Letting her love him is something he works on every day. For two, he has a stalker that stops him being by her side. For one, she’s deep in the snake pit he left behind. But building an ordinary life with an extraordinary woman isn’t easy.
These days its moderation in all things, except Elizabeth Winston.
Can she redeem his reputation while holding onto her career, or is she making things worse on all fronts? And that’s before she makes a mistake that changes everything. Struggling to keep her own identity, and increasingly unsure whether Zander’s even on board. Now she’s five thousand miles from the man she loves and hawking intimate details of their relationship to salvage his iconic legacy. You can’t force someone to heal before they’re ready. Even though she’d heard her minister father counsel couples throughout her childhood, she forgot the take-away. Like every woman emphatically in love, academic Elizabeth Winston figured she’d fix her rockstar lover’s emotional problems with her shiny, all-encompassing acceptance. They make mistakes and, out of self-doubt, don’t always communicate. Zander and Elizabeth are not estranged, but trying to be vulnerable, work through their fears, and love and support each other. While not a marriage-in-trouble romance, it is a relationship-growing-pains romance. What was Elizabeth and Zander’s HEA in Rise continues in Redemption. Redemption and its “Rock Solid” predecessors have a connection to that among-the-first category I read: What the Librarian Did‘s hero, Devin Freedman, is Rise‘s and Redemption‘s hero, Zander Freedman’s younger brother, also connected by having experienced the rise and fall of their uber-successful, world-famous rock band, Rage. I’m so glad Bliss kept writing and publishing romance (after the sad loss of the Superromance line) because reading her is always a pleasure. Reading Redemption brought back their goodness and reminded me what wonderful writers some category authors were. Bliss’s Special Forces series was also among the best I’ve read and the first and last, Here Comes the Groom and A Prior Engagement, among the best romance I’ve read, category, or otherwise. One of the first great category romances I ever read was Karina Bliss’s What the Librarian Did, making me a category-convert for life.
