This box set contains both Exploited and Redeemed.~ Exploited ~For years I’ve left a path of death and destruction wherever I go. I promise myself that after one last job I’ll have the money I desperately need to quit taking lives. That’s how I find myself back in my hometown of Lexington.So beautiful and innocent, I unknowingly end up saving the life of the one girl I was supposed to keep … the one girl I was supposed to keep silent…the one girl I was supposed to end.
She’s my fallen angel sent from above.
I can’t resist staining her pure white wings with my darkness when I use her. Defile her. Deceive her.
The two of us were both ruined by our pasts when they intersected. Pasts that we’re still trying to escape with the hounds of hell on our heels.
Fate brought us together. Now, I’ll do anything to protect my angel from the demons that haunt her. I won’t stop until I slay the devil himself to keep her safe, the man who ruined both of our lives.
The only problem is, my silent angel is keeping secrets from me – the biggest of which is that I’m not the only one who wants to exploit her.
~ Redeemed ~
For years I’ve left a path of death and destruction wherever I go, and now God’s punishing me.
Time’s running out for my fallen angel, but I’ll do whatever it takes to save her.
I made her a promise that I intend to keep.
Until my last breath.

This is for the first book only. Will read and review book two soon. What a mess Blair finds herself in. I received a copy of this manuscript and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
The Dark Redemption Box Set by Lane Hart. I thought this book set was very good. I thought this story was very well written, full of steam and romance, and very entertaining. I recommend this author and story to others looking for a contemporary drama filled with personal struggle, twists and turns, passion, and strong characters.

This box set contains two books Exploited and Redeemed. I am so glad that I read them back to back because reading one than the other would have sucked. Justice or revenge? Do you let your past determine your future? These are questions that the characters we meet in this story have to answer for themselves and these are not easy decisions. These books give you an amazing story of twists and turns that will keep you turning each page, with the phrase “just one more page” every chance you get. I really do not want to start on the plot of the book and divulge anything. If you have read this author previously, you will know that you are in for a spectacular story with a whole lot of different emotions. If you have not read this author, this box set is a fantastically shady place to start.

Blair’s nightmare started when she was eight. Now ten years later, she was back where her life ended because of her murderous father.
This intriguing, suspenseful and dark romance was well written with twists and turns that kept me guessing.
In the beginning, I wondered who would be the significant other in Blair’s tragic life. As both Aiden and Brede met and fell for Blair, the author kept the storyline interesting and compelling.
I wished Blair’s father suffered more for his part in her torment.

Received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Omg this book was awesome. Characters were well written and the plot was exciting. I definitely recommend this book.
Exploited is the first story in this box set and the benefits of the box set are that you don’t have to wait for the next book to come out, as there are some major cliffs in this book and I usually hate cliffy endings but this book has been amazing, and I have every faith that the second one will be just as good as Lane Hart is an author who will break you, but she also has the talent to put you back together again. Each of the three main character’s in this story have their own unique story to tell and they use their own voices to tell us, not all of the stories have happy endings or happy beginnings, and some of them are hard to read, but the thing about Lane Hart is that even the hardest of things to read still have a poetry to them that make them more palatable.
Redeemed is the second story in the box set and completes the story. This won’t be to everyone’s taste as there are subjects dealt with that some won’t like and one major character plot twist that some won’t enjoy but I loved!!! Brede is dark and dangerous, but I would love to feel safe and warm in his arms. If you like your reads dark and steamy then this is perfect for you, if not I would still suggest you give this a try but be prepared to have a breather and a cool off as you will need it.

