Ryder has been taken by the Russian's. They give him a choice, fight or they take Faith. Ryder fights, five fights and he's free. Once the beast is unleashed though will he ever actually be free?Faith promised him forever. Faith promised she'd wait. She's waited, but when she sees the skank from his past trying to get cozy she has to wonder what all has gone down while he was gone, while she wasn't around.Can they both survive the past months that he was gone or will it destroy them? There are changes in Ryder and they are HUGE to their relationship. He has to figure out who he can trust in the MC. Those closest to him have betrayed him and his brothers. He loves Faith and she loves him, but how much is too much at once?I expected a lot in this book. There were many parts I didn't see coming and others I wanted to see that didn't happen. I felt like a lot was left out and just when we were getting to the good part, BAM! Epilogue. Wha..What? Panic button, run to Goodreads praying for a book 3. Don't see it, happen to see review from author that mentions book 3, and the pounding in my heart can slow down. That's right folks, this isn't the end. If it was I'd be so upset. I kind of fell in love with Ryder and Faith in book 1. I need a mad, happy, passionate Happily Ever After for them.Ryder's Redemption isn't full of all the chemistry and passion that Faith's Temptation had. This book is pining for a missing love and struggling with what the future might be if all you had planned was lost. It's the choice of running scared or facing fears. It's also dark in the struggle that Ryder is forced to accept while he's basically kidnapped and forced to change in order to save his family. There are new characters that we knew from both Ryder and Faith's past. They can bring peace or hope or start a s*** storm. I'm so torn on this book I liked it, don't get me wrong, but felt like it fell a little flat from what I was expecting. I thought there'd be more angst, making up passion, etc. So much was thrown down at once though that it kind of killed that for me.I give Ryder's Redemption four stars. It's a good read, the pace is even and it isn't a long read. I'm looking forward to the next book and hoping it has all the answers in it. Please be a HEA!!!I received a copy of this book for my honest review.
