Something Like
Redemption (Book #2)
Synopsis
Some secrets are best left
untold...
Mia
Lee escaped to the sleepy little town of South Boston, Virginia with the intent
to be normal, and to find a place she could call home.
Sadly
for Mia, her past has come back with a vengeance, and forced her to flee yet
again.
This time, however, she’s
not alone…
Mia
and Quinn are on the run, fleeing for their lives, while attempting to prove
their innocence for a crime they did not commit.
But with a tainted past like
Mia’s, it was inevitable that one day, it was going to catch up to her in a way
she never fathomed.
One
ill-fated decision leads to an explosion of unimaginable events, and now Mia
and Quinn are not only running for their lives, but also, for their redemption.
My Review
OMG… so I don’t even know where to start with this review. Have you ever read one of those books where
there is so much you want to say but
then you don’t want to say too much and give away all the juicy awesome parts
of the story…yeah that is my dilemma.
Something Like Redemption picks up right from the point where
Something Like Normal ended. Mia’s past
makes an appearance placing both her and Quinn on the run, hopping from one
place to the next. With Mia’s past always one step behind her and the police
also on their tail, Mia and Quinn have to determine who they can trust as well
as learning how to trust each other.
For all you action seekers who loved the thrills of the first
book do not get disappointed as this book though it has its thrilling moments
is not heavily focused on the action. This book is all about Mia and Quinn’s
relationship with each other. Their fears, their heartache, their past and the
decisions that will impact their future.
I loved this story. I
love the strength and passion of Mia and Quinn. Mia is headstrong and
determined to ensure that the people she loves don’t get hurt so much so that
she is willing to do everything in her power to push them away. But there is a problem with her plan because
Quinn is also stubborn and determined to stay right by her side no matter the
cost. Mia has never had anyone care for her like Quinn, never had the safety of
someone’s arms around her or the peace that comes with Quinn’s presence. It’s
new to her, scary, frustrating, heartbreaking and simply amazing. In Something
Like Redemption we see Mia embrace this new part of her life that is Quinn. After
much struggle of course and though she has her moments of doubt and insecurity
we see Mia begin to accept what she deserves; the love and protection that
Quinn is so willing to offer her.
And Quinn, he has never faltered in his efforts to be with Mia,
his feelings for her are so strong they literally leap off the page and squeeze
your heart. Despite Quinn’s hard exterior we get to see so many sides of him in
Something Like Redemption. We see his compassion, his fear, his love and just
how much he is willing to sacrifice for Mia, to keep her safe. We also get some
more clues into the past that Quinn has been so hell bent on keeping a secret.
We begin to see how Quinn is struggling with his inner demons and though he
cares for Mia deeply he is not convinced that he deserves her.
This title of this book is so appropriate as this entire story
is about these two lost souls Mia and Quinn trying to redeem themselves and
make up for the ill choices they have made in the past. For Mia, Quinn is her ray of hope; he offers
her a home for her heart and promises to keep it safe. For Quinn, Mia is a ray
of light in his darkness. A chance for him to protect what matters the most to
him even if it means giving up his own life in the process.
The character development in this book is phenomenal, it’s rare
when you get a whole book in a series dedicated to just building on the relationship
between two characters. It gives you
such an inside view into what these characters are feeling; making you that
much more invested in what happens to them in the future and what they may have
to endure. This book will still give you that thrill of the chase with some of
its plot twist and turns, and you will still find yourself blushing and getting
all hot and bothered by some of the hot intimate moment between Quinn and Mia.
But this book will also leave you with something else; it will leave you with a
warmth spread over your heart and a hope that Quinn and Mia will finally find
Something Like Redemption.
