Reviews with content warning for Car accident - Redeemed

i started this book ten hours ago, and yes i took breaks in between reading but its currently 1:15am and i’ve just finished the series and HOLY SHIT i wasnt prepared for this to be over. santi’s journey is such a fucking inspiring one, and honestly he’s a crazy admirable character. chloe was also such a strong woman i love her. the extended epilogue had me crying i can’t lie, it took me a while to compose myself to talk about it, but the found family in this book is like no other ive read and its a guarantee that i won’t stop thinking about these characters for a LONG time. thank you lauren asher, and roll on the dirty heirs series !!!!!

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.
