A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare
4.0
"I'm not going to accept your challenge. There will be no duel."
"Why not? Because I'm a woman?"
"No, because I've seen the way you spinsters handle a pistol. You'd shoot me dead where I stood."
4.5 stars. I really enjoyed the division between men and women trying to maintain control over Spindle Cove and renaming the places to suit their agenda, and competing skills/militias. I think because it was a series starter, Tessa likely wanted to introduce other characters but I didn't really need the perspectives of Minerva and Colin since I read their book a while back.
Bram definitely had some dated alpha male views, but I think he and Susanna were well-matched because she could challenge him, and I really liked how the two of them understood each other and their scars - the ones that were visible and the ones that weren't.
Also, Dinner was a great character!
