Nearly four years after running from the scene of not one, but two crimes, Charlotte McLintock is barely managing to survive and keep a roof over her head. With her daughter to look after, a degree to finish, and several jobs to juggle, life is hard. But they’re not the only battles she’s facing: guilt, secrets, and a broken heart still haunt her every waking moment, and stalk her dreams. When …
When shadows from her past resurface and threaten to unravel everything she’s worked so hard for, Charlotte must decide if it’s time to come clean or run once more. Will she be able to earn the atonement she so desperately craves, or will those hunting her demand their own special kind of vengeance?
WARNING
Atonement is a contemporary New Adult reverse harem second-chance romance, with some dark themes. It is told from multiple points of view and is a medium burn with a cliffhanger. It contains hot guys, bad language and sexual scenes. I would love for you to read this book, but please be aware that it comes with triggers, a warning of 18+, and you really need to have read Vengeance first.

A must read!!
What a great ending for Raven and her men. I can’t wait to read where the story is going to go in the next heroine story. This series was a must read!
This is the second book in the Vengence series. This begins where the first book left off. Raven/Charlotte had exacted her revenge on those who wronged her sister. Fast forward 4 years later, her past catches up with her with a lot of surprises thrown in the mix.
I am literally trying to wrap my head around what the hell just happened. One of my toxic traits is to easily become emotionally invested in the story and characters, and this one hit me right in the feels. I am definitely not one for surprise pregnancy/baby trope but this one is absolutely fantastic! That cliffhanger had me tearing up.
What an incredible second book in this series by Crystal North! I loved the multiple POV’s in this one! I also loved seeing the missing time through Charlotte’s journal. I am also thoroughly and completely in love with Baxter! So so so many secrets are revealed and some are real doozies! Can their relationships withstand all the truth bombs? I guess we’ll just have to wait for book three to find out what happens! I can’t wait!
As chaotic and angsty this story was, I loved it even more than the first book.
Its like Raven gets so close to finally being Happy with all her dreams and desires being fulfilled then another shocking twist happens and it all goes downhill.
I knew all her men genuinely loved her and this book really showed how deep and far they were all willing to go.
And that ending was an EPIC cliffhanger!
I’m so stoked to have started this series as the final book is released
I love this book so much! I love the different points of view from each character, and to see how Raven’s actions in book one affects her in this book and how she deals with it! The Rollercoaster of feelings in this book was AWESOME!! Rebel Aceand Bax it’s hard for me not to give spoilers! But damn I can’t wait for book 3!! I so HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!
This book had me feeling every emotion, it was a real page turner. Raven’s life has changed dramatically, she went into hiding, thinking she’d never see the guys again but thanks to a chance sighting they are back in her lives. I love the way Bax has changed and I’ve gone from hating him to loving him.
The book is full of secrets and as they are revealed the aftermath is so emotional.
I love that it’s from multiple POV as that really helps to find out what they all think about the various situations.
I really hope I dont have to wait too long for the 3rd book.
2nd book in series and Raven’s story is still amazing! four years have passed since book 1, but nothing is lost in the transition. on a side note, really Crystal?!? what was that ending??? ugh!! (actually nothing wrong with the conclusion except it was a gut-wrenching cliffhanger. book 3 needs to hurry up!!)
Yes! So happy to finally see what happened after Raven set fire to the chapel and let her guys high and dry. The journal entries are always my favorite part to read because they give so much backstory as you read. There is a lot of turmoil in this book. Life certainly has changed for Raven as she now has to focus on caring for someone other than herself. Her child’s well being becomes the main focus making Raven lose a bit of her backbone as she’s literally just trying to survive and make sure Phoenix is raised well. There’s not really any vengeance in this book, but Raven is still having to deal with a crap ton. From having the guys reenter her life with mixed emotions, to a crazy boyfriend, manipulation by said boyfriend, and that whammy her grandmother throws at her at the end. There’s a lot of changes that happen in this book so don’t be surprised if your feelings and love of certain characters from the last book shift to other ones while reading this book. Characters I hated in the last book I now dislike and vice versa. Although this book was drastically different from Vengeance, it was still equally pleasing to read. I desperately need book 3 to see how the story plays out.
WHAT A BOOK TO READ!! I cannot believe that I no longer harbor ill will to Baxter. I mean seriously, in the first book I despised him and now I love him. ugh Crystal North why would you do this to me. This book had me heartbroken because Charlotte was no longer Raven. She seemed to have lost herself because she walked away from the guys. But make no mistake the guys were not giving up on finding her. Secrets are revealed and betrayals made. I do not like Charlottes Grandmother. I hope that she gets what she deserves and Charlie Jr too. Oh man, my emotions were all over the place while reading. My heart was pumping and I felt broken. I cannot wait for what will happen next. What will the guys do now. Will Charlotte be able to have the family she wants. So many questions I need answers to. Crystal North you have decimated my heart!!! I cried ugly and wanted to scream at some of the characters. Please don’t make me wait to long.
Wow! This follow-up to Vengeance is amazing! This book, while lighter on the steam than the first installment, was no less amazing. I couldn’t put it down! This book/series is so much more than an RH romance. There is mystery and drama.
It was heartbreaking to go through the rebuilding processes with the characters as they learned more about the roles each of them played in the first book. They has to learn to love and trust each other despite all of the new secrets that were revealed!
I can’t wait for the next book!
Atonement is book two in the Vengeance series. It was completely amazing! I was hooked the whole time. I can not express how enjoyable this book was. I can not wait to see what Crystal North does next!
Atonement was just as good as I expected. There were some twists I didn’t expect. This book is intense. They characters have all grown so much and it’s great to see them all back together. The cliffhanger on this one definitely makes me crave the next installment like now. I can’t wait to see how their story ends
Four years, a different continent, a child and a different name but Rebel, Thorn, Jax and Ace finally find Raven (a.k.a Charlotte). All those years, secrets and lies all threaten their happy reunion though. I just have to say how much i love Baxter in this book. A complete turn around for his character. Hes a sweetheart as well as Rebel is too. Loved those two. Bloody hell though you dont make Raven’s life easy in this book Ms North and god damn it with that ending?? I seriously wanted to punch Cordelia. Counting down the days for the next book. Fan-flaming-tastic read
