Rock Redemption (Rock Revenge Trilogy, #3)

A Wonderful book of self discovery & redemption.
Ian Kagan loathes himself, what he’d become and what he’d been a part of! He can feel he’s losing Zoe & feels it’s exactly what he deserves. Zoe loves him but can’t be all be lives for. That he was ready to walk to his likely death, even for the most noble cause, so easily broke her!! Their goodbye is raw & brutal but still full of love as she tells him not to waste his second chance to start over!!

Ian’s journey, with the help of his new found friend, Flyn, is more needed than he ever truly realised. He tells him everything, his shame date at him but Flyn doesn’t kick him out or disparage him, he just offers his friendship, counsil, experience & studio! He starts teaching him the ropes in the studio & Ian slowly starts to write & record, he’s forgiving himself and moving forward but certainly not forgetting what he’s got to make up for!

I really like Flyn & hope he gets a story, Rory is a trip too! This is a lovely read. Zoe goes on her journey too, literal & emotional. It’s what’s needed to move the storyline forward. Any time at Happy Acres Orchard, in this world, is always fun & welcome, this was even more so!This was a true book of redemption & forgiveness, gorgeous!

I was given this book to read in exchange for a review.
This was such an excellent way to end this series. Because good people can also do seriously stupid things, and do need redemption. Ian is just such a sweet, genuine character – that I couldn’t help but love him from the very first book in the Trilogy, even though he was a bit misguided, his heart is still somehow good. He just needed the time he took to grow into himself, so he could mend his damaged relationships with his brother Simon and Zoe who he connected with immediately on very intense level – He felt so drawn to her, that he needed to go back to her because she was his future. I especially love the multiple POV’s, it keeps all the series intertwined, and so many of the characters make an appearance.

WOW what an ending to the trilogy!
This story had my emotions all over the place and I have to be honest and say that I wasn’t sure that Ian would get his HEA with Zoe even though I had hoped beyond hoped that he would, things just weren’t looking good for him….but thankfully there was a light at the end of that very dark tunnel.

Book 2, Rock Reclaimed, left us with one heck of a cliffhanger and we pick up right where that left off and man oh man things are insane! I swear I was hanging on every word I couldn’t read fast enough because my heart was in my throat wondering what was going to happen. Then things calmed down for a bit and I could breath normally again, for a little while anyway.

If you have read the LOST IN OBLIVION series by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott you will recognize many of the characters in this trilogy because Ian is Simon Kagan’s brother, one that he doesn’t even know exists, yes you read that correctly. I would recommend reading the LIO series because it was great but it does not have to be read in order to appreciate this trilogy but these three books must be read in order to understand the full story.

This is a great read for anyone that enjoys a good romantic suspense or a contemporary romance with the Rockstar Romance trope. Happy Reading!!!

**I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book**

Rock Redemption is the climactic culmination to Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s Rock Trilogy. The entire trilogy, and specifically this final installment, is some of the authors’ finest writing. They’ve interwoven heart-pounding suspense, romance, friendship and familial love, and transformation into an emotional, edge-of-your-seat storyline.

The trilogy prominently features their Lost in Oblivion rockstar series characters that I’ve grown to love and can’t seem to get enough of, along with many new faces that I’ll no doubt see more of in the future. I can only hope. So many of the new characters jumped right off the pages into my heart, and I need more. The sooner the better.

If you haven’t started the Rock Trilogy or the Lost in Oblivion series yet, jump on that right now.

After Ian’s confession at the end of Rock Reclaimed, I was on pins waiting to see if, and how, he was able to make amends for his actions. The first part of the book was fast paced and intense, focussing on the race to save Margo and it’s all hands on deck. As you can imagine, Simon was going out of his mind and it was wonderful to see other members of the Oblivion family rally round, their anger, quite rightly, directed towards Ian. Clearly, someone who orchestrates such a plan is not of sound mind but I was unprepared for quite how unstable and crazy these people really were. Poor Margo, I felt such sympathy for her. My only slight criticism is that, for me, the conclusion to Margo’s part of the story fell a bit short and after all the build up, felt a little rushed.

Even though he had tried to right his wrongs, I went into the second part of the story hugely disappointed with Ian and, dare I say it, I didn’t really like him. I had loved his cockiness, with a side of vulnerability, in the previous books but when the whole truth came out, I wanted to kick him in the backside for the part he played in putting lives at risk. These authors had a fight on their hands persuading me that he was someone who was worth a second chance. I needn’t have worried. They did a terrific job of growing his character, whilst on his journey of self discovery. We’re introduced to new characters, who are just who he needs to get him back on track. I loved these guys, their antics and ridiculous behaviour are hilarious and hugely entertaining.

This romantic suspense is a bit of a departure for these authors and I think they did a wonderful job. I wasn’t expecting all the feels but it delivered them in spades. As well as the drama, fun and laughter, there are definitely some poignant moments, and one particular scene with Ian and Simon was hugely moving and had me in tears. Rock Redemption is a real page turner, a story of love and family, and is a terrific end to this trilogy.

The previous book left us with a cliffhanger making me want this third installment now! Will the member of Oblivion be alright, will they not, will they make it, won’t they, all of the wondering drove me to read read and read until I got my answer. The angst was vividly portrayed by Ms. Elliott and Ms. Quinn. It was nail biting to say the very least. There is resolution to the cliffhanger, I just don’t want to spoil it.

Now to get to the nitty gritty in this series which is Ian Kagan and Zoe Manning. I swoon at the mention of their names because there is a fire between them that is undeniable and effervescent. To love someone so much, but to not be able to feel like you deserve that love, that is the crux of these two. And what a beautiful juxtaposition it is indeed. Ian is raw, full of passion and anger. Zoe is feisty, artistic and strong, so strong that she envelops Ian in her light.

They have to fight for one another, but also fight themselves in their insecurities with regards to their relationship. They need to learn to be their own person in order to not get lost in the light of the other. Perhaps the most difficult thing to attain when you don’t know exactly where you belong.

Ian is real, flawed and in search of himself. Though he doesn’t quite know that. He finds realness in some friendships and a cathartic growth in his musical development. Once he comes full circle, he is ready to go balls to the wall for Zoe. Zoe on the other hand needs to take the leap in her art and expose herself to the idea that she can and will be a successful artist. She needs to allow herself to focus solely on herself and art in order to shine. So of course she does that at home.

When these two see each other again, it is witty and sarcastic banter that delights my soul. It is that drive to never give up on the one you love even when they can’t see it that made me love this book even more. Ian is an anti-hero, but in the end finds that he can live in this Oblivion World as a hero too!

This book was split into 2 parts. If you haven’t read the other books, you need to. I’ll try and keep my spoilers to a minimum but they can’t be helped!
The first part of this book picked up where the last one ended and focused on Margo. She was in an accident (which we find out was on purpose) and how to rescue her. This was intense writing and you could only feel for those involved. I didn’t see that ending.

I loved it so much. I wasn’t even expecting to, but I do.

Wow!!! Rock Redemption, the conclusion of the Rock Revenge trilogy, totally rocked! I don’t even know where to start and I don’t want to say to much because I don’t want to give anything away but between Margo and Simon, and Ian and Zoe, there is just so many feels!!! The highlight, in my opinion, is watching the character development of Ian. Spot on perfection!!!
