~~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Redemption Lane:

Bess let her pain take over her life and it almost destroys her. Years later she has made her life very structured and she has no plans of changing it, but is she really living? Lane is a CEO who has one woman on his mind and that is the woman who collapsed in front of him years ago. Bess doesn't remember Lane but he remembers her. Bess's secret isn't the only one Lane is struggling with. What will happen when Bess finds out all his secrets? Isn't better to push her away now, he clearly doesn't deserve her. Will Bess and Lane find their redemption road within each other?

Wow! What can I say about this book, it blew me away. Lane and Bess both have strong ideas of what their lives should be. They both want each other. They both are insecure about their lives and their past. It was a beautiful story about letting that person in your life and allowing yourself forgiveness. There were twists in this story that I never saw happening. Great story. A must read book and I can't wait to read Absolution Road, the second book in this duet. This was my first book by this author and I have to say that it won't be my last.

Absolution Road:

I have to say I loved this book more than the first one in this duet set. Jake is so much more tortured by the past than Lane was. He wanted vindication for what happened to them. When he met his own version of kryptonite in Alyson I loved that I got to see the softer side of him that I was hinted at in Redemption Lane. I did not like Camper at all, I thought she was self-involved and unworthy of being part of Jake's life. Jake is such a strong character but doesn't feel as though he is worthy of anyone's love including his brothers. He feels like he is the screwed up twin and that Lane is perfect with his perfect life. The inner struggle that Jake deals with was heartbreaking but it helped him grow. Then there is Alyson "Aly" and she has her own demons she is struggling with. What happened in this book broke my heart and brought me to tears a couple times over. This story was exciting, maddening, sexy, romantic, jaw dropping and page turning. I didn't want this story to end but I couldn't stop myself from reading the next page. A MUST READ BOOK!!! Strong characters, strong story and amazing relationship.
