Beauty from Surrender is book #2 in the Beauty Series.I read this book straight after book #1 so the story was still at the forefront of my mind.How the tides have turned somehow in this book I end up feeling a bit sorry for Jack, what amazes me is why I feel bad for him when he has totally brought this on himself!!!Jack is still a douche and in this book he’s also a petulant douche which is something new lol. He totally mind fucks Laurelyn and he somehow always manage to get his own way!! I have to say though if he wasn’t just fictional I would totally take off my hat to him because he plays Laurelyn like a bow!!!No means No dick don’t pout like a toddler!!!Amazingly even though he is an incredibly manipulative knobhead I still really like Jack even during Laurelyn’s POV’s I was still wondering what Jacks perspective would have been.I would have loved for Laurelyn to have played a bit harder to get in this book; she didn’t even really make him work for it!!Again seriously there is an insane amount of sex in this book, Jack must have lost so much weight just through the amount of spunk he’s ejaculated its scary!!!I again end up feeling a bit sorry for poor Laurelyn, it just feels like she is a people pleaser and just goes along with everything Jack says. I feel like she just overlooks her dreams to make him happy!!I not really sure where the next book will go, is it going to be Jacks or Laurelyns ex’s that cause trouble??? I’ve no idea but I’m looking forward to book #3Beauty from surrender gets 4 stars from me! This story started out great for me, right where book one leaves off. It was Jack Henry and Laurelyn with their tension and turmoil and I was really into it. Then some small things started to stand out to me and by chapter 14, while I was liking the overall storyline I was ready for more.The main characters back and forth was getting old and drawn out, everything seemed way to easy, and sometimes them speaking to one another went from playful banter to borderline juvenile. I loved their growing relationship and connection in the first book and was missing it in this one, I didn't feel like there was a lot of depth. I really enjoyed the first book and as much as I hate to compare books, this one seemed to decline for me and I did not enjoy it as much. There was more light drama but everything seemed too easily solved. Things that were a major issue before with Laurelyn just seemed to be glossed over. Maybe they'll come back around in book three?I like books with sexy times in them but I want it to make sense in the story and I didn’t always feel that with this one. I also thought some of the things Jack Henry and Laurelyn said during these times were odd. Their sex talk and some of the descriptive words were just off putting to me. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood to read it.I really enjoyed the beginning but the rest just falls into the "good read" category for me.
