Sweet Redemption by Olivia Peters
Twist of Fate #1
Debut author Olivia Peters had created a book that has a poor child made rich who then finds herself living the life her father envisioned for the family. Her father came from a poor background, did well and then…lost sight of what was truly important. When called on his methods by Trevor he pushed him away, threatened him and set his daughter, Olivia, up for a difficult situation. Okay…sitting here thinking about it…why would a parent put his dreams before those of his child? I guess I sort of understand this but…not really. Her father seemed to want to further his own ambitions, irregardless. I mean…why would a father not take into account his daughter’s dreams? Olivia wanted ballet, her father wanted something else…she lost herself in some ways and then later found herself in other ways. Olivia ends up questioning her goals and wants and her father’s aspirations for her and in the midst of this turmoil meets a man that will bring her a HEA that she has always wanted. Although…it won’t be an easy journey for either of them.
Well written, thought provoking, a journey…always hoped the H/h would find their HEA.
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
3-4 Stars
I really enjoyed this read, the book is well written and you get curious about the characters from the start. I did need to read a bit before I was fully onboard Trevor’s plan to seek revenge over Brooklyn’s father. But I wanted to know the FULL story behind his hate for the man. A father who thinks he knows what’s best for his daughter, very controlling and never really sees his own daughter for who she is. It is a fabulous first book the author has written here, and I’m looking forward to read more from her.
The characters were interesting, and compelling. The instant spark between them intensified along the story and plot. Neither of them is able to resist the other. The hot passionate steamy scenes was very well written and you could feel the fire between them.
I did try real hard to like Brooklyn’s friend, but not sure she connected to my heart in this. I could be interested to read her story, she does strike me as a character that could evolve and change if she found her own big and forever love.
Trevor wants to take down Brooklyn’s dad for a past deed. She is stuck in a relationship that has no passion. There are a lot of secrets, but some major decisions are going to have to be made. This is deep and moving and just shows how you have control over how you handle difficult decisions. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
Trigger warning: cheating.
To choose a life of unhappiness and fortune over a life of love? That’s the dilemma Brooklyn faced. Everything instilled in her about what she needs to do with her life to be successful was slowly drowning her, until Trevor. Trevor turned her life upside down, but will his motives break her further?
I absolutely loved Trevor from the start, Brooklyn was a little harder for me to connect with. There was a lot of back and forth with what she should be doing and what she wanted. The sacrifices she was making of her own happiness out of guilt and fear of the what/if were making me want to shake her. But a lifetime of “this is what is best for you” being drilled into your head will do that to a person.
Trevor is exactly the stuff a book boyfriend should be made of. Strong, sexy, and complicated, this man can use me to screw my dad over any day. Seriously, though, this book had a great story, great push and pull on the romance aspect, and plenty of well-developed characters. Unfortunately I wasn’t Brooklyn’s biggest fan, as she couldn’t seem to make decisions for her own happiness to save her life (almost literally), and though Trevor thought of her as making him into a better man, I really think he did the same for her. And did I mention the sexy parts are smoking hot? In short, a fantastic read all around.
Brooklyn has a terrific life – money, wonderful fiancee, great family – but it’s not the life she wants. Trevor has had a really tough life – growing up poor, he’s blamed Arch for most of the problems his family’s been through, and he’s hell-bent on revenge. And what better revenge than to ruin Arch’s daughter, Brooklyn. The one thing he never planned was falling in love with her. They were on a slow burn, and then boom!! I’m not a huge fan of Jake, but he certainly was wronged in all of this. I’ve also never been a fan of cheating (having had my own first marriage destroyed by it). It was a good book, well written, with characters that belong together.

Sweet Redemption by Olivia Peters is book One in the Twist of Fate Series. This is the story of Trevor and Brooklyn.
Brooklyn had dreams of being a ballerina but her father has other thoughts for her and has set in motion a marriage of convenience…which she feel she has to do. Then she meets Trevor who wakes up feelings that she didn’t know she could feel. Trevor hates Brooklyn’s father and blames him for what happen to his family so when he gets the change to get some revenge through Brooklyn he takes the chance. But what he never counted on was the feelings he has now for Brooklyn and seeing what he really wants.
Enjoyed their story and hope to read more from this new author.
A sexy, gritty read! Fantastic debut from Olivia!
Brooklyn has been with Jake for years but she’s starting to realise there’s more to living than what she’s doing. With a rich, overbearing father, a clueless, work obsessed partner and a career that she never really wanted, Brooklyn’s eyes are been opened to what her life is shaping up to be like and she’s not sure it’s what she wants.
