Title: Surrendered
Series: She Who Dares #3
Author: LP Lovell
Release Date: December 29, 2014
Synopsis
I have spent my entire life fighting. Fighting for survival. Fighting my past. Fighting to keep anyone from getting to close. Until him. Theodore Ellis.
He’s my light in the darkness. The only person who makes me truly feel. My most unlikely of saviours. No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to fight him.
No matter how many blows I rain down on him, he remains, loyal and unmoving. I love him. I need him.
Theo is my vulnerability, the chink in my armour, but he is also my strength. I can’t fight him anymore.
The past only holds as much power as you allow it to. It’s time to tell my story. It’s time to bare my soul, and let Theo in to my dark world. It’s time to take back my power.
Love is a war. She who dares wins.
I’m ready to risk it all. I’m ready to surrender.

Besieged, 4.5 Stars!
I literally just finished this book and I am writing this review as
tears roll down my cheeks. I am heart broken over the way this book
ended but yet so incredibly happy that book 2 is already out! LP Lovell
definitely takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions in this love
story about a billionaire playboy who experiences love for the first
time with a girl fighting to survive her horrific past.
"I live every minute, every hour, every day locked in an epic internal battle where strength fights weakness in a bloody dual, but strength must conquer or weakness will consume all that I am, all that I have fought so hard and risked everything to become." ~ Lilly
In most books where the author has written an alpha male hero, we are given a demure, innocent heroine. Not in this one! Lilly is strong, smart, and assertive. I loved Lilly's character and it was refreshing to read about a woman taking charge not only in the corporate world, but also in the bedroom! Though emotionally guarded, this girl was sexy, seductive, and held nothing back. She knew exactly what she wanted and went after it!
Theo is your classic Christian Grey. I know it is crazy, but I compare all billionaire playboys to Mr. Grey! Minus the red room of pain, Theo was one HOT man. He's beautiful, rich, and says dirty words in a way that he could melt any woman's panty's off! Talk about steamy scenes that make you feel the need to fan yourself! These two characters had explosive, raw chemistry. You could feel the heat coming off the page! Just as it was thigh clenching, it was enduring yet emotional to watch Theo evolve from a selfish womanizer into a swoon worthy book boyfriend. I did however break my heart to watch Lilly struggle with opening herself up to Theo and finally letting him love her.
In addition to well written main characters and storyline, I really enjoyed the relationships that Theo had with his sister, Cat, and best friend, Hugo. Lilly's best friends and roommates, George and Molly, where also a sweet addition. It is always a bonus to have supporting characters that you fall in love with as well. There are several ups and downs and a surprise twist in Theo and Lilly's journey that I think the reader will enjoy.
From start to finish, I really liked this book and I am anxious to start book 2! There are so many layers to this story and I feel like there is so much more to come! I would definitely recommend this book. This is my first LP Lovell novel and it will not be my last!
"The difference between me and everyone is...I've endured more pain and betrayal than most people could dream of. I have endured the stuff of nightmares and yet here I stand, fighting for strength. You know what they say though...Diamonds are made under pressure."~Lilly

Conquered, 5 Stars!
Where
do I even begin?! Wow...so much goes down in this book! The emotional
anxiety that LP Lovell puts you through while reading this continuation
of Theo and Lilly's story is off the hook! The storyline becomes so much
richer and the sexual angst is scorching hot. Book 2 picks up right
where book 1 left off. Theo is trying to pick up the pieces of a broken
heart while Lilly is one hot mess.
"Love is not
something that wanes easily. To love is to feel pain, to feel
vulnerable, but also to feel alive. Love is the difference between
living and existing. The loss of love is a test in survival."~Theo
My
heart broke for Theo. He finally found the one girl who could settle
his wild playboy ways only to be rejected time and time again. How Lilly
walked away from him, I will never understand. Theo is sex on a
stick...all male hotness with a filthy sexy mouth. Unfortunately, as
tempting as he was, it just wasn't enough for Lilly to let herself
forgive him.
"I hate you so much for this. I hate
you because you took something perfect and you ruined it. I hate you
because I love you. No matter how much I hate it, I do love you, so
much, but it's not enough."~Lilly
Lilly was
the definition of a hot mess...hell bent on self destruction. As much as
I felt bad for the situation that she was in, I wanted her to come to
her senses, toughen up, and stop drinking her problems away. As always,
George and Molly were there to pick her up until one night when even
they weren't enough to save Lilly from herself. As Lilly's secrets begin
to unfold and someone from her past emerges, everything changes for her
and Theo. Theo will risk it all and put his heart on the line once
again for the woman who owns his heart. When Lilly finally lets Theo in,
what she tells him of her past can possibly be the beginning or the end
of their future together.
"I never believed in love
before. I'd never met anyone who made me want anything more than one
night. Then I met her. She came into my life like an explosion, igniting
everything she touched, blinding in her brilliance. Earth shattering.
She took my foundations to the core. She made me fall hard. She made me
want to risks everything for her, including myself."~Theo
I
really enjoyed this one! It was nonstop, raw, and emotional. I have
fallen in love with Theo and I am rooting for Lilly. I can't wait to
start book 3 and find out the secrets that Lilly has been holding on to.
I'm hoping that sharing her past with Theo will set her free and allow
her give herself to him fully and completely. They have been through so
much together and deserve their happily ever after. I have truly enjoyed
this series so far and look forward to the conclusion of Theo and
Lilly's love story!

Surrendered, 5 Stars!!
"Love. It can be found in the most unlikely of places, from the
most unsuspecting individuals. It has the ability to completely break
you, or utterly complete you."~Lilly
Surrendered is the epic conclusion to the She Who Dares Series and it was just that...EPIC!! This was such a great series that I loved from the start. LP Lovell wrote a beautiful trilogy about one woman's fight for life and one man's will to risk everything to give her a happily ever after.
"Love is war for which we willingly bleed. Willing sacrifice. Walls are smashed to the ground, and hearts captured. Love is the Holy Grail for which we all strive. True love and true happiness are one in the same."~Lilly
Like Besieged and Conquered, Surrendered is filled with raw emotion. I laughed. I cried. I swooned.
One minute I was nervous to read what was going to happen next, and then the next minute, I was having to fan myself! LP Lovell can definitely write some super steamy sexy scenes! There were a few ongoing twist in this series that played out well. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't follow your typical storyline.
I absolutely loved the character development in this series. You will fall head over hills for Theo and wish that Lilly was your best friend. These books would not be the same without Harry, Molly, George, and Hugo. There was so much to each character that they could easily carry their own book. I would love a book about Harry. I think there is so much about him that we still don't know and his intensity would make for one HOT book! A love triangle between Harry, Hugo, and Molly would be AMAZING!
I would definitely recommend this book to fans of books with yummy billionaire alpha males and strong feisty heroines. If you liked the Love Me With Lies series by Tarryn Fisher, I think you will love this one too!
"My road to happiness has been fought with difficulty. I have been Besieged. I have Conquered my fears, and I have Surrendered to this strange thing we call love, and in doing so, I have found courage I didn't even know I had."~Lilly
