Surrender
What do I do when I start to fall in love with my best friend?
What should I do when I know he deserves more?
Danny has always been there to lean on.
But friends is all we can be.
I’ve been hurt too much in the past to trust anyone with my heart now.
Some women don’t have prince charmings.
The glass slipper doesn’t always fit,
And fairy godmothers do not exist.
But then he saves me and we get stuck on a mountain.
Confronted with my feelings, I see there is nowhere to run.
A blizzard rages outside as a hurricane breaks within me.
Danny is determined to end the games and take what he wants.
And, he wants Rose.
A friendship that has stood the test of time, a record-breaking blizzard, and news that will rock a small town to its very core. What can they do when their rock begins to crumble?
No cheating. No cliffhangers and the kind of ending you'll just love. Team HEA all the way!!

ARC given to me by author. My review is given completely volunterly and all comments and thoughts are mine alone.
Surrender by Taylor Brent
Book 4 in The Callahan Series.
I gave this book 5 stars , to bad we don't have more stars available to give. This was the best book of the series so far. (The other 3 were awesome)
This novel was sooooooo good, of course I have been waiting for Rose and Daniel story for a while now, and it didn't disappoint me one bit. Jeezs did this one pack a punch! It took me on some twist and turns that had me surprised, and bawling my eyes out.
Rose is a stubborn woman, that has built a wall around her heart....love wasn't for her. She was a great match maker though with other relationships we had seen her at work before. Daniel has been working at the inn for years, and in love with Rose for years. He was sick to damn death of all her games and downright childish behavior. Enough was enough. He was determined to make her see she couldn’t play with him anymore. No matter how he felt about her, he couldn’t continue to let her push him around, and push him away.
This was a story full of emotions, love, devotion, anger, hot chemistry, stubbornness, sadness, unbreakable friendship, and finally at last a HEA for these two.
It can be read as a standalone, but if you want to get the back story of the other characters that appear in this book - it's worth your time to read the other book by Taylor Brent which are fantastic.

You really need to read this entire series! Each book follows the previous story, with all the characters integrated into the next one. Rose and Danny's story reminds us that family isn't always just blood, it's also family of the heart!

I loved how true to life this storyline was, I would recommend this book to adults that enjoy stories that are funny, steamy, and oh so romantic, with strong characters both male and female. Well done.

Good
It was a good read. Fluffy even with the bad part since it was completely skipped. Wish we could’ve read her journey and her fight. But it was a pretty good read.

(Review with spoilers)
Fourth book in the series, Rose and Danny's romance. Great story. I loved it.
In the previous books, Rose was an important part of them, and we already knew how she is. She wants to help people find love. She's generous, she gives everything for her friends. In this one, you discover why she is alone. It is curious that a person who does not believe in love for herself does believe in it for others, and is willing to do anything to help them, even manipulating them.
Less was known about Danny, that he is in love with Rose, and she doesn't realize it. A lot is discovered about him. He is a great man, who has always been there for Rose, first as a friend, and then as an man in love. Everyone knows how he feels about her, except Rose herself. He wants her to notice him, to see him as he is. He's tired of waiting, he wants her by his side. And he has the support of his friends. He has become my favorite protagonist.
I loved them together. I understand why Rose resists, but she should have realized that Danny would never act like her ex. He's a man of integrity who would never hurt anyone, much less the people he cares about.
I loved their intimate moments. I loved how Danny takes care of her, how he has those little details to make her smile.
I loved that Rose finally realizes what's in front of her eyes. Danny is not only the man who loves her unconditionally, but he is the man with whom she can share everything, trust, love. Their age difference is just an excuse. If she had accepted him earlier, if she had seen him, they would have been together for many years. But she could not see him. She didn't even know him, as she thinks sadly.
I loved that Jill wants to help them be together. And if for that she has to manipulate and deceive Rose ... It would be fair. Rose did it first.
I loved seeing the other characters. I look forward to the next stories, Roger's, and Kit's as well.
I recommend it.

Rose has sworn off love after finding her ex-fiance in their bed with another woman. Having returned home to lick her wounds, she sets out to make sure others find their true love, refusing to listen to her own heart and desires. Danny was just the hire helped but the first night he sees Rose, he falls in love with her. Even though he works for Rose's family, he himself feels like part of the family. They become the best of friends and supports each other over the years. However, they continue to dance around one another, never truly admitting their true feelings for one another. Will they ever face the truth? What will it take to make them finally admit it to themselves and each other?
I really enjoy this book. I like that they genuinely love one another as friends and always looked out for one another, supporting each other in their endeavors. I can see why Rose was resistant to the relationship with her initial reasoning. I would probably feel the same way she did as well.
I did feel that the ending was kind of rushed. However seeing that it's a novella, I can understand why the author had to rush it through. Still a good read and worth reading if you have some time to spare.