Trevor has wanted to get his revenge on Brooklyn’s father for years and he knows the easiest way to do that is through his precious daughter Brooklyn. What starts off as a plan for revenge soon changes when he discovers Brooklyn isn’t what he was expecting and he finds himself spending more time with her. It’s not long before the connection between them makes him question his plan and what he’s going to do now he’s developing feelings.
I know a lot of people don’t like cheating in books but I’m one of those that love it. If it’s done right. Olivia Peters manages to make you understand what the characters are feeling and understand why they feel the need to take the roads they do. Don’t get me wrong there were times these characters really frustrated me. Brooklyn for letting things go to keep others happy at the cost of her own dreams and happiness and for been a bit of a walk over, Trevor for been so hell bent on revenge that he’s willing to hurt innocent people to get what he wants but overall I found something about both characters that I really liked.
Sweet Redemption was hard to put down. It’s full of secrets, betrayal, lies, drama and chemistry. The characters weren’t anything like I was expecting and I was really hoping Brooklyn was going to make the right choice. A really good debut book by this author and I can’t wait to read more from her.
SWEET REDEMPTION (Twist of Fate 1)
By Olivia Peters
Olivia Peters delivers such a strong debut novel. I was hooked from the beginning to the very end. There is cheating in this book which is normally a hard limit for me but it was done in a way where you don’t know to find it as cheating. It is almost a Friends type of situation where “we were on a break” type of argument.
Brooklyn and Trevor couldn’t be more opposite but their chemistry and connection were off the charts. There was plenty of steam and drama throughout the book.
Sweet Redemption will have you captivated. Olivia Peters does not disappoint. This is a must read!
Olivia Peters is a new author to me as this is her debut book.
I have to say she wrote an incredible book that got me hooked right away and kept me interested throughout the whole book!
Right away I knew I was going to love Brooklyn as a heroine. I loved how she had her dreams and passion but hated that she was kept from following them. She didn’t come from money but is new money and she still doesn’t know how to feel about that. She was very humble, kind and sweet. You could just tell she loved with her whole heart!
Then comes Trevor….and holy moly was he a GREAT hero!! He had a kind of mysterious side to him. Didn’t know what his plans fully were til he did them. He didn’t expect to fall for his enemies daughter but he did and HARD! When he did it was so sweet to see him start to change but when she finds out what he did, can he keep her forever or will he turn out like his dad?
I loved everything about this book. It was different than most enemies to lovers romance but I liked that about it. It mixed things up and kept me craving more! I still need more Trevor and Brooklyn. I hope there is more of them in the other books in this series!
% recommend this book!!

Sweet Redemption by Olivia Peters is a seductive and riveting read! I love a good forbidden romance, and debut author, Olivia Peters, was certainly up to the task! Expect scorching hot chemistry, secrets, betrayal, and a connection sure to burn up your kindle! Combined with repaired family-bonds, redemption, and a journey to follow one’s dreams, Sweet Redemption is a well rounded read!
If elements of infidelity or instalove are not your thing then Sweet Redemption isn’t the read for you. I didn’t mind the element of cheating, but had hoped for more angst in Brooklyn’s decisions and behavior. I absolutely loved Trevor’s character, but did struggle to connect with Brooklyn.
If you’re looking for a read to suck you in, and not let go, one-click Sweet Redemption by Olivia Peters today!
At first congratulations Olivia to your first hot as hell book .
I loved every second of it .
The story has a very interesting plot, is exciting and very emotional.
Sweet Redemption shows
an absurd world of rich businessmen and their women, who are at the mercy of the men surrounding them.
A story that begins as an act of revenge and develops into a wonderful love story with a lot of drama and heartbreaking emotions (By now you already know that I love drama, right? )
What begins with a lie, and revenge, evolves into flight from the golden cage to a future where money plays no role and love dictates life.
Even though Brooklyn made me scream several times, because she just couldn’t decide what she wants for herself and was really naive at times, her character and behavior has given the story the feeling of the brainwashing she has endured her entire life.
Trevor is the complete opposite. He has never experienced what it is like to have a lot of money. His life was a nightmare from the beginning. That’s why he dedicated his life to revenge.
Well, when you love drama, heartbreak and pure motions, then you’ve to read this book.
Trevor and Brooklyn’s story in Sweet Redemption may start a little slow to grip you but hang in, because once it does there will be no putting this one down. A story of forgiveness in so many ways that will at times have you teetering on the edge of which person is in the right and who is in the wrong. One thing I will tell you is the passion in this book is seriously hot, even the kissing scenes will take you to the very edge. This debut novel by Olivia Peters shows this lady has what it takes to bring romance readers to their knees.
