Summary
“I was in a relationship with two men, and neither were giving me up.”
That thought flashed through Charlotte’s brain like a bright neon light as she followed her husband out of her marriage counselor’s office. The office where she’d sat twice a week as she tried to repair the glaring problems in her marriage. The marriage that she’d fought hard to save to a man that wasn’t fighting alongside her. She’d been lied to, ignored, and used as a pawn to climb his ladder to success. Charlotte was broken, not just her marriage.
But, then she met Dr. Montgomery, and everything changed. They say love is patient and kind of course, but what happens when that love comes at the cost of everything? Love was a force that took no prisoners when it decided to strike and Charlotte had been hit - hard. By a man that wasn’t her husband. By the very man who was supposed to save her marriage.
Bittersweet Surrender is part one of the Bittersweet duet and must be listened to before Bittersweet Addiction.

What else could I give this??
Be warned that this book does have an extra martial affair, it says so on the Blurb. I pretty much know what to expect when I open up a book by this author, taboo, spicy and angsty. This has all those things in spades. This is a book that has in many ways changed me. It's changed my opinions on books with cheating (providing they're written as good as this) It's not going to be for everyone because it's supposed to make you uncomfortable, I think. But if you can handle the subject matter you won't regret it and I'm diving right in to book 2. I simply cannot get enough of this story or this authors writing. I volunteered to listen to a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Surrender
I loved the dual narration of Lacy Laurel and Alexander Neal. Both of them brings the characters and plot to life. Loved listening to them .
Wow this story has it all secrets, lies . disloyalty and hypocrisy .
Will and Charley story is not an easy one, but the chemistry is hot hot.
Carley cheats on her husband.. because shes miserable in her marriage. They meet Will when they go for their first Marriage Counselling session he’s their counsellor.
You have to listen ....

The voices of the narrators is absolute torture to listen to!
The woman when she reads the mans parts is pretty damn annoying but good Lord, when the man reads the woman’s lines, kill me now. Beyond annoying. I can’t even get past the awful narrators.

Bittersweet for sure
Well let me start by saying this story had a lot of drama now Matt was an ass for sure.Charlotte and William were wrong for how they started but, with all that said I felt bad for Will he fell in love with Charlie . I felt she was a major hippocratic she wants to have her cake and eat too, keep her husband around while stringing Will along only because she didn’t want to be alone. This was still a good story even though I was a bit annoyed with the MFC .

Holy Crap
Q.B. does not back down from telling hard truths and boy was Charley's truth a hard one. A husband who ignored her and his love language was "let me buy you this," but I don't have time for you. She agrees to marriage counseling and ends up in a triangle of sorts with her counselor and her husband. When it all comes out, Matt shows a side he's never shown before. He's lied and manipulated Charley and for what, ego? Was Charley and Will right, no but there's so much blame to go around it's crazy. I can't wait to see how it all ends up. I read and listened to the audiobook with Lacey Laurel and Alexander Neal narrating.

Unputdownable
✔️Angst
✔️Steamy
✔️ Forbidden
✔️ Secret Rendezvous
✔️ Fantastic Storytelling
I flew through the audiobook in one day it was that good! I loved how Lacy Laurel and Alexander Neal made the story come alive with their amazing vocals. I felt all the emotions while listening. Charlie is at her breaking point in her marriage. She's literally just arm candy for her husband. She's miserable until she meets Will who makes her feel alive again. I loved Charlie she's a great character and someone you couldn't help but root for her to find her way to the life she wanted and the man she needed. I adored Will. He was a sweet, loving and sexy man who wanted the best for Charlie. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!

Great narration and super captivating story
This book reminds me of those sexy yet taboo shows like The Affair, or Scandal. Lots of messy back and forth and forbidden type of things happening. I was so enveloped in all the happenings. I recommend if you want sexy things and non conventional love stories. There is a cliffhanger though so you will immediately need book 2! Great narrator, I love this narrator so much!

