Finding Redemption is a great action-packed, intense, emotional read full of intrigue, nail-biting suspense, drama, and sexy romance and includes a kickass, well-matched hero and heroine. It is a wonderful page-turner that does not disappoint.
Lisa Mallory’s life is in constant turmoil. She survived a horrible, loveless, abusive marriage to just end up in a worse hell. It is not bad enough that she is still dealing with some fall out from her wretched husband’s unsolved murder and trying to stay out of the limelight, but now her eight-year-old son has been kidnapped and her world has come to an end. She is to the point of having a breakdown, or worse, desperate to find her son. Her only support, her brother, steps in to help by way of insisting his best friend is the perfect man to get the job done. Even though Lisa does not agree with her brother’s choice of help, she will suffer anything to find her son and bring him home safe. Even the attitude of the rude, gruff, untouchable grizzly of a man that stirs unwanted desires.
Ethan Caine just wants to be left alone. As a former Marine/special ops agent, he has seen and done some horrific things and is suffering major guilt from a recent mission gone wrong. He is in his own personal hell and the last thing he wants is to be surrounded by his best friend, his team and his best friend’s annoying, stuck-up sister who looks at him like a bug under her shoe. All he wants is to wallow in whiskey and misery and make the world disappear. When his friend shows up with his sister and team in tow, he has no choice but to offer to help just to be left alone. However, things take an interesting turn when Lisa forces her way not only on the rescue op but into his dead heart.
This is a great romantic suspense full of action, humor, drama, and steamy romance as well as a few shocking revelations, intense emotions, and intriguing twists and turns. This is definitely a page-turner from start to finish.
I have always loved reading Desiree Holts books, her books have everything a reader wants in a book and this one didn’t disappoint! Lisa is dealing with a horrible, abusive marriage, her husband now dead and her son gets kidnapped. She turns to her brother for help and he enlists the help of Ethan who is also dealing with his own demons. This story had me from the first page and kept me there until the very end. It has action, suspense, nail biting drama and steamy romance, everything you want in a great book. I absolutely loved it!!
Finding Redemption by Desiree Holt is an outstanding romantic suspense. Ms. Holt has once more provided readers with a well-written story and a stellar cast of characters. Lisa married the wrong man. The only thing good from that marriage is her son. When Jamie is kidnapped Lisa is desperate for help. Ethan is ex-military, ex-Guardian Security and ex-black ops, now he just wants to be left alone. When Lisa’s brother and Ethan’s best friend arrives with Nick and Reno from Guardian Security, Ethan finally decides to listen. Ethan and Lisa’s story is loaded with drama, action, humor, steamy sex, and suspense. Finding Redemption captured me on page one and held me prisoner until the end. I loved reading Finding Redemption and can’t wait for my next book by Desiree Holt. Finding Redemption is book 5 of the Guardian Security Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
