The Reckless Rockwoods #4
Redemption
As a Reckless Rockwood, Percy has a tendency to find himself in situations that aren't good for his health. Unfortunately for him the an dara sealladh (the "sight") showed him a beautiful pair of violet eyes that he found at the same moment he was shot. Left for dead, he survived the bullet and a year later meets Rhea Bennett and her violet eyes once more. Her connection to the man responsible for his attempted murder makes him determined to find the bastard, but he's even more resolved to save and protect the woman at the heart of the matter.
Sold into slavery at nineteen, Rhea Bennett escaped the horrors of prostitution and thievery, but there are children she knew during that dark time that need to be saved. Rhea's rescue operation is well underway, but Percy Rockwood's reappearance in her life is making matters difficult. Rhea never thought it possible to feel anything when a man touched her, but Percy is different. She feels things when he touches her. Emotions dangerous to her heart and soul, but even more dangerous for Percy if her enemies learn she cares for him.

Rhea and her sister were sold into slavery some years ago. Finally free, they are doing their best to put their experiences behind them. Her sister is happily married, and Rhea is working hard to rescue some of the younger children they had left behind. Rhea is also determined to never marry, to never give another man control over her. Percy Rockwood saw Rhea in a vision, and then he was stunned when she left him for dead. He's even more stunned to come across her a year later in very different circumstances.
I did really like this book. There's plenty of drama and emotion. The villain is suitably horrible, and I enjoyed reading about Percy trying to persuade Rhea to take a chance on him. It was a thoroughly enjoyable story.
The book could use being proofread. While it is well-written, there are a few mistakes. There are a fair number of missing quotation marks and a few misspellings of to/too. It's not littered with mistakes (or I'd have given in considerably fewer stars), but it is noticeable.

Percy and Rhea
Wonderful story and well written. Keeps you turning the pages from the first page to the last. the a and her sister were sold into thievery by their father . Heartfelt she was unworthy of Percy,'s love. She was willing to be his mistress but not his wife with the background and hardships she endured under Ruckley's thumb . but alas all's well that ends well with Percy ys love and the Rockwood stamina. Great characters and also the HEA . Would highly recommend this series and author.

A good book to read. It is fun, exciting, suspenseful, mysterious. I love these kind of books and couldn't put it down. I am sure you will like it too if you like the time and story. Good author, great book. I was given a review story and voluntarily review it.