Let’s start of by saying the more that we read by this author the more we fall in love with her works as she creates these amazing characters that suck you right in from the onset of their stories and we can’t help but, fall and love with the characters that she gave us to read about.This story took us on one heck of a joyride and we loved every bit of it.
This story was dark and dangerous full of twists and turns and some really big surprises but, most of all it was hot as he**.One women two men where they could not be any different yet one in the same but,one has a conscience and the others is questionable. I loved Brede,Aden and Blair as all of their stories are heart wrenching and some more then others but, one women is bound to easy some of their pain.
Two men compete for one women but, only one wants to win her virginity and the other her heart and one he can’t live without.The story was gripping and captivating and kept you glued to the pages the entire time but, it was also filled will abuse,murder,deception ,erotic sexual play and a whole lot of chemistry and one that was highly emotional that the reader could not help feel their pain as it was so heart wrenching to hear all that they have survived.”We loved it!”
I got to say that we loved that Blair was a women of strength and one to admire for all the trials she survived and Brede was the bad boy biker for hire that I fell head of heels for from the onset of the story and was rooting team Brede all the way!
A recommended read to all as you won’t be able to put it down as I sure as heck wasn’t able to !
grins..
Lane Hart has captured my heart, yet again! Amazingly raw and gritty story. His angel. Her devil. Secrets everywhere. Totally had me from the 1st chapter and could not put it down. Prepare yourselves ladies, this is a panty melter for sure,

This box set was dark, erotic and suspenseful. I literally couldn’t put it down. I really did not see the ending coming. The author captivated me to the fullest even emotionally.

GOOD BOOK
I had read these before but it was over a year ago. So I re-read the books. I really enjoy any books written by Lane. The characters all worked well together & they all hidden problems but they worked together to make it all work.

I was fortunate enough to read the books in the series by themselves but you are lucky to get them both in one set where you can read one and then immediately launch into the other one.
Exploited – Book #1
This was a bit long and I had trouble getting into the book at first and then, WOW, it took off. Blair is an 18 year old virgin that has been hidden away in a mental institution because of something horrible she witnessed ten years prior. She escapes because she wants to right the wrong she caused ten years prior. Brede has been hired by Blair’s father to “silence” her despite the fact that Blair has no spoken a word for the past ten years since she was told if she said anything, she would be killed. Brede breaks into her childhood home where Blair has been hiding since her escape and is immediately overcome by her beauty, spunk an innocence. Things get tricky when not only does Blair have Brede visiting her, there is another mysterious stranger that also breaks into her home and is also captured by the innocent young virgin. The book keeps you guessing how who the mysterious 2nd stranger is as you are exposed to some very hot scenes between Blair and Brede and Blair and her stranger. I guessed at identity of the mysterious stranger but the that did not diminish my enjoyment of this book. As stated, there is a cliffhanger at the end and I was left on pins and needles and cannot wait to read the ending in Redeemed.
Redeemed – Book #2
A quick and entertaining read! This is the second in a two book (as of yet, hint, hint please can I have more?) series as the original left in a cliffhanger. I was not disappointed when I picked up this book and started reading to find out happens with Briana. I loved this book enough that as I said, I hope there might be a Book 3. Do yourself a favor and read Redeemed but don’t forget to start with Exploited or you will be lost.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
Wow! This was quite a wild ride and one I won’t soon forget. These characters kept me captivated as they navigate relationships, their pasts, and their need for not only justice but for revenge. Filled with a lot of twists and turns, as well as some serious sizzling scenes, I couldn’t put this one down. There is a bit of character inconsistency with the hero regarding a decision he made that had me shaking my head a bit, but it wasn’t nearly enough to interfere with my determination to find out if and how these characters found their happy ever after or what that was going to look like.
Ultimately, this ends in the best possible way with a look into the future which included marriage, babies and a satisfying taste of revenge.
Murder. Abuse. Mystery. Revenge. Redemption. A bit of something for everyone. Blair, Brede and Aden work together to right the wrongs of Blair’s father. There are ups and downs throughout that kept the pages turning.
Excellent dark romance box set!
This is a two volume box set, containing dark themes and is also tragic at some points, but does however come with a satisfying HEA. This is an excellent read, especially if you love a suspenseful dark and dirty story.
EXPLOITED (Volume One)
In this part we get to meet all the key players; Blair, Brede and Aden. Blair is the young woman both men are h*ll bent on finding for their own nefarious purposes. She saw something horrible when she was just eight years old, then she was forced to lie and to top it off she got locked up in a mental institution for the last ten years. Brede has been hired to kill Blair, but when he sees her for the first time all he sees is a beautiful, broken, little angel and he’s not sure if he can kill her anymore. Aden is an FBI agent that wants Blair to help him get an innocent man out of prison and he’s willing to do just about anything to make it happen. Both men are exploiting her and her heart and she is too naive to realize it. This book ends on a crazy wtf cliffhanger that had me diving right into Redeemed (Volume Two).
REDEEMED (Volume Two)
This book picks up right where Exploited left off. After everything that Brede and Aden put Blair through she ran away from them. She’s then put through more h*ll and is beginning to wonder if she will ever have a life worth living. Brede is trying to work through all the problems that not killing Blair is causing and Aden is not at all what he says he is, which is also a huge problem. This book is suspenseful, dark, thrilling and edge of your seat fantastic. It’s a great read and brings this story to a very satisfying conclusion.
There are some dark and tragic parts, but this story is super engaging and a total page turner from start to end. Definitely a great read and I highly recommend this box set as a must read!!!!

