Raymond LaCasse had just completed his studies in Paris and was on his way home, to the French Caribbean island of Martinique, little did he know sharing a taxi with a beautiful stranger would change his life in ways he could have never imagined. His couldn’t get the beautiful woman out of his mind, long after she had collected her belongs and left the taxi they’d shared on the way to the airport. Who was this gorgeous woman? He wish the drive had been longer, so he could have spent a longer time in her company. He’d get his wish, but not in the way he’d imagined.
Gabrielle Descotte, a model by profession, had agreed to assist her brother in carrying out an illegal feat. She loved her brother dearly and would do anything for him, but when she met his intended target, Raymond LaCasse, she swiftly had a change of heart. She now had to choose, her brother or the man who occupies her every waking moment, to the exclusion of all else.
Divided by loyalties and bound by a desire that drives them into each other’s arms, Raymond and Gabrielle find themselves in a convoluted web of deceit and danger that almost destroy their new-found love and tear them apart….

    I rarely go into books like this but this one was an exception to the rule. It has been a long time since I enjoyed a romance story. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters and enjoyed reading about them. They felt very real to me and it's nice to have both of them pretty well rounded. I found myself deep into their lives and I didn't want the story to top. All in all, very good. Can't wait to read everything else the author has.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A steamy erotic read
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    The story begins with enough intrigue and tension to keep my interest. The heat and steam flying off the pages had me questioning "Is it the pages or is it me?" The right level of tension in the hands of a skilled writer as Ephraime, made this an enjoyable and sensual read until I got to the real reason for the coat switcharoo.

    The storyline with the naive Gabrielle and her adopted brother Pierre is weak and for this weakness I minus one star for credibility. I am just not buying that storyline.

    The LaCasse brothers Wolfe, Foxx and Raymond are fun and sexy characters I liked spending time with them. I was able to see the characters as portrayed.

    The location, Martinique added to the excitement as one always associate French men with high levels of testosterone.

    A romance set in the Carribean. Throw in suspence, drama and a touch of Creole and we have Ju Euphraime's new novel Complete Surrender. The sex scenes between Gabrielle and Raymond are written with such detail and passion the steam literally rises from the pages. If you like heat in your romance books then Complete Surrender is for you.

    2.0 out of 5 stars 1.5 stars
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016
    I was provided a copy of Complete Surrender in exchange for an honest review.

    To start with, this book is written in 3rd person; very rarely can I get into a book written from this point of view, much less enjoy it. This is also the case with Complete Surrender; there is a total disconnect between me and the characters in the 3rd person writing style.  Secondly, the book is extremely overly descriptive, and repetitive at times. I was also gifted with the actual copy currently available on amazon; unfortunately, I was surprised by the number of errors I found.

    I was told Complete Surrender can be read as a standalone, even though it’s the third in the LaCasse series.  I do not agree; there’s a huge amount of interaction with the two brothers, whom were the main characters from books 1 & 2, and even though I was given the backstory, I felt lost.  The brothers, and the family, are in more than half the book!  This is why I typically won’t start in the middle of a series. 

    The steamy love scenes were the only promising thing for me in the story.  With the rest of the book; I was ready for it to be over, and couldn’t get into it. 

    Unfortunately, I have to give Complete Surrender 1.5 stars, I really didn’t like it, but maybe if it wasn’t written in 3rd person, it could have been better....Sara

    Strangers meet when they shared a cab on their way to the airport and their coats were interchanged by accident. The heroine left her cell phone in her coat so she was willing to fly to Martinique, the hero's destination, to retrieve her coat. The attraction was obvious between them and they got together and spent time with each other for a week. This is a story of instantly falling in love, deceit, lies, intrigue, mystery and lots of steamy sex.

    Complete Surrender (LaCasse #3) by Ju Ephraime is a steaming hot romantic mystery full of desire, passion, mystery and danger set on Martinique. What more does a reader need, this book has everything and made me think of those exotic James Bond location scenes. am so hooked on this author's visual style.
    Raymond LaCasse meets his dream woman by pure chance in a taxi in Paris. Her beauty fills his soul with passion and lust. Then he meets her again on his home Caribbean island of Martinique. This must be destiny.
    Gabrielle Descotte, a model by profession, hides a dark secret from Raymond as their lust blossoms into love with some very hot sex. But her past caches up with her and danger tries to split them apart.
    Divided by loyalties and bound by a desire that drives them into each other’s arms, Raymond and Gabrielle find themselves in a convoluted web of deceit and danger that could destroy their new-found love.
    I loved this book and could not put it down. If you like steaming sex, gorgeous hunks, mysteries and Martinique then this heady cocktail of sexual desire will satisfy your needs. Very highly recommended.

    This is a great story which has everything you want in a mystery and steamy thriller. The engaging and likeable characters hook you in and from then on you are truly gripped. The descriptions are excellent also and I was totally immersed in the environments the characters were in. It’s well-written and a perfect, exotic book to escape these long, dark winter nights.
