Redemption #9
Sweet Spot
Who knew four little words and a very public kiss would change so much.
Gage Langdon didn’t do relationships. After having his heart shattered years ago, he made a vow to never go down that road again. But when his past waltzes into his town, demanding his attention, he reacts without thinking and makes a very public display of kissing his best friend. Now Wynn is pretending to be his girlfriend to help him get back at his ex, and the feelings he’d sworn he turned off were starting to spark to life.
After walking in on her boyfriend in bed with another woman, Wynn Klein made herself a promise. Never again. She was done with men. When she walked into that coffee shop one morning to meet her best friend, she never expected Gage would wrap her in his arms and plant a knee-quaking kiss on her in front of the whole town. The request he whispered in her ear after sealed their Just go with it.
When Wynn agreed to be Gage’s fake girlfriend, it was only supposed to be temporary. But thanks to meddlesome friends, an over-eager mother-in-law to be, and a conniving granny, things go so much further than they were intended.
The lines between reality and fiction are starting to blur, and Gage starts to see Wynn in a whole new light.
Now he just has to get her to that sweet spot where friends become lovers without freaking her out and sending her running for the hills.

These 2 are sworn off relationships due to each having bad experiences before.
He falls first, they are really good friends and a situation arises and his feelings have changed so he takes the opportunity of fake dating until he can convert to make it real.
It's quite slow burn.
Great girl posse, nutty family and banter.
No details other than the Hero and heroine. No flirting with anyone else.
It's been 6 months since he was with anyone, random and a year for her.
Ex drama on both sides, more from the ex girlfriend.
HEA.
Engaged, plans to marry.
As this is the last book in the series I can't remember if in previous books Gage took anyone home for a night, as that's all he did, but in this book it's said he did that, not for 6 months, but no onpage details in this book.
She hasn't been with anyone in a year, him 6 months so possibly she knew him when this was going on but it's vague, no details, unless I missed it.

So.....I read it. 😂😂😂🤷
I've read a few other books in this series and probably loved wallflower the best because she's quiet and shy and gets a verbal.snack down from the H in that book.
This one......this one was very SAFE. Safe and very overdone in the sex scenes sound the same as lots of others I've read and the fake dating and friends to lovers trope was sickly sweet 😂👀
They're best friends, have keys to each others homes, and only saw each other as friends until..... They don't 😂😂 his ex girlfriend comes to town. She dumped.him while he was overseas defending the country and broke up with him with a letter. The author.makes.sure to make sure YOU know this fact. Many many many MANY times. Ex gf also had sex with his best friend and when they break up or divorce, she comes to redemption TN where they live to try to get him back. When he sees her at a cafe they like, he uses h to pretend they're dating and she tells the ex that they're engaged 🤷🤷😐
Then at the end, she finds the engagement ring that he carried around while serving overseas and has THOUGHTS and FEELINGS and wonders why he had thr ring he was going to propose to the ex gf with and his answer? "I honestly forgot about the ring in the drawer" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙄🤷😂😂😂😂😂😂 okur.
So yeah. Its mid. Her books are always nice. Not mind blowing amazing or anything. Just nice and mid.

I have a difficult relationship with Jessica Prince’s books but I try them from time to time because IF her Heroes behave, they’re the best dirty talkers, lovers and romantic men…
This book is amazing, it’s surprisingly funny, the heroine is amazing and the Hero perfect!
Friends to lovers is one of my least fav tropes and I don’t usually read it but this book is very romantic and safe. A little drama at the end but just to get everything more romantic!
Highly recommended!
As usually the sex scenes are very emotional and hot!
I’m scared about her new series, an MC… this could be heaven or this could be hell… but I’m sure Pope would be the most possessive and hot biker…☺️

I’ve been waiting for Wynn to get her forever and it is far more than even I’d hoped she would get! She and Gage may be besties, but when it comes to putting on a show to get rid of some ugly past colliding with the present, it’s hard to see where the fake ends and real begins. But maybe that’s by design? I mean, one of them is definitely not above using this to play for keeps. And trust me, you want that one to win because if one of them wins, they both do.
I found myself wishing I could slow down a little, but I just had to see how this all plays out. It’s clearly not fake, even if one or both pretend it is for different reasons. And one of these two is only pretending it is because they don’t want to risk losing the person who means the most in their world. Trust me when I say that Wynn and Gage just might vie for top two couples in this serious. Between their friendship turned something much more and their chemistry, it’s easy to want nothing but good ahead for them!
Granted, this tale is bittersweet because it’s the end of this series, but we all know that Pope is coming. And with him us more time in this region. Likely more time seeing this group at some point. And if Pope can find a forever like Wynn and Gage have, then I’m all over it.

