I know I have begun each review I have written about this series with the phrase, “She has done it again.” Well…she has not just done it again, she has surpassed even that. M.S. Brannon continues to amaze me with every book she writes. While I love every book she has written, this is by far my favorite!This is the story her fans have all been waiting for; it is about the quiet, reserved Jeremy Evans. He has been a secondary character in previous novels, and we don’t really know much about him until we get surprised in an earlier book. He is not what he has been portrayed to be. In fact, he is the polar opposite! Redeemed Love is told in two parts. Part I is about his life prior to prison and why he made the choices he made which led to his sentencing. It also details his friendship and budding relationship with the beautiful, strong Cami. Part II is about his life after prison and how he tries to make amends to his family and Cami. I won’t write anything else about the book because you need to read and devour it for yourself. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions!!!!M. S. Brannon has created a phenomenal book. It’s filled with darkness, danger, romance, steamy sex, love, forgiveness, with sprinkles of faith weaved within the pages. It takes a great writer to take all these things and create the story that she has. Be prepared that once you start reading it, you won’t be able to stop. It kept me my attention from the first page until I finished the last sentence in the epilogue.The characters are well developed. I have liked all the female characters of her books. However, Cami is my favorite. She has endured more than her fair share of heartache and loss during her short life. Yet, she not only survives but manages to thrive in her situation. And where do I even begin concerning Jeremy? The only thing I can say is that he is one of the most memorable characters I have come across in a very long time. I guarantee readers won’t quickly forget him either. He is a walking contradiction. He is filled with such darkness and turmoil and hides it so well that his family doesn’t even notice the violence just simmering below the surface. The author creates a completely separate, believable character when describing the dark beast that resides within Jeremy that he struggles to keep hidden. Yet, as he harbors this dark monster inside of him, he has this incredible love for those who are important to him. You can especially see this in his relationship with his family and Cami. Brannon has created such a complex, multi-layered character, and she reveals those layers perfectly.Redeemed Love is by far the best book that she has written. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow with each book she writes. She is one of the most underrated indie writers out there today. It is my hope that this book will get her the attention she rightly deserves. While I love New Adult and Contemporary Romance, so many of them follow the same format. This is not the case with M.S. Brannon. She writes from the heart and about real life issues. Seriously, who could write a series about people who live in a crime-ridden town and have such dark, painful pasts yet the characters find love, happiness, and purpose in these conditions? That, my fellow readers, takes a gifted, talented writer, and M.S. Brannon has that in spades! Thank you again for a book that crosses genres and takes us to unexpected places.
