Atop the rocky coast of Maine sits the Towers, a magnificent family mansion that is home to a legend of long-lost love, hidden emeralds -- and four sisters determined to save their home against all odds.

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts brings you the Calhoun Women --

Suzanna's Surrender -- Burned-out and tired as hell, all ex-cop Holt Bradford wanted to do was relax. But when beautiful single mom Suzanna invaded his solitude to search for the missing Calhoun emeralds, he couldn't say no. Holt had changed from a bad-boy teen to a dangerously sexy man, but Suzanna couldn't risk her well-ordered life for a man who made her mouth go dry . . .

Megan's Mate -- Calhoun sister-in-law Megan O'Riley and her young son had traveled far to become the Towers' newest residents. Cool as an Atlantic breeze, Megan buried her passions and vowed never to let her heart control her life. But when boat captain Nate Fury set his course for her, the practical lady was swept away by his formidable charm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable sequel and conclusion to The Calhouns, March 7, 2005

This review is from: The Calhouns: Suzanna And Megan: Suzanna's Surrender\Megan's Mate (The Calhoun Women) (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoy light romance mixed with some mystery/adventure and with well developed secondary characters. These last two stories of the 4 Calhoun sisters and their sister-in-law were very touching as both women, Suzanna and Megan, were single moms. Suzanna through divorce and Megan as a never married and left-in-the-lurch innocent. Suzanna particulary had a rough time trusting herself and her feelings after a very rough marriage and had so much concern for her sons that as a mom myself I could empathize. Megan was so young when she trusted innocently (here is another reason that abstinence before marriage is not a bad idea) and was so hurt and ignored by the father of her child.

The secondary characters of Dutch and Aunt Coco were lots of fun and you could feel how Dutch was nervous about the whole thing but couldn't fight it. And then you add in the mystery of the emeralds and Bianca and Christian's relationship and that was very touching as well.

I recommend it -- not as a heavy serious mystery but as a light, touchingly funny and sensitive set of stories.

This was a great conclusion to the series. Each book can stand on his own but Nora Robert threads the grandmother lost jewels throughout the series. It was great -- couldn't put the book it down!

This review is from: The Calhouns: Suzanna And Megan: Suzanna's Surrender\Megan's Mate (The Calhoun Women) (Mass Market Paperback)

Yes this is old Nora, but it is a great story. This was a reread for me and I enjoyed it the second time around very much.
This is the last 2 stories in the 5 that involve the Calhoun family.
In Suzanna's surrender you finally get the oldest sisters story. She had a rough marriage and an even harder divorce. She is raising two kids and working hard at her own gardening business. She gets involved with ex-cop Holt Bradford, who was also the local bad boy in his teens. This is a great love story. Also in this story you have the conclusion to the mystery surrounding the Calhoun's Great Grandmother's tragic death and the missing emeralds. You also get more details of the love affair between Christian and Bianca, in Christians words.
In Megan's Mate you have the story of Calhoun sister in law. This story takes place a year after Suzanna's so you get a nice follow up on the whole family. Megan is a single mother who has closed herself off to love... But then she meets Nate Fury and all her walls come crashing down.
This is a wonderful conclusion to the Calhoun Family saga. Two great stories.
