Redemption of Love: Exodus and Paxton's Story

Rate this book
Fresh out of a failed relationship, Paxton Littlejohn gave up on the thought of falling in love. The fearless beauty focused on her social life and running her business with her brothers. Tragedy strikes and Paxton is ready to shoot her way through any situation to get revenge. It also leaves her with a wave of emotions she’s sure she can control—all except the one of desire when she reaches out to the bloodthirsty menace himself, Exodus DeCorte.
The thrill Exodus received from hunting and torturing those on his radar had the streets prudent in how they moved. No man should enjoy death the way Exodus does, but it was for that reason Paxton knew he was the only person to accompany her on the road to revenge. The one act of mercy he ever showed was a prayer for your soul, and you could only hope you’d ended up above instead of below.
The only problem with Paxton’s plan was the steep price Exodus intended to charge. One look at Paxton’s finger around a trigger ready to take a life had Exodus hooked. She’s his, and he would stop at nothing to prove they belonged.
It’s easy to hate and even kill. But love will prove to be the biggest obstacle for Paxton Littlejohn?
Will this standalone end in revenge or redemption? Or both?

This may be one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. I literally could not stop laughing. Paxton and Exodus’s love story was a toxic mess. I hate to say i loved them together. Exodus puts the d in delusional. That man fell in love in a blur. I really liked how he tried to protect Paxton from herself and her situation. I loved my girl Paxton down but she irritated me one too many times. She carried a lot on her shoulders but sometimes she was way too stubborn. Ex always payed attention to Paxton and treated her so good. I just love that man literally.

I need a KRUDE BOOK. That man was hilarious and I loved him. The side characters brought a lot of comedic relief from some of the drama that was happening and it really made me like this book 10x more. I really felt so much for Paxton with what she had to go through with her kin. Them two men was diabolical and I was shook with the final plot twist! I enjoyed this book too much and I am going to miss a lot of these characters so much.

Hood rom com

This is so much like but so completely different from the other couples in this friend group. Krude is a whole fool and one of the best side characters ever. Exodus, smh I don’t even have words for. And Paxton may not be a hitter but she definitely a killer, and she might actually be crazier than Monica. This has a lot of humor, a little bit of plot, more day to day stuff and not a whole of spice but it’s the perfect recipe for this couple. They are made for each other so they didn’t need the traditional stuff. The way the cousins interact with their grandparents, the way the friends talk so much mess, there is just banter on banter between everyone and it was so good. This was just a vibe all the way around. A story that is just pour joy and love and laughs.

Y’all!!!!! This book was too funny and I don’t even think
It was meant to be. Baby Exodus was a menace like y’all gotta understand he was extremely crazy (it will make sense when you read it) and I loved it. That man told Paxton that they go together and he meant it with his entire soul. I mean he was setting places on fire, killing niggas, spending time with his in laws and this girl only knew partially what was going down. And let’s not talking about the kcid he was putting down and giving Paxton I’m talking about it was nasty af. Paxton I hate how full of crap your brothers were, like they were trash. You were a warrior despite how they turned on you. Exodus didn’t play about Paxton and I loved that for her because she needed someone who was capable of being therefor her in a way no that no one else ever had. I think Krude was low key my favorite person cause that boy didn’t have 1 serious bone in his body. This man walked around with bear pepper spray and had access to chlorophyll (po Megan). Just know y’all gotta read this book, it doesn’t miss and it’s go from start to
finish.

Ex & Hitta

Aubry J is one of my go-to authors, but this one was not up to par. It read like a rough draft. There were errors throughout, to the point of distraction. I left room for some minor mistakes, but there were missing and misplaced words on every other page, holes in the plot, and little character development. There were also too many cousins and names floating around. That last twist came out of nowhere and, in my opinion, didn't fit. It was just too much with the girls and everything. The ending just seemed thrown together.

It felt like the couple was forced, with them not even really getting together until the last 7% or less.

This one was a letdown and not the author's best work. I'm still a fan, but this wasn't what I've come to expect from Aubry J.

All Aubry J. stories bang

Paxton worked every nerve I have andddd made my titties itch but like always it was worth the 1’click. I just wished Paxton added gave more to Exodus than attitude with her selfishness at times. I loved his character so much I just wanted her to reciprocate something besides what she gave at the end of the story.

Exodus and Paxton

These two are the funniest couple. They just fit together perfectly because they go together. Even though Exodus is crazy he made sure to protect Paxton at any cost and I loved that for them.