Such a bittersweet ending to a wonderful series. Redemption will always hold a sweet spot in my heart as will the wonderful characters. I love the comraderie, friendship and closeness of everyone. Gage and Wynn were best friends who started out in a fake engagement when they finally realized that their feeling were so much more. Their relationship is one that will melt your hearts. Although I will miss this town, I am looking forward to what Jessica Prince has in store for us!!

What a beautiful way to end this series. A sweet, $exy story that brings friends to fake dating to so much more! I loved Gage so much. He is absolutely one of the most charming and dirty talking alpha guys of this series. Wynn is just the sweetest and I can’t get enough of these two together. I especially enjoyed her sassy attitude and the way she stands up for Gage. I loved this story from beginning to end.
I highly recommend this book. Told in dual POV.

This is the perfect end to one of my favorite series!! Wynn and Gage are absolutely perfect for each other. I love how the fake engagement was written and watching Gage slowly show Wynn that they are perfect together. I’m so sad to see this series end but it couldn’t have ended any better!!

This is the last of the Redemption series, and I will miss these characters. But this story is a great ending to a wonderful series.
Sweet Spot is a friends to lovers, fake dating in a small town. You get so many great things with this story, and the characters are amazing.
Wynn and Gage are the best of friends, and when Gage needs someone to rescue him for his ex, Wynn is the one to do it.
This story is sweet and steamy with a really good storyline that will have you flipping the pages.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the way the series was brought to an end. You get all the small town feels in this one.

Sweet Spot by Jessica Prince is the very last book of her Redemption Series and now that I finished it... I'm so happy and sad at the same time.
You know this feeling when you binge your favourite show and then it's over?
Well, it's not really over because I can always go back and start the series from the beginning! 😉✌️
So, Sweet Spot is the WONDERFUL love story of Wynn and Gage!
They're both really good friends and because of their stupid exes they've had enough of dating.
But then Gage's ex is in Redemption and in some kind of panic reaction he kisses Wynn.
Well, and THIS KISS changes everything!
OH MY GOODNESS!
I LOVE JESSICA'S BOOK SINCE THE FIRST ONE I READ AND... THIS ONE ISN'T AN EXCEPTION!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!
I can't tell you HOW MUCH!
Awwwww! 🤩🥰😍☺️
Wynn and Gage have this special friendship and I looooved how they treat each other!
After this spontaneous kiss a lot changes but I can't tell you too much!
Although I'd loooove to!! But don't worry! No spoilers here! 🤞🤞🤞
It was wonderful to see all the other great characters from the previous books! This small-town is where I'd love to live! Ha!
So, it's getting so damn hot between Wynn and Gage! ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's sooooo much palpable chemistry that I even had a lot of goosebumps... ALL THE TIME! No matter what happened - I just could feel it all! EVERYTHING!
I loved how their story turned out! What happened along their journey - from the beginning to end!
I can't even express all my feelings and I get the feeling that this review doesn't do this book any justice. LOL
SWEET SPOT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
I laughed so much, I swooned hard, I needed lots of cold water, I cried and I swooned some more and cried at the end... because now the Redemption Series is over.
So if you wanna fall in love with a sassy and strong woman, who can absolutely deal with a huge and sexy Viking - read this book!
Fall in love and enjoy it as much as I did!
I'm so thankful for the chance to experience this whole series. I enjoyed every couple sooooo much and they'll always stay in my heart. ❤️

