Redemption
Raven
I haven't dated in years. I've been too busy raising my niece.
-
The death of my sister left me heartbroken. God knows if it hadn't been for the child I don't know how I would have coped.
Anyway, I didn't have time for men. Non stop work and caring for Janna has been my life.
Until he came...
Konstantin Milosevic. The mysterious, enigmatic man that fate so unexpectedly delivered to me. He is so charismatic and breathtakingly handsome that I can't believe that such a sex god would want plain ole me. He ignites fires in me that no one has lit before. He's in my thoughts every waking moment. I can't stop thinking of him.
He always seems to turn up wherever I go and there's something dark and dangerous lurking in his eyes.
My friend Cindy urges me to seize this chance. "You need this girl," she says, but I'm scared. I'm afraid that this man has the power to uncover my darkest, most secret desires.
He could destroy me...but I can't help myself. I'm as drawn to him as the moth is to the flame
Konstantin
Those who understand me know I belong in the shadows. I never take a backward glance, and my heart is as cold as ice. Every flame that has ever flickered inside of me has never caught fire.
That's the way it was and I never questioned any of it...until she appeared.
Raven Hill shouldn't have come within a million miles of someone like me. Shitty fate! To send such a bright, beautiful flower into my bleak and barren landscape where nothing can ever grow.
She alone tempts me towards the light.
Her innocence makes me wonder about the man I am.
She's so damn beautiful she heats the blood in my veins. The temptation is pure torture. I give in and take her. Make her mine.
Unfortunately the rigid codes of the life I am in means I cannot keep her... but how can I let her go when she might be my only chance of redemption.

Loved it!!!!
This was a classic romance thrill made after the perfect Georgia Le Carre recipe.
She knows how to bring on the heat, intertwine the danger and thrill of suspence, then deliver the love of epic proportions through out seemingly impossible odds, where you can't help falling in love with the main characters, especially the anti-hero, who is always more than the exterior danger allure, tormented, scared, harden man who finds his second chance at love and redemption!
As all he's meant to do now is to protect the woman he fell in love with, his primarly target, and his destined second chance...
...and yeah, that's the exact moment Georgia makes you swoon!
Bravo! ;)
This time my review is short but nontheless it's to the pin point straightforward.
That ' s all the reference you need to enjoy this book! ;)

I swear this woman makes a liar out of me every time she releases a book! I'm a lover of all things dark. I'm a peculiar reader at best. However, when this chick releases a story, I'm after the book like its happy hour Wednesday at my favorite bar!
Oh man what a story! I couldn't figure out Konstantin's deal! What I do know is the dude has serious skills in the bedroom! Be warned, there's a lot of hot sex in this story. Not enough to distract from the suspense surrounding ole boy, but more than usual. I love Janna! She's so incredibly funny! There's so much in this story to consider and that's why this book is AH-MAZING!
If you're looking for story that will exploit every emotion you possess, then this story is for you! I swear it took me from hating ole boy to crying to wooooooosa and back! I'm tired as heck!!! In a very very good way!
This is my PERSONAL OPINION of this AH-MAZING story. My opinion should not have any impact on your reading experience.
Five stars!!!

An Addictive Read ♥️🔥
Raven is an independent lady working at the casino, and raising her beloved sister daughter. She doesn’t have time for dating.
Konstantin Milosevic 🔥 omg just his name!! Anyway he is a golden god and he wants her.
He is mysterious and looks cold and hard, but he has a past.
This storyline is sooo good and captivating, I didn’t want it to end. It’s so good and with a nonstop flow.
An alpha male that will make you feel goosebumps and giddy. But, with a serious, action paced story.
This book has mystery, action and lots of intense and hott sex 🔥
I love Georgia Le Carre style of writing and this book delivers an emotional, gripping and raw story.

