Redemption

Redemption - Remmy Duchene I'm going to be honest with myself; I'm never going to finish this book.

I was excited to read this story. One reason is that it's an interracial love story. The other reason is that there's an ex-con in it. I thought it would be a very outside-of-the-box story. I was wrong.

Keegan's the ex-con who's been in jail for over twenty years. he was a bad boy when he was young and then some stuff went down and Keegan was locked up. When Keegan finally gets out he's a different person. That was the one thing about the story that I liked. Prison messes people up. Keegan was sufficiently screwed in the head.

When Jaxon comes onto the scene everything gets muddy. Keegan's resistant and then he's making out with Jaxon and then Keegan pushes Jaxon away again. It's a whole I-want-you-don't-touch-me thing that Keegan has going on. It's a lusty push and pull that goes on and on and on. I was uninterested. So much could have been done with this story but everything about it was forced; the lust, the angst, everything.
