Another great story by one of my favorite authors. Perfect blend of suspense, romance, action, and steamy moments. This spin off series is one of my favorites. The characters are interesting. Jay and Ellie are one of my favorite couples. This can be read as a standalone as well. I'm really excited for a couple of the other characters to get there own stories, Vadim and Cody are intriguing.

Ellie has a hard time trusting, she is the assistant to a billionaire who owns a casino in Vegas. Ellie had a rough life but now her past is about to bite her in the butt. She lives with her boyfriend Jay, who always works at the same casino. Jay was in the military turned now is security for the billionaire they both work for. He comes home early and finds a note from Ellie. She’s leaving and doesn’t want him to look for her. Jay loves her too much to let her go without a fight. The only way the relationship will work is for her to trust him.

I loved this story and first time I am reading it. Sex, suspense, and crazy ex. I couldn’t put it down.

I love Katie Reus's books. This one was no exception. Ellie was very happy with Jay, but when her past threatens her happiness, she panics and makes some very poor decisions - one after another. Thankfully both her boss and boyfriend are quite intelligent and follow her to see what is happening. The story's main characters have great chemistry and the sex is off the charts. The writing was very intrigueing and kept me glued to my book. Another good story with a great ending. I got this book from NetGalley for an honest review

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Wow, what an action packed-thrill filled-emotional roller coaster of a book! When Ellie realizes that her past has caught up with her, she runs. Good thing for her that her boyfriend, Jay, doesn't let her!

Together with the Serafina gang, they figure out a way to keep her safe and get her out of the mess that an ex-boyfriend has placed her. I have not read the other books in this series and it is not necessary to this story as it can be read as a stand alone, but I love when you read a series and the characters are woven throughout the series so you can "keep up" with them especially if they are likeable!

Pretty steamy romance and it was hard to put this down with non-stop action.

Ellie has a troubled past that she has kept hidden and now it has come back to haunt her, the only way that she can keep the people she loves safe is to run. Jay gets home to find a letter from Ellie telling him not to find her but something is not right and he sets out to find her. There love is so strong that there is no way that she is putting him in danger even though it kills her to walk away from him. Omg this book is amazing and I felt so many emotions while reading it. Katie is an amazing author and talented writer and I definitely recommend you read this book and others by her and you will definitely not be disappointed.

This book was cute. The relationship between Jay and Ellie is straightforward and from the beginning you can tell that Jay and his friends are not going to let anything happen to Ellie. The only thing I would have preferred with this story was there to be more tension and more turmoil with her ex Kevin and De Luca. Everything seemed to come quickly together and the problems were quickly addressed and taken care of. I will continue with the rest of the Sin City Series.

Thank you to netgalley and Katie Reus for allowing me to read this for my honest review.

This is one of those romance suspense books that will have readers yelling at the female characters. She falls into the stupid female roll of horror movies and dies. The only difference is she doesn't die.

The story is short, moves quickly and lots of sex scenes for how short the pages are.

The basic story is a great idea but focus on sex instead of what could be a action packed story.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of Katie Reus Sensual Surrender.

A truly sensual story written by one of the best. Ellie has a past that has just caught up with her. When she is asked to help arrange a robbery at the Hotel Serafina, her place of employment, she knows that she must leave to safeguard her lover and friends. When Jay, the man she lives with and loves, finds out that she has left, he and the security team manage to track her and save her from a vicious attack. She confides harmful facts about her past hoping that Jay can forgive her. The entire group will join in, devise a plan to foil the robbery and keep Ellie safe. A wonderful and sexy series with strong and honorable characters who know how to take care of each other. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

Ellie knows her past has caught up with her when her ex calls her and threatens her and everyone she loves. Jay Wentworth is a ex Navy Seal and alpha to the core. He will protect Ellie with everything in him. The backdrop of Las Vegas is the perfect setting for this fast paced romantic suspense. You don’t threaten anyone in the Sarafina family because you will regret it. Katie Reus always writes great romantic suspense, full of action to keep the pages turning.

This is Book #2 in the Serafina: Sin City Series and the story of Jay and Ellie. Katie Reus is a master story teller when it comes to military romantic suspense! If you're looking for a read that will keep you up at night and keep you turning the pages until you've finished the book in one sitting, then pick up any book written by this very talented author. Exciting, intriguing, mysterious, fast-paced, suspenseful and sexy -- everything I look for and enjoy in this author's books. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

This is a re-issue. Never read it the first time, so I don't know if anything is new or different.

Jay and Ellie have been together for a year and after him almost being killed in a bombing he's finally feeling it's the right time to propose.

She is the happiest she's ever been, she has a great life, a great job and the best man who doesn't push for more. She's scared to get to comfortable though because every time she does something happens and she loses her happiness. But today feels different she is going to make him breakfast before his long day, except she doesn't have eggs so she runs next door to borrow some from her neighbor and when she returns by the look on Jay's face their will be no making breakfast she knows that look and what it means.

After a yummy distraction when she's getting ready for work she gets a call that does exactly what she was afraid of and erases that happiness. Will Ellie panic and leave or will she trust the man she loves with her darkest secrets and her less than desirable past. You'll have to read to find out. It will be totally worth the read.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is book 2 of the Serafina Sin City series by this talented author.
This one belongs to Ellie and Jay. Ellie is the PA for successful millionaire Wyatt Christensen and Jay is his lead bodyguard.
They have been together for a year and are totally in love. Jay is ready to propose , when he gets home to find a goodbye letter from Ellie. Ellie has left him and her job because someone from her past is after her and will harm anyone close to her. She refuses to have them hurt.
But when her boss and Jay have her followed and rescue her in her first attempt to solve her problems, they discover her secrets. Needless to say, Jay was NOT a happy camper.
It’s a story filled with intrigue, bad guys, hunky good guys, sex and romance.
A good story in this sexy series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