EXODUS & PAXTON 🤎

ASIDE FROM THE EDITING TOWARD THE END OF THE BOOK AND NAME MIX UP THIS BOOK WAS PERFECT FROM START TO FINISH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

WHEW CHIL THIS WAS THE STORY I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED UNTIL I STARTED READING AND HATED THAT I HAD TO PUT IT DOWN YESTERDAY TO GO TO WORK🤣. THE BIBLE THUMPERS ARE CRAZY ASF, BUT THEY KEPT ME LAUGHING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BOOK. THE PLOT TWIST THAT I DIDN’T SEE COMING LEFT ME CLUTCHING MY IMAGINARY PEARLS CAUSE WHAT THE ENTIRE F**K😳😳😳

DARYL AND NIECEY SHOULD’VE LEFT PAXTON ALONE, NOW THERE GONE🤷🏽‍♀️

HER BROTHER CADE PROVED ME RIGHT AND I HATE THAT I WAS RIGHT ABOUT HIS SNAKE AZZ. HOLANDA TOO. THAT BIH WAS PLAYING 🥷 LEFT AND RIGHT. BUT THAT PLOT TWIST WITH NAEEM😳😳😳. LET’S JUST SAY I CAN’T WAIT TO READ CROSS STORY CAUSE AIN’T NO WAY AUBRY J AIN’T PUT WHAT SHE DID TO THE PHUCK NINJA IN HER BOOK.

THAT DANG KRUDE IS A FOOL AND HIM AND MEGAN🤦🏽‍♀️

YEAH CROSS AND NINA GOT SOMETHING BREWING AND I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THEIR STORY🥰

EX & HITTA❤️‍🔥. THESE TWO WERE WAY WORST THAN THE REST OF THE CREW. THEY WERE TO DOMINATE INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE USED TO DOING ISH ON THEIR OWN TERMS WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. PAXTON WAS JUST STUBBORN ASF AND SPOILED. SHIT, SHE MADE ME WANNA SHAKE HER A FREE TIMES, LOL. EX DIDN’T KNOW IF HE WAS COMING OR GOING ONCE PAXTON HAVE HIM SOME. PAXTON WAS TRULY A SOFT GIRL WHO HAD TO BE TOUCH BECAUSE OF HER SURROUNDINGS. EX WAS A TRUE HITTA WHO FEEL HARD AND DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE EMOTIONS. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THEIR STORY AND WAS A LIL SAD WHEN IT ENDED. BUT I KNOW I’LL GET TO CATCH UP WITH THEM IN THE NEXT BOOK.

I WORKED MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK🔥🔥🔥🔥

P.S. BE SURE TO READ TRENCHES AND WAIT FOR ME BEFORE HAND😘

No Redemptive Qualities

I read Mercy and Givens story and liked it so much that I went to the other cousin's books to see how it all began. Unfortunately, I was very underwhelmed with Exudos and Paxton and their storyline. While there were moments that pulled me in, mostly because of something funny, the moments soon passed and I was just reading to finish it. The plot twist with her brothers didn't give what it was supposed to give and also, there was a lot happening by way of grammatical errors - sloppy things like one paragraph Judah was 3 then he was 4. Then one sentence said Ex was laughing and literally the very next sentence said he didn't crack a smile. A few sentences and scenarios were repeated but with added words like the editor forgot to delete it the first time, then add the typos and misused words... this should have been a DNF for me. I just had to see it through though, and honestly, the ending had no major redemptive qualities for me.

Whew Lord

HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING TRENCHES & THEN WAIT FOR ME FIRST‼️

Listen we know from wait for me that Exodus is a little crazy & definitely about that life we also see that Paxton has a little backbone & is a spit fire HOWEVER Paxton surprised tf outta me. Now she’s no trenches (Monica) but when it comes to the people she loves ohhh she turns into a beast. Paxton & Ex was effing people up left & right. I loved it. The twist in this book was good too I knew something was up but I didn’t expect what happened to actually happen but shot out to Ex & his people for being there for Paxton. I love this friend group..Krude (Genesis) had me dying laughing because he has nooo sense whatsoever I know Judge & Sasha’s book is next but I can’t wait to see the toxicity & badness of Cross & Nine.

love to see it

Ex & Pax are definitely cut from the same cloth. They are just alike. Most people say opposites attract but that not true in this case. From the beginning, this story kept my attention. Some of the things that happened in this book, I certainly didn’t expect. Something told me that big bro was up to no good but I didn’t expect for it to be what it was. Then to find out that the little brother was on the same type of time broke my heart right along with Paxton’s. I loved Krude. There wasn’t a single scene with him that I didn’t laugh. There is not a single doubt in my mind that he isn’t missing a few parts and screws. I need proof that Yolanda is gone but I also need the girls to be okay.

Cross and Nine’s story is going to be wild. I’m ready for that ride.

When You Think Loyalty Is In Those We Trust!

