4.5 stars

When I was first approached about reading the Dynasties: Secret of the A-List series, I had no idea what to expect. I knew the series would consist of four books written by four different authors. I also knew the books would all be connected by an overall series arc, which would play out in the individual books over the course of the series. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect there be so much in your face drama. The series starts with Tempted by Scandal written by Karen Booth, which is an office romance. The second book, Taken by Storm, is also an office romance written by Cat Schield. The third book is Seduced by Second Chances, a second chance romance, written by Reese Ryan. Each of these books has its own primary couple with the story of Liam Christopher and Teresa St. Claire playing out over the four books. Yes. There's so much going on with this couple that it takes more than one book.

I have to admit that these two are my favorite couple of the whole series. Teresa and Liam bring friendship and romance. But don't be fooled. This couple has enemies to lovers written all over them. Their awareness of each other goes back seven years to when Teresa was one of his father's students. Liam believes Teresa had an affair with his father. This is something Teresa vehemently denies. With his father deceased, he has no way to know for sure. But he desperately wants to believe her. “Over the past few months you’ve thought that she’s a liar, a gold digger and an opportunist.” Yes he has. But everything inside of Liam wants Teresa more than his next breathe. “Nobody ever said life was going to be fair.” Liam is determined to be with Teresa; to love her, to protect her, and to slay all of her demons.

Redeemed by Passion was just simply great. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to ruin anything. There was a surprise to this story that I didn't see coming. You have to read the book to find out what it is but I promise you will like it. Heartbreaking isn’t even the right word to use for certain parts of Redeemed by Passion. It was like someone ripped my heart out and squeezed it until it was flat. “Love, true love, grown-up love, isn’t based on what you get back. It’s judged by how much you give.” Teresa and Liam have so much love to give if only truly given the chance.

Joss Wood wrapped up this series with a nice little bow. She put me back together again after she had me crying buckets of tears. The Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List series is definitely a binge-worthy series and belongs on my keeper bookshelf. I’m not sure if Redeemed by Passion is truly a standalone read or not. So much has happened to this couple over the previous three books, culminating with some really big reveals.

Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List (Book #4)

[Lynn Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

One last hurrah! With the conclusion in the Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List series, Joss Woods finally exposes the secrets we've been wondering about since the beginning. Teresa and Liam find their way through the craziness and we're introduced to another couple who add an additional twist of drama to the story line. The entire series has been a lot of fun and this book wrapped it up nicely.

Teresa St. Claire isn't sure how she's going to save her business after the latest stunt her wayward brother has pulled ... until an unexpected wedding that will rival all others falls into her lap. She's got to resurrect her business and find a way to rescue her brother before it's too late.

Liam Christopher should dislike Teresa because of all of secrets and lies floating around since he met her, but he can't stop wanting her in his bed. He can't bring himself to give up on her, so he decides to get to the bottom of all of the lies once and for all. His own family secrets will be the key to figuring out who's been doing all of the scheming, and the truth will finally set him free.

I haven’t read everything in this series, and I’m starting to regret that. This book stands alone, but it also appears to build on the stories that came before it. In the one previous book in this series I have read, it was easy to see the passion that Liam and Teresa have. It was heartbreaking to witness the pain and distrust neither one can seem to let go of. Their story is full of twists, most of which I didn’t see coming. I loved watching Liam and Teresa learn to be vulnerable with one another and grow into better people. I think the surprise I liked best from this book was that not just one, but two couples find their happy endings here.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.

We finally get Liam and Teresa's story we have met both these characters in previous books in this series but now we get their full in depth storyline

Teresa St. Claire could lose her business after her brothers latest stunt but then Liam Christopher steps in yet again . He is determined to help the woman he has never stopped loving Yes there is plenty of passion between these two but there is also plenty of hatred and ill feeling as you know they have steamed up the pages throughout this series. Now Teresa will have to lose her pride if she is to save her business and brother Meanwhile the secret that has threaded the entire series is coming to a stunning conclusion. While each book in this series can be read as a stand alone do yourself a favour read them all.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

The last thing Teresa St. Claire needs is her ex meddling in her private matters. But Liam Christopher is hellbent on helping the woman he still has feelings for. Teresa’s only qualm is she wants to protect the two men in her life who she cares deeply for, but when she is forced into a tough situation her defiance at Liam wavers. What she haven’t bargained on though is falling for Liam all over again!

Joss Wood’s Redeemed by Passion is an emotional, intense and passionate story that sweeps you off your feet with its magnificent prose and exquisite details. I savored the banter and enjoyed the slow burning romance between Teresa and Liam. An all out enjoyable read.

This is an amazing book. Liam and Teresa story continues but again it is not plain sailing at all as Liam's mother is doing everything that she can to destroy Teresa at all costs and Liam is trying to desperately to protect Teresa. They have gone through so much and continue to do so but will they ever get there happy ending that they so deserve. I definitely recommend you read this book and series and you will not be disappointed as it is so well written and takes you into the story as if you are going through everything with them.

