Emilie Sjoberg is haunted by her past. As the manager of a Las Vegas sex club she’s no stranger to bindings, but she can’t shake the dreams that hold her down. Unable to put together the details of what happened, she’s determined to find out —no matter the cost.Darryl “Chains” Carruthers never looked back after he left the elite British intelligence agency, MI6, because of a brutally failed … failed mission. Currently the head of security at a sex club, he’s slowly rebuilding his life.
When his beautiful but mysterious boss disappears, Chains must revisit his own troubling past to find her because the past hasn’t forgotten about either of them. As their feelings start to twist into something stronger than ever expected, they prepare to face it together. Chains will do anything to offer Emilie the redemption she desperately seeks and she’s finally found the only Chains she’ll ever need…but the cost of their picture-perfect future may be too high.
Author’s Note: This series is somewhat darker than my other books. Although they are all HEA’s, there are elements of BDSM, ménage, hate crimes, vigilante justice and LGBTQ relationships throughout the series. If you’re concerned about trigger warnings, this may not be the series for you.

I was truly anticipating Emilie and Chain’s story, as we have gotten sneak peeks of these characters from the previous books in this series, and Kat Mizera did not disappoint!
Emilie is a lost soul. Recently divorced from her childhood friend, Emilie is being tormented by guilt from an event in her past. Deciding she finally must face the truth and consequences of her actions she flees from her home in Vegas to seek answers. The only thing currently helping to keep her from herself completely to her guilt is seeking out the pain and humiliation of unhealthy BDSM acts that cause her to focus on something else for a brief time.
Darryl “Chains” Carruthers is also running from his past. A former operative for MI6, Chains has cut himself off from friends and family in the hopes that they cannot be used against him should a past mission come back to haunt him. When friends ask him to find Emilie and bring her home, however, Chains agrees and soon finds himself more invested in the lovely Emilie than he ever thought was possible.
Kat Mizera wrote a beautiful story about two people afraid to build a future because of events in their past. While they had been co-workers in Vegas, neither truly saw the other as more than someone they worked with. Once placed in different circumstances, however, their chemistry explodes. Emilie makes Chains yearn for a future he never imagined, and Chains is the rock that can ground Emilie in ways that no one else has ever been able to do.
Of course, love is never easy, and the past never truly stays in the past. Redemption’s Inferno is a fast-based plot that has multiple unexpected twists and turns. It was great to catch up with Dante /Becca and Viggo/Jamie from books one and two. I love how their lives are intertwined and each book in the series feels like a natural progression in the story arc. As with all books in the series, Kat Mizera also tackles societal norms and expectations in beautiful ways. Jamie and Viggo fans will love the twist in this book that forever twines these couples together.

This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading the other book in this series.
I haven’t read the other books in this series, but the story was easy enough to follow. The background in the previous book is explained in this book. I really liked Chains, he was a great character and I loved his relationship with his mother. Those scene’s were very sweet and funny. I love how the book shows a non traditional family and that you can make your own family. It is not all about blood. It was fast paced story and had a lot of action, suspense and funny moments.
I have come to love this entire group of people that Kat Mizera has created in the Inferno Series! I feel like they are friends, their struggles are real, their stories are beautiful and the redemption they find in each other is soul warming. Kat opens your mind and breaks the rules and boundaries of love.
Emilie’s darkness has taken over her very soul, only when Chain’s come to her rescue does she truly feel healed. The bond they form lies deep and she must also help Chain’s with the darkness that he carries from his past.
Don’t worry you still get Jamie and Viggo… These four Adults form a beautiful bond and unbreakable family.
