**Beware of Spoilers** I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved it. 5 Stars!!! There are 2 sequels to Drawn (FYI Book 1 is still Free). Redemption is for team Damien fans (that's me) and Obsession is for the team Aaron fans.
Redemption starts off where Drawn ended. The story is told for 3 POVs.
Damien's time in prison is a real healing process for him. While most people would assume you would become more violent and irrational Damien over comes his issues. His cell mate is a lifer who after time confides in Damien of his relationship problems that ultimately lead to his destruction and the death of his wife. As the story hits close to home for Damien this realization begins his journey to making things right. Therapy and medication help him rationalize his anger issues.
Aaron is living as Etta's boyfriend and Evie's father. While they are going through the relationship motions Aaron never feels his love will be enough to heal Etta of her anguish over her toxic relationship with Damien. You really start to feel sorry for Aaron and at times super bitterness towards Etta for using Aaron for as long as she does. He gave up everything for her safety and you never see the gratitude you would expect for such a sacrifice.
Etta is trying to cope with life as a mother, healing from her heart ache over Damien and "trying" to make herself love Aaron. Etta has a lot of irrational thoughts and actions and you find yourself at times wishing they'd both tell her to screw off.
After a while her and Aaron come to terms that their relationship will never be more than friendship. Aaron moves on with Shay, but still tries to be involved for Evie. When Damien is released from prison an unlikely ally leads him toward Etta and his daughter. Things heat up quick. There is that instant chemistry between Etta and Damien. Trust, lies and old relationship drama follow this couple as they try to heal what was broken and find the happiness they can only find with each other. The ending was perfect for this relationship that didn't look like it could make it. Bravo, I absolutely could not put it down!