"I look at her in astonishment. To open yourself to another and find what you've almost dreamed of.
It's never happened to me before."
Konstantin is an enigma, turning up at the right place at the right time to swoop in and save Raven, he leaves an impression that's hard to forget. A mystery man of few words there is a coldness to him that leaves her a little wary but she can't deny how attracted she is to the man. Having spent the last couple years devoted to her niece, after her sister tragically lost her battle with cancer, Raven hadn't felt this way in a long time about a man. Cue a whirlwind romance and some very naughty, dirty, sexy times that seems too good to be true...
With a something isn't quite right vibe underlying the passion between Raven and Konstantin this story is filled with intrigue and suspense. The drama builds until the tension is unbearable but the truth is one of utter shock and despair. Can Raven find another way, can Konstantin find his redemption?
Once again Georgia Le Carre has created characters that you fall in love with, that you cheer for and laugh with. The plot is fast paced, teaming drama with off the charts passion this story is one for anyone who likes a little...ok maybe a lot...of hot dirty sex in their books. It's a darker read involving the Russian Mafia with a little death and blood thrown in, with a very tragic back story for our main man. I also loved Janna, she added a little light relief to the story and made me chuckle. I'm a huge fan of this author and I've yet to read any of her work that hasn't left me with a massive book hangover. Once again this story ticks all my boxes, I loved it!
A five star he may actually be her secret prince after all read.

Redemption by Georgia le Carre is a totally amazing read!! This is the author’s best writing. She knows how to get your attention from the beginning and keep it until the end. The storyline/plot is amazing, the characters(main and secondary) are fabulous, the twists and turns are insane. You will want to keep some tissues handy for this story. Konstantin is definitely Book Boyfriend material while Raven is the heroine I root for from the start! The chemistry between them is insanely hawt and will steal your breath away!
There is romance, spicy/steamy sexy scenes, definite drama , suspense and excitement in this book along with the twists and turns that keep this book going fast and strong and those twists you DO NOT see coming. I cannot wait for the next Georgia la Carre book for she rocks!
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****

Great story! A solid 4 star read for me.
Great characters, love how it flowed seamlessly from Star's story.
I read the book last night and this morning, couldn't put it down!
I love a HEA and this has a fantastic one for Raven : )
I'm already looking forward to the next in the series - ugh, it's going to be AWESOME!

So happy to have this one from Georgia : )

This is my first book by Georgia Le Carre and it won't be my last. A hot, steamy, intense read that kept me reading from the first page. Konstantin is dark and dangerous and Raven can't but help be drawn to him from the get go. She first meets him when he saves her from being mugged or something worse and he steps in like a knight in shining armour. But there is more to him than meets the eye and when he shows up at her work and sits down at her table, she is flustered, not only that but he is waiting for her in the parking lot. When they spend an afternoon at the park with her niece that she is raising, she sees his softer side and is even more intrigued.
An amazing book with a bit of mystery, intense passion, steamy scenes, a chemistry between the two you can't but help feel, a woman who is selfless and beautiful, raising her niece like her own daughter, a hot alpha man with a dirty mouth that will make you melt and together they are so perfect that I couldn't help but fall in love with these characters and want more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I have read several books by Georgia Le Carre and enjoy them. The setting for lots of her books is London, England. This particular book has that city setting. I love how strong she has her characters be and the real life issues they face. It took me a while to warm up to the Konstantin in this book, but I loved the character Raven. This book also has strong side characters that I hope receive their own books. As an American, I find that certain words have different meanings (i.e.. crisps instead of chips) and it takes me a moment to comprehend what the author is writing. I found this book to be intriguing and full of some unexpected twists (signature style of Georgia Le Carre). The book is easy to read in one sitting as it is so good. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but my opinion of it. This book is darker than the author's more recent books, but oh so good. I do not give away spoilers in my reviews other than to say this is a standalone book with a happy ending. ( I do not like cliffhanger books.) I was voluntarily read this advance reader copy of the book.

This book was incredible. It has been awhile since I have read a book by Georgia Le Carre. I need to be smacked for that. I had forgotten how much I love her writing. I will make sure I don't forget again. Raven and Konstantin are amazing. I knew there was something up with him. Just by the way he stepped into Ravens life. I figured it had to do with paternal side of her niece. Wow was I wrong. That's all I am saying on that Read this book to find out what it is lol. The sexual chemistry between these to leapt off the pages. This Author is one of those who have the gift of writing. How she writes I swear transports you to the story she is telling. Loved loved it. Now I have a feeling Star had a story. I am off to look thru her catalog of books to find out. If she did that is so my next read.

