** I received a free copy of this novella in exchange for an honest review. **"Surrender" is the second novella in the "Paula's Place" trilogy. While this could be a stand alone, I highly recommend reading "Seduction" first.Jumping in right where "Seduction" ended, Paula has decided that she must see Max again. Entering his world she has to discover the rules of being a submissive while Max teaches her his rituals and what happens if she disobeys.What I found to be impressive is the story's simplicity. It only has two main characters, although the focal point is on only one (Paula). Her inner most thoughts read like a diary of emotion and cravings, while she experiences shame to overwhelming fulfillment. Max is strong and confident, just what Paula needs in her sexual exploration.There are definitely some sensual and steamy moments in Max's office that could make any one blush. The language is old fashioned and flowery with just a small touch of crudeness. Wood's ability to use more then 5 words in his description shows how masterful he is at writing erotica.
