My Thoughts: Riding for Redemption is the second book in the Redemption Series. I didn't read the first book and I still loved this book. I would suggest that you do read Romancing Redemption first. I plan to go back and read it to find out Rosie's story. Riding for Redemption is a very sweet love story. It is a fast read with wonderful characters.

I love Sara Beth. I'm all about character growth, and Sara Beth's growth is amazing. It's actually really beautiful reading about her journey after her accident. By the end of the book I felt proud of her. Johnny is trying to find his own way and in the process he helps Sara Beth to find hers. I loved their relationship and how their initial attraction to each other slowly developed into something more.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves a nice romance, but be prepared to want more when you finish reading. I can't wait for the next book. The good thing is that I can go back and read Paulson's Lonely Lace Series while I wait.

Rating:

Bonnie R. Paulson mixes her science and medical background with reality and possibilities to make even myths seem likely and give every romance the genetic strength to survive. Bonnie has discovered a dark and twisty turn in her writing that she hopes you enjoy as much as she has enjoyed uncovering it. Dirt biking with her family in the Northwest keeps her sane.