Redemption has come to a close on such a high note!
ARC review
In this story we get to see the relationship with Wynn and Gage.
We can all pretty much agree Wynn is fabulous, as we have seen her in prior books. Her crazy, fun and sassiness just pulls you in to love her.
Gage is the quintessential male best friend, and all around good guy.
While all their pals harp on them having feelings for each other, these two keep each other in the strictly friend zone, both, from past heartbreak.
Insert some drama, realizations that the person you have spent almost everyday with is your perfect partner, and some serious denial, and you have a recipe for a spicy, fun, realistic romance.
The final installment fills your heart with excitement for the couple, and some sadness that we are leaving this cute little Tennessee town, now that everyone has coupled up.
I’m always a fan of Jessica Prince books, and this was no different.
Some things I would have liked more- some more drama with Wynn’s ex, since he does call her in the book, and that just drops off, a bit more OW drama since she is the reason the story went the way it did.

If you like a story with zero angst because it's clear from page one that they're endgame, even to themselves, this is your book. Not lowering my rating for that like I usually would, because it was cute and that's exactly what I was in the mood for today.
These two are such good friends that even before they're together they internally think of how they're pretty much already in a committed relationship.
There's OW drama because the MMC's ex wants him back, there isn't even a moment where he considers it. He shuts that down hella fast. 👏
My biggest complaints are:
Way too much of the story told instead of shown. We don't get to SEE a ton of how good of friends they are before it's shoved down our throats with paragraphs of internal monologue TELLING us instead.
Also, at least 20% of this book (I'm not exaggerating) is spent giving us paragraphs and pages of backstory of every character that's introduced. This is book NINE in this series of standalones, so that means that we get the full backstories of 18 different characters, how they got together, and also little stories about parents and a grandparent. Like as soon as I thought it was done, another character would show up and we'd get to hear about them. Honestly if I cared that much, I'd go read their books. I wanted more of the MCs of THIS book instead.
Anyway, this was cute, but ultimately felt like advertisement for the rest of the series because these two were already in love before the book started, and they went "fake" they were both all in.

Fall in love with Two best friends in redemption who have both been unlucky in love & swear off the opposite sex for life, in there friendship group they the last 2 singles standing.
What will happen when Gages past collides with his present. Wynn feels the need to stick up for her bff. Chemistry is off the chart for these 2 who are in denial about what’s happening between them.
loved these 2! Can’t believe redemption has ended! It’s been an amazing read & can’t wait for the next series
Well done Jessica

What an awesome book. The storyline that features Wynn and Gage just flows. You are watching them go from friends to seeing what others see when they watch them both. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.

I gave this til about 40% before giving up.
There are many JP books I ADORE but this just fell flat for me. It was only interesting for the side character moments, which is never a good sign.
IMO, it was too formulaic and I just didn’t find myself caring about Wynn or Gage.

Gage and Wynn's story was so perfect. I loved this friends to lovers, fake engagement story. These two were absolutely perfect for each other. It was so amazing to see them go from the best of friends to absolutely everything to each other.
As always with Jessica Prince books the friendships are so perfect. I loved everything about this book. Its bittersweet that this is the last redemption book but I can't wait to see these characters show up on future books.
5 stars

As the last two singles among their friend group, Gage and Wynn are constantly getting crap from the rest of their friends about pairing up. Luckily the two are best friends, so can handle being thrown together all the time. Gage has sworn off relationships since his last one went so wrong, and Wynn has been out of the game since her ex turned out to be such a jerk. But lately, something's been...different between them. She's been having dreams of a decidedly more than friendly kind about him, and he's starting to realize his feelings for his best friend aren't just protective. When she informs him she needs to find someone to help her out of her rut, those feelings turn intense. Are they finally going to realize what's been right in front of their faces all this time?
Now thanks to Gage's impulsive behavior when seeing his ex, he and Wynn are in a very public, very fake engagement. This small town is abuzz with the best friends finally admitting how they feel about each other. But in the private, close confines they're living in, their actual feelings have yet to be declared. When both their families come to town to celebrate, these friends will have to finally confront their own feelings if they want to move forward.
Though I'm sad the Redemption series has come to an end, Jessica certainly went out with a bang. Wynn and Gage are everything that make this series so great - lovable, adorable leads with intense chemistry, their whole crew around to give encouragement, perhaps a bit of tough love, and the story and series tied up with a very sweet epilogue. I'm going to miss Redemption, but there's a note that a new series is coming - I can't wait!

