A one-night stand I can’t get out of my mind.Trey was only meant to be a distraction, someone I’d never see again. Turns out the man starring in my wild fantasies, is also occupying the desk next to mine. My experience with men tells me that he can’t be trusted, but my heart— and body, tells me something different. His demands for more weaken my resolve, and I find myself craving a man that’s … and I find myself craving a man that’s over a decade my senior.
I can’t escape the memories of our sizzling night together… I don’t want to.
He could be different, but was I willing to repeat my mistakes to find out?
Dear reader,
Craving Redemption is the first part of a duet that features secondary characters from the first three books in my Forbidden series. It’s a steamy older man office romance that’s sure to melt your heart and panties, and leave you begging for more.

This is Erica’s story. Erica and Joe go out for a night and Erica ends up hooking up with an older dominant guy for a one-night stand or so she thinks. At work getting ready to meet the new hire who should walk in Trey the man hired to help them get out of the dilemma Lauren’s father left the company in but also happens to be Erica’s one-night stand. Their is a spark and chemistry between these two but Erica tries to avoid Trey because they work together and she is still trying to redeem herself after being manipulated by Lauren’s father into helping him in his shenanigans. As hard as she tries Trey is not backing down and as hard as Erica tries after being scorned one to many times she finds herself thinking of letting Trey in. But then Erica gets news that will change her life and of course what she was waiting for as the saying goes the other shoe drops and it ends in an OMG moment that now I have to dive into the second part of this story to find out the conclusion.
Craving Redemption is a part of the Forbidden series and it follows Trey and Erica’s story. This is an age gap but I didn’t really feel the age difference. The attraction between them kept me turning pages to see what happens next. I absolutely loved this couple. Erica has a problem with trust. She has been hurt too many times by men in her life and wants to protect her heart. Trey day after day slowly tears down walls around Eric’s heart. And when I thought they had their HEA, there is a twist and the book ends on a cliffhanger.
This is Book 1 in the spinoff series from Forbidden. Erica was a key player in that series. Now seeking redemption for her past mistakes she wants to impress her friend, Lauren and boss, Ben. Her roommate Joe talks Erica Into going out for a night of fun and ends up having a one night stand with a handsome older gentleman that rocked her world. A few days later Ben, her boss announces they have a new employee and to welcome Trey ( her one night stand)! Can these two be professional or is the Redemption Erica seeks going to fall away. I just hate if when it ends on a cliffhanger . Good storyline and awesome characters.

Tracy does it again with another amazing story in this series. Holy hotness alert!! This book has as much steam with the characters as a hot shower. Sucks you in from the first page to the last. I can never get enough of her books and this one is by far my favorite.
I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
Our heroine is seeking redemption for all the mistakes she has made in the past (both real and imagined), so she is skeptical about entering into a new relationship. But our hero won’t give up that easily.
This is book four in this series, but the first book of a new story arc, if you will. Reading the previous books will give you background on the characters, but is not essential to enjoying this book.
This is an office romance story and pretty straightforward at that. At the same time, our heroine has a lot of issue from her past which has a definite impact on her now. The story is well written as are the characters providing both a nice setting and actors. The story is easy to read and very engaging as our heroine tries to work through her hesitations. I found I was sucked into the story pretty quickly and anxious to see what came next. I should note that this story does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, so if that bothers you, wait for the next one to be ready.
Recommended.

I have become so invested in all the characters stories in the Forbidden books. This is Erica and Trey’s story and their story is full of hotness right from the very beginning. I love when a book gives you that mind blowing hotness right from the start. Gosh…these two sure set the pages on fire and their story is such a page turner. This is part of a duet so get ready for the cliffy, but you don’t have to wait long for the second book which is such a major plus. Can’t wait to see what happens next for these two.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!

Erica has made some mistakes but is now trying to get her life straightened out. But her roommate Joe talks her into going out to let out some steam. She ends up going home with a guy. The net day at work she is informed that they are bringing in a new person to help. And it turns out to be her hook up from the night before. There is great chemistry between Erica and Trey. Trey did not give up on Erica but there is another book on them so stay tuned. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A fabulous start to an amazing romance with some twists and mishaps. This engaging storyline had me addicted page after page al the way to a cliffhanger ending so you have to wait for the next book for the happy ending. An amazing journey of self-discovery as these two flawed characters figure out a relationship. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.
OMG! That’s quite the cliff to be left dangling from.
Loving Erica and Trey’s story but that is quite the cliff to be left dangling from. I have to know what happens. Erica is damaged but Trey could be the dominant yet caring man she needs. That is until… Can’t wait for the next book.
Up and downs.
A man only asking for a chance to prove himself, that he is not like the ones that have hurt her caused such distrust that her happiness is not important any.

