A Surrendered Heart is book 3 of Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller’s Broadmoor Legacy series.  Since I had not read book 1 or 2, I wondered if I would be missing something with this story but the authors filled in the blanks very well.  I would probably enjoy reading those books in the future even though they would be out of chronological sequence for me.  I also wondered when I started reading this book if it would be like another Peterson/Miller collaboration I listened to on audio last summer.  In that story the characters never got a break – it just kept getting worse and worse with no good in between and none in sight for the entire story.  It was very frustrating.  This book did have that feel for a while as well but it came to a very satisfying conclusion and I loved all the characters and their interwoven lives.  The setting of the Thousand Islands was interesting to me too since I visited there as a child and remember it fondly.  The peek into high society and emerging independence for women was fun too.  The thing I most enjoyed was how the characters’ faith was an integral part of the story without being preachy.  All in all, I would say this was a very enjoyable read.
