*ARC Review*

Rhea is trying to heal after escaping her past. She is excited to make a new career move until she meets her broody new coworker. Devon keeps his walls up high after a tragic loss. They both have grief, secrets, past trauma, and life they have to overcome in the hopes that they get a shot at romance. 

Thank you for the opportunity to read Redemption early! I love a secret identity, but when you add in the grumpy sunshine and broody MMC - Redemption made a solid storyline. I did feel like both Devon and Rhea were both a little back and forth with their feelings and emotions and it made it hard to connect with them. I liked how Jordyn Ellery wrote major plot twists and turns into the story early on and not just leading up to one main event. Although this makes following the events crucial, it added something different to this book. Even with the slow burn of the romance there was still enough action to keep my interest. Overall good read! 

As always, check for TW’s and happy reading!
