This is not for the faint of heart as it involves a woman who agrees to be the submissive to 5 or 6 guys for 6 weeks to raise money for her custody battle. And no I did not make that up. :) So lots of sex. In lots of ways. With lots of descriptions. It was a bit much for me I admit.

Good Hot Stuff....This is DEFINITELY not for the faint of heart, but just up my alley!
Main character is basically a respected sex slave without the s/m factor which is hard to find in an erotic book.
She even gets time off the clock! (I restrained myself from making an awful pun there. You're welcome)
The guys are hot, the girl is gorgeous, although after two kids, i'm skeptical how PERFECT she is. As I'm a mom of 4, I'll suspend my disbelief. That's why I read!
The sex scenes are explicit to graphic almost scientific detail. In the first few pages, when the main character "readies" her to meet the others, he's so detached to what he does, it's really hot. How Zant explains her situation is vague, but I'm not looking to read Kramer vs. Kramer here. And the situation the boys put themselves in to be there, is somewhat plausible. (Not quite buying the fact that ****SPOILER ALERT**** that they would settle on one they could all share b/c it was too difficult with more than that as they'd complain and want to trade and end up fighting. I'll buy it for a good romp though.
Now, if the cover wasn't so embarassing, I'd give it to my friends to read. Why do they do that? If you're looking for the next Gone with the Wind, not for you. If you have a dirty mind, but get your kinks thru reading, this is good....hot....stuff.

Surrender was really good. It's about a woman who agrees to a sexual contract that's 6 weeks in length to make money to keep custody of her daughters. She has no idea she's to service 5 men. It's written in first person and it does have a lot of grammatical errors. The sex was hot and I liked the story overall.

Wow. Seriously erotic romance from New Concepts Publishing. Anna signs a contract to play submissive to a group of men for 6 weeks. She does it because she needs a lot of money to fight her ex for custody of the her children. She gets more than she bargained for. Lots (and lots) of explicit sex does not take away from a good story, well written, and a great Happily Ever After. Really liked it.

Very fast read. The book is almost a non-stop sex scene - the heroine spends a lot of time dazed and confused, or that could have been simple exhaustion. In the words of the heroine "there was an agenda there but I didn't get the program". Not really much sexual tension...

Real erotica, written in a straightforward manner - explicit, graphic, but in almost a detached manner. But the 5 guys are all well-built, hunky, & have different methods. If you like menage a trois, you'll like this book. And for the romantic is you, there is always the tried & true happy ending.

I have never read this author. I thought this was pretty stupid story. A story about a group of guys paying to have a women for 6 weeks. She does it to get money in order to keep custody of her kids. This part of the story was never developed or explained as to why she had to resort to such drastic measures in order to get the money for her court case. I guess it was needed inorder to get into the sex scenes in the book which also were not very entertaining. Don't waste your money or should I say your credit!

This was a fun and light read. I thought I was not going to like it as I read the reviews. I'm glad I read it and I finished it in a day. This book is so out there it's not to be taken seriously and because of that I enjoyed it. Yes there is a lot of sex, but I really enjoyed the Characters especially Kael. It's one of those quick, light books and of course it ends happy.

Much better than I expected. While this story dives right into the sex, it also immediately offers crumb of "story" and romance. This crumb builds into a fairly hearty meal of an unusual sexual romance that leads to love. But don't expect long talks and deep thoughts. These folks come to love each other through sex. This book is like many of its ilk, trying to convince us that sex really can lead to love, but I think this book succeeds.

It is graphic and steamy but is not as explicit as Emma Holly or Lora Leigh.

The cover is probably the best part of the book. The premise is really over the top. A single mom has to service several men over a set period of time. The sex is explicit, but maybe I'm jaded because I've read better smut in other books. I didn't care about the heroine or the guys.

Really good. Sex was errotic. Submission was good but not over the top. The ending was silly and not realistic buy hey arent most of them?

So let's see if you can put it down in less than 24 hours. UMMM..NOPE...Very good fast read for those of you who love the genre. The only area that confused me is that the mom did not ask what kind of work she did ..

Basically lots (and lots) of sex is what you're going to get here. Very graphic, without much tension building before scenes. The ending was pretty ridiculous, but it had to end so it may as well be a happy one. A quick read anyway.

The reviews about the sex make me chuckle. This is erotica. It's meant to be about the sex.
If you are a mainstream romance reader, this is probably too much for you.
If you are a reader of erotica, this may be too mainstream for you.

On the surface this is a submissive menage story, but it doesn't go far into the submissive part. Not a lot of tension. No discipline. At heart it is a sweet love story. I very much enjoyed it. A sweet happy ending which apparently suited my mood just now.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit unbeivable, but it's fiction, it doesn't have to necessarly be believable, just entertaining to read. Anna needs money to fight her ex-husband for custody of her two daughters, so she accepts a job as a submissive. She signs a contract to stay with five men for six weeks and do whatever they demand of her. The only thing she will not agree to is kissing; too personal. When the six weeks is up she will get her money. If she breaks the contract early, she only get a pro-rated amount.

Anna believes, because her ex told her that she is not very good in bed. The five men, Kael, Gareth, Cameron, Dev, and Chance soon have her knowing that is not true. She enjoys sex alot. She starts falling in love with all five, especially one more than the others. Girl gets guy and guys get girl, happy if not likely ending.

The print of this book is really close together, so it wasn't the easiest thing to read.
