Meh, after the last book, Redeemed has something missing. Maybe it is just too predictable, or maybe it’s just a lame way to end an otherwise enjoyable series.

Tropes/Themes:

fake dating, one bed, spicy bet, redemption, healing from trauma, millionaire, disability rep, and a bit of found family

I liked this book more than I thought I would. And not because I didn't like the others (I obviously wouldn't have made it to book four if I hated them). They were 5☆, 4.25☆, and 5☆. And this is also a 5☆. It's pretty much underheard of for me to have three 5☆ in a series but I loved it.

I bought physical copies of them all before I even got to book three. I'm not usually a sports romance person but it's honestly one of my new favourite series. I haven't even started Dreamland Billionaires but it doesn't matter, Lauren Asher is now an instant buy author for me. 

Onto the book though...like I said, I liked it more than I expected to. I feel like the last book in an interconnected standalone can often be the least favourite or least consequential person in the friend group but that was definitely not the case with Redeemed. Santiago and Chloe's story felt just as fleshed out, if not more so, as the other couples. I loved seeing the disability rep, both the negative and positive moments. The inclusion feels authentic and natural. 

No spoilers of course but...I sobbed like a baby at the end of the book (in a good way). I've often been called overemotional but I think it was totally justified. All in all, if you're in a slump or just want a good cry, this'll be perfect for you.

This series is incredible. I highly recommend this read, but it’s my advice to read the books in order. Start with Throttled, then Collided, then Wrecked, then Redeemed. I wasn’t expecting to love this book as much as I did. Without spoiling, I will say that my father has the exact same disability as a character in this book so I was nervous. But it was handled with great care, and this book surprisingly became by favorite of the series (closely followed by Collided). The grumpy/sunshine trope is executed great here, and I’m sad the series has come to an end (though I did read we might be getting a 2nd generation series!)
