The Warner Family #5
Redemption's Touch
Exonerated for a crime he didn't commit, Dawson Reynolds has worked hard to make a new life. Now a fabulously successful real-estate mogul, he will never forgive the powerful Warner clan for turning their backs on him when he needed them most...and he's determined to demand what's his.
But when he returns to Heather Hill, his plans immediately spin out of control, starting with his fierce and undeniable attraction to a Warner niece, gorgeous Yale Law graduate Arianna Smith. Still reeling from their passionate interlude, he is stunned by a family crisis that forces him to reevaluate everything he is and everything he thought he wanted....
Arianna falls for the charismatic real-estate tycoon the moment she meets him, but she has fears about starting a relationship with a man as tormented as Dawson, even after their erotic idyll in the Hamptons. Can she help him heal the bitter pain of the past with the promise of a passionate future together?

Forgiveness us hard to give and even harder to accept, but one you give and receive it life can be grand. Joshua/Dawson learned this lesson the hard way, he earned it.

Arianna and Dawson/Joshua forgiveness required
No one can say that Ann Christopher doesn't know how to write a story. It is technically sound and developed enough where you want to know more.
However, with this final addition it was anticlimactic. It was predictable and the reason for counting is to prove yourself wrong. The dynamics of the story makes you believe Arianna and Dawson are related. The shift in understanding as to why Arianna was in Columbus to begin with is up for debate. Then the chance meeting between her and Dawson.
Understanding physical attraction is a real thing that leads to different emotions, you're on the journey of discovery.
All is not lost with the story as the underlying message is forgiveness and the ability to forgive even when you're the victim. Releasing said bondage so that you have the ability in which to forge ahead.

Names meaning
This author's use of parallelism is incredible to me, she keeps me laughing. Her writing is extraordinary, moving and entertaining. The writing leaves one wanting for more.
Just thinking and wishing; "Redemption's Kiss" cannot b found, book #4 to the "The Warner Family" 🙃🤔

I could even imagine everything in my world being nothing as it seems. I’m so glad Joshua was able to learn to forgive and Arianna finally came clean love wouldn’t be love of it didn’t create situations of proof 💋

Good book. I enjoy Ann Christopher writing, her plots are easy to follow and with a great solution. Nothing left, too guess.

Ehhh
Loved the series, out of all 5 books, this one was just flat for me. It had its moments but overall, lacked. Would not recommend.

It was nice to read a follow up of the Warner Family. Dawson/Joshua surely was something else. He was extremely surely, which made him incredible sexy. Ari came to him at the perfect time in his life when he really needed her. They had this incredible chemistry from the moment they met, it was definitely love at first site for both of them. Their love scenes were off the chart, I just wish there were more of them!! This is a gr8 read from Ann Christopher...check it out.
For the reviewers who said they were cousins obviously weren't paying attention when reading. Dawson/Joshua was not a blood relative of Arnetta, so there is no way that Dawson/Joshua were blood cousins, just by marriage, to which either of them didn't know about.
