WARNING: This book contains some dark, dirty and dangerous situations before ending in a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. The debauchery will continue in the second book in the series, Redeemed.I’m going to hell, and my angel’s about to lose her wings.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 … 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 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.

Truthfully, this one had me confused for a couple of chapters. We have Blair who was a witness to her mother’s throat being slit when she was eight years old and then told to shut up and never say a word or she would be next. Needless to say we find out she’s later been highly drugged and put in a mental institution for the past ten years.
Then we have Brede who is a paid assassin who’s vices of women, booze, and gambling have taken most of his money. He wants just one more big job to help his foster parents financially for all they’ve done for him. His foster mom needing a transplant but she’s up in years and not at the top of the list.
And then last of all, we have Aiden who has been researching and following information on Blair’s father, a crooked DA, trying to find tangible proof and ultimately the justice he needs.
Lane Hart has given us three flawed characters, all with their own agendas, colliding into a world of mystery, angst, and sexual chemistry. It’s well written and flows easily. Oh, and it ends with a HUGE cliffhanger, so be prepared. Now I’m wanting to find out how she ties everything together and what the final outcome is.
Oh My God Lane Hart the way you started this book!!!! Dayum Girl!!!!! You really know how to captivate your readers and I knew I would found an intense, captivating and suspenseful reading.
“Exploited” starts with a traumatic event that little Blair had witnessed. She watched her mother being brutally killed and you can feel her pain, the way she’s scared. No child should witness this traumatic scene.
This book explores the story of Blain, Brede and Aden, and this story is alternated throw their points of views.
Blair is an 18 year old girl, haunted by her tragic childhood. She lives constantly in fear of being caught and isolated from the world. She returns to her childhood home after 10 years away because she wants to recover her memories, she wants to remember the only person who ever loved her, her mother and then she intends to end her life because for her there is no purpose to continue to live.
“Brede” is a military man already discharged from military service. Service who trained well in the art of killing and survive. He’s a hired killer, he gets paid to kill mainly bad and cruel people. He only do this because he needs the money to save the couple who had saved him. Until one day he gets the call that will change his life. Will it be for the better or worse?
Aden is the mystery man that only have on purpose: Prove the author of a crime and with that save the person who was arrested unfairly and for that he has to get the help from Blair.
When the three of them know each other something about her awake them and they cannot remain indifferent to her innocence and beauty. A lot will happened that will leave you on edge.
This book is bathed in suspense and mystery. We have some hot scenes in the mix that will leave you flabbergasted, believe me.
Do you already know Lane Hart work? You don’t? What are you waiting for? Each book reveals the fantastic author she is, because we can see the story flow without becoming bored, quite the opposite, you will want to keep reading. The way she writes captivate you from the beginning and you can’t stop reading.
Now I am truly upset. Do you want to know why? The way this book ended had left me furious. So many questions that remain unanswered! So curious that left me hallucinating. Please, please, please I need book 2, asap because the unknown is killing me.
Exploited by Lane Hart a five-star read that will break you. This is the first book in the Dark Redemption series and it comes with a warning that you will want to have book two ready and waiting 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. This was one of the hardest reads I’ve read for a while, but in the same breath I can’t wait till I’ve finished writing this to get to reading the second book. Thank you again Lane for being amazing.