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This the last book in the series and the author saved the best for last. It is a fake relationship, but also besties that turn out to be more. It takes place in a quirky town named Redemption that has some really awesome characters and friends and family to both Wynn and Gage. It was a wonderful way for this series to end and I cannot wait for more from this author.
As all the books in this series stands alone. This story does as well. But I highly suggest you read this series and start with book 1 as all the stories and characters in this series are absolutely wonderful. There are a lot of characters throughout the series to love and so while the story stands alone, you might want a bit more in the back story as you meet the characters in this book.
If you are new to Redemption or can't remember who Wynn and Gage are, here is the scoop. Wynn works for Jace who is married to one of Wynn's friends and whose sister is also friends with Wynn. So has lived in the town three years as Jace gave her a huge raise to make the move. But she was engaged until about 4 months before the book begins, and she was betrayed and is kind of done with love. But her best friend is Gage.
Gage moved to town also about three years before. He is one of three partners in a security firm that he started with his best friend Laeth and Jensen. He also has a horrible ex and is pretty much done with love. All Gage and Wynn's friends have kind of paired them up because they are such great friends and also because they are the last of the singles.
These two are lots of fun. They made me laugh and giggle and sigh and they were just so hot and sexy together. I loved Wynn before this book, but I adore her now. She is always there for Gage, and he is always there for her. They have this awesome relationship, and I absolutely loved every second of this book.
I also loved that the author didn't have them lusting after each other while Wynn was in another relationship. Her feelings for Gage changed subtly but only after her breakup and Gage's feelings for her only begin after her breakup. I loved jealous Gage and overprotective Wynn.

Wynn Klein and Gage Langdon share the friendship of a lifetime that neither one of them ever wants to change. But when they embark on a fake relationship in front of the residents of small town Redemption, keeping a romantic distance is going to be absolutely impossible...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sweet Spot was an entertaining and sweet, friends to lovers, romance read! When Wynn and Gage fake an engagement, these besties are about to find out just what kind of feelings they have been harboring for each other... and they are undeniably sexy ones...
Wynn was a hilarious and tiny little woman who really knew how to pack a punch with her personality, and she gave Gage had no chance to not fall deeply in love with her. Gage was protective and sweet, and with his solid and steadfast presence, he was the perfect counterpart to the vivacious Wynn. And while these two have sworn off relationships due to their terrible exes, all it takes is one kiss between them for everything to change...
This book was sexy and sweet, and contained very little drama. I loved the differences between Wynn and Gage, and their one of a kind friendship... also Wynn's nickname for Gage was the BEST!
This story was a heartwarming way to say goodbye to the unforgettable Redemption series. I have enjoyed every single book in this series, and I loved to revisit all the thriving friendships and relationships that were created in this quirky small town.
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

Jessica Prince is back with her Redemption series one last time with this bittersweet tale bringing readers Wynn and Gage’s story. Theirs is one filled with friendship, laughter, a little drama and a lot of love…. Ooohhh and there’s some spice too.
Wynn and Gage are the last single people within their group of friends. Having been burned in previous relationships, Wynn more recently than Gage, neither one of them is interested in being in a relationship, however they have struck up a close friendship, and have become besties, often eating together or meeting up at Hot Java for a coffee fix. It’s there where Gage’s past collides with the present when his ex-girlfriend shows her face, in a spur of the moment decision Gage introduces Wynn to her as being his girlfriend, however she takes it a step further when she says that they’re actually engaged.
You know that saying “Good news travels fast.” It certainly does in the small town of Redemption, and it’s not long before their friends hear of the good news and their engagement party is planned.
Wynn and Gage decide to embark on a fake engagement, putting on a show with hopes that the news will get rid of his ex once and for all. However it doesn't take long until it becomes difficult to see where ‘fake’ ends and ‘reality’ begins as the pair grow even closer than before with each day that passes. Gage realises what’s been in front of him all along and is done with pretending, he’s playing for keeps, and Wynn is the ultimate prize.
Wynn and Gage’s relationship is one that will melt your heart. Sweet Spot was such a perfect book to end was has been a perfect series. I’ll miss Redemption, however I’m looking forward to seeing what’s to come in the future from the talented Jessica Prince.

