I've never been into Victorian romances, but I've read all of Maddie Taylor's contemporary romances and LOVED them, so I gave this book a shot.  I'm so very glad that I did because Surrender Your Grace drew me in from the beginning and I could not put it down!  I loved Andrew and Ceci and how they grew to love one another even though they were forced into marriage.  Andrew was everything I love in a hero...stern, dominant and protective, while still being very loving and passionate.  This book also had a lot of humor in it and I enjoyed that as well. I was also very pleasantly surprised that the spanking scenes, some of which employed the use of a birch and a cane, were not overly harsh.  I've always thought of those implements as very severe and border-line cruel, so I was astonished to find that the scenes using those implements in this book were actually very sensual and arousing, even though they were used as punishment.  Let's just say I've changed my opinion of the use of the birch and the cane after reading this book!!!I'm hoping that the author, Maddie Taylor, will decide to write a story for Maggie and Duncan, who are secondary characters in the book.  At any rate, I will definitely continue to put Maddie Taylor at the top of my must buy list!!!