Buckle up for a messy, forbidden ride
Okay, hold onto your pants and let go of any preconceived notions, because Ms Tyler is taking us on a ride. A ride that consists of some major forbidden romance. Cheating (if that's not your jam, I understand). Marriage and relationship issues. Love triangle. And falling for the right person at the wrong time. This is forbidden romance and boy does it get messy, steamy and heated. I wasn’t exactly prepared since I didn’t read the blurb, but I dove in with complete QB Tyler trust and now I'm in the thick of it.
Charlotte and Matthew are in marriage counseling to try to fix a marriage that is beyond fixable. But Matthew doesn't see it that way. He's basically going through the motions with one hand on his phone, distracted with work, but he's convinced they are married and they are going to stay together. When one person wants to try to repair it and one person isn't willing to meet even half way, it isn't going to work. This is where Ms Tyler brought some real life flavor in and it was realistic. I could feel for Charlotte and the fact that she was honestly trying. Buuuutttt....as we see right at the beginning, their marriage counselor, Will plays a much bigger part in their story than I first imagined. Then, BAM....it's the Charley and Will show! Lies, deception, and falling in love.
I will be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of cheating, especially in real life, but this is fiction and gimme the drama mama. IF there is a reason for the cheating and the story behind it is legit, I'm game to be entertained. And boy did Q.B Tyler entertain me and give me lots of cheating. There were no ifs ands or buts about it. It was cheating, but I could feel the connection between Will and Charley and I only wanted to kick Matthew to the curb. He did not deserve Charlotte. But at the same time, I was getting a bit frustrated with Charley as a character. She was whiney and annoying at times and honestly Will seemed overly possessive when he had no right to be. How could these two work when they started all wrong?
I'm in the thick of this story (as their story doesn't end with this book) and I gotta say, I'm curious where the next book is gonna take us after where we left off in the first book of this duet. It's messy, it's dang steamy and there's a lot of baggage to go through, but I'm here for more. Lacy Laurel as the narrator was amazing as Charlotte and telling us HER story. The way her voice brought in the emotions of a woman that had known only one sort of love but knew she deserved more was spot on. She brought her A-game and I can't wait to hear more from her. But please give us more of Alexander Neal as Will. I need more of him and all their flawed, messed up love story from both POVs!

Lacy Laurel’s narration truly brought this story to life!
I loved listening to the book! Lacy Laurel did such an amazing job bringing this story to life!
The story however didn’t do it for me quite as much. I just didn’t like or connect to the characters, and had a hard time with their choices.
I think this was more of a me issue though and not an issue with the story itself. So if you like a steamy forbidden romance you should definitely check this audio book out!!

Bittersweet Perfection!!
Bittersweet Surrender shocked me in all the ways. This was a book I picked up blurb unread so imagine my surprise discovering it was a love triangle. Now listen love triangles are not my thing, in fact I usually will run the other way. But, wowzers, when I tell you QB Tyler had me riveted.
This baby was chock full of emotion and angst. I felt as emotionally wrung out as Charley. It can’t be easy to experience the greatest love of your life at the worst possible time. Married, her heart should be with her husband but things between them are broken and have been for a long time with little hope of mending. Never did Charley imagine she’d find her heart captured by the very last man she should be with; her marriage counselor. But, love knows no bounds, it is messy, it is irrefutable, it is inconvenient, it is impossible to deny the heart what it wants and QB made sure I felt it all. Charley’s internal struggles and conflicting feelings between Dr. Montgomery and her husband was powerfully tangible. Oh my and that spice, QB ma’am, the spice was freaking im-pecc-able!
Bittersweet Surrender was a compelling, passionate, tempestuous tale that had me in its chokehold from beginning to end.
Lacy Laurel made for the perfect Charley. Her and Alexander Neal’s narration truly just embodied the essence of this beautiful love story. This is book one of a duet so expect to have your heart in your throat until you pick up book two.
