I love me some shifter daddy romances, and Liza rocked this one with Savage Redemption! If you love Alpha bad boy shifters with tough exteriors and gooey hearts, you won’t want to miss this gem. <3
Unmarried mother Delilah is struggling to make ends meet while she tries to raise her daughter on her own. In desperation, she tries once again to contact the baby’s father. Mountain lion shifter Ben has been the villain in the past and so knows he doesn’t deserve anything good in his life let alone love. When Delilah contact him for help he knows he has to help as she needs help and protection from a dangerous rogue wolf. Ben wants nothing more than to claim her as his mate but first he has to risk everything in order to protect his new family. Can he turn things around and become the hero who gets the girl like he wants to?
This was a lovely story that definitely tugs at the heartstrings in places. I loved Ben’s character and the way he was determined to be good, nice and protect his family even though he felt that he did not deserve anyone in his life. Delilah was a strong and very independent woman and it was great to see her get some happiness and someone to be her partner going forward. Well written and easy to read and understand. Contains some explicit sexual content.
This is the first book that I’ve read by Liza Street but it, most certainly, will not be the last! I like her writing style and the storyline is well written with engaging characters such as the gorgeous and delicious Ben and the feisty Delilah. The dialogue is witty. This book satisfies two of my weaknesses in books – romance and the paranormal so it was pretty sure to be a winner. I look forward to reading more of Liza’s books. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Definitely recommended.
I’ve read and reviewed several Liza Street books in the past, and there’s a few things I’ve come to expect from her as an author: 1) A nice, fast-paced, short-but-not-too-short read, 2) Interesting characters, 3) alpha males who aren’t complete a-holes, and 4) Realistic dialogue with little glimpses of humor here and there. Savage Redemption was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be…and that’s a good thing.
Now, Ben, the hero in this book, was actually a villain in another book in the Corona Pride series, but you can read Savage Redemption without having read other books in the series. This one stands alone nicely. The important thing is that Ben was a bad guy who now feels terrible about his past actions, and is doing everything in his power to make up for them. In this book, he’s an exceptionally nice guy—and y’all know how much I love a nice guy hero.
Delilah is a pretty good heroine, too. She’s a young mom who has been forced into an impossible situation, and she’s dealing with it the best she can. Her devotion to her little one is admirable.
So, why not a 5 star rating? It’s a little instalove-y, frankly. I don’t really mind that too much in shifter romance, but Delilah isn’t a shifter. Sure, Ben’s a super nice guy who does a lot for her, and he’s stupid hot. But she doesn’t really KNOW him all that well before she falls for him.
But, minor nitpick notwithstanding, this is a good, solid read from an author I’ve come to trust. The series is definitely 1-clickable if you’re into stories about hot shifters who aren’t jerks and the woman who love them.
Full disclosure: We received an ARC from the author free of charge.

