The Best Yet!!!
I am sad that this is the final book in the McKenzie Ridge series because these books are so good. The upside is that I am sure that there are greater reads on the horizon from this very talented author. She brought a quiet, sleepy, little, town into our lives and made it come to life with characters that became part of a large quirky family. From all walks of life, with mysterious and troubled pasts, the townspeople of McKenzie Ridge come together to support one another each and every time they need it.
I absolutely love this entire series but with Blake and Jessie, their story was the unknown. The author did this one proud! She finalized this series with a bang! The entire cast was included in one way or another giving each one a final bow. I loved how each couple went on to have multiple children and were able to go beyond their Happily Ever After. Finding out that Blake had a tough life to endure, he definitely deserved to find his happiness. Jessie also had a past that would forever change a person so having Blake in her life made all the difference.
This might be the last book in this fabulous series, but it certainly didn’t lack for action, dangerous fires, and a whole lot of hot stuff! It made me laugh and it made me cry with page after page of humor, angst and frustration. The twist and turns of Blake and Jessie’s unique relationship have you dedicated to reading this story in one sitting. The “who done it” part is definitely unexpected and well written with the conclusion very satisfying.
I love how these characters all come together with such fierce love, loyalty and camaraderie together in this book as well as this entire series. I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next! Excellent job!
I was sad when I realized that this was the last book in the McKenzie Ridge Series. I have grown to love McKenzie Ridge and the people that live there. The final book is Jesse and Blake’s story and as always Ms. St. Klaire doesn’t disappoint. Love Blake and Jesse together. Although she fought their relationship in the beginning he never gave up on her and in the end they were perfect together. This author always hits the spot for my rom/com needs and I look forward to reading her next book. This series is one of my favorites and I highly recommend this book and the whole McKenzie Ridge series to everyone.
I don’t know which of the books in this series is my favorite and I really liked this story. I just didn’t love it like the others. The one thing that was nagging me was the constant bickering back and forth between the two characters and how Jessie would be nice one minute and then not the next. I don’t know why it bothered me. Otherwise, it was a good story and I do recommend reading them in order.
Absolutely the best McKenzie Ridge story!! I loved reading Blake & Jessie’s story, hearing about their pasts and what they both lost and suffered through was heartbreaking. All the plot twists were amazing, still baffled by the fact that Logan was responsible for most of what happened in the present. It kind of felt like he stabbed Blake in the back, but I can also understand the turmoil he went through growing up. Beyond thrilled that Blake and Jessie were able to have children after all that she endured from Jason. Enough spoilers, definitely a book you need to read!! If I could give it more than 5 stars I definitely would. I’m sad this was the last book in the McKenzie series, but I’m sure we will be able to find out how the “McKenzie Family” is doing from time to time or at least I hope so! Stephanie you truly knocked this one out of the park!!
This was the perfect finale for the McKenzie Ridge series. Jessie and Blake will keep you reading. You won’t want to put it down. I love all the characters and the interaction within all the books of the series. You will laugh, cry, love, hate, and everything in between.
Like with any series I love, I’m sad to see it end but it was a great ending! Blake and Jessie did not disappoint! There’s still lots of action, mystery, and romance. All the McKenzie Ridge novels can be read as stand alones but for Redemption, I strongly suggest reading the entire series first. You are able to see the evolution of Blake and Jessie’s relationship and can appreciate this book better. You won’ be disappointed! I can’t wait to see what’s next for Stephanie St. Klaire.
Oh my gosh! We learned so much in this book about Blake and Jessie! I love them even MORE. Jessie was always my favorite. Lots of danger, angst, sassyness, and love. And the twist at the end WOW! So sad to see the series end. But, what an amazing way to go! Thank you Stephanie for your amazing talent!
OMG! Just finished. What an amazing end to a phenomenal series.
Redemption was not a redemption story for Stephanie but it definitely was redeeming for Jessie and Blake.
Jessie was a ball busting sass machine with a heart of gold and a past that was holding her.
Blake was all alpha and protector, not just for Jessie, but the whole McKenzie Clan. He had a past that broke my heart, but once explored made me love him more.
The storyline was SOOOO Stephanie, twists and turns and a story to melt your panties, make you cry and say WTF?!
The end of the series is heartbreaking, but what a way to go. Stephanie’s growth throughout this series is phenomenal and a privilege to be a part of, reading it was a delight.
Cannot wait to see what Stephanie has for us next.
This was by far the best out of the series. Stephanie St. Klaire out did herself on this one. You definitely learn why Blake and Jessie are the way they are. I couldn’t put it down until it was done. This definite must read.
Redemption: WOW! WOW! WOW! An amazing addition to the series! Fantastic romance and great dialog. Characters were strong throughout the story! I could not put the book down it was so fantastic. I loved how it was written. I loved the challenges that Jessie and Blake were giving each other. They were perfect for each other and I loved the concept of the story. Stephanie St. Klaire did another amazing job of writing this book.
Blake and Jessie finally get their HEA! While this book can be read as a stand alone, it would be much better having read the series. The series really puts an amazing perspective on both of these characters, their personalities and understanding of a troubled past. Their bantering is funny and always so well placed throughout the book. Blake has a military past, one that you know has left him with many scars from what he experienced. Jessie is much harder. You know something is there, but until this story, you do not get to hear about her past. I enjoyed the suspense of this book. It flowed so well from start to finish while building up the very twisted ending you do not expect. And the ending was perfect for these two characters who deserved to put their pasts behind them and find love.
Wow! The much anticipated conclusion to The McKenzie Ridge series did not disappoint! It was fantastic!
Jessie, tough, rude, crass is hiding a big secret from her friends and when that secret puts her in danger Blake is right there to protect her.
This story had lots of great twists as well as plenty of romance, tears, and fun with the whole crowd of friends. And babies. Lots of babies.
A fabulous ending this series!
This has been my most anticipated book of the year. And this book totally delivered. Love Blake and Jessie. The first scene is priceless. Jessie is fearless independent and stubborn. Blake is her protector. Both of them have tragedy in their pasts. Blake knows Jessie’s past and will not let her fight this on her own. Jessie does not want to open to Blake or her friends because she fears their pity and judgment. Blake is always their for her. More Blake is there more Jessie desires him. You can feel the emotion once they open up to each other. The suspense and twists in this story will keep you on your toes. I would totally recommend this series to anyone who loves romantic suspense. I loved the updates on other Mckenzie Ridge couples and their growing families. The epilogue was charming.
Okay Stephanie saved the best for last. This book is off the charts, the best one yet. We finally get the characters we wanted together since the first book Blake and Jessie. They each have a secret past, that could destroy them and each other. So much happens but don’t want to ruin the story for anyone. All I can say is I loved every word of this book, and so sad that this is the last official McKenzie Ridge book. This is a series to check out.
