Sinful Surrender (The Sinful Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Erika Wilde (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,516 ratings
A debt repaid . . . in the form of her surrender.

Rich and powerful, Maddux Wilder has built his empire with one thought in mind . . . exacting revenge against the man who killed his parents. But he never planned for his enemy’s daughter, Arabella Cole, to offer herself in exchange for her father’s debt. Innocent and captivating, Maddux can’t resist her allure, or the lust she stirs within him.

When Arabella sacrifices her life to save her father’s, she does so with the intention of hating the man who now owns her. But beneath Maddux’s gruff, boorish exterior she discovers a compelling man. One who makes her burn with need and awakens deep, forbidden desires she can’t deny. Soon she’s surrendering more than just her body to Maddux.

What starts as an act of vengeance becomes something far more consuming. Can this beauty tame the beast, or will revenge cost them both everything that matters most?

SINFUL SURRENDER is a seductive and modern take on Beauty and the Beast.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The premise is entertaining and engaging; the romance is unconventional, dramatic and intense; the characters are colorful, energetic, innocent and broken. TOTAL SURRENDER is a captivating tale of innocence, seduction and happily ever after." The Reading Cafe

"I would just say that I prefer this version of Beauty and The Beast by Erika Wilde so much more! She put an interesting and erotic spin to one of my all time favorite fairy tale in Total Surrender . And the end result was stunning and sensual." PPs Bookshelf

"All in all this was a freaking great read . . . and is so freaking good. There are some majorly steamy scenes between the two of the characters and I freaking adored all of it!" Ga Books LoverX

"Total Surrender is the whole package my friends. I enjoyed every moment you get with this "Yummy" rated version of Beauty and the Beast. You will have symptoms of: Blushing, Snort Laughing, Swooning, and Total Bliss. I have read a handful adult versions of fairy tales, but Total Surrender was the best I have read so far!" Crystal's Book World

"Loved this story!! Not only did it have beautifully written characters but the emotions that these characters have to go through feel so real that the reader cannot help but fall in love with them. Everyone wants a prince Charming - even if he is rough around the edges. A fabulous read!!" The Overflowing Bookcase

    5.0 out of 5 stars Colour me agreeably surprised!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2019

    Ah the lure of an attractive cover and an irresistible preorder price! Although I had read Ms. Wilde before, I should not have bought this book. The title: TOTAL SURRENDER; I dislike domineering alpha males in a story where BDSM is inescapable; fairy tale retellings leave me cold; I don't particularly care for revenge tropes. Pretty reckless of me, right? I expected a DNF early on due to my own stupidity. Yet, I kept on reading.

    While the writing did not induce a case of the vapours, it is very, very well written, and the editing is excellent. The story moved along well, and while the plot is far from original, the characters who, at first glance appear stereotypical are not; the execution is brilliant. Both Maddux Wilder and Arabella Cole surprised and delighted me all the way. He's definitely an alpha, forceful yet not abusive; he understands boundaries and respects them. He exudes charisma and, even if he's not my favourite type of hero, I really liked him and I would have succumbed to his charms as well. That is a tribute to Erika Wilde's superb characterisations. Arabella is a victim of circumstances but she is not a wimp; her motivations are logical, her decision is her own, and for once I could go along with her reasoning because if one is to be stuck in such an unsavoury situation, she could do much, much worse than Maddux. She's very philosophical about the whole thing.

    I was surprised that the romance was a slow burn and had none of the cringe-worthy moments I anticipated. The dialogues are excellent, and so are the inner monologues; they can be so tedious, which was not the case here; they're fun and provide insight into the characters' minds. Maddux is so not a dick even if he is a real dominant. E. L. James ought to read this book and see how it's done. There was some light BDSM, which I expected, so it did not bother me. Maddux and Arabella's chemistry is off the charts, and the sex scenes so well written, I did not even skim.

    I also liked the interactions between Maddux and his brother and sister, Hunter and Tempest. The characters are multidimensional and fun to watch, even the villains. TOTAL SURRENDER might be the best take on the Beauty and the Beast I have read in a contemporary romance. If you are a fan of everything the book description promises - unlike me, and I gave five stars - you will be ecstatic!

