Redemption {a review}



Why hello there my reader friends,

Minutes ago I finished reading Redemption by Laura Lee, and oh my heart. This story was so good! SO GOOD! This book is part of the Salvation Society created by Corinne Michaels. Now prior to reading Redemption, I had to look that up to see what the Salvation Society exactly is. Here's what I learned.

The Salvation Society is a collection of books written by various authors, based on the bestselling novels by Corinne Michaels. Each story is a complete standalone that is filled with Navy SEALs, strong heroines, suspense, and most of all...love.

So basically what I'm thinking that I need to go read the Salvation series by Corinne Michaels, and then read all of the Salvation Society books. 🤣 Okay maybe not, but it sounds like fun to me. I see there are 7 books in the Salvation series, and at least 30 in the Society. Ooh, that would take me quite some time. Maybe that isn't such an attainable goal. But there are SEALs, and strong female characters! Not to mention suspense! I love a good romantic suspense story.

Back to Redemption...

If you're unfamiliar with Redemption, it is a second chance romance where the couple were high school sweethearts. Really though their story starts when they were 5, and they had just met for the first time. This book is full of romance, heart ache, and pain (so much pain).

Honestly I cannot even fully put this book into words. Everything that Presley has been through in the last 12 years is just gut wrenching. Add in what Beckett has gone through, not that we know everything but the basics were covered, and my heart. These two have been through so much since they went their separate ways.

What has Presley been through? Well, she's married to a powerful man named Sebastian. What he has put Presley through is absolutely horrible. No one should have to experience that.

There is so much I want to say, but I have to reign it in. I don't want to spoil anything. What I can tell you is that I was rooting for Presley and Beckett to find their way back to each other. I also kept wondering when Sebastian was going to show up, and what sort of chaos he was going to cause. I will say that while the ending was what I expected it to be, I also had pictured some aspects a little differently. 

One last thing, I am hoping that Laura Lee is going to tell the Clayton and Nicky's story. I feel that it needs to be told. Fine, maybe I'm just nosy.

Thank you for reading,


Scroll a little further to read the teaser for Redemption. I've also included a link to add the book to your Goodreads TBR, as well as a link for Amazon. Kindle Unlimited subscribers, it's looking like this book is included in your subscription at no cost. Yay you!



I fell in love with Beckett Armstrong before either one of us knew what that meant. He was my first kiss. My first love.

My entire world.

We promised each other forever, and we meant it wholeheartedly. But unfortunately, when tragedy struck, love wasn't nearly enough to save us.

Little did we know...it would only get worse from there.

Twelve years later, Beckett and I wear our scars like finely crafted armor. We've been in survival mode for so long, we've forgotten how to live. After everything we've endured, can we move beyond the pain to forge a future together?

Or are we destined to repeat the mistakes of our past?

About the author:


Laura Lee is the USA Today bestselling author of steamy and sometimes ridiculously funny romance.

She won her first writing contest at the ripe old age of nine, earning her a trip to the state capital to showcase her manuscript. Thankfully for her, those early works will never see the light of day again!

Laura lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, two beautiful children, and three of the most poorly behaved cats in existence. She likes her fruit smoothies filled with rum, her cupboards stocked with Cadbury's chocolate, and her music turned up loud.

When she's not writing or watching HGTV, she's reading anything she can get her hands on. She's a sucker for spicy romances, especially those that maker her laugh.
