She should've walked away. She should've kept her secrets. But she didn't. And now, they both have to pay the price. Keeping secrets was Mandi Ruiz's specialty. Guarding her heart and staying hidden in the shadows was all she'd ever known. But when Nic Marcelli comes crashing into her life, Mandi's life is turned upside down. He's everything she can't resist, but should. Cocky, handsome, and downright irresistible, Nic comes from a lifestyle Mandi can't even begin to designer clothes, luxury cars, and wealth at his fingertips. His world is one she could never understand—one that would never accept someone like her. Lying to herself, Mandi swears that it's just a fling until high school graduation—a way to kill time. But with someone like Nic, graduation is only the beginning.

Having enjoyed the author's Strong and Wilde series, I felt like I would know what to expect from Secrets and Surrender, and boy, was I wrong!
I was less than 10 percent into the book and the emotions are all over the place.
Nic and Mandi's story runs parallel to Cody and Cassie's! And it's been great! We now know the drama and heartbreak between Nic and Mandi. And we will find out what happens to them both when they go to college. Lucky you, no need to wait out for the rest of the story.
I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the release of the others in this series. It was very well written, has a very good and believable story line and has strong characters. I was able to connect with the characters. All this mixed with some great twists and secrets that the H and h are keeping are all the makings of a great story. Can't wait for the next book!