This book duet is so HOT and an emotional roller coaster. The characters in these books are so beautifully damaged and it takes each other and hard sacrifices to find the HEA at the end of their long journey.

A great Box Set. The complete story is an intense joyride that was engaging, extremely entertaining and a must read.
Exploited (The Dark Redemption #1)
This was an addictive book for me. The suspense and intrigue had me hooked from the start. It’s intense storyline had me guessing and gasping through out the thrill filled pages and the characters were phenomenal, the two bad guys were fighting for the top post, it was pretty hard to choose the worse guy, and I was captivated by the heroine, she showed her many strengths.
It’s a dark read, there’s violence, bloody murder, erotic sexual play and abuse.
I was enthralled with this exciting story, it was well written with a cliffhanger which had me gasping for book two!
******
Redeemed (The Dark Redemption #2)
A great conclusion to this duet.
No disappointments here. Big questions answered and characters cleared up.
Lots of twists and turns which has you guessing, and this one had me on the edge of my seat more than book one but the gasp factor was there with plenty of erotic love, dark thrills and violence. My heart was actually pounding at one point in this story it was that good! Loved it!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book through BookSprout. I thoroughly enjoyed this duet. It has everything, it’s dark, deep, dangerous, and you will not put this down. You will be hanging on every word, it’s emotional, so many twists and turns you won’t see coming. I loved Brede, Aden and Blair, these three come with some big baggage and their story is brilliantly written and their lives intertwined in a way you never imagined. The chemistry between Brede and Blair is off the hook crazy good, Blair is the only one who can set the record straight as to who the guilty party is and she’s ready. Loved this box set, another amazing read by this author she never disappoints.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. WOWOWOW. Loved this series. It is dark and steamy and has all the right characters. Brede and Aden are twins and are taken into foster care when their father goes to prison for murder. Blair is take to a mental institution after her mother is murdered when she was eight. 10 years later and their lives mingle together in a strange way. She escapes from the institution and goes looking for her father. Brede is contracted to kill her. Aden is harbouring a dark past from his experiences in foster care. They way the characters meet and interact have you cringing yet feeling sympathy for their past lives.
book does a good job of picking up from Exploited. The story has so many turns that are unexpected it is hard to say which is better because both books were written so well. The characters are well thought out, the setting and description puts the mind set in such a way that you can feel the emotion coming off the characters. I love a story that gets you so involved that you feel that you are right there with the characters.

I was confused in the beginning of this book when the story was switched between both men. Blair is 18 and has escaped from a mental institution after 10 years because she witnessed her father kill her mother. Now that she is free, she returns to the house where it all happened. Her father is a DA and on his honeymoon so his house is empty. While staying at her father’s house, an intruder breaks in and scares her. He doesn’t hurt her, but tells her that he needs her help to set his father free, from jail because he was framed for the murder of Blair’s mother. To be continued……
Redeemed has some really great twists and turns that I was not expecting and I was not able to predict the ending. It does continue the story of Blair and her two men. Will she chose one over the other, or will she keep both of them? This book has strong characters and is a good read.