I can’t believe this was the last Redemption book! How can we be leaving Redemption and all these amazing characters behind!? But alas, all good things must come to an end and boy did we go out with a bang! Sweet Spot brings us Gage and Wynn, who’ve been fighting their friends on the “they’re so perfect together” front for years. Best friends through and through, they don’t understand why they constantly get grief that they belong together.
What starts as a way to get rid of Gage’s vile ex-girlfriend turns into something very real and I. Am. Here. For. It. I had forgotten just how much I love a friends to lovers book – and Gage and Wynn did not disappoint! Wynn has a lot of baggage from her jerk of an ex and Gage has no desire for a happily ever after since said vile ex ditched him. But once they really start to ruminate about their friendship, it becomes clear that it is absolutely true that the best relationships start as friendships.
In addition to the sweet, slow burn of their love story, it’s also hot, hot, hot - holy smokes, your Kindle might catch fire! The spice level in this one is high – so hot! So, while it was a bittersweet ending and very hard to say goodbye, it was a very satisfying ending to an amazing series. If I were a betting woman, I would say we will probably see a lot of these characters in Jessica Prince’s new Ashland series, coming up in 2024. In any event, one click this one, but only after you’ve read the other books in the series. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!!

After reading other books in this series I've been looking forward to more! As soon as I found out about this ninth installment I wanted to read it. I picked it up and headed right back into the Redemption world! I so enjoyed this story!
Wynn and Gage's journey captured my attention so quickly! These two are best friends and their friendship means a lot to both of them. One morning shakes everything up as Gage kisses Wynn. Now Gage needs Wynn to be his fake girlfriend to get rid of his ex. Can Wynn and Gage fake it and then go back to the way things were? Or can this shed light on some very real feelings between them?
Both Wynn and Gage pulled me right into their story. I adored their friendship, the different sides they brought out in each other, and how they both cared about each other. They were both relatable to me, especially when it came to their exes and certain things in their lives. I very much enjoyed getting to see these two fake dating, handling everyone else around them, and the real between them.
The bond and chemistry that Wynn and Gage shared was so great! I really liked getting to see them face things.
I was so glad to be back in the Redemption world!
With Sweet Spot, Ms.Prince has created such a good friends to lovers story that brought the feels! I am so looking forward to reading what she brings our way next! 💜

Gage and Wynn
This was a great friends to lovers, fake engagement, he falls first romance. It was also the perfect way to wrap up this series. I always love when an author gives every secondary character a story and this series definitely did not leave any character behind.
Gage and Wynn had been best friends since they met. They were the last unpaired people in their friend group and were content with their relationship. Until they weren’t. I loved the way they each discovered their feelings for each other. Even before their fake engagement, they each had started questioning if their feelings ran deeper than friendship, and their forced proximity just brought everything to the surface.
I loved the way Gage loved Wynn. He had unknowingly been in a committed relationship with her for years and as soon as he realized that, he was all in. He thought he had to show Wynn how good they could be, but it didn’t take much convincing. Gage was the perfect book boyfriend. He was so attentive and protective of Wynn.
I also loved Wynn’s love for Gage. She would go to the ends of the earth for him. She stood up to his ex for him and showed him how a partner should act. I loved how strong Wynn was on her own and that Gage let her shine.
This was a pretty low angst book. It was lighthearted and fun. I loved the little glimpses of the previous couples. Great ending to the Redemption series.

The end of Redemption is alas here, and I am so sad to see the series end, but what a way to go. This series is near and dear to me, finishing it was bittersweet. The final installment in the Redemption series; Sweet Spot is a small town, a fake relationship, friends to lovers, romance with drama, family and love. JP is a Goddess of the written word, and her work is always such a pleasure to read.
Gage and Wynn are best friends, they share drinks, laughs and live their best lives. Neither ever really sees the other as anything other than a pal to joke around with. When Gage’s past comes cruising into town with intentions of messing his life up, he does the first thing that comes to his mind to make it go away.
He kisses his best friend
He kisses Wynn.
I freaking LOVED this! For once; the FMC is the one doing the rescue and not waiting for someone to come in and save the day for her. Gage is the one in need of the help, his ex is back and Gage is in a place where Wynn is the only one to help him. Wynn is of course the one to help, She is his best friend after all. These two enter into a sweet, spicy romance that opens their eyes to each other in a whole new light. Redemption might be over, but the characters from this series will carry on, hopefully into a Legacy series. JP you still have my heart, you wonderful author you.

