DoubleVerse #3

Double Redemption

Rate this book
The city of Chicago has many hidden treasures. Iced caramel macchiatos with extra whipped cream and caramel. Dirty politicians. And a man that needs redemption.

Romeo leads a life of very organized opulence and luxury. He is highly skilled in the art of eliciting pleasure and comes from money. Old money. Not only is Chicago and its dumpsters very dear to his heart, but it’s also where everything started going very wrong for him four years ago. Romeo has undoubtedly brought himself under a lot of scrutiny over the years. Wherever Romeo goes, bad luck seems to follow. His string of misfortunes have led to a noticeable drift between himself and his comrades. Will he be able to win back their trust? Will there be redemption waiting for him?

Double Redemption how about Double Emotions?!

If you haven't dived head first into the DoubleVerse already, I don't know what's stopping you. Each book just gets better and better and I can't even imagine where Bridget will take us next. Romeo's story starts where everyone else's does except he is on a journey to make up for mistakes, some that aren't even his own. We get to see a joyful side to these characters we've grown to love and then we go darker than we've ever gone. I'm still crying and I don't know if I'll ever get over this one. Five stars all day long.

This book was amazing and probably my favourite of the series so far. Romeo was more of a side character so far in the series, but in this book, he takes centre stage.

I loved learning all about Romeos' past it made me understand him so much more, and I absolutely loved the developing relationship between Romeo and Echo, and I am here for where it goes in the future.

This book was all go and had me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning, but that cliffhanger...... Bridget, why do you gotta do this to me 😭. I will be not so patiently waiting for the next instalment of the double verse world to find out what will happen next.

Make sure to read Double Reverse and Double Masked before jumping into this one!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this series and the direction it’s going in so far!🥹 This one is probably my favorite one so far. I love the character and the main side character, and i was SO happy to see where that went! THE ENDING THO!?!? Bridget and I have beef about that right now!😂 I’m falling more and more in love with this series with every book that comes and I can’t wait for the rest 🖤

Favorite characters Echo and Romeo!

I have begun this journey with Bridget’s very first book Double Reverse. To tell you I was hooked is an understatement. Her books will grab you the instant you turn the first page. This is her third book in the series and do I love any one book more. No! She has kept the momentum going with each exhilarating chapter. She is at the top of my list of favorite dark (very dark) romance authors. A special thanks goes to Emily Davis (aka Ducky) for recommending this author. This series is about Dabria, a woman who has suffered many years of abuse from her husband. Little does she know she has five protectors (stalkers) who will protect her at any cost. Wait till you see the cliffhanger at the end of this book. (Oh yes girlies). In this third book she has her divorce and is quietly living her life not knowing that someone is out to hurt her. The men think it’s wise not to tell her so they have been ever vigilant in Secretly keeping her safe. I will not give any spoilers but suffice to say there are plot twists and the Italian mafia have their sights on Dabria as well. Dabrias ex is all sorts of crazy!!! My advice is study the trigger warnings and if you are brave enough then jump in with me and have the ride of your life. See there are 5 FIVE MMCs who all are obsessed with Dabria. They all belong to a professional “security” company. Not a legitimate one. No one stands (not for long if u get my drift) if you get in their way. There is smut, smut, love, lovers (MM) (MF) (MMF) (MFF) (MMMMMF). You have to start with the first book Double Reverse to understand this whole complicated relationship. Bridget is phenomenal in telling Dabrias story. She makes it so easy to follow. Her writing is impeccable, the plot perfect, the love scenes smutty and steamy. What r u waiting for? It’s available on KU right now.

I posted a review on TikTok and Instagram and Facebook. If you would like to see my reactions to this book please watch them.

To understand, Double Redemption you need to have read Double Reverse and Double Masked before this one.

Once again, Bridget Howell did it again the writing is flawless it’s catching and it brings you in and you don’t want to stop reading until it’s done.

The ending of this book had me in tears. I had to actually get online and post about it because I am so mad the book ended like that. I felt lost and betrayed, heartbroken and mad because the next book is not out.

This book centers around the characters of Romeo and Echo, mostly Romeo you get to see into his past and the present and you get to understand him more, which I loved. It feels like out of all the characters Romeo has the softest heart, but can still kill you in an instant.