Sooooo..... I'm not sure I liked Raven. I loved her name for sure but her personality, mmmm not so much! The story though had me hooked! It was steamy and intense. Also, Star and Nicolai from Submitting to the Billionaire make an appearance!
June 16, 2017
This is the first book I read from this author and liked it very much. It is well written and has an exciting plot. The story begins at a steady pace but becomes more and more intense as it unravels. Unexpected twists and turns, compelling characters and explosive chemistry make this book a must-read.

Raven got custody of her niece Janna when her sister died.

Interesting trip
Wow lots of twists and turns that I really didn't see coming.
Their relationship got resolved too quick for me. She trusted him even after everything.
The sex is pretty descriptive to say the least. I read a lot of smut, but one scene is like all into details that I could of passed on.
Interesting read quick and dirty.

An other lovley book and love story. I really enjoyed Dragan & Raven's story.
The only thing I disliked was Kostantine's last name...That last name brings always bad memories to us Balkan people. I don't know if it was Dragan's real lastname or not...I hope not, Georgia could have found a better Serbian lastname that doesn't recall the responsable man of all wars in the former Yougoslavia, Bosnian war included.

Redemption has quickly becone on of my favorites by Georgia. This book kept me completely intrigued from start to finish. I loved all the characters immediately! Georgia definitely brought forth the feels with this book. I found myself searching for the tissues a goid many times. Jana completely melted ,y heart. At first I was unsure how a kid would fit into this book but Jana's character blended into the storyline great. Raven's character stole my heart with her unbelievable strength. Even with all her loss and how much of herself she had to give up she never stopped doing what was right for Jana. Sometimes I felt her character was a bit dramaric and clingy but I never stopped me from loving her character. This does boarder on a instalove for me. But don't let that deter you, when you meet Konstantin you will want to immediately fall in love too. He is dark, mysterious ans down right dominant alpha. His filthy mouth and erotic mouth leaves you in depserate need of some ice water. His character is one if my favorites Georgia has craeted yet. I just couldn't help but be drawn into his charm. What really sold this story for me was the constant plot twists. The author kept you in a perfect limbo and then completely pulls the rug out from under you. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I just could not stop reading to find out what happened next. Also I completely loved Georgia's little touch at the end with the 3 times extended Epilogue! LOl
So if your looking for a well written dark romance Georgia never disappoints, and especially not with Redemption. It was a perfect web of mystery, twists, and love.

Redemption
Georgia le Carre
Loved it. A sweet yet sassy main character, a alpha man who knows what he wants. And some parts that could set your sheets on fire. Enjoy!
A man who has one job to do but can he do it?. A woman bent on making it through without a broken heart and a little girl who depends on her.
Raven is just your average woman trying to stay ahead of the game. She needs all the money she can save to keep a roof over her niece's Janna head and hers. Her besti keeps bugging her about going out and getting a man under her again. But she has more important things to thing about than a man. Until she runs into him. He's everything she could ever want in a man... But he wouldn't want her a plain Jane of a woman, with a kid attached to her hip right?
Konstantin always gets want he wants. He's a business man of a sorts that always gets the job done no matter what and a smooth talker to into women's panties. But right at the moment his sights are set on a beautiful woman who keeps avoiding him. He needs to get her out of his system and on with his job. But the problem is once he has her, he wants more and more. And it jeopardizes his job and life if he doesn't do what he was sent to do. Can he save her and have her too?

Action packed, dark, passionate, and mysterious all describe this book. I fell in love the all of the characters and was extremely happy to see super strong heroine in this one. Raven is absoutely selfless and absoutely saves the day. I also felt sad for what Konstantin went through at a young age and I'm surprised on how strong he is from his situation.
Also, if you have read other books from Georgia you will see some familiar faces in this one. That's one thing I love with her books. Something completely different but yet she can bring in other characters from other series and they fit perfectly.
So if you need a little action and darkness to your romance you can't go wrong with this one.

