Sweet Surrender

De: Bella Matthews

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Samantha Brentmoor

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an enemies to lovers, surprise pregnancy, sports romance.

Hating Jameson Murphy is easy.

Wanting him is where everything gets complicated.

He’s my best friend’s older brother.

My father’s star player.

A charmingly infuriating football god I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding and failing to ignore.

He should be the last man tempting me into bad decisions. But when a snowstorm grounds our flight, and champagne blurs our judgment, one reckless night shatters every rule I’ve put in place . . . leaving me with two little pink lines and one very big problem.

Now, thanks to an unreliable mother, a surprise baby sister, and a new living arrangement I never saw coming, my carefully crafted life is unraveling faster than the worn satin ribbon on my favorite old pointe shoes.

And Jameson?

He’s everywhere.

In my space.

In my secrets.

Looking at me like he already knows how this ends and how it doesn’t.

Forcing me to face a truth I’m not ready to accept . . .

What if surrender doesn’t mean losing yourself?

What if it’s about trusting someone else?

And maybe . . . just maybe, what if it means finally finding home?

* This is narrated in DUET narration *

absolutely loved them!

Once again Bella gives us a story that feels like coming home! I read this in one sitting and could not get enough of Jamie & Ashton! Ashton’s world is literally turned upside down after a call to come home and let’s just say nothing about her trip getting there was as planned. After that steamy night with Jamie, stuck in a hotel after a cancelled flight, Ashton just wants to forget it happened. But their attraction (and a little hate) has been simmering for years. Jamie is so patient, caring, and willing to do anything to show her how much he cares and wants her in his life.

I knew I loved this book when I read it, but listening to Samantha Brentmoor & Jason Clarke perform this in duet was everything I needed. They were phenomenal as Ashton & Jamie and I couldn’t stop listening!

What to expect:
🏈 sports romance
🎀 single guardian
🏈 best friend’s brother
🎀 frenemies to lovers
🏈 accidental pregnancy
🎀 it’s always been you
🏈 snowed in w/ one bed
🎀 one night stand

Sweet Narration

Another rewarding trip back to Kroydon Hills. It’s seriously like a pleasant family reunion with every new book and I absolutely love it. Yes, it is part of big beautiful world that I highly recommend reading but it also stands alone.

I usually talk about tropes to hype a book but they are sometimes spoilers. Go in blind and just trust that Bella Matthews delivers.

Jaime. Jaime. Jaime. I wasn’t sure I would love you but oh my goodness do I. My sweet ginger giant. This story was everything that I wanted and so much that I didn’t even know that I needed… banter, declarations, twists and HEA’s, oh my!

I loved this book so much I had to experience it again when it came out on audio and I think I like it even more now! The narration for this one was excellent! Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke were their usual amazing selves with this performance. Her ease of delivery and range of emotions and his growly dirty talk and soft spoken endearments made the story come alive. This combination of author and narrators is an easy 5 star recommendation!

Now I just have to wait a little over 2 weeks to get my eyes on Ryker!

My automatic buy!

When it comes to Bella Mathew books there’s no question if I’m going to read or listen then re-read/relisten. She quickly become one of my favorite authors and her story’s have become my most listened in 2025. When I need a good comfort read Krodyn Hills is where I want to be.
Idk what she puts in them but everyone single book gets better.
Love that she has chosen to make this series a duet. Like many I feel that it elevates the experience.

Bella knows how to make you feel the story and fall in love with all the characters. Hence why these characters have a special place in the readers/fans hearts.

ASHTON && JAMIE

Another Bella book I absolutely devoured!
Loved every minute of this book.

Samantha Brentmoor && Jason Clarke did absolutely phenomenal in this duet! I love Bella’s books, but sometimes books really are even that much better in audio 🎧

Ashton & Jamie’s story was wrote so well!
From their backstory to how they came back together, I loved it all!

I love Ashton’s character. She is strong and wants to help in anyway she can. She needs help herself while healing though and she gets that help from her best friend.
Although taking the help puts her way closer to a man she has been avoiding for years.

Jamie is such a golden retriever and is also so swoon worthy with how he is with children.
So when the two pink lines come up after a one night stand, she already knows the kind of dad he’s going to be!

I love the Kroyden Hills family and coming back for their stories! It just keeps growing!

Such an addicting book and amazing characters💙

Sweet Surrender - Bella Matthews - ALC [18+]
4.7/5✨
3/5🌶️

Did Ashton ever think that she would end up in the same bed as one of her enemies? Never! But there she was, because of a snow storm, she had no other choice but to stay in the same room with her enemy, Jameson 'Jamie' Murphy, having an awkward one bed situation. One thing led to another and they ended up sharing a super steamy one night stand together, but that didn't fix anything between them. That wasn't the worst thing that was happening to Ashton, because she would be soon surprised by more events, which will for sure change everything in her life.

Did you say enemies? Then I'm going to be captivated by the story! This one did not let me down, I truly enjoyed the incredible tension between Ashton and Jamie. They were constantly bickering, but you could clearly see that there was so much more beneath that facade, something which kept on piling up for such a long time and everything was like a ticking bomb, prepared to detonate at any time. All those plot twists were really captivating, especially those insane scenes that happened in the end of the story. I liked the fact that Jamie was such a sweetheart, even if his demeanor was screaming brutal and imposing.

Listening to this book made me remember how much fun this one was, laughing so much in the first part of this story. Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke were amazing, offering these characters the right emotion and personality. I adored how Jason portrayed Jamie, giving him those broody vibes and how Samantha was perfect for Ashton's fragility and softness. An extraordinary duet that made it hard for me to stop listening to it.

Another beautiful and super cute story by Bella! I adoored how addicted Jamie was to Ashton and how hard he fell for her. Their situation wasn't easy at all, but their love was stronger and that was so heartwarming.

Thank youuu sooo much, Bella and her wonderful team for providing me with this ALC!🩵 I adooore being part of this awesome content team💖.
