A charming tale of love prevailing against all odds, The Bungalow Series: Surrender will entertain fans of romance and drama alike. Author Sarah Marten's smooth-sailing prose and salt of the earth characters find a way to pull at your heartstrings and make each page a delightful dish to relish. The narrative is well-paced and flows past like a gentle breeze. Sophie and Josh's relationship forms the bedrock of the story and provides the plot with its narrative thrust. There is a heartwarming quality to the characters and the rural town of New Haven, where the story is set, that makes Surrender the perfect book before a cozy nap. I had a wonderful time reading it. Recommended to readers who love romance and drama. - Reader's Favorite Review

The description of the setting and the interior aesthetics prompt visuals from a Nancy Meyers movie, which wonderfully establishes the tone of the book. I also like that the main love interest is younger than the protagonist. The tone of the piece is appropriate for women’s fiction. It is light but deals with serious themes. - The Book Pipeline Workshop
