REVIEW ➞ Redeemed by Lauren Asher

BLURB ➞

Santiago Alatorre
One mistake destroys my career.
I go from most eligible bachelor to monster, hiding from the world.
At least until Chloe breaks into my home.
My new fake girlfriend is a temporary fix to my biggest problem.
But as our game changes, so do my feelings.
There’s only one issue stopping me from claiming her.
Me.

Chloe Carter
It all started with a birthday wish, some vodka, and an ancestry kit.
That’s how I end up in Italy, finding my long-lost father.
But one decision lands me a fake boyfriend I don’t want.
The more we pretend, the easier our ruse becomes.
I told myself not to fall in love with a liar like Santiago.
I should have listened.


Some kisses stoke a passion. Some kisses heal the soul. Kissing Chloe is a combination of two – the sweetest medicine that leads to a lifelong addiction.


ARC REVIEW ➞

From the moment I read the prologue I knew this story would wreck me. I absolutely love Santi and have since the beginning so I was so happy to see that he was getting a story and this was everything I could have hoped for and so much more.

Santi is struggling after a horrible accident ended his career, well in his mind at least. He is closed off and avoids the public, he is a completely different man.  Chloe, I absolutely love her. She hops on a plane after finding out her father is living in Italy, however, she manages to have a run in with Santi and that’s where things start to get interesting. I loved Santi and Chloe together so much. They have amazing chemistry, they balance each other out and I love that Chloe doesn’t treat him any different just because of who he is.

Chloe is hands down my favorite heroine out of the four books. She is strong, she is a fighter, she is full of sass and she isn’t one to just back down. I want to be her best friend. She took the chance to find out who her father is and she flew across the world to do it. Not many people would take that chance.

Redeemed is hands down my favorite of the series and Santi and Chloe are my favorite couple of the series. Their connection was real and everything between them just felt so natural. While Redeemed is amazing, it is also bittersweet because I am not ready to say goodbye to all these characters that I have fallen in love with but the extended epilogue was perfection for not just Santi and Chloe, but the entire series. I also hope that it was maybe a little preview of things to come (I’m crossing my fingers).

If you’re looking for a fake dating, sports romance with a grumpy hero this is a MUST READ. It can also be read as a standalone but all the other books in the series are amazing so I HIGHLY recommend reading those, too.