This is the final book in the Redemption series, and as such we get glimpses of all the other couples from this series. I really enjoyed seeing them again, but sometimes the details on how each couple got together would slow down pieces of this story. When it opens both Gage and Wynn have sworn off commitment because of previous relationships gone bad, and are each others best friend. They spend a lot of time together. But things are shifting and Wynn is becoming more aware of Gage as a man, and at the same time Gage is starting to realize he might have an attraction to Wynn. Speeding things up is an appearance by Gage's ex-girlfriend from years before who he has no wish to have any contact with. On the spur of the moment he grabs Wynn and kisses her in front of the ex, and Wynn announces that they are engaged. Thus begins their "fake" engagement which Gage quickly realizes he wants for real.
This was a sweet but steamy, slow burn, small town, friends to lovers romance. We get to really witness as Gage and Wynn develop from friends to lovers to more and I enjoyed the situations they found themselves in, especially Wynn, as everyone around them leans into their excitement over their "engagement". This was 3.5 stars for me.

I’m sad that this is the finale for the Redemption series, but it was a great way to say good-bye (or at least hopefully a simple see you later with toes crossed that we’ll get updates at some point down the road) to a group of people, and small town, that I had a lot of fun getting to know.
As for Gage and Wynn, I adored both of them. Gage is all kinds of laid back protective alpha male goodness and Wynn is a firecracker of a woman full of moxie and heart. The fact that they were already best friends made it easy to see how they could be more. While the road to that realization wasn’t filled with a ton of angst or outside drama, it had its bumps in the road, but it was all kinds of fun to watch them finally open their eyes, and hearts, and take that leap to lovers on top of being friends.
I loved catching up with all the Redemption couples and people who’ve made it so much fun to read the series and it was quite nice that this was simply a fun friends to lovers read without a ton of angsty-ness. I loved Grandma Buttons to pieces and, as I said at the start, I hope we get updates on all the characters at some point in other series.

I can't believe this is the final book in this series. I love this series and it went out with a bang. Gage and Wynn are going to have you swooning. These two best friends have sworn off relationships after their exes did a number on them. When they enter a fake engagement situation they really look at one another in a different light. Their tried and true were are just friends doesn't ring true as it once did. These two are so adorable together. They get one another like no one else. I love their banter and the little things they do for one another. Their families are awesome and Grandma Buttons reminded me of my grandma. Which put a huge smile on my face because I miss my grandma like crazy so it was nice to feel her presence while reading because she is the reason I love reading romance books. This was such a great book to end this series on. It had a great sense of humor with the perfect combination of heart and heat. Plus all of our favorite cast of characters from this series pop in along the way. I devoured this book in a day and a half. Gage and Wynn just had me hooked. Can I just say the description of Gage reading made him sound like dreamy book boyfriend material. I highly recommend this one!!

Steam Level: 🔥🔥🔥.5
Yo, out of all the books in this series, this one was the lightest but did it matter?? Absolutely not. This was, hands-down, the cutest! Even though this was a difficult decision given how hot all our Redemption heroes are, it's safe to say that Gage is my favorite, probably along with Jase? And then I loved Wynn and Poppy the most as well.
I have read a lot of books by Jessica by now and I think the friends-to-lovers trope is not her usual game, but me, being an absolute sucker for the trope is here for it!
I loved Gage and Wynn's relationship even before they got together. Goodness, they were so cute?? They were so comfortable and sweet with each other, I was smiling the whole time. There was also that delicious slow-building tension that I loved.
And man, Gage, wow, he was absolutely—no single doubt—so in love with Wynn. Gosh, he was the sweetest. I think I just melt every time he shot Wynn with that dimpled smile.
On a side note, I think there were some plot points in the beginning that weren't utilized until the end which made me think "What was the point?", but anyways, I don't care. I still loved this.
