6 Finding Redemption Stars
I have mad-love for this series. Just when I didn’t think it could get any better, IT DOES. Redemption Road is a standalone and is part of the Vicious Cycle series. Each book will focus on a MC brother (they are blood brothers too).
Redemption Road is Rev and Annabel’s story.
Katie Ashley really hit the mark for me on this one. I loved Vicious Cycle and I was really excited for Rev’s story. I loved Rev in the first book because he’s a tortured character I just want to find more about. The thing that really worked for me from Redemption Road was the story-line. It was beautiful, sad and all around addictive to read. My heart melted so many times and I seriously wanted to re-read the book after I finished.
Rev is one of the Malloy brothers. He has a dark dark, really dark past. When I started Redemption Road, I was hit in the face with Rev’s past. I was really shocked and I hate to say, instantly hooked. That alone set the tone for the read and I couldn’t ask for a better start. I just felt for Rev, deep in my bones and I knew he would be my kind of Hero.
Annabel is an adorable vet. She has rich parents, but strives to do things on her own. She has a rebellious side to her and unfortunately it cost her. Something happens to Annabel and just like Rev, they both share trouble past.
I love Annabel; she is the sweet against Rev’s roughness. I love how different, yet the same they are. Both Annabel and Rev have terrible things they need to overcome and Rev understands Annabel completely. He understands her pain, fears and problems and because of that, I love him so much! He works really hard to put Annabel back together. Gah, it will make you swoon for him like crazy.
“Was Rev really a knight in shining armor or had I once again met a wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
“After everything I’ve been through, sometimes it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that a man like you even exists.”
Annabel is a big mess, as she should be and you will feel for her too. She wants to be normal again and she allow Rev to help her. But as Rev continues to work with Annabel, he knows he doesn’t want a relationship. He just doesn’t work that way.
This book is very much like a fairytale romance. I felt like Rev was this dark, but troubled Hero and Annabel was the damsel in distress that needed a Hero to save her. As Rev tries to save Annabel, Rev still has things he needs to overcome.
I can’t stress enough how much I loved this one and how much I love this series. It was a start to finish instant success for me.

Excerpt
“What are you doing?”
“Getting you into the shower.” At what must’ve been my skeptical expression, he added, “It’s the fastest way to get you warm.”
“I see,” I murmured.
He made quick work of turning on the water and testing it with his fingers. When it seemed to his satisfaction, he turned back to me. I still sat on the toilet, shivering and trembling.
We stared at each other for a moment. Rev jerked a hand through his hair. “Yeah, uh, I guess I better let you get in now.”
When he started to go, I grabbed his arm. “Wait. I need help getting out of this dress.”
His eyes flared at my request. It wasn’t a come-on in disguise. I had needed the help of one of our maids earlier tonight to get it zipped. Instead of asking me to stand up, Rev bent over my back, bringing his hands to the zipper. Slowly, he tugged it down.
As the front gaped open, I didn’t bother trying to cover myself.
Rev’s hands momentarily faltered, and when I looked up, I met his gaze, which was staring at my bare breasts. I hadn’t needed to wear a bra because of the tight-fitting bodice. He cleared his throat several times, then tugged the zipper the rest of the way down.
There was not a doubt in my mind, heart, or body about how much I wanted him. I knew he expected me to want to take things slow in the sex department, but that’s not how I felt. Regardless of the ghosts of the past, I wanted him more than I had ever wanted any man. I wanted him to be the one who proved to me that sex was physically and emotionally safe. That it could be a loving act between two consenting people.
But with the roller coaster of feelings rocketing through me, it was more about an all-consuming lust and desire.
When Rev stepped back from me, I rose to my feet. The dress slid down my body and pooled at my feet, leaving me in only my panties. Both empowerment and vulnerability raced through me.
“Rev, I want you to look at me.” He shook his head and kept his gaze on the floor. “I said I want you to look at me,” I repeated.
“That’s not what this is about. It’s about you getting warm before you catch pneumonia,” he countered.
“I could care less about getting sick. Right now what I care about is seeing the man I love want me sexually. To look at me like he wants to devour me.”
His eyes, which burned with lust and unfilled desire, snapped to mine. “How can you ever doubt even for a second how I feel about you?”
I threw my hands up. “Because I’m standing practically naked before you and you won’t fucking look at me!”
“We’re both teetering at the edge of uncharted territory. After everything you’ve been through, I would rather die than hurt you.”
“You hurt me more when you won’t look at me or touch me,” I protested.
With an agonized sigh, Rev finally allowed his gaze to rake down my body. There was no feeling of embarrassment or inadequacy. Just the look on his face warmed me from head to toe. “You’re so beautiful,” he murmured.
Tears stung my eyes from his adoration. “I am?” I questioned.
He smiled. “Every inch of you.”
