his very sad beginning to his life up until he was a fluent businessman, CEO of his own company. Enter the villainous “other” woman, Delilah (a villainous name for an evil woman) and his world began to crumble. By learning to trust, Logan learned to love and that was the one ingredient in his life that he needed the most!

I loved this book and am sad to be done with the series. I felt so terrible for Logan, he was really hurting over the betrayal about the baby. I was happy he had Mason to share a little with but I hated that his board members were giving him grief. I enjoyed reading about the spanking bench but just as quickly everything went down hill. I have to say I think Melissa over reacted, I could not blame Logan for wanting to get back at Deliah, I think others should know that it is not his child and he is not abandoning his flesh and blood. I agree there is no point in trying to hurt Deliah for revenge I just feel his name should be cleared so he isn't seen as some tyrant. I hate how they were both hurting so much missing each other. I was thrilled that Melissa's father finally stood up for his daughter and was there to support her and I loved reading about Logan going home. It was sweet seeing how he cared so much about Rose's well being, how she spoiled him with cookies, how she encouraged him to go after Melissa, but I especially loved their moment when he was leaving and called her mom, my tears wouldn't stop running down my face. Then the most romantic thing ever happened and I was crying like a baby and falling deeper in love with Logan, it was beautiful. Then the Epilogue, it was so romantic, and Melissa was adorable, how she barely let him get the words out and then he was so cute saying "Maybe I was asking if you wanted to mark this occasion with a kiss" and of course her comeback was perfect. This was a great ending to a great series.

5 Amazing Wonderful Stars

I was given this book for my honest review.

This is the 5th book in the Beautiful Surrender Series the books need to be read in order.

“Lying with her beneath the stars, I knew forever wouldn’t begin to be long enough-but it was a good start” Logan

Melissa and Logan’s journey to finding their ever-lasting love continues in this 5th book. As awesome as this author continues to bring happiness and joy to these two loves she also brings the heartache which leaves this book just as fantastic as the last. But do these two find their ever-lasting love? Do they provide strength within each other that no one else can touch? Or do they fall victims to today’s society and go their separate ways?

Ava Claire brings out the most awesome realities of today’s world in which heartache and love can and do survive or does it? She writes with passion, warmth and love. The characters in her books bring today’s reality into play and overtake the book in itself. These characters are not just characters but have become so much more to our faithfulness in reading this one amazing journey.

The dominate force that Logan perceives with the warmth and love is a force that can’t be denied. The sex is always so hot that you need the ice cubes beside you all the time. He brings out the best and worst in Melissa as does she the same for him. Please pick up this amazing read.

Happy Reading

I really love Ava Claire's books...and this one was no different. From part one I was pulled in and hoping and pulling for Logan and Melissa. Then she throws in a curve ball with Delilah and all hell breaks loose and the hard Logan pushed Delilah away the more she pushed to get closer.

I give Melissa credit...I would have cut a bitch...especially for everything she put them through. Oh and let's not forget Jason and his constant trying to worm his way back with Melissa after he CHEATED on her...I mean REALLY, what makes you think she would take you back after the way you treated and then broke it off with her?!
It would have been kind of poetic justice if the baby daddy ended up being Jason...just saying...*hint, hint Ava for future storylines...LOL*.

But in all seriousness I loved this series...it made me laugh, blush, yell "OH NO SHE DIDN'T!", and cry. To evoke all those different emotions while reading a book, for me that makes all the difference in a book.
I HIGHLY recommend reading this series, I loved it and hopefully you will too.

Can we have more please? I'm not ready for Melissa and Logan's story to end and I would love another book in this series. One highlighting the progress and growth of their relationship further into the future. It's been a trying journey for these two and they definitely deserve it. In Waiting for Always, now that the truth about Delilah's deceit is revealed, what will Logan do? How will Melissa and Logan's relationship survive this news and Logan's reaction to the news? I thoroughly enjoyed this fifth installment in the series. We saw Logan, Melissa, and even Melissa's dad experience some changes and growth. The drama surrounding Logan and Melissa's relationship has been steady and constant since the two got together. How will their relationship stand under the scrutiny of the media and their attacks on the two? Will their love be strong enough to survive, or will one or both not be able to handle the onslaught of verbal attacks? The Beautiful Surrender series is a wonderful series that you must read! I highly recommend this book to others!

