How do you move on when he’s every song you sing?

After Laurelyn Prescott walks away from the love of her life, she returns to Nashville to pursue the only dream she has left. Determined to find a distraction from the pain of losing Jack Henry, she immerses herself in her music. But with her old life comes old acquaintances and new expectations. When Laurelyn refuses her record producer’s outrageous demands, she finds herself without a career—until an unforeseen opportunity presents itself. From there it’s a rocket ride straight to the top where Laurelyn finds the success she’s always dreamed of. Will it be enough to bring her the happiness she so deserves, or will the absence of Jack Henry leave her wanting more?

Jack Henry McLachlan never expected to fall in love with Laurelyn Prescott—but he did. After he foolishly let her slip through his fingers, he spends three months searching for her, but their reunion doesn’t come easy. The woman he finds isn’t the same one who drifted away without a goodbye. No longer an insecure girl on an Australian adventure, this Laurelyn is a successful musician with a promising career. Her dreams are becoming a reality, and Jack is terrified his American girl won’t have a place for him in her new life.

With only a month to convince her otherwise, will it be enough time to make her visualize a life beyond the glitz and glamour, a life that includes him?

    4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this book

    I thought the book was good and listened to it on audio as well.
    The Australian accent was fake and not quite right (I'm an Aussie) but it didn't matter - it's a fiction book and he can talk any way he wants to

    I like Jake Henry in this story and I think that is what keeps me reading. I hate how much Australian slang is in this story, it is so over the top. I also don't like how the characters think something and then go and do it. It feels like you are reading the story twice.

    I thought this story might get better, but it isn't. There is nothing wrong with idea and intention of this story, and the characters are good, but the delivery is just so slow and laborious ... it is disappointing.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Narrativa sem fôlego
    Reviewed in Brazil on 29 June 2014

    Em "Beauty from Surrender", continuamos a acompanhar o romance entre Laurelyn e Jack Henry a partir do ponto onde "Beauty from Pain" terminou: com os dois separados. Neste livro, Jack envida vários esforços para localizar sua "american girl", enquanto Laurelyn tenta superar a dor da separação e concentra sua energia em sua carreira. Quando Jack encontra a garota, ela está se firmando como uma cantora de sucesso e não sabe se deve abrir mão de tudo - carreira, família, independência - para viver esse grande amor. Agora é o australiano que deve provar a ela que seu amor é verdadeiro.

    Georgia Cates é uma boa escritora, e Jack Henry e Laurelyn são ótimos personagens, mas nada disso consegue sobreviver quando a narrativa não tem fôlego. Georgia Cates exagera nas cenas de sexo para dar mais volume ao livro, mas isso não engana o leitor mais experiente, que percebe esse artifício como uma forma de camuflar um enredo curto. Se "Beauty from Surrender" tivesse 100 páginas a menos, seria perfeito, pois concentraria-se apenas na trama principal e as cenas mais picantes estariam lá apenas para cumprirem seu papel de apimentar a história.

    Há um terceiro livro na agulha para ser lançado - "Beauty from Love" - afinal é o que manda a cartilha de "50 tons de cinza", mas, para mim, "Beauty from Surrender" encerra a história de Jack Henry e Laurelyn. Poderia ter sido bem melhor, certamente, mas valeu a leitura pelos personagens.

    This was a beautiful love story. So romantic and the storyline was original and absolutely wonderful! I loved both Laurelyn and Jack Henry. The story had enough drama to make it gut-wrenching but not so much that it was annoying. I would love to see this story continue and am glad to see that there is a third part coming....can't wait!!!

    This is the sequel to Beauty from Pain, which I LOVED! Do NOT read the first paragraph or the rest of the review for that matter IF you have NOT read the first book, Beauty from Pain, as it would provide spoilers. But there are no spoilers for Beauty from Surrender, as there is nothing in this review that has not already been presented in the book description or 'snip-its' about the book.

    Laurelyn had told Jack that she loved him & he didn't say a word. So she walked away from Jack just as she had originally agreed to do three months prior, but she did it a day earlier than he expected. Jack realizes that he made a mistake not telling Laurelyn that he loves her too so he rushes home from work to pour out his heart and ask her to stay in Australia, but all that he finds is a goodbye note. Well that shouldn't be a problem, right? He can just hop a plane to America and bring her back...uh nope, because this is a major complication since one of his rules included real names are kept under wraps.

    This is where Beauty from Surrender picks up - right where Beauty from Pain ended...so in this continuation of their love story, Jack utilizes his connections and wealth to locate Laurelyn, but it is not an easy or quick task. When he finally finds her months later, she has finally started to be recognized as a talented artist in the music industry and is a rising star. Laurelyn's catapulting career was the only thing that provided her any happiness as she has been dealing with the excruciating heartache of losing Jack. Now that Jack has found her and professed his undying love, she must decide whether she is willing to give up the career she has worked so hard to achieve, move to Australia and take a chance with Jack, especially considering how their `non-relationship' relationship began.

    The plot and fundamental struggle in this sequel is more about Laurelyn making the decision whether or not to sacrifice her lifelong dreams for love without any guarantees of a happy ending. The characters are very well developed and I connected to their story. Both Laurelyn & Jack remain honest about their feelings without wavering and for the most part there are not other obstacles in their way besides Laurelyn's career. The writing is typical Georgia Cates as it engages the reader from beginning to end. So what will Laurelyn decide? No spoilers here. I will tell you there is a resolution and no cliffhanger...although the author has promised a third book, she recognized the fact that readers wanted a real ending and they were given one!

    Tout comme le premier tome, je me suis laissée portée par cette suite tout aussi délicieuse.
    Il reste cependant moins bon que le premier tome.
