Redemption by Jennifer Bene
5 out of 5 stars
Redemption by Jennifer Bene
The end of Fragile Ties has me an emotional mess happy, sad, love, hate, passion, suspicions the quintessential must haves in any book add some S/M, scenes between trusted partners and it becomes an excellent book. Pondering the family David and Lianna accepted as their own as this wasn't a cliffhanger but left me wondering if we will explore the Jean Luc's family. I just want to save them from the heartache left behind caused by her father's brothers. This was an exceptional read. The first book had me sweating bullets, the second questioning what I knew about love, family and relationships and as open minded as I am I found this book went against things I thought were crystal clear but as with life and the world this book evolves into a mish mash of acceptance, forgiveness, family, friendships and bonds. David and Lil's story is violent as it is beautiful and yet a haunting tale of families destroyed from within. Two opposites on the surface with souls that mirror each other's needs, wants and desires. I truly hope in the future we will see a spin off of Jean's family. Just an incredible read that truly transports and haunts you.

    “Redemption” drops us right into the storyline as it continues from the end of “Inheritance” and it was an emotional rollercoaster for me. Once they were on the plane through to their visit to France, I kept wanting David to change his attitude. In fact, I was getting worked up over his behavior and would have to take breaks from reading the story because his all-or-nothing attitude toward the Faures was making my skin all crawly. And that there is the mark of good storytelling when a reader gets worked up over the behavior of a character and it wasn’t even over the sexy bits. Once I settled in to being uncomfortable, I was able to keep reading and every time I would start on that emotional ride, I would do an imaginary fist-bump toward Ms. Bene thinking, “Yea, you’re making me feel like this. Great job!” And maybe I’m a bit weird, but I love it when a story has me wanting to keep my feet off the floor, day drink (not really. Okay, maybe a little), and even throw the book across the room (again, not gonna happen but you get the idea). This series is dark. This series covers topics that will make you uncomfortable. This series is scorching hot in ways that will have you wanting to reread the sexy bits as you rev up your own lady bits. And well, I should probably quit before I dig myself too deep of a hole. Read the series. It’s good. It’s REALLY good.

    Love the relationship that David and Lianna have built. Couldn't wait to see how it all ended. The wait almost killed me, but as always Ms. Bene delivers. Without giving away spoilers, I will say that it wasn't quite as...idk maybe exciting as I thought the end would be. However, it still kept me completely engaged with the plot and characters throughout. I think if there had been a smidge more drama/action I would've given this 5 stars easy. Still, it's a great read. Great end to the series. I'm hoping she does something like she did for The Talia Series and writes a sort of epilogue novella for them, David and Lianna definitely deserve it!
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020
    I think I might have been reading too much really dark romance, since I actually found the final book of the Fragile Ties trilogy rather mellow, especially compared to the first book, which was some heavy stuff.
    Lianna needs quite a bit of pain to really get going, and David likes to dish it out. Their respective kinks compliment each other, but ever since David took a bullet for her, sex has been consensual and actually quite playful.

    After her uncle Jean-Luc has helped to get the FBI off Lianna’s back in the wake of the events that culminated in her father’s death and the collapse of his criminal organization, Lianna has decided to go to France and to get to know the Faure family. David has a bad feeling all along, but since he gets that he can’t change Lianna’s mind, he insist to accompany her.
    Lianna is received by her uncle, aunt and cousins like a long lost daughter and they all seem genuinely nice and not like criminals at all. While Lianna is drawn into the Faure’s net deeper and deeper, David remains sceptic. It appears his distrust stems mostly from his prejudice, but then everything changes and David’s greatest fear comes to pass as he is separated from Lianna…

    Also, after focusing for years on getting is revenge, David must learn to lead a normal life and reconnect with his family, if he wants to have a change at a happy ever after with Lianna.

    Really loved this trilogy!

    To the outside world Lianna & David's relationship is dysfunctional at best, twisted & wrong at the worst. But who is to decide what makes for a good relationship. David & Lianna are a perfect match. They understand each other strengths and weaknesses. The outlines of their pieces line up. And Jennifer Bene delivers a perfect end to their story.