ONE HEART MELTING EXPERIENCE!!!
Wow! Talk about hitting a brick wall. Taylor nailed this little gem 100% on point. A rollercoaster ride of emotions and events that really pulls those heartstrings as it draws you in. You feel everything the characters feel, be it happy, sad, heartache or reaching the end of your endurance. The characters are complex and believable with such depth and individuality it's easy to relate. The chemistry between the two main characters are soul deep and intense. The scenes are so graphically detailed and descriptive you have no trouble picturing each scenario as they play off one another perfectly. All the drama, uncertainty, fear and a little suspense increases while tension spirals. Twists and turns abound with unexpected circumstances that make for one thrilling experience. This is one exciting, fast paced, heart pounding, pulse racing, page turning delight that's as riveting as it is captivating. Taylor really blew my mind with this bad boy. So complete and enthralling. Taylor did an incredible job bringing this read to life. Fantastic job Taylor, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

This is the author’s fourth book in the Callahan series and I feel it is the most poignant story yet. This is Rose and Danny’s story and it does not disappoint. I loved this story. It is beautifully written and full of emotions - humour, despair, anger, frustration, love and hope. All of the characters were back and at their finest. Rose is a loving, beautiful and generous free-spirit, but incredibly stubborn and independent (and determined to be alone). Danny is a dependable, steady and patient man (and a heartthrob with a romantic soul), and he is determined to finally win the love of his life, Rose. The chemistry between the two of them simmers throughout the story and sparks fly when they are alone together. Their journey is at times funny, at times frustrating and at times heartbreaking, but always incredibly heartfelt and hopeful. This is a heartwarming and entertaining story and a very beautiful romance. Fantastic read!

January 20, 2019I absolutely love this series of the Callahan women. Rose was devastated by her fiancé when she found him in bed with another women and as he stated to her after he was done with his business was that she was going to be his wife and to just deal with it. Needless to say she moved out and went back home to Springvale where her mother and Grammy lived. She never left Springvale and made the hidden brothel into a bar where she sold her home brew and Danny sold his own root beer. Needless to say after making her comment to Grammy all those years ago about never falling in love again, she finds it knocking on her door. Danny has been there ever since and has no plans of leaving the Inn or Rose. He's making it his mission to show Rose how much he loves her and how he's not like her ex or her father. With a twisting plot and family at her side Rose and Danny get the HEA.

*WARNING: This review contains spoilers*
This story was short but packed a punch.
Sometimes the person who fits you best is right in front of you and you don't even realise.
This is exactly what Rose found as she finally let herself see what was front of her all along. Danny, her best friend, is the perfect compliment to Rose's wild and passionate persona.
Of course, it didn't come about easily - due to Rose's stubborn streak (which is apparent throughout this series) but thanks to the words of her mother and grandmother she takes a chance.
"... Love isn’t supposed to be an easy journey. Nobody ever said it was easy to love....Have faith and look for a man that is a prince among men. He is out there and waiting. You only need to find him."
Danny, is the sweetest man. A gentleman, a great friend - an absolutely wonderful character.
I have waited to hear about his HEA and am so pleased that he ended up where he did.

Beautiful, heartwarming story
Danny was always there for Rose. He fell in love with her years ago. She was nursing shattered heart and swore of men. Now she takes what she gets for granted until one faithful night. Will Danny be able to save her and put her heart back together? Will she surrender to the feeling and allow him to build relationship with her as they both deserve?
This read gave me all the feels I always seek reading books. It has suspense, a little bit of angst, a little bit of mystery and some really earthshaking twists. There is a lot of tenderness, love, passion and chemistry between main protagonists. All the characters in this book are very well developed and the story line is thought through. I enjoyed reading this one very much and for sure I will read more of this author.

This is a delightful story about Rose Callahan, the town matchmaker, getting her comeuppance by those who are her best friends and relations by helping Danny who loved her for years to win Rose's heart. Rose being stubborn and afraid of loving again resists Danny because he's ten years younger than her. On a cloudy winter day, she decides to go walking in the park and a blizzard starts impending her way back home. Danny goes looking for her and finds her off the beaten path and they find a cave to hold up in during the blizzard. Do their time together in the cave allow them to open up how they feel toward each other? Loved, how the characters in the previous books are back in this story and I liked the treasure hunt introduced and the epilogue ending. I volunteer to read and review this enjoyable ARC of the Callahan series and look forward to more written by Taylor Brent

Surrender is the story of Rose, a woman coming off of a bad breakup, and Danny, a young man headed off to college. Over the course of a summer, they become best friends. Fast forward 15 years, and the Heart of the story continues. These 2 friends have a turbulent relationship that will be tested time and again on the way to their HEA ending.
Taylor Brent has written a wonderful story with a deeply romantic theme. Her plot is solid and I couldn't wait to read "one more chapter". There is such emotion in the writing that I felt as though I was a voyeur in the lives of these 2 characters. While this is the fourth book in the Callahan series, it can and does read as a stand-alone. This is a romance with graphic language partnered with mild sex scenes. A 5-star read!

