Since the Surrender is book three in the Pennyroyal Green series by Julie Anne Long. Captain Chase Eversea has returned to London after being banished from Sussex. He receives a mysterious message from an unknown sender. Soon after, we find out it's from Rosalind March, a woman from his past. Rosalind's sister is missing, and she needs Chase's help to find her. Together, they embark on a journey to solve this mystery, finding old sparks reignited.

This story is fantastic and has really great characters. Julie is amazing at writing character descriptions. For example, Chase observes a woman from behind and is able to recognize her as Rosalind just by the subtle way she tilts her head and rolls her shoulder, showing Chase's military background and enhanced observational skills. It’s tiny details like this that make this book stand out!

A pleasant surprise was how much I enjoyed the street urchin Liam! He has completely captured my heart. Liam is incredibly clever and so lovable. His interactions with Chase and Rosalind are endearing.

The mystery adds an intriguing element to this romance, and I really enjoyed it!