Nobody writes an alpha Dom character quite like Ava Claire.

Logan is sexy, he's caring, he's arrogant, he's charming, he's masterful, he's everything you expect a Dominant to be.

I love the penmanship and style of Ava's writing. She is truly skilled at writing rounded characters that you can't help falling in love with.

This is the final part of Logan and Melissa's story and I'm quite sad it's all over. I loved watching events unfold. I liked Melissa's submission but she is also feisty and not a doormat. She keeps Logan grounded when he wants to go off the deep end.

One thing you can guarantee when reading an Ava Claire book is that you will feel. You will empathise with the characters. You will feel their torment and pain and you will feel their love. You will feel like jumping in when things get tough and you will feel your heart buzz when the characters get together. And not forgetting that she can also write a damn hot bedroom scene....or desk scene...or kitchen scene...

This is a must read if you like your alpha men to be hot, horny and devilishly delicious!

I was given this book as an ARC for a honest review.

Logan and Melissa is one of my favorite couples. After the news that Logan found out I would have to agree with him sometimes people have to pay but in hindsight karma is a "B". I understood what Melissa wanted Logan to do but it's hard sometimes. I loved that they had a chance to deal with the past. I wanted to cry with the scene between Melissa as 2nd her father and Logan and his foster mother both were very powerful. It showed how much Logan and Melissa needed acceptance and love. Dealing with this part of their lives made way for their forever. I hope this is not the last book fir them. I would love to read how they are growing together and yes I would love to see them have a baby. As always the author wrote a super hot sex scene. Mmmm .... Logan and candlelight. More please!!!

The big reveal has been made and now we get to see how Logan and Melissa will deal with the truth. Will Logan be so blinded by anger and revenge that he doesn't see Melissa walk out the door?

I love being in Logan's world and I don't want it to be over. I was so thrilled with the outcome between Melissa and her father. Misunderstandings can ruin relationships forever if they're not worked out. I was overcome with tears when Logan went to see his foster mother, Rose. Talk about unconditional love. That woman has it in spades! In the end we learn the direction of their future and it's beautiful. The emotions are real and strong and I loved every moment spent in the Beautiful Surrender series. Ava Claire is a very talented author and I can't wait to see what's next.

I was given a arc in exchange for my honest review.

The final installment is here. And Ava does not disappoint.

So we leave off where Logan finds out he isn`t the daddy and of course, our hot headed alpha loses his cool. He also loses Melissa in the process of dealing with his emotions, the anger and hurt and wanting to punish Deliah for what she has done and taken away from him. But he starts to realize he has lost more than he thought. Is it too late for Logan to win back Melissa? you will have to read to find out.
But the ending was perfect and I was so happy and proud. I`m sure everyone will love it as much as I did :-)

Sigh, Logan. What a troubled life he has led and now he has to decide who he really is … will he be the vengeful, vindictive soul that he has maintained for years and retaliate against Delilah, probably losing Melissa in the process? Or will he see what Melissa sees and embrace forgiveness so that he can become the man he truly is deep down, one who embraces love? A beautiful ending to Melissa and Logan's journey that really lets us into Logan's past. Learning that Delilah lied about the baby sends him into a tailspin which forces Melissa to walk away from him. He has to revisit his roots and look deep within himself for the answers. What will he decide?

I received this ARC copy for my honest review.

This is book 'Waiting For Always' is book 5 and the finale of Logan & Melissa's story from the Beautiful Surrender series.

Waiting For Always is written from both Melissa and Logan's point of views. Logan opens up and begin to see himself the man Melissa always saw. I love the developed strength of Melissa's character in this installment. We get one last chance to see characters that popped up in earlier installments such as Jason, Delilah & Melissa's father & best friend. Hopefully we'll learn more about them in a future series?!

Ms Claire provided a short finale installment is that is heartwarming, and I look forward to her next series!

