An imprisoned cowboy. An empowered woman. When true love is forbidden, opening their hearts could destroy them both…
Chained and enslaved, Jake Nichols is convinced he’ll die alone. In this new order where men are stripped of all power, he endures brutal torture at the hands of his female captor. But when he’s hired out to build a ranch home for an outspoken beauty, his dreams of escape transform into visions of passion.
Monica Avery struggles to fill her heart in a loveless society. With marriage outlawed and romantic partners reduced to pawns, she’s given up hope of finding her soul mate. But watching the rugged rancher hard at work on her shelter awakens her deeply buried desires.
As the project comes together, Monica discovers a kindred spirit in the tenderhearted Jake. But despite their growing attraction, he still belongs to a cruel woman who’d rather see him dead than free.
Can Monica save Jake, or will their love lead to a tragic tomorrow?
Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐
Jake's Redemption took me a little out of my comfort zone with its post-apocalyptic world, but with that came some of my favorite romance tropes, so I dove in. I'll admit that I was a bit thrown when I realized that this prequel is the first in a new series. I'm used to seeing prequels come out after at least the first book, and they're usually done to answer a few questions raised in the series. That said, Jamie Schulz has created an intriguing world in her debut novel. The story does get dark at times with descriptions of the torture Jake has had to endure, but there are lighter moments too after he comes to stay with Monica. This one is definitely a slow burn romance - almost too slow, and there are places where the story drags some as well as some points that are repetitive throughout the story. Nevertheless, the book is well worth the read with an intriguing plot, a slow burn steamy romance, and interesting and sometimes quirky characters who should make for an exciting series. As this is a prequel, the conclusion isn't so much a conclusion as an open-ended, where does it go from here kind of thing and a promise from the author to deliver more on these characters in the next book. As for this one, Jake and Monica's story is a solid debut from the author, and I'll be interested to see how she grows with future books.
