About the author

Lori Wilde can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to write. She even went to nursing school so she could have a schedule flexible enough to allow her to write on the side. She nursed for 20 years, working in a variety of settings from the newborn nursery to the recovery room, to dialysis. But she never lost her desire to write.

She sold her first book in 1994 to Silhouette Romance but later discovered she had a flair for comedy and branched out to Harlequin Duets and now, to Blaze.

Lori is an adventuresome soul who loves to travel. She’s taken flying lessons, completed two marathons, rode in a hot-air balloon, performed with a professional jazz band, traveled Europe as a teenager, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii, trod on glaciers in Alaska, shot white-water rapids, water-skied, snow-skied, raced all-terrain vehicles, bodysurfed in the Gulf of Mexico, and photographed grizzly bears in Yellowstone.

She lives in her native Texas, with her own real-life hero, Bill.

THis is a delightful book. It was sexy and funny with a great storyline. Four girlfriends all agree to wear a modern day chastity belt for the summer. And by the way they have a bet going on as to who will cave in to sex first. The book then proceeds to tell each woman's tale of love. Sweet Surrender will have you laughing and cheering each of these four women and the men who come to love them.

There were so many things I didn't like about this book I don't know where to start...The only "romance" I even liked was Emma and Trent's. I found the initial chastity belt premise silly and I didn't like all the manipulation and deception. I just didn't enjoy this book at all.

Wonderful book with 3 short stories about 4 women who has a bet on.
The characters were great I loved the settings for the stories. Lots of romance and adventures I love this kind!
Another great book by Lori!

This book was split into 4 different parts, to tell the story of 4 friends. I thought that some were good, some not so much. I also thought they were all a little short. Would have been better if the focus had been on one

Idiotic. Like the sisterhood of traveling pants, which I didn't read, but with chastity belt GPS-enhanced lingerie instead. No.

I didn't like that it was three short stories and one super short story. I bought it thinking it was one. But it was an okay story.

I FUCKING LOVED THIS!

[Beth · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I enjoyed the stories, I felt like fitting four stories into the book led to little character development. Why not make it a 4-book series.
