I count it fortunate that I read Karyn Monk's later books (Once A Warrior and The Witch & the Warrior)before I read Surrender to a Stranger. If I hadn't I would never have read any of her other books. This story was so lame. First I couldn't stand the "heroine". She was selfish and stupid. She is bent on revenge even if it means leaving her only two younger sisters alone. Then when she thinks she has her revenge she doesn't even make sure it is complete. The hero falls in love with her and I can't figure out why. He is like the Scarlet Pimpernel in saving people from the guillotine. His only shortcoming seems to be falling in love with selfish and absurdly stupid women. I read this with hope it would get better but it never does. I think I am being overly generous in giving it two stars. But if hadn't had some interest I wouldn't have been able to read it through. If only to see what really stupid thing she would do next.