Second book in series that end in a cliffhanger. Erica was used by her previous boss causing the company to almost close. Trey is hired to help turn the business around. They met at a bar and had a night together without knowing each other’s names. When properly introduced it was Trey being new coworker. Their passion only grew but Erica is afraid of betrayal and being hurt so pushes him away. Good storyline, characters and full of passionate scenes.

Never expected that ending! Blew my mind because she was so dead set against relationships. She finally decided to do something and boom. I would be stuck too after what She is going through.

Well.. erica and trey are sizzling hot!
Craving redemption is the fourth book in the forbidden series. It’s definitely worth reading this series in order as there are lots of parts and characters in the story that won’t make sense if you don’t.
This book is an older man/ younger woman romance , though the age difference is not really the issue. The forbidden part is more
Focused on Erica’s not wanting to be involved with another man at work and her need to keep trey at a distance emotionally .
But their attraction is crackling and sizzling hot !
With lots of Ben and Lauren present and joe too this book was a fun sexy read!
From the beginning Erica and trey feel like atheist are a train wreck waiting to happen though I didn’t anticipate the cliff hanger ending!!
I look forward to the next book and seeing where their relationship takes them!!!
Erica craves redemption for the mistakes she made in the past with men especially Lauren’s father Nick who embezzled money from the company Ben’s father and grandfather built. She meets Trey as she is out one night with Joe. The chemistry is off the charts with Erica and Trey but she won’t allow herself to believe he is a good guy. As usual the book is well written and as usual this is part one of the story for Tracy. I did not like that it ended in a cliffhanger, I did not like that Joe has moved from Lauren to Erica and she has casual sex with him only to scratch an itch and Joe is still hiding something from Erica, and probably Lauren and Ben. I guess I will have to read the next book to find out how Erica and Trey’s relationship ends up after that bombshell cliffhanger.

Erica Wilde is getting back onto her feet after her ex disappeared on her. She has maded many mistakes in the past and now wants to prove to her best friend Lauren and boss Ben that she is focused on working and not making any more bad mistakes. She has let her close friend Joe move in with her and he encourages her to cut loose at the bar one night which results in her going home with a handsome stranger.
When Ben mentions he has hired someone new to help them recover from mistakes Lauren’s dad made with the company, Erica is shocked to see that it is her one night stand. Now Erica must face another mistake every day.
When Trey doesn’t give up on Erica will she give him a chance and open up her heart again or is she just setting herself up for more heartbreak?
I was super excited for this book after learning all about Erica in the first three books and seeing everything she went through and the mistakes that she made.
Erica definitely had a messy past but at the same time she was vulnerable and that was used against her and she really wanted to make sure that her mom was going to be ok. I hated how much she beat herself up but at the same time I would have probably done the same thing so I really understood. Her friendship with Lauren was so important to her and she really didn’t want to let her down again which she felt like she was doing after discovering who Trey was.
Trey was not ready to give up on Erica but he wasn’t aware of her past and why she was so reluctant to get involved with him. He was extremely pushy and demanding which excited Erica but also really scared her.
It was such a roller coaster with Erica and Trey because of her past and how much Trey pushed. Yet there was also so much chemistry between the two of them and Trey did so many nice gestures towards Erica that I hoped he could finally break through everything.
The end was so jaw dropping with two different things and one I definitely did not see coming!!! I can’t wait for the next book!
Erica and Trey have a hot one night stand but what will happen when Trey shows up working in her office? Will they be able to forget it ever happened? Highly unlikely to forget chemistry this steamy. Erica and Trey are sure to burn the pages of your kindle. Although technically this is a standalone, I’d really suggest reading the Forbidden Series first as these characters are originally introduced there. It’s certainly a great series and you will absolutely have zero regrets. Tracy tells a great story. Enjoy!!!
