This book is just amazing!
It can be read as a stand alone but i will definetly go back and read the other two because i had questions and it seems that the answers are in those books.
I love a second chance and redemption romance and this was a great treat.
I loved teh writing,the way the author is making these characters so reliable,so much as one of our friends,with flaws and insecurities and every thought and emotion that one could have when thinking at their past mistakes and what or how they whant their future to look like and with whom.
Their story goes back to their teenage period and as anyone at that age they made mistakes that now needs to be redeemed as we can see how much they sufferes and how much the want to be a couple because honestly,the way the author has written this story,there isn't any doubt that they are meant for each other.
Read ,reveal in it and review it because it's a great book.

In previous books I disliked Sasha. Now that I read her whole story and see the amount of pain and guilt she carried from the past I completely change my stance on her. She's a strong character that always puts Dakota first even above herself. And I love the change in Jay too. It's a great story.

Marley Valentine has once again written a story that grabbed me from the first few pages and did not let go. Rectify was truly a sensational book and so beautifully written. It is a tale of self-discovery, finding your own self-worth and learning to love yourself.

Sasha and Jay’s story is a complicated one. They have a past that goes way back to their teenage years and is a tale of poor choices and decisions, mistakes and regrets and hurt and pain. Sasha and Jay go on an epic emotional journey together as they seek to forgive and make up for their losses. Their path to their own happily ever after was a joy to read. Individually they grow, recognise their own mistakes and learn from them.

This was such an outstanding read and I absolutely loved it. Marley Valentine has been a must-read author of mine since I discovered Reclaim and with Rectify she has only cemented herself as an author to watch because she has pure talent and definitely deserves every praise and acknowledgement she gets for creating this wonderful series and her incredible storytelling.

*5 Stars*

Really didn't think I was going to like the main characters in this, but Marley sure turned them around. Full of more secrets from the past, more family dynamics, and plenty of personal growth, this was another addictive book in this series.

It's also left open a spot for another book, which I really can't wait for. So many interesting characters in this series, and I have absolutely loved reading it. Highly recommend.

This was a really good book and I enjoyed it from start to finish! This is the first one I have read in the series so I probably had a different view on things not knowing what had previously happened with both Jagger and Hendrix Michael’s whose lives Sasha seemed to revolve around.

Sasha was a character who had obviously been through so much in the past and that shaped her into the person she was today with her dedication to her work and to her daughter Dakota. She still held onto the Hendrix brothers as they were family but both had moved on and Sasha never really had.

Jay Evans had come back into town for his brother Leroy and was a single father to Lily. I initially had no idea the depths to his relationship with Sasha but as the book went on you learn about how much tension there was between everyone and why. To me I thought he had grown up and was ready to reclaim Sasha but there was a lot in the past.

It was obvious that things had never been resolved between Jay and Sasha and there was so much sexual tension between the two of them. I really enjoyed the confessions between the two of them as to why they ended and it was definitely sad to read but understandable for teenagers.

The scene in the hospital was so filled with tension and I was sitting at the edge of my seat and then my heart just shattered for poor Jay.

The very end was awesome and I was so happy with Sasha’s decision!!

I think I now need to go back and read the other stories!

Rectify by Marley Valentine is book 3 in the Redemption series. It's a contemporary romance series and Rectify focuses on Sasha and her daughter Dakota, Jay and his daughter Lily and Jay and Sasha's relationship with each other.
It took me a while to warm up to these characters but I could appreciate their journeys in the end.
It does pull on some emotional heartstrings and there is tonnes of angst and sexual tension/chemistry.