This brilliantly written book is fourth in The Callahan series and it features Rose and Danny. My emotions really bounced around while reading this book. Danny is a man any woman would be lucky to have. He’s alpha, muscled and masculine as well as loving, sensitive and patient. Probably too patient and he’s also ten years younger than the woman he’s in love with. Rose vowed, when she was younger, to never be in love again after being hurt. This is a story of a woman that is SO stubborn she refuses to see what’s been staring her in the face for the last 15 years.
Rose finally gets her story. At times it’s fun. Other times it’s so heartbreaking I cried for her. It’s full of self discovery, love and most of all family. If I could’ve given more than five stars to this fantastic story, I would have.

I didn’t think it was possible for this author to outdo “Enigma”, another book in the Callahan series, but she absolutely did. I was waiting eagerly for Rose and Danny’s story and I felt like I was swept up into an amazing tale of love, friendship, perseverance, trust and hope. Danny sat back, quietly waiting for Rose to see him as something besides a friend until he could no longer do it. After 15 years of patience, he finally pushed Rose past her barriers with the strength and confidence of the love he had for her. Rose tried to fight it but how can you fight against something that is so obviously meant to be? This will be one of those few books I will read again and again.

This is a beautiful story of one woman's stubbornness and the man that waited, very very patiently.
I loved this book. The fourth in the series but can be read as a standalone. The plot is intricate and weaves around fear, regret, stubbornness, threat, solace . But most of all a patient love that will no longer be denied.
There are lots of twists and turns along the way and the depth to the character and plot had me engrossed.
Rose is adamant Danny is her best friend. Only her best friend. Everyone else knows otherwise.
This is the story how love finds a way.
I highly recommend this book and series.
I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet story about two soul mates who finally admitted their true feelings to each other. In some ways Danny and Rose are complete opposites but they fit together perfectly. I just wish they had realized it before fifteen years had passed. That's a long time to wait if you ask me. Still they weathered obstacles and endured tragedies and challenges along the way that made them stronger and lead them on a path towards each other. Danny was especially endearing in his devotion to Rose through sickness and in health. The story ends on a happy note which is a must for me and I recommend it if you want a nice HEA.

This fourth book in the Callahan women series by Taylor Brent featured a very stubborn woman, Rose, who struggles with letting love back into her own life even as she tries to set other couples up for romance. This is a perfect case of not being able to see the forest for the trees as it turns into a friend into lover story. As with all Taylor books, there must be a HEA of some sort or other. And, of course, the sex is just plain hot and described in rather vivid detail for the reader to enjoy as a side dish to the love story. And, if that weren't enough for one book, there is also the backdrop stories and adventures mixed in to give it more natural life. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Booksprout.

WOW this book was an emotional rollercoaster You were drawn into the lives of the characters and didn't unlock until you turned that last page.
Rose didn't trust any man not after finding her fiance in bed with another woman and what was his answer you are going to be my wife so deal with it. Luckily she could head home to Springvale to lick her wounds and regroup there she meets Danny working in her mother/Grandma's bar he is ten years younger than her but falls in love with her. She may not believe in love but fifteen years down the track the town will unite to help Danny finally get the woman he loves. This is a deeply emotional story that draws you in and never lets you go I highly recommend it

I loved the this story. How much hurt, pain and betrayal can a person go through well Rose certainly had her fair share. You can understand why Rose vowed never to love another man. Rose ended up staying at her Grams and mother's house. Danny has always been there for Rose. The the love that you will only find once in a life time. I went through a lot of emotions, I cried with the sade parts ot the story, and smiled with the warm emotional times.

This book is part of a series, all of which are great. Getting to know the characters just makes reading them so familiar. The main characters, Rose and Danny are a match. He knows it, but she denies it as she is ten years older. The next fifteen years are full of humor, drama, laughter and angst. By that time Danny is 33 and Rose 43. The twist comes arrives and how all the family work through the happenings is to be read. I received this book and voluntarily leave honest review for this advanced review copy.

A well written sweet romance. It is an exciting heartpounding addictive storyline between Rose and Danny's history and the amount of love and determination that he has. It includes an age difference, fear, uncertainty, some suspense, passion, chemistry, and twists and turns in this fast paced captivating romance. I was on the edge of my seat with the unexpected circumstances and loved all the support and love with bonus hot steamy scenes. A great standalone inthe series cant wait for more from the Callahan series.

So Worth the Wait!
A heart-warming story of a longtime burning love of friends to lovers romance. Very touching & emotional times with Rose & Danny wanting to be a part of her life forever, no matter what. A beautiful novel to read with a great story-line, a difficult topic & the strength of two people sharing this battle. Amazing how you don't know how many people really love you & will support you until something sends your world upside down. Ms. Brent did an excellent job in bringing this forward & having a HEA.