    This is NOT a standalone. The Fragile Ties Trilogy begins with Destruction moves on to Inheritance and concludes with Redemption.

    The final piece of this haunting series is worth the dark ride to get there. Jennifer Bene is a top notch writer who can weave a tale so intense and forbidden you’ll be left reeling. David and Lianna are characters I’ll never forget who deserve their hard fought HEA. This book exceeds all my expectations.
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020
    David and Lianna are in France and things are going alright. David is beginning to warm up to Lianna’s cousins, but he will never warm up to Jean-Luc and Jean-Luc’s warmth will only last so long with David. David has no idea at this point what Jean-Luc knows about how David and Lianna met.

    The conclusion to the Fragile Ties Series has more danger and secrets being revealed. The Faure family is devastated and looking for revenge. Since Lianna left in a hurry and angry their wrath is turned towards her and David. They’ll need all the help they can get to prove their innocence and keep from being killed.

    I liked this series. It is very dark and depraved, and the secrets that are being kept could destroy Lianna and the Faure family. David’s only goal is to protect Lianna no matter what. His sole purpose was to destroy Lianna and her family, now his sole purpose is to protect her and keep her safe and happy. Little did he know that she would turn his life upside down and change it on him. The characters are dark, dangerous, and loyal to those that they care about. The story is full of secrets, danger, and messed up families, but the outcome is two people finding their own paths in life and finding the family they never realized was there for them the whole time. I give this story a 4-star review and recommend it to readers of mafia, dark and stories rife with secrets.

    I didn't know what to expect to happen in this book and what did happen, I definitely didn't expect! This is another great series by Jennifer Bene and once again, I wasn't disappointed! I also have to mention that I love that Lianna is such a brat! I chuckled about the Uber scene and love it so much.

    So thankful for the additional ending. Giving closure to that major character was shocking but needed. Intense love obsessions. Not into most of the bondage scenes but building the HEA of the main characters was worth the journey.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing and wonderful conclusion to the trilogy
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2020
    Darn you Ms Bene, you left me on such a floaty and wondrous ending. And I should have known better than to trust that you wanted me to be happy but no! So I foolishly sallied forth and read the bonus scene. My advice to other readers is DON'T DO IT! not unless you want to have all that warm gooeyness ripped from your grasp only to be replaced with utter heartbreak and devastation.

    It's said that good things are worth waiting for and that was never more true than when referring to the conclusion to David and Lianna's story, which is so very, very good indeed. Redemption took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions, though it was like riding one blindfold, never sure when the next drop, twist or turn would occur. I want to say I devoured this book but at times I felt more like it devoured me, as it caught me in it's tangled web and did with me as it pleased.

    There are a lot of new characters introduced in this book, some good, some not so good. Who to trust, who is lying, who is being honest... not only is it difficult to know, but Lianna and David struggle to agree on it. Just as things seems to be working out for them, meeting the Faures imposes untold stresses on their relationship and you just know there will be trouble ahead.

    This pair have a complex relationship, rooted in all that is wrong and twisted, but from it has blossomed something that is their beautiful. The sex scenes are not sweet nor gentle, because neither of them want that. Theirs is a love that is brutal, extreme, violent and furious, all encompassing and no-holds bared. David has a darkness to his cravings, a darkness Lianna craves. They may have been softened by love but there are times when you wonder if he truly has them under control.

    I re-read Destruction and Inheritance in preparation for reading this. I wasn't sure if it would (a) live up to the magnificence of those books and (b) just what exactly would be in store for me. It totally surpassed all my expectations. Jennifer Bene wrote a conclusion to the Fragile Ties series that was unpredictable, captivating and I quite simply couldn't have wished for better than this.

    Well they finally made it out of the apartment fans, David and Lianna, got all the answers they wanted and saved the day. While the sex is still rampant in book 3 the storyline was a bit softer than I expected. I think I wanted to delve more into the Faure family and what they actually did instead of just referring to them as having a long reach and known for having untold criminal connections and influence in the masses, but no matter, it still had a good storyline to tell.