Aubry J, I so loved this read. Thank him you on the updates with Mahogany and Focus. But baby baby Exodus and Paxton had me in stitches. How could anyone not enjoy this crew. It was just enough of drama to keep you wanting more.
That dang gone Krude was it for me. Unfortunately, Paxton had to hurt some but Ex had everything she needed. I just loved this read. It started out slow but boy oh boy did it make this one of my favorite reads.🤗🤗🤗🤗

Exodus was crazy! He came off low-key but was anything but. Then what do you expect of Krude's cousin. The 2 are more alike than he was willing to admit, lol.

An emotional headstrong Paxton is running around seeking answers after someone tries to kill her baby brother. She enlisted the help of her long-time crush.

The man simply decided she would be his and bulldozed his way into her life. To the point of delusion, really.

Where is 9 and Cross' book?? It has been teased here and on Genesis, and I am ready!!

Exodus Was So Emotional!!

Exodus is a business man who prayed before he went in for the kill. Paxton is also a business woman. She wasn't ready for a man like Exodus because he came with that BDE and didn't let have her way plus he told her no plenty of times. She was also emotional especially when it came to her brothers even when they tried to play her. Paxton hurt Exodus feelings when she was talking about him. She had to psych out to keep for falling in love with him. Krude is hilarious. They are two of a kind, they go together real bad.

Is it love? Or is it toxic?

I’m stuck in between two things. The first is that I think this relationship is toxic as heck. Between Ex telling Paxton that they are in a relationship without any form of communication. Then you have Paxton who is the man in her mind putting Qumars life in jeopardy. Idk it seems like disaster is inevitable. My second thought is awe Ex really loves her he is just slow. lol, steer clear of that mess.

Poor Paxton won’t have anymore siblings left. Her parents are burying 2 out of the 3 children.

hilarious 😂

I’ve read these out of order and completely enjoy each of them regardless but thissssss Exodus was a WHOLE delusional fool behind Paxton. I enjoyed the flow of the story, though some grammatical errors tripped me up a bit, the story still ate!

Idk if all the Bible thumpers and Numbers have a book but if so I would read them all frfr. From the laughs alone with Exodus and Krude you can’t be disappointed

Movement of Jah People

This was a great read. Ex was dat dude, of course. Paxton got on my nerves. She kept playing with this man! He made it clear from the beginning that he was for her. I’m glad he didn’t give up. There was a part of the story when she really hurt that man. I felt bad for his crazy self. But this is a romance after all. So we still got out HEA. But I don’t think she deserved it. Exodus can definitely swing my way. 😂

Ex is literally everything!!!!!

So I feel like every new book I read I say “wow, I love him” but I truly think Exodus is it for me. I would like it to be known that I feel like every move he made was valid. My man can do NO wrong & I will shout it from the roof tops!! Also, a couple that prays together, stays together, right? Right. So anywho. Read the book!! It’s funny & captures your attention from the very beginning.

Must Read

This book will have you in stitches! Exodus is wild, but pair him with a crazy-in-love partner, and it’s nothing but fireworks. Paxton is my type of woman—she lets her emotions guide her, but every move she makes is justified. And that plot twist at the end? Baby, I did not see that one coming. A must-read!”

It’s engaging and makes the book sound like a thrilling ride!

Emotional Highs

Paxton and Exodus were hilariously toxic—yet cute. You could tell Exodus was out of his element in his pursuit, but the man was committed. Pax was just as crazy as he was, but even she had limits. The issue with her brothers was just sad. Here I was upset with one and then I had to side eye the other. Whew chile. Anyway…I’m working my way up to Krude now because I just know he’s about to have me cracking up.

Best ghetto love story!!

If you like ghetto love stories, this book is for you! Well, that’s not what the author called it but that’s what Paxton’s girlfriends said their story was. And it was that and so much more!!

Paxton and Exodus are two of my favorite characters from other books, and their love story was ghetto as hell because the are so much alike that it’s funny.

This is definitely a must read!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Exodus had me rolling for real like how serious he was with the stuff he said just had me cracking up him and Paxton belonged together,the only thing that got on my nerves is that when she was wrong she didn't apologize to him cause she was in the wrong instead it was like he had to go her and that irked me lot other than that this story was done well and moving on to the next family members so far Exodus & Paxton, and Givens & Mercy are my favorite couples.

Redemption of Love

Exodus & Paxton gave you a headache but a good one cause rather she knew it or not, they go together!!!! The fact that Paxton’s family secrets were meant to eventually harm her is just sickening. Also the fact that she almost lost her man due to stubbornness made me want to shake her all because she couldn’t do the one thing he asked her not to do which was act off emotions. This whole family is funny & I’m invested!

When two crazies fall in love

Man Exodus and Paxton are some serious nuts but they are so perfect for each other. Even though Paxton just thought it was all about sex, she had to learn the hard way that Exodus was hold her down 10 toes. Now I can't wait to see if Cross and Nine got something going on, overall great story