    Loved the Beauty and the Beast parallels, with the added edge and delicious smexiness. I enjoyed the drama and even the OTT, Gaston-like villain. Maddux and Bella are very likable characters. The well-crafted storytelling pulled me in and easily swept me away. I was totally celebrating their HEA. The audio book was great too. I usually prefer dual narration but she did a great job voicing all the different characters. I highly recommend this book and plan to read more of this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sinful Surrender aka Beauty and the Beast...Maddux & Arabella's Story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I like to read a good romantic story with erotic undertones, every once in a while. This is the story of Maddux Wilder, who had to take over taking care of his brother Hunter and sister Tempest when their parents were killed. We don't find out to the end of the story how their parents died, so as a good reviewer I will just leave you in suspense with that. Then there is Arabella Cole daughter of Theodore Cole who Maddux was seeking revenge on. The father was trying to push his young daughter together with his business partner, but she couldn't stand him, his name was Gavin. What happens is that Maddux and his siblings invited them to their Charity ball so that they could set a trap for Arabella's father and his business partner but in trying to set a trap for them his innocent daughter gets caught up in the trap. This book was really good. It was easy to read, and the hero and heroine have a happily ever after. I have another series I am reading by Erika Wilde that I am enjoying but I have to wait for another season to finish that series. I am definitely a fan of this author.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Sinful Surrender is the journey of the beast being tamed by the beauty. Maddux is a man bent on revenge. He is a man with a mission to destroy the people who killed his parents. Bella lives in a fairytale where she will find her Prince Charming and live happily ever after. Unfortunately Bella's father is one of those that Maddux is destroying.

    The characters are contrasting personalities. Maddux's exterior is very much alpha and gruff. He has hardened his heart to fuel his revenge. Bella is soft and forgiving. She sweeps into his heart and becomes what was missing.

    Together they are a hot couple. At first he uses sex as a threat. It is a power play for him, a way to control her. Quickly it becomes so much more when she wants him as much as he wants her.

    In this modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Maddux is a complicated character. He is calculating and laser focused on revenge. As we see though he is also fiercely loyal and honorable. Bella's spirit around him us so light, loving and freeing. She gives him the security to become the prince she needs.

    Maddux's brother and sister are well established as they are the subjects in the other books. I can't wait to read their stories. The Wilder siblings are an interesting group.

    This standalone story is full of romance and steam. It had me reading straight through. I mean a story with revenge, murder, kidnapping, hot sex, love and happily ever after, what's not to like.

    Maddux may have had revenge in store for the man that took away his parents. What he did not see coming was Arabella who offered herself up to atone for her father. Beauty and the Best just came into the twenty first century and it will change forever with this story version that draws you in and takes hold of your emotions. This grown up version is striking as it is empowering along with its descriptive story line and dynamic characters, you can
    t help but cheer Maddux and Arabella along the discovery of each other to a happily ever after.

Being the eldest Maddux devoted his life to care for his siblings, building his multi billion tec and security empire all the while plotting how to exact his revenge on the culprits responsible for their parents death ,his plan now complete is due to be put into action on the night of his charity ball. Theodore Cole has no idea why he’s been invited to the charity ball hosted by his enemy but never the less he goes with his sleazy partner in crime Gavin and his daughter Arabella. Eager to finally nail Theodore & Gavin both are escorted to Maddux’s office ,but Arabella has seen them going and heard part of a conversation that shocks her . Following at a safe distance behind when she reaches the office’s closed door she’s appalled at the allegations levelled at her father and even more so when she discovers how much money he owes in gambling debts . Her startled gasp earns her entry to the room there she makes a momentous offer to Maddux , to pay off some of the debt Maddux can her body as he sees fit naturally her father is furious at her offer and even more so when Maddux accepts her offer . ....... Of course for now Arabella only knows about her father and Gavins debt, and what happens when all the truth comes out of what nasty pieces work both her father and Gavin are and with all the goings on can we have a HEA to this beautiful tale ? ......

    Arabella is excited as she is attending the one event she has read about in the society pages for years, the annual Wilder charity event. But she’s accompanied by her father and the one man she wants nothing to do with, his colleague Gavin! Hoping to experience everything the event has to offer, Arabella sneaks away and is found by one Maddux Wilder, the event’s host. She never imagined in her wildest dreams that the evening would end the way it does😢

    Maddux has worked hard to be in a position to take revenge on the people who left him and his siblings essentially orphans. He’s now ready to do exactly that but Arabella throws a spanner into the works when she eavesdrops on their private conversation with Maddux. Offering herself to Maddux in exchange for letting her father go with the full realisation that Maddux requires her TOTAL SURRENDER😍

    A really great story along the lines of Beauty and the Beast with filthy undertones😂 Looking forward to Hunter’s story next❣️

    A fun twist on an age old tale. Maddox makes for a hot, brooding Dom and Bella is sweet and kind. I liked that the darkness balanced the light throughout the story. At times I found the writing a bit twee and felt like I was being told things and not shown things which isn't as effective for me.
