I Love Vic and Simon!
I read No Surrender with my eyes back in June 2022 and loved it. I loved it all over again when I listened to Kale Williams perform the audiobook. There really isn’t anything else I can say so I’m pasting a copy of my original review below:
OMG, Morgan Brice sure does like to put Vic and Simon – and a few other characters – through the wringer. Just when I thought things were finally going smoothly and they had everything figured out, she threw something else at them.
There are so many good things about this book it’s hard to know where to start. I loved all of the witty banter between the characters and especially between Vic and Simon. I also enjoyed the glimpses of characters from other books in the worlds created by Morgan Brice and her alter-ego Gail Z. Martin.
As I’ve said many times before, the books in this series really can be read as standalones because Ms. Brice gives you the background you need to know the characters. I didn’t read them in the exact order and never felt lost. I will admit though, it might be more fun to read them in order.
This book gripped me from beginning to end. It was at times terrifying when it looked like the bad guys might win, but it was also light-hearted enough in places to keep it from feeling too dark.
If you’re looking for hot and sexy you won’t really find it in this book, although Vic and Simon do get it on a few times. What you will get is lots of action, adventure, mystery and suspense, and a great cast of characters that I can’t wait to hear more from.

Morgan Brice is the romance pen name of bestselling author Gail Z. Martin. Morgan writes urban fantasy male/male paranormal romance, with plenty of action, adventure and supernatural thrills to go with the happily ever after. Gail writes epic fantasy and urban fantasy, and together with co-author hubby Larry N. Martin, steampunk and comedic horror, all of which have less romance, more explosions. Characters from her Gail books make frequent appearances in secondary roles in her Morgan books, and vice versa.
On the rare occasions Morgan isn’t writing, she’s either reading, cooking, or spoiling two very pampered dogs.
Series include Witchbane, Badlands, Treasure Trail, Kings of the Mountain and Fox Hollow. Watch for more in these series, plus new series coming soon!
