Review: A Blues Singer to Redeem Him

A Blues Singer to Redeem Him by Elle Jackson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Evelyn Laroque is pleased to start her job as a blues singer. Her voice captures owner and mob boss son, Lorenzo De Luca. Lorenzo is drawn to her and feels the need to protect her when she becomes targeted by the KKK. As Lorenzo seeks to help her, he must decide if he will revert to his gangster roots or stay on his new path?

I absolutely love love the cover and I love historical romance. However, I found it hard to get into the book in the beginning. I persevered but I didn't fall in love.

Thank you, #Netgalley for this read.

Review: Redeemed by His New York Cinderella

Redeemed by His New York Cinderella by Jadesola James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jadesola James makes her debut for Harlequin Presents!

Kitty Asare is desperate enough to help her foundation by crashing Manhattan's exclusive event for the affluent members of society. She didn't expect to encounter a man from her past, one that brings her trauma when she was a teen back into her mind with full force.

Laurence Stone is all about closing the deal and doing whatever he has to in order to do so, including pretending to date Kitty Asare. He is all about remaining detached and keeping everything business but the chemistry he feels with Kitty is overpowering his good sense. He doesn't need any attachments yet he find himself drawn to this woman from his past.

I really enjoyed this story, although I didn't agree with Laurence's actions of the past. However, he is on a journey to redemption and it is always great to see how love can bring heartwarming change. I read this quickly and I loved seeing how Kitty came full circle.

I will definitely read more from this author. She has a way of drawing you in and you're halfway through a book before realizing it.

Thank you, #Netgalley and #Harlequin.
