They
say you can’t go home again. Jared Crowe never wanted to.
Home meant facing memories of abuse and neglect. Of dark closets and evil nightmares. Of his own relatives intent on killing him. But now his brother’s kidnapping forces him to face those demons. Only this time, Jared isn’t a scared little boy. He’s a full-grown Special Forces operative bent on revenge.
As a little girl, Sparrow Pickney risked her life to free two abused boys. As a grown woman Sparrow needs to earn a place in her adopted family’s business or be forced into a life of degradation. The chance to prove her family loyalty comes when she catches Jared spying on the compound and captures him.
When Jared sees his captor, he realizes she’s the girl of his dreams and vows to rescue her from a life of poverty. What Jared doesn’t know is Sparrow may not be the savior he remembers…but the one responsible for abducting and torturing his brother.
Jared is determined to find the truth. But that truth may be more than his heart can take.

Redemption River
"Hey." His Southern drawl put Matthew McConaughey to shame. Slow. Sexy. And familiar.
Her gaze traveled up the
muscled torso to a pair of dark chocolate-brown eyes.
Holy crap.
"Hunter James."
His name breathed past her lips on a whisper.
For the second time that
night her heart stuttered and her stomach clenched tight.
Hunter blocked her path,
his towering six-foot-four frame packaged in a tight-fitting black T-shirt and
jeans that showcased his muscles. His arms had to be twice the size they were
the last time he’d been here. His gaze twice as intense. Her reaction twenty
times that.
According to the town
gossips, he’d been back in Mercy for a couple of weeks, but so far he’d avoided
her. And she’d prayed daily he would stay away. Every time he came home on
leave, he seemed to make it a point to show up here. At her bar. With another
woman on his arm. Making sure she saw he’d moved on. And each time her heart
broke a little more.
"Need some
help?" he asked.
Her brain took a full
minute to kick into gear, then another minute to reconnect to her mouth.
"What?"
"You look like you
could use some help. Can I do anything?" His serious voice passed through
lips that were way too tempting.
She couldn't think. The
man standing before her had gone AWOL with her heart over five years ago, like
the tail end of a twister after a storm. Part of her had been happy he'd left.
The other part had been devastated. Their love had been wild and crazy, but
ultimately destructive.
She noticed the knotted
wood cane leaning against the table beside him. "What's with the
cane?"
Hunter grinned and shifted
his weight to the side. "What's with the wet clothes?" He
extinguished his cigarette and stepped away from the doorway leading to the
upstairs apartment, his limp noticeable.
Evie crossed her arms over
her chest, the action squeezing more beer out of her bra. Her lips pressed into
a tight line and she forced herself to answer, "Wet T-shirt contest. It's
a new thing we’re trying."
Evie straightened her
arms, clenching and unclenching her fists at her sides in time with the ticking
in his jaw. A couple day’s stubble graced the hard planes of his face, only a
little shorter than the black hair buzzed close to his scalp. He looked as if
he’d been chiseled from steel.
Hunter leaned in close and
Evie's stomach knotted. Lust built inside her, pushing against her dam of
resistance. "I bet you won."
He wasn't staring at her
chest, she had to give him that. No, his target appeared to be her mouth. His
head lowered to hers and her mind went blank. If she had been thinking like a
full-grown woman, she would have jerked back before his lips made contact. But
tonight her brain had pointed and aimed but failed to fire.
Redemption River, Book 1
I was hooked from the first chapter and could not put it down! Fast paced, steamy romantic suspense with plenty of action in and out of the sheets. As they race against against the clock to save Evie's mom and stop the weapons from getting into to the wrong hands, they explore both their attraction and their feelings. It's heavy on the sex and action and a bit lighter on the romance. Plenty of characters are introduced and I'm looking forward to their stories as well as as how the mission continues. Reviews for the next two books books will be posted in the next couple of days.
I received an ARC for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