Ben is trying to make up for past mistakes and to me he seems harder on himself than anyone else is. Delilah is a single mom looking for her baby’s dad and instead finds Ben. Ben has to tell her that his brother was killed. Since she has no idea her daughter is a lion shifter, Ben gets the job of sticking close to her. Add a rival wolf pack stalking her and things get scary. She starts her new life with nothing and no one to help them. It is amazing how much changes for them with Ben and the pride looking out for them. This was a heartwarming romance that just kinda snuck up on them. I loved it. I volunteered to read an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
The great character and storyline development kept me totally glued to my kindle throughout the entire book! This was the first book that I have read by this author and it definitely will not be the last!
Delilah’s story is from Liza Street a new to me author, always fun to read “new” authors books, it like opening a gift the excitement and the thrill of seeing where the story will go and feel the connection with new characters.
What do you do when your one-night stand leaves you something more? down and out single mom struggling just enough to finally make her search out the baby’s daddy.
Ben is known for his villainous ways (oh yeah loved him) he knows it but yeah. Things start to change for him when he stops to give a friendly hand to someone in need.
Of course, you have a bad buy with bad intentions, is Ben the baddest? what’s going to happen when a the new baddie threatens what important to Ben?
Grab it and find out more of Ben and Delilah’s story. Sexy, hot enjoyable read.
I love this multi author group of books under the heading of Bad Alpha Dads. In this one we have Ben Channing trying to make amends for his past and Delilah a single mother trying to make a life for herself and baby Mackenzie( so not good with remembering names so forgive me if I am wrong).
The two meet when Delilah realizes that she wants her daughter to have the chance, she never had of knowing her father which happens to be Ben’s deceased brother Chase whom he must inform Delilah of, then he gives her his number if she ever needs anything then she calls him.
This is how the story begins as the grumpy Ben learns to love a little girl and her mother while Delilah learns of the family secret. This is my first reading of Ms. Streets work although I keep putting her books on my wish list so when I had the opportunity to volunteer to read an advance copy I had to do so and I am so glad I did, I liked the believability of the characters and the pace or as I refer to it the flow of a story. No I haven’t been compensated in any way for this opinion.
An exceptional read! It is a fantastic, brilliantly written and emotionally deep paranormal romance. It is an on the edge of your seat read with lots of twists and turns and a storyline that is action-packed with intrigue, humour, excitement, and violent suspense. The plot is consistent, engaging and will grip you from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Delilah is a young single mother of a new-born baby when she finally finds the nerves to tell the father of the baby that he has become a father after a no-strings-attached affair. But instead of Chase she finds his brother Ben, who has to tell her that Chase had died. Ben, riddled with guilt for too many things, and worried, because Chase’s baby is a mountain lion shifter, and Delilah is unaware of the existance of shifters. He gives her his phone number to stay in contact for help. The call comes sooner than expected and both their lives change from there on out.
A lovely story with a little bit of mystery and thrill, but mostly about two people, who have to live with their past and try to find redemption.

Loved this sweet story of redemption and awakening. Delilah just breaks your heart. Having been raised with no one to depend on she gives everything she has to her daughter. Ben has a big chip on his shoulder. He thinks he’s been nothing but a screwup and is trying to make amends. She doesn’t know about shifters and his self deprecating nature make for a precarious interlude as he protects her and his niece in his home. Everyone falls for baby Mckenzie right off the bat, even Ben. But their romance is a slow burn, and their story a heartwarming read.
I enjoyed reading this book , about a bad boy villain going good. Ben and Delilah’s story is great. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
I LOVED this villain!
Okay, okay, a misnomer. While Ben was a bad guy in a previous book (not necessary to read that book in order to enjoy this one), he certainly changed since then!
I liked how Liza wrote him; outwardly, he was the strong, silent type and didn’t have much dialogue. But it was reading what went on inside of his head that made him so endearing. He was trying really really hard to be a good guy, and I just loved reading him.
Delilah was also fun to read. I liked her upbeat personality, even as she was faced with truly dire circumstances. And I really liked how she was eventually okay with Ben trying to protect her. So many romances out there try to portray strength in women by them adamantly and sometimes aggressively refusing help from men, and I hate that. It’s probably a famous quote somewhere, but the greatest showing of strength is knowing when to ask for help. In my opinion. But I digress.
Liza also included an intense fight scene that had me on the edge of my seat! Be warned that it’s a bit graphic, but it was SO well-written.
Bottom line: If you like shifter books, Liza is DEFINITELY an author to have in your library!!!
(I was given a copy of this book in consideration of my honest thoughts)
Couldn’t put it down. Love the writing, easy to get involved with the characters.
I received a free copy of this book.
First I love books about cat shifters add to that a bad character that ends up good and I’m hooked. This book is about second chances and all the things the guy is doing so that the girl he loves and her daughter to have a HEA. And I absolutely adored the little girl.

Very enjoyable and entertaining read. I really like Delilah she was very strong and independent. I also like her no nonsense personality, she never once complaint about her situation always trying to see the positive of things and working her butt off to provide for daughter McKenzie. Can we talk about Ben. He has a big chip on his shoulder he made some bad decision in his life, he also dealing with the death of his brother and feeling like a total screwup. He thinks of he does enough good deed he can make amends for all of his wrong doing. Overall a good read. I’m a total sucker for second chances at love story so I’m glad both Ben and Delilah got the HEA they deserve. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
I loved this book! The title is so fitting. Ben is working towards redemption for his past actions and falls in love with a hardworking woman and her baby in the process. This is a great read and I recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal romance. I won this book in a Facebook giveaway but the book was at the top of my wish list anyway.
