REVIEW:
Another awesome installment to the Redemption series. Book for as the last 3 books brings back the whole gang aka past couples. I love that Prince does this with her series, as well as ties in her other series to this one as well. It makes the world building that much more wonderful.Guilty Pleasure follows Lark, who has come back home to take care of her sick aunt Sissy. However the moment she sees the sign for her hometown she wants to turn back and next look back. But she will do anything to help her beloved aunt, especially since her cousin and aunts daughter is a real piece of lazy spoiled work. Lark is thrown left to right, dealing with being hated by the whole town. You see Lark left town on a sour note, with lies that she turned in her now ex-boyfriends brother to the cops. Lark hits every bad luck possible while trying to make sure her aunt deals with little so she can rest, but when Lark needs money and jobs a scars, the one person she never thought would help her does. Her ex...Clay.
This story really gutted me, Lark is such a strong and kind person, the things she does to make sure Sissy is taken care of and gets her home life sorted out shows how big her heart is. She deals with people shunning her left and right, not wanting her in their stores, grocery shopping or literally walking in the street. It broke my heart, people in the town were so cruel. I pretty much hated everyone in town for her. Luckily this girl is tough, she holds back the tears and when luck comes to her in her ex, she takes hold of it only for her aunt.
Clay is an alpha male to the max, he ticked me off quite a few times in the sense that he blamed her for something his brother should of taken responsibility for. Her turned everyone against her and it hurt to read how she struggled. Thankfully this guy also has a heart and Lark is his biggest weakness no matter what he thinks she did.
The whole story is a lot of what happened in the past, no one knows, especially Lark why the town and her ex think she told on her best friend and Clays brother Callum. The drama from that caused a lot of angst and tension, especially sexual tension between Clay and Lark. These two have the most intense, steamy and holy moly chemistry.
In the end this was a great 4th installment and I can't wait to see who the next couple is going to be!

Visit Redemption
a series of interconnected standalone romances
Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.
Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.
In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.
Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
