Review: Surrender the Dark was so much more than I expected

I expected it to be fun and a little intense. It was a lot intense and a little fun. Jarrett, the hero has closed himself off from feeling any emotions and from experiencing regular life. He lives for his job and his company. He doesn't have a life at all other than that. He has 2 best friends that get together about once a year and that's it.Rae, a former courier for Jarrett's company has dealt with a lot as well. Her mother died when she was four. She had no idea who her father was, so she bounced through the foster system. Once in college she meets with Jarrett in her counselor's office and knows that this is the job for her. She will be serving her country by delivering classified documents into war torn countries. When she is captured and held captive, Jarrett fears the worse, that she was compromised and left her there thinking she was a traitor. When she escapes and comes to headquarters, she feels betrayed. Everyone thought she sold out, when she was the one set up.Rae escapes and heals in her mountain home. She doesn't do relationships (friends or otherwise). I love how these two were constantly at battle with their inner selves. They wanted each other but didn't want to want any one. This is a very moving story. I will be reading the next book in the series to see if the author can keep this level of writing up. It was truly an amazingly written and thought out book. I truly loved it.