I have been reading the Beautiful Surrender series for a while and I was looking forward to this one. Mainly because of the way the last one ended. It was a good addition but I thought there would've been more. I like the fact that Logan didn't retaliate against Delilah but I hate that it took Melissa leaving for him to figure out he messed up. I did however enjoy the scene with Logan and his stepmom Rose. I thought that was adorable and shed a little more light on who exactly Logan is. The same could be said between Melissa and her dad. I thought this was a solid ending to the series I just wish it gave me a little bit more.

ARC Review...

After waiting for this book to arrive, I'm flabbergasted that Logan let Melissa walk in spite of the support that she has been giving him through the "Delilah baby news"... But, all things ended happily since he finally found his head and realized how wrong he was and asked for another chance to make things right --- ending of course in marriage to the heroine!

Glad to also read that Melissa father came to realize to being standoffish hasn't helped anybody and upon learning that his daughter was emotionally hurt by him, her ex-fiance and by Logan, he changed his ways and defended her and showed his support.... Wish my father's the same...

The conclusion of Melissa and Logan's story was a bag of mixed emotions for me... Happiness, joy, hope, sadness, heart break, triumph... You name it! After finding out at the end of the previous story that Delilah's baby is not his Logen sets out to get revenge much to Melissa's disappointment. This decision causes a rift between the two that was saddening but a pivotal point for their relationship and the relationships with their parents to change. We do get a HEA, and a return to pleasure point where their story began.

I enjoyed this last book a lot more compared to its predecessors, but... Yes, it would have been better if it was a longer read imo.

The final book of Mel and Logan and I have to say that Ava does not disappoint! I felt like it was a tad bit short, but then again I probably read it too fast and of course I just didn't want it to end, lol! I loved Logan's visit with his mom and the tender moment they shared. Of course his mama also made him see the light and to go and fight for Melissa! I also loved that Melissa's dad was FINALLY there for her and that their relationship is finally heading in the direction that Mel always wanted. Absolutely LOVED Logan and Mel!!

ARC review

Book five brings to a conclusion the story of Logan and Melissa. The story was somewhat predictable but had you wanting them to have their happily ever after. Unfortunately, the alpha male in Logan was missing in this volume although you got the chance to see him grow and open up to a possibility of a future he desperately wanted.

If you are looking for a quick read and don't want to think and just want to get lost in a romance story, this is a good one to pick. It left me wanting more depth to the characters.

Not exactly a page Turner

Ava's writing in these books are so "all over the road"! I really had a hard time keeping up! the story line was good and I liked her characters. these stories needed a little more filling not randomness. don't think I'll read anymore of her work. good thing I only paid .99 a story! what a waste if you paid more. Ava needs to grow a bit more in the storytelling arena. make your readers feel like they are involved in the story not just reading words.

I was given an ARC for a honest review.

We meet up with Logan after he finds out some interesting news...and he vows revenge! Revenge is a dish best served cold...and alone. Which is how he lives life for a few months after he chooses to push away the only person that understands and sees him.

The ending was sweet and I love how Logan and Melissa grew in each book to become the people the were meant to be.

Great ending to a great series. My heart just broke for Logan. He was made out to be a terrible person by Delilah. And he still kept quiet and never tried to defend himself. Poor Melissa just wanted to love Logan. But he thought he was incapable of love. Until he went to see his foster mom. She makes him realize that he has always loved . Now he just had to go get her back and love her back. Such a great series!

I think that this was the perfect ending to this series. You were able to feel so many different emotions in the story. I though for a while that the story was going to take a different turn. I love Ava Claire and i think she is extremely talent writer. The entire series has been a pleasure and i will read it over and over again

Not great, rubbish end to the book and o found it kept repeating and didn't really move on from book 4.... Only took me 40 mins to read so that says a lot on how much is contained within this book....Only 2 stars to an overall poor series...had so much potential but thought it was rushed just to get in the shelves.... Not worth the money

For happy endings

I am always pleased to get a happy ending. It does not matter how many installments I have to go through to get it. I was willing to read every one that lead up to the culmination of Logan and Melissa. They worked hard for their life together and they deserve the happiness I know they are going to get. Thanks.
