Shadow’s Surrender Book Review

By Chiah Wilder

Shadow’s Surrender by Chiah Wilder is the first book on my October TBR list, and it was a great start to the month…let me tell you. This book was just an amazing read. After my surprise finding out that Chiah had a new Insurgents MC book released and finding out there is another coming, I was on cloud 9.

I always look forward to reading her books–literally stop my life to read her books, especially the Insurgents MC Series. I am so glad it’s not over yet and showing no signs of ending–so many other brothers to read about in this series. I started and finished Shadow’s Surrender on the first day, this was a real page-turner, and I just couldn’t put the book down–not for a second.

The Shadow meets the pampered princess.

This is Shadow and Scarlet’s story. Shadow, a member of The Insurgents MC, went to his best friend’s engagement party, where he meets Scarlet. When he saw her from across the room, They were immediately attracted to each other. Anyway, they hooked up at the party, although Scarlet was seeing someone else at the time (who she was not interested in anyway).

Shadow agreed to help one of the brothers finish a construction job…which just so happens to be at Scarlet’s house. Scarlet is a pampered princess, who lives at home with her parents, but she is sassy and a strong female character. I like how her character developed from the pampered princess to a strong independent female. The two hooked up again a few times, but Shadow was fighting the attraction and only wanted to keep the relationship purely sexual.

Shadow is fighting his own demons–his beloved mother was murdered when he was a teenager, and he has vowed to find her killer. Scarlet’s parents try to force her to marry a family friend (who happens to be a jerk) to merge the two families. However, she is trying to branch out to start living her life on her own terms. Her relationship with Shadow was only the beginning. When two people from two different worlds get together, it’s never easy–especially with meddling parents and people trying to kill you.

Chiah Wilder delivers again with Shadow’s Surrender. As I mentioned, I couldn’t put this book down until I was finished. This book had it all mystery, action, hot sex, leather, Harleys, and hot alpha bikers. Although Hawk acted like an ass to Scarlet when they first met, it was good to see all the other couples. The book was at times hilarious with the banter between the brothers. We got to see some more of the kids, which is great and got me wondering if there will be a second-generation series coming soon…because that would be awesome!

What I love about Chiah’s stories, besides the alpha males and sassy, strong female characters…is her plot. Every book that I have read from this series is exciting and always keeps me on my toes. I can never see it coming… It gets me every time, and Shadow’s Surrender was no different. I thought I had it all figured out, and then BAM!! A plot twist. I did not see that one coming.

This is a great series and an intriguing book, and I can’t wait to see more of the brothers get their HEA. I highly recommend the series and this book.
