Sulfur Heights Series had always been dark and brooding.
There is always danger lurking around every corner, and if you’re not into
drugs, violence and abuse, you better not start reading. These books are not
for the faint of heart, by the time I reached this book, my heart has been
toughened enough. Because if I thought I have seen the worse, and the vileness
of life – but it was only the tip of the iceberg. I didn’t expect to see the
darker version of Sulfur Heights in the book of the most quiet among the Evans
Brothers, Jeremy.
Can the end justify the means?
It’s a million-dollar question. A lot would have argued. But
all Jeremy wanted was to get his family out of Sulfur Heights, away from all
the troubles, and the demons – away from their past and live their lives
normally. But in order to do that, he needed money. In his desperation to
become normal and get out of Sulfur Heights – he became someone he hated the
most. He went into Sulfur Height’s darkest, most evil place – the underworld.
He built another persona, someone whom I could not fathom that could exist. Way,
way different than who he originally is. At home, he’s still the same Jeremy
who is quiet. But outside, he became someone else. He was vicious, he can kill without
batting an eyelash, and he will do everything, just about everything to have
the money and have it fast for him and his family to get out of Sulfur Heights.
Perhaps the only good thing that came out from this was
Cami. She was untouchable, being the niece of the drug lord of the underworld.
They kept their friendship in private. She’s the only person who knows his
other life, and the only person who he can go to when he needs help. How he
manage to separate both lives in the town as small as Sulfur Heights was nearly
unimaginable, but he was able to. Until the night that ended Presley’s life. This
one incident collided both his worlds, and one world have broke apart.
He wanted to have his freedom. In order to do this, he
has three stipulations that was necessary to have it. Although it was painful
for him, the end was worth it. He was finally going to be free from everything.
He and Cami might have a good future together, and he can finally avenged
Presley’s untimely demise. But, he had to endure the intense hate coming from
his family, especially from Drake.
Part two came a year, or three after he was imprisoned. He
was finally free. What he didn’t expect was to see Cami still in Sulfur
Heights. Cami, she is a great girl, who held on to life and to her faith. I’m a
Catholic, and I appreciate how MS Brannon had weave this story without appearing
to be preachy. Nevertheless, it was her faith who saved her and transformed her
life. She was still in love with Jeremy, but there was more to consider more
than love and chemistry. She needed to know if Jeremy will be in the long run
with her….
As for his brothers, blood is thicker than water. It wasn’t
easy, he didn’t just stride into their lives and told everyone he’s back. He earned
their trust, fought his way back into their good graces. But I was glad all had
ended well. Because Jeremy had redeemed himself. He might have some doubts
about his capabilities now that he was out and he has to face some
responsibilities, and I was glad his brother, most especially Reggie was there
to make him see the light.
The ending had my heart aching, half-good, and half-bad.
It was something I didn’t expect to happen, but I was touched, when someone
unexpected came back into their lives and said his goodbyes. This, perhaps was
one of my favorite scenes in the book.
This might be my favorite book in the series. MS Brannon
had surpassed her previous works. Redeemed Love is dark, compelling, and will
send you shivers down your spine. It will have you hooked, will have you
pinning for the characters, will make you understand the reasons beneath the
actions, and will make you think that indeed, there is good in every person.
One surprise after the other, some good, some caused my heart to stop. This
book gave me enough rollercoaster for today, and it was worth it.
•Complimentary Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.•
"I push him off me then roll Jeremy onto his back. Our lips don’t break away from each other as I settle myself on top of him. His hands come around and inch their way under my shirt. Slowly, he sears my skin as he moves the fabric up.
After I sit up and yank the shirt off my body, Jeremy pushes up and cups my breasts in his large, strong hands. They are the hands only a man can have—lethal, rough, and protective. I love his hands and all that they can do."