The Suspense Sucks You In! Konstantin & Ravin’s Dark Story Is Shrouded In Mystery. He Is Hard To Read, But She Detects Sadness Behind The Cold Mask That Her Protector Wears.
This standalone is part of the Crave Me romance collection that includes the stories of four best friends. The set includes:
• Submitting to the Billionaire: Star’s story
• Redemption: Raven’s story
• The Heir: Rosa’s story
• Nice Day for a White Wedding: Cindy’s story
Star, Raven, Rosa, and Cindy had been best friends since youth. They each had dreams. Star pictured herself as a writer one day. Raven had hopes of becoming a doctor. Rosa wanted to become a fashion industry insider. And Cindy dreamed of becoming successful in the business world. Their friendships had become strained once Star found love at an early age. She and Raven had a falling out roughly around the time Star married Nigel, leaving Rosa and Cindy somewhere in the middle. Cindy had gotten busy with getting her degree. Rosa spent some time in America doing an internship. And Raven gave up her education once her sister became sick. As their stories unfold, they rely on one another and discover that their friendships really can stand the test of time.
Note that Raven’s friend Cindy is introduced in this story. She plays a small role. Star and Rosa also appear.
Submitting to the Billionaire primarily takes place during two weeks in June. Redemption takes place during the summer while Star’s relationship with Nikolai is still fresh. Star had been twenty-two; Raven is twenty-three. It is conceivable that Redemption takes place the following summer, but it probably takes place during the same summer.
REDEMPTION:
Raven Hill, twenty-three, doesn’t regret for a second her choice to raise her preschool-aged niece, Janna. When her older sister Octavia died from cancer three years ago, it nearly broke her. She tries to live up to Octavia’s brave example and to raise Janna in a way that honors her. Her whole life now revolves around the little girl and she wouldn’t change a thing. Cindy’s friendship has been invaluable the last few years. They share an apartment together, and Cindy helps out with Janna whenever she can, proud to be called Aunt Cindy. An older woman who lives next door helps with Janna when Raven and Cindy are at work, which happens to mostly be nights and evenings when Janna is asleep. Cindy is the manager at The Diamond Rose Casino, and Raven was fortunate enough to get a job there as a croupier making decent money.
When Cindy insists that Raven attend Rosa’s big party held in the VIP section of a popular club, Raven isn’t thrilled with the idea. When she and Star had their falling out five years ago, Rosa had taken Star’s side. They had run into one another occasionally over the years, but it wasn’t like they called one another anymore. Cindy thinks Raven is long overdue for some fun, but Raven usually feels guilty whenever she doesn’t put Janna first. She hasn’t even been kissed by a man since Octavia got sick. At Cindy’s insistence that Rosa still considers her a friend, Raven finally agrees to go. Plagued with guilt her anxiety, though, Raven ends up cutting out of the party early, but soon finds herself on the city streets alone, lost, and potentially in danger.
Konstantin Milosevic, thirty-two, is a businessman who always gets what he wants. He is the best at what he does and is paid accordingly. He loves fast cars and beautiful women – and women love him. He doesn’t have much to say, but when he speaks his slight Serbian accent is barely detectible. It only adds to the sense of mystery that surrounds him. His life is about control. He loves working out, and the adrenaline high of punching someone is surprisingly satisfying. He is practiced and precise. He is comfortable in his solitude, but quite charming when he wants to be. He knows he is in deep trouble when he comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress one night. Her innocence disturbs him. Everything before takes on a different hue, and his carefully controlled life begins to crumble.
When Konstantin and Raven meet in a London ally, she can’t seem to get away fast enough from her protector. The terrifying experience has her in shock, and it is only later when she realizes how regrettable it was that she pushed him away. She had felt an instant connection with him, something deep and undeniable. Even though he masked his feelings, she sensed he felt it, too. As luck would have it she gets a second chance to make things right. Together they begin to get to know one another. And when little Janna takes a liking to him there is no more holding back. The couple has incredible chemistry – and they share some rather steamy scenes. But Raven still hasn’t faced either Rosa or Star, and her friends seem determined about settling the past. Meanwhile she couldn’t be happier with Konstantin, yet the ominous feeling she has won’t abate. Something is very wrong, and it doesn’t help matters that he has so little to say about himself. The couple eventually finds a very happy ending.
Like Star’s story, some of the timeline is fuzzy. There are fewer inconsistencies here, though. It states that Raven has not been kissed in over two years, since her sister got sick, but that was in fact three years ago.
Konstantin and Raven’s dark story is shrouded in mystery. Konstantin is hard to read, but Raven detects sadness behind the cold mask he wears. His character is quite slow to unfold, which adds an element of suspense. The story pulls you in for the first three quarters of the way through. The wrap up could have been more clever, but the ending is worthwhile. There are a few tears. Janna is a darling addition to the story. Her manipulative ways are transparent but adorable. The story is plot-driven. It is written in first person. The POV alternates between Konstantin and Raven. I rate this book 4.5 stars.

