This book was ... Ok. It seemed a bit like a knock-off the aviary gate, with more inside the harem scenes. It began so well, but I found that there wasn't enough substance. The "love scenes" were raunchy with too much description, and the characters needed to be more realistic. I found it a bit confusing. Sorry. ( )

THE SURRENDER OF A LADY by Tiffany Clare is a historical romance set in 1841 Constantinople and Greece. It is well written with details, depth, fast paced, and a page turner.It has passion,betrayal, deceit,a harem, slave trade, sensuality,romance, lust, love, determination, lost love and the coming together of that long ago lost love. The heroine, Elena, beautiful, married to a gambler, has a infant, sold into slavery by her husband for his gambling debts, determined to survive the and save her infant son.

He tries to negotiate with prince to buy her and her son, but to no avail. The prince, gets her back and refuses to negotiate with Griffin, but Griffin refuses to give up on Jinan. I would recommend this book especially if you enjoy passion, sensuality, love, destiny, and submitting to your deepest desires. This book was received for review from the publisher and details can be found at St. Martin's Paperbacks and My Book Addiction and More. ( )

What a Debut!
I won't go into the plot itself. It’s been done by the reviewers before me. I just had to add my 2 cents (or in this case 5 stars) in. I bought this book on a whim while getting Benadryl for my poor husband, while out of state celebrating our 10th Anniversary. Suffice it to say, he zonked out, and I spent the night reading the book.
WOW!!! The book was a pure pleasure to read! Tiffany Clare has a way with words and her debut book is a welcome relief from recent releases of veteran authors (which I will not name here) that do not deserve to have a word “novel” or "historical" in their genre description. Add to that the fact that it is superbly written and you have a “superior historical romance novel”.
The dialogue, deep love and obsession which are admitted by our Hero, Marquess of Rothburn, for Elena Ravenscliffe will blow you away as it is written in such a way that you can FEEL it coming of those pages! The Surrender of a Lady is an all consuming tale filled with intrigue, suspense, and gives us an insight into the human psyche of not just the Hero and Heroine, but the secondary characters as well. This was not your average love story. There are no Virgins here. This love story is for grown-ups. This is about love that survives years of separation and heartbreak. The romance and the sex scenes are exquisitely written, and the secondary characters are very memorable personalities. I especially loved Earl of Asbury and cannot wait for his story.
This is one historical romance that is a must read!
I couldn't put this book down. It left me turning page after page, just wanting to see what happens next and how it ends. This is defiantly a keeper! ( )
