“Point Surrender” is a very good novel. Anne Carter makes believers out of us in this book. Her mind must be filled with love, passion and intrigue and it was all brought out in this wonderful novel that she has written. I loved this novel and I would actually be thrilled to read it again. The story is so very heartfelt and passionate. I had tears throughout a lot of the book. I commend Anne Carter on an excellent novel and am looking forward to reading more of her books in the future.
