REVIEW.....Term of Surrender by Becky Barker

Cassie was in love with Body, hands down in love, a love that never faded, even when she left him years ago. They had grown up in the same small town, the three of them, which included the rodeo hero Chuck Groves, who all those years ago she took off with and left Brody high and dry all this time thinking that he would never commit fully to her and make her his which includes a family someday. All this time Brody believes that Cassie betrayed him with Chuck, but even though they did try being together sexually, both Cassie and Chuck remained good friends and roommates this entire time on the circuit. So feeling the loss of Brody more than ever, she returns home to try and made amends and get Brody's heart and trust back. Cassy has asked Brody for a second chance and he gives it to her, but not without a few rules. These include basically just being there for sex and whatever else he needs. He makes her aware that this isn't a relationship and never will be, she can stay with him for his pleasure and under his rules. But Cassie is resourceful and knows that this is her penance and she is willing to do just about anything to get back into Brody's life again and make him lover her. What she doesn't know if that he never stopped. The interesting part about this book is that although it was a fast read, the emotional journey that Cassie and Brody work through is pretty basic, but of corse they make it difficult with jealousy, betrayal and the simple fact that now that they back in one another's lives neither wants to let go. What they do have to do is to let go of the past and learn forgiveness. Brody for Cassie leaving especially as he learns the real reason's for her departure. And for Cassie, she must let Brody work through his emotions on his own and learn to trust and love her again. Would I recommend...yes! It is a fun and juicy read that I know you will love!
