Book Review: Resisting Redemption

8:00 AM 0 Comments
This is the third book in a series where the plot points carry over. All plot points will be resolved by book FIVE - the end of the series.
This is a sweet style romance.

With her heart at war with her mind, Lisa’s need to chase dangerous fun over boring responsibilities tugs at her emotions. Love is the last thing she expects to find, especially with her past revolting against her future.

The only love Ryan’s heart has room for is for his motherless son. But, when he finds himself yearning for Lisa, Ryan has to convince himself and her that he’s all the thrill she’ll ever need.

Will Lisa’s past destroy their future before either of them can accept the true meaning of love?

========================
Let me start out by reminding everyone that this is the 3rd book in a 5 part series. Before you read this one, make sure you've read Romancing Redemption and Riding for Redemption. These are the first two books in the series and since this one picks up pretty much where they leave off, I think you'll thank me for it. Personally, I'm glad that we got to find out Lisa's story. It was good to see her softer side and not just the aloof personality that we had seen up until this point. Honestly, y'all know by now that I'm a big fan of Bonnie's. It can be quite a stretch to find something in one of her books that I don't care for and for this book, it's only me being unsure that Jesse (who was born with spina bifida) could walk unaided the way he does in this part of the tale. Since that's not even close to a deal breaker, I suggest you pick up Bonnie's latest because who doesn't need some good romance in their life?

Book Review: Riding for Redemption

8:30 AM 0 Comments
Desperate to find her place in the world, Sara Beth dreams of applying for the Miss Wrangler Montana competition that tours with the rodeo circuit.
Riding horses has become her anchor until a near fatal accident takes more from her than she’d ever willingly sacrifice.
Determined to prove his business training, Johnny seeks out the Rourke family to call in an old favor. When he embroils himself in Sara Beth’s life, he has to prove they’re nothing more than friends.
Seeking independence, both Sara Beth and Johnny lean on each other more and more, until love threatens their friendship. Will they seek out each other or be confused by their dreams?
Can either of them leave their past and embrace their future?

======================================

Have you ever found an author that you're pretty sure can do no wrong? Bonnie R. Paulson might just be one of those authors for me. No matter which of her books I pick up, I find myself reading way too late into the night. Then, I find myself groggily attempting to be functional the next day with negative amounts of regret. With this book, it picks right up where Romancing Redemption leaves off, so make sure that you pick that one up first and give it a read! Then, dive right into this one and then right into the third book in the series. Trust me, if you love romance with well developed characters that just continue to grow, you're going to love this entire series.

Hold onto your hat because with this 7 part series, you are in for one heck of a ride.  When I first started reading this series, I wasn't sure how I was going to enjoy it. The next thing I knew, I'd finished episode 5 and was scrambling to upload the rest of the series to my kindle. Then, I didn't put it down until I'd finished it. The story is fast paced and you really get into Molly's head and can feel her fear and emotional rollercoaster. I don't want to give anything away, so I'm just going to say that Bonnie Paulson has never let me down and though I was at first sceptical, she didn't with this series either!

Book Review: Romancing Redemption

12:00 PM 0 Comments
Facing a life of prostitution or homelessness, Rosie must make a choice centered on keeping her and her sister safe in the wilds of an unforgiving Montana land. With their background, the two girls need a fresh start.

In Colby, Montana opportunities are as thick as needles on a pine tree. Savvy and independent, Rosie decides to take a chance and start a business, earning her the respect of many town residents.
She catches the eye of two men. One interested in exploiting her past and one interested in redeeming her heart.

But Rosie’s secrets and who she really is shadow her hopes for happiness. Can a man love her most when her past refuses to leave?

============================

This book wasn't what I was thinking that it was going to be. First of all, I was expecting this to take place in the 1900s or more of an 'Old West' time period. In fact, for the first chapter, I wasn't sure when it was taking place. I kept flipping back to the front page to be sure it didn't say. Turns out that it's a modern day romance. Other than that, I only had one problem with the book. ..and I warn you that this is a bit of a spoiler, but not much. Rosie is very worried about her past and the type of person people think she may be and yet, she's very forward with Michael. Oops. That was more of a teaser than a spoiler, wasn't it? Well, I guess you'll just have to buy the book to find out what's happening there. All in all, a quick and easy read that sadly did have a "to be continued" type ending. With any luck, the next four books in this series will come my way and I can find out the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
