My Thoughts
Rochelle lost her husband in an accident and their dreams. She is grieving and Dex is there for her when she really needs someone to lean on. The only problem is that she has feelings for him that she isn't ready to deal with. So a few years go by and there's Dex. Still there. Waiting for her. The feelings for him haven't gone away and she is still fighting the guilt of moving on with her life. Dex asks her to start over with him and she agrees. He begins to spend time with her and her boys. This man is delicious. Sexy with a sweet heart to boot.
The path for them isn't an easy one. Rochelle fights it pretty hard along the way. She at times was hurtful to him. There were a few times I wanted to give her a shake. I loved that Dex didn't give up. He knew that she was the one for him and waited out her indecision. I so wanted them to have their happily ever after. This book made me laugh, cry, and definitely swoon. I couldn't put it down until the very end.
I give The Redemption 4 hearts!

About the Book
He was everything she never wanted. Yet, she couldn’t stop
thinking about him.
Soulful, amber eyes
A sex, drugs, and rock n’roll reputation
A body that beckoned for sin
Three years ago Rochelle Floros was living her dream come
true… then lost it all. On the worst day of her life, the last person she
expected to be there for her was a rock star and tabloid favorite. Now, she’s
trying to rebuild her life after the tragedy that destroyed her fairytale.
Slowly, she found herself captivated by a sexy, bad boy drummer she had known
for years.
Rochelle was caught between the grief that shrouded her
heart and the charismatic man that made it race. What she didn’t know is if he
was being sincere or toying with her heart. The Redemption is about finding the
pulse of your soul in the most unlikely places and giving love a chance to
grow.
Can what she wants really be what she needs? With his rhythm
and her passion, can they make music together? Or will their harmony be lost
forever?

Excerpt
I pull my hand away slowly, leaving all the feelings we were
developing behind in
the palm of his hand. “The timing is wrong.”
“Bullshit!”
Startled, I jump in my seat.
Lowering his voice, he says, “That’s a cop out. I know you
feel something for me.
I see how you react because I also feel it when I’m around
you. There’s something here
and you’re just scared.”
“Scared of what?”
“Scared to have a life without Cory and thinking you have to
justify it to others.
The problem with that is that when you start justifying it,
it will make you feel like your
love for Cory was less. It wasn’t. It’s just different. He’s
not here, Rochelle.”
“Stop it. Stop talking about Cory and take me home.”
“Now you want to stop talking about him?” He looks
surprised. “I can’t win with
you when it comes to him.” He shifts the car into drive.
“This is not a competition, Dex.”
Disappointment slides onto his face. “Then why is he being
shoved in my face
every time we make a move?”
“This is one of the reasons why we won’t work. We see things
very differently.”
“One of the reasons? Name another because from where I sit,
we fit like two
puzzle pieces clicking together.”
“You’re a supposed recovering addict. You have sex with
anyone who offers.
“That’s it. Right there. You play like you know who I am,
but you don’t. That’s
why the lies are so easily believed. I can tell what you’re
doing. You’re giving me an out
that I don’t want. You’re allowing yourself to believe the
worst about me to ease your
conscience, but it won’t—”
“You know what? Not everything is about you and your past.
You lost a band
mate and friend, but I lost my soulmate!”
