Redemption (Men of Hidden Creek - Season 4, #6) by E. Davies







Blurb

“I’ll make up my own mind about you.”

Months after he was mugged in Houston, legal secretary Jasper Barnes is still hiding out in Hidden Creek. Self-defense classes would boost his confidence. Problem is, the guy offering them is Chad Allaback, and he has a reputation, to say the least. So why does Jasper feel an irresistible pull toward him?

Six months after his wakeup call, Chad is too afraid of his past to reach out to those around him in his hometown. Accepting help from Jasper when he finds out he’s about to lose his home is the hardest thing he’s done. Can he really change now?

Self-defense lessons quickly turn into a sizzling, secret connection. When neither man is sure if they can trust their heart to the other, they hit a breaking point all too quickly. It’s going to take a Hidden Creek miracle to heal their scars and find redemption in each other’s arms.

Welcome to Hidden Creek, Texas, where the heart knows what it wants, and where true love lives happily ever after. Every Men of Hidden Creek novel can be read on its own, but keep an eye out for familiar faces around town! This book contains a changed man, gossip text chains, and a sassy twink kissing his unexpected savior.


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!


E Davies' Redemption is a fantastic and powerful addition to the Men of Hidden Creek Season Four series. 

We met Chad previously as a bully. He  knows he made mistakes, he knows people are right to not trust him, but he's trying to better himself, and show the town that he's reformed. It's tough enough to get someone to give you another chance, but to get them to actually forgive and move on, is much more difficult.

This quote sums it up perfectly.
"Once you'd already fallen down, how the hell did you get back up?"


Meanwhile,
Jasper is drowning in self-doubt. He's terrified and his backstory is upsetting, scary, and emotional. Trust me, you will fall deeply in love with this skittish man.


Chad and Jasper get into a sticky situation as the two start dating. It's tough for Jasper that the man Chad was such an ass to is Jasper's best friend. I love this aspect of the story. It's intriguing and well developed.

Chad and Jasper definitely make an interesting couple. Both are complex men who are struggling with everything in their lives. Together, these two men embark on a wonderful journey of forgiveness and strength. 

The author excels in exploring the powerful effect of having one person believe in you. But most important though is learning to believe in oneself, and be less sensitive to what people say about you or think about you. This part resonates with me on a personal level, and I love the way it is handled.

Redemption is a wonderful, touching story. It is beautiful seeing Chad redeemed and loved again. E Davies once again pens a beautiful and worthwhile story. Despite Chad being in a previous book, this is easily read as a standalone.