Redeemed by Passion by Joss Wood is the final installment of the Dynasties: secrets of the A list series. This series is absolutely amazing and a must read. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Liam and Teresa throughout the entire series. The fire and animosity was built to the max. It has been leaving steam on the pages. To finally get to read their finishing story was absolutely breath taking. I could not put it down. I had to stay up and finish this amazing read.

Both Teresa and Liam are attracted to each other but there is always something going on that appears to push them apart and Teresa is too stubborn to ask for help as she has always been let down and Liam is too stubborn to let Teresa go. There is loads to keep you hooked on the read and you can't help but feel for both of them with what goes on and then when the twists and surprises come up wow some just really side swipe you!

Can Liam and Teresa have a happily ever after despite their past
This is the 4th book in Dynasties Series and I love the continuation of the previous characters in the series with the focus on Liam and Teresa now. Teresa’s event planning business is having issues when Liam steps in to help. The sexual pull between Liam and Teresa is intense, so hold on for the rollercoaster ride of plot twists and steamy encounters. When Liam discovers the truth behind his father’s will, what will happen to their relationship? You have to read to find and won’t put the book down until you turn the last page.

We finally get to the heart of Teresa and Liam's story. But we pick up with Teresa putting together the wedding of Nic and Brook's wedding. But as with all the other books their are obstacles at every turn for Liam and Teresa. If it is not her brother it is his is mom. There are many secrets that come out during this book. But love can conquer just about anything. This book was a wonderful ending to the series!

Teresa and Liam were once a couple but things did not workout for them thanks to others interfers. She is trying to save her business and help her brother at the same time but someone is once again causing trouble. While they don't trust each other just maybe they can save her business and they can reunite their relationship.

A very good and interesting story. Not read anything before from this author but I am glad I have had the opportunity to read this. I only gave it four stars as I feel I missed out on this couple's back story in the previous books. I will now have to read the others and then this one again to really appreciate the book. Nevertheless it was very enjoyable read.

[Michelle Padilla · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is really two romance stories in one. Teresa St. Clair is an event planner with a on again off again relationship with Liam Christoper. However, neither one really admits that it was ever a real relationship. Liam knows she is in trouble and wants to help her but Teresa is afraid not only for his life but her brother's too. Can they make it work? Add, in billionaire Brook's who wants Teresa to plan his wedding with bride Nic.

[Joyce M. H. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hate to see this series end.
Not use to reading about 4 main characters in one book, theirs usually one set and all other characters are secondary but this book was great.
Liam and Teresa were excellent together. No matter what mommy dearest Liam's mother did to keep them apart it only brought them closer together.
I knew that Liam's mother was hiding a secret and I figured out the secret in book # 3 "Seduced By Second Chances" Reese Ryan's book. Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive, what she accused Teresa of doing she had did.
Liam and Teresa were both battling demons. Oh how I would to have a fixer.
I would to found how things are going with Teresa bother.
With all of the characters floating around in this Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List Book Series this was an awesome series.
Glad to see that Liam and Teresa got thru their problems.
Received this book a honest review and also purchased in paper back.

[Ashleigh · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick enjoyable read.
I felt that the author had the ability to convey some depth to the personalities of the characters bringing a greater sense of reality to her story.
The writing draws you in and keeps you interested until the end.
The chemistry between the H and h is great plus their attitudes and events going on make the story even richer.

There’s a whole lot going on in this quick read.

We start in media res. With Teresa leaving Liam Christopher. They are two unbending pines with one thing between them.

She’s got a troublesome brother.
He’s got a whole new family.
And she’s planning another man’s wedding.

Recommend.

I loved this book! I had the hardest time putting this book down. I read the whole series and loved all the books in the series, but l think this book really was the perfect ending to this series. So many twists and turns in Liam and Teresa’s story, made this book as great as it was. Definitely recommend!

[Elizabeth McDaniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Teresa and Liam have such a fractured past and a questionable future. This book is a part of a series that finally reveals the questions regarding Teresa and Liam’s love story. The characters were strong and the story was interesting and full of intrigue. Good read.

I enjoyed Teresa and Liam's story! It's a well written story with secrets reveled and intriguing twists. I like how the story developed as well as the characters. The drama, angst and ups and downs definitely keep you sucked into the story. This story did not disappoint a bit.

I've been obsessed with Theresa and Liam throughout the other books I'd read in the series, and I could not be happier with how their story turned out! There was some trouble, but too much love for it to do them in. Just loved it!

Good Book

Sweet endings for these arcs! I started the series in the middle so I have to start from the beginning.

[CaroMommie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fourth book in the Dynasties: Secrets Of The A List series and it was tons of fun. A true rollercoaster 🎢 ride of drama and thrills.

There is enough romance, heat, drama and excitement to keep you engaged till the very last syllable is read.

The supporting cast is back from the previous books and they don’t disappoint, and they manage to not be intrusive, only adding color and commentary to kick up the story a notch.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, I think you will as well.

Read a couple of the first ones, just wanted to get to the end!
