He holds me captive with his brilliant blue eyes.
His crooked smile melts me every time.
His voice wraps around me when he sings.
His words break through and dive straight to my heart.
Dash Ford, lead singer of Redemption, is unlike any man Iβve ever met and I’m drawn to not only his lyrics but the man behind the voice.
But I am brokenβbeyond broken.
I had no intention of falling for him. But when we met, I had no other option. With him, I embrace the present while trying to put my past behind me. I find myself in a world I never expected, a world Iβm not entirely sure I can handle.
Am I strong enough?
Will I be enough for a man who has everything?
Can I finally let go and give into the love Iβve wanted my whole life? Or will my past forever define and haunt me, keeping me from all I desire?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this story, but Michelle Lee managed to suck me into it and had me silently screaming when I got to the last page.
Jules is a survivor. Β She may not have the ability to see past what her ex, Blake, did to her. Β But she survived. Β I was a little worried when she began this rather intense relationship with Dash, but it became very obvious, very quickly, that Dash gives her the mechanism to pull herself out of the dark spiral she finds herself falling into. Β He becomes the catalyst for her to finally seek professional help. Β And the one that shows her over and over again how a man should treat a woman, especially the one he loves. Β Their relationship is intense, even when they weren’t having sex because they were going slow, but you could see how each of them were a balm to the other.
Dash has his own set of issues. Β Coincidentally, Dash’s issues revolve around something similar to Jules’ situation. Β It gives him a unique insight into just how much Jules has survived. Β He tends to go a bit overboard with her on certain things, but I think that’s his way of compensating for what he couldn’t stop before. Β Luckily, I never question Dash’s feelings for Jules and know that what he’s doing is because of her and not someone else.
There’s some creep factor to some of the characters. Β Roland, the band’s manager gives me the willies and I question if he’s up to no good. Β Then there’s the matter of Jules’ ex, who we know is up to no good, and what he might be planning. Β These characters kept me on edge, making the hair on the back of my neck stand up when Jules started questioning things. Β Even though they make me cringe, it’s an aspect to the storyline that I’m anxious to see play out.
Michelle Lee is new to me and I truly enjoyed her voice and her way of storytelling. Β She created a couple who’s sexual chemistry leaped off the page at me and had me believe everything they felt. Β I look forward to the next book in the series as Jules and Dash’s story continues.
