When my teenage student walked into my classroom, slammed a copy of this book on the desk, and announced, in audible capital letters, “THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN,” I knew Anna and the French Kiss was something special.

Narrated by Kaleo Griffith When I read Surrender upon its release in 2006, I not only graded it an A+, I added hero Iain Mackinnon to the top of my favorite heroes list and I mean the very top. When I started wishing for Pamela Clare in audio format back in 2009 during my first…
