Warning!!! Please do not read this review if you have not read book one, Surrendering.Sometimes you read a book and you love it, you talk about it and then you move on to another author and their book. But when you read a book and you can’t stop thinking about it, and you can’t wait to tell everyone how amazing it is and it is, books that will stay with you forever.Well let me tell you right now Ahren Sanders gave me a gift with her debut novel, Surrendering. The story is everything I want in a book. I adore books when the main characters become the center of my world and to top it off it has an ensemble cast of characters and you can connect with every one of them. I like when an author continues a series with other characters but I love it more when I get to know their stories right along with the main story. I can’t imagine it being easy writing so many differently personalities at once.Surviving is part two of Declan and Raven’s story. Surrendering left you with a big gasp moment and I could not wait to get my hands on Surviving. It begins where the first left off and I promise that you will get your answers pretty quickly. I was so scared to find out which way the story was going to go and the author really played it out in a way that caused me squirm in my seat in anticipation.I will say that part two of the story was just as fantastic and smoking hot as book one. The sexy hot tourage is back and in full force and provided me with more laugh out loud moments. It continued to be full of highly erotic sex that only Declan and Raven can do. WARNING!! Declan’s dirty mouth will still set you on fire! HAVE A FIREMAN ON SPEED DIAL! YOU CAN USE HIM TO PUT THE FIRE OUT OR IGNITE IT TO BURN MORE, IT IS UP TO YOU! I know what I would choose.I think what I loved most about the second part of this story besides Declan being naked is that it is not full of angst and crazy misunderstandings that cause riffs with this couple even though there are people that try to tear them apart. Declan and Raven, communicate with each other, they discuss the obstacles that can get in their way and how best to deal with them. Declan usually gets his way, he is super alpha when it comes to Raven and she can’t seem to say no to him. Declan can be very, very persuasive. Their lives are changing and growing and I love how they grow with it. You know the saying “There is no I in TEAM” that is what Declan, Raven and even their friends are, 100 % team. It is a pleasure watching the love grow stronger and the relationship maturing. That is what real life is about. Not everything is perfect all the time but everything can be made better or damn near perfect with communication, love and support. I loved how strongly they loved each other; it was very powerful.If you are a follower of my reviews and have liked what I have offered as great reads in the past then you will absolutely love Ahren Sander’s books. There were some amazingly beautiful moments in this story that had me grabbing for the tissues. I am so delighted that most of those tears were from happiness.  The story had the greatest of Happily Ever Afters and left me very satisfied but sad that it had to end.
