Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Redemption
Contemporary Romance, Small Town, Single Dad, Nanny, Virgin Heroine
When she started on the path to her new life, she never could have guessed where it would lead her.
Deva Kent spent most of her life dreaming of escaping. She hated being forced to live among the Fellowship of the Enlightened, the small community closed off from the rest of the world, and was desperate to spread her wings and discover something new. When she applied to be a nanny for a single father and his two-year-old son, the Fellowship wasn’t happy, but she knew that was her fresh start. However, she never thought she’d end up falling for the man with more baggage than he could carry and storm clouds in his eyes.
Laeth Harker’s world fell off its axis the morning a past one-night-stand showed up on his doorstep with a son he knew nothing about in tow. He barely had his own life together and didn’t know the first thing about caring for a child. But after spending most of his life screwing everything up, he was determined to do right by his own flesh and blood. He just didn’t know where to start.
When Laeth hired Deva on as his son’s nanny, she was supposed to make his life easier. But the way he felt about her was the very definition of complicated.
Their feelings might have started off at a slow burn, but once it catches, it’s hot enough to set the world on fire.
**The Redemption series is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**
***5 ‘#TeamDeva’ Stars***
This was an awesome read. I laughed, cried, growled and totally felt my ovaries pop from all the goodness in here. There was just the right amount of everything my book loving heart loves and kept me turning the pages until the very end.
Obviously I adored Deva. She might me naive about the modern world thanks to how she was raised, but she definitely knows her own mind and what she wants. I loved how honest she was about who she was and who she wanted to be and how she went about making it happen. And then there is Laeth…don’t get me wrong I ended up loving the guy, and I understood why he felt the need to toe that line to self destruction, but there were quite a few moments where I wanted to Gibbs smack him with a 2x4. But in the end, he was all kinds of goodness in all the ways that matter the most.
Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun to experience. They didn’t start off on the best foot (total understatement) but I liked how Deva kept him on his toes and by doing so brought out the protective alpha male that he was. The chemistry was there, but as they were both trying to deny it, it only grew exponentially and the explosion was intense in all ways. But the person who truly brought them together was Cash, this little guy was too adorable for words and he simply brought out the best in both of them. Now while there isn’t any major angst, there was one bump that actually had me wanting to Gibbs smack another person for instigating it, but I like the way it was dealt with in the end.
This was a great addition to the series and while the angst and drama are on the low end of the scale, there are some situations that aren’t that pretty and could be triggering but they are important to the storyline. But, as always, I loved getting to hang out and catch up with the Redemption crew, In this one we get a bit more of worlds colliding and new connections are made. And speaking of new…Lyric and Holton (who may not be new to Redemption but is new to me…I think ~ gah! I read too many books) and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for them!

CRAZY BEAUTIFUL
Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.
Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.
In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.
Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
