Her Surrender (Fire and Ice Book 1)
By Tara Conrad
Natalie
I’m shattered.
Lies and betrayal my only company.
Until an invitation to an underground club.
Until I meet him.
Until I’m drowning in the sea of emotion he unleashes.
Until he crosses a line that shreds me to pieces.
Alex
I’m obsessed.
Her innocence.
Her bewitching beauty.
Her trust.
Her surrender sparks an inferno of desire that leads me straight to the gates of hell.
All lost the moment I listen to my head, instead of my heart.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cover Art: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In Her Surrender, Tara Conrad spins a raw and emotionally rich romance centered on Natalie, a woman reeling from betrayal after walking into a shocking scene with her ex, and Alex, a seasoned Dom who’s set boundaries around attachment. Their worlds collide at Fire and Ice, a BDSM club, and what begins as a cautious agreement — a relationship with an “expiration date” — quickly becomes far more complicated as they both grapple with past traumas and trust issues.
Conrad’s strength lies in how she balances the sensual with the emotional. Natalie’s journey of self-discovery is handled with sensitivity — she’s not just exploring the lifestyle, but also finding her voice after loss.
Alex, meanwhile, is more than a dominant figure: his patience, protectiveness, and capacity for vulnerability make him feel real, not a stereotype. The book’s pacing combines intimate, tender moments with bigger life challenges — and when tragedy hits Natalie's family, it tests the foundation of their relationship in powerful ways.
Some readers do note that the story can feel emotionally heavy and the themes of loss, family, and power dynamics throughout aren’t always
That said, for anyone drawn to contemporary romance with deep emotional stakes, BDSM elements, and a journey of healing, Her Surrender is a very satisfying and immersive read.