Wow this book had a big twist or two in the last 30%! It was interesting, VERY sexy. When these two get together they are dir-ty! Oh and I so much love the little girl, she is my fave. I love love stories with cute little people. I would like to read stories about Raven's friends as well. Oh man, that ending was all kinds of crazy and I cried some too. These two deserve to have a happy ending, they both have experienced heart ache in their lives and deserve some good. Raven surprises me as the story goes on and she seems stronger than in the beginning. And he is letting down his walls and opening up, I love how he is with Janna. Sometimes the writing style was a little formal which is not my fave but I really enjoyed the story.
I received an arc of this.

Wow Wow Wow. Clear your calendar and get settled in for the best read of the year. I guarantee that you will be hooked and won't want to put this one down until the last page is read. Brilliantly developed characters who you fall in love with. Konstantin is so dark and locked up tight ( emotion wise) and Raven is the best friend you wish you could have. She is such a strong character whilst thinking herself weak. The support cast ( this really could be a movie) is just as well developed and the back story helps paint the picture of Raven's life.
A must read for lovers of romance, suspense and action all here with bells on and even though there are ups and downs throughout there is at the end a happy ever after.

This book will take you through a journey of emotions and leave you breathless once you discover the great plot twist. It had action, some violence, some really steamy scenes in the bedroom and thrilling suspense. Raven has taken on the responsibility of caring for her young neice Janna, who is an absolute sweetheart and will melt the coldest of hearts.
After an attempted mugging one night, Raven is saved by Konstantin, who is mysterious and runs hot and cold with her. Their sexual chemistry is immediate and off the charts hot. No spoilers, but if you love a good twist, read on to find out what happens with these two great characters. I recieved an ARC for my honest review.

Raven was unlikable
This could have been a good story, but the main character is whiny, tstl, puts everyone in danger because of her lust. She tells this guy she loves him after 2 days although she knows absolutely nothing about him except that he melts her panties. Then she starts text stalking him and going nuts and losing if because he isn't texting her back immediately. Then she doesn't follow the plan, but instead decides to put everyone in mortal danger. Oh the stupid things this girl does all through the book was mind boggling. I usually lo e this authors books, but this one was a complete fail. Oh and the story is only 50% of the book. The rest is another story. Actually one much better than this one, but let us know it's only half the size claimed. Sorry, this one was just a total fail for me. It wasn't her normal dark romance either. Nothing real it dark here. More like a romance with a little mystery thrown in.

10 REDEMPTION STARS!!! WOW, JUST WOW!!! I absolutely loved this book, I read it in one sitting. The story was so captivating, intense, sexy and kept me on the edge of my seat. Konstantin is my new book boyfriend, so hot, sexy, rich and dangerous, what more can you ask for. Raven is beautiful, selfless, sweet and Konstantin can't get enough of her. These two are perfect together, but Konstantin knows it should not happen. I highly recommend this book or any other book by this amazing author.