Double Redemption does have smut or spice whatever you want to call it. It has love and romance, and it has death, destruction, and vomiting moments.

Please don’t take my word for it. Go read the first two if you have not done so already and hopefully you make it this far because these books are worth reading.

Oh my gosh! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This is Romeo’s story and it’s amazing yet why did it end on a cliffhanger 😭

Romeo is a total H-O-E and my goodness are his scenes spicy! There is one scene in particular in this book that gives us a preview into these boys and how they are with each other and it is hysterical. It’s when three of them are in a room together cause they’re traveling and one of them(no name drops here)with a towel proceeds to take it off and wave himself in a helicopter motion while his friends giggle and tell him to put it away because he doesn’t have a permit for his weapon 😂😂😂 absolutely hysterical.
You do get flashbacks to the other books throughout this book, which I find awesome because I feel like it ties it all in very well but I will also say there is a connection between two of the men and oh my God, I am here for it!
The ending of this book had me in tears oh my God please don’t let it happen. I cannot have this man die. I’m praying when book 3 comes out he is okay because I don’t want a Romeo Juliet scene!

Holy HA-LE!!!

You know that moment when you think, “I know she didn’t just do that?!” “Please tell me this is a joke or I’m hallucinating.” “It’s tequila!! Has to be the tequila!” This all happens in the last 5 seconds. My brain has left me… It short circuited. I am done!! 🤭🥹

Double Redemption is my favorite book in the #Doubleverse series. And I know I say this every time but I swear, this time, this time Bridget Hale has really gone and done it!!

Firstly Romeo is a God. His character was written so well. I absolutely fell madly in love and then… well then Bridget ripped my heart out of my chest. Romeo’s love story has left me all in my feels and I can’t get enough of it. All the butterflies.

Double Redemption is filled with the most delicious spice, friendship, trials and tribulations, love and at the end of it all, finally… redemption!

I can’t recommend this book enough. The whole series has been fantastic, but this one.. has stolen my heart.

Bridget you have done it again, you have pulled me into the story of Debria and her men and left me there!!

In Double Redemption we learn Romeo's point of view through everything that's happened and oh boy a lot has happened that we didn't know. If you're like me you're going to want to throw your Kindle (please don't!!) or throw your book. (Please don't do that either!!) Be ready for some surprises and to count down the days until we get the next book, I know I will be!!

Just like the other 2 books the more I read the more I want to know about these characters. In this book you get to know more about Romeo’s story. I have to say Bridget has a way to keep you interested in what the next page is going to bring and the way this book ended! HOLY COW!! I know there’s going to be 5 books in this series 3 down and 2 to go. I can’t wait to read the next 2 and see how everything plays out. Then I hate to see this series end. I have grown to love each character for different reasons. Double Redemption is an amazing story and Bridget out does herself with each book. With that said I know the best is yet to come and inquiring readers need to know the rest of this story.

I swear every book I read by Bridget just gets better and better. I love this dive into Romeo. I fell in love with him the whole time. He is the biggest playboy along with Whiskey and Echo. I loved seeing this perspective of the story since we had seen the other side already. The struggle he is going through with his family makes you understand his character and demeanor so much more. I also love watching the best friend relationship that him and Echo have grow. One mistake and he is spending the rest of the time trying to prove himself. Then that ending I am heart broken Bridget. I need to know what happens. All the feelings are there out in the open but do they matter. Also I love how you mad all the time lines line up with double masked. Whose perspective will we see next?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The third book in the RedemptionVerse.

Romeo, oh oh Romeo. We get a look at Romeo’s past and learn a little more about Echo, with some casual breeze throughs by that cutie Whisky.

Romeo’s family connections have always been something he did not any to rely on. He wanted to be his own person and make his own name. He is strong and capable, but holy hannah, does trouble ever follow him wherever he goes!

It was a wild ride. I love Romeo and Echos relationship. All five of these guys have such amazing stories to tell. I thought I had a fav out of the Alphabet hotties, but now I don’t know…. Why choose, Dabria didn’t.

The ending. My heart!!!! I’m still screaming into the void.

I need book 4.

Bridget Hale NEVER disappoints with the spice!!! The DoubleVerse always brings the storyline and heat! I love the back story of meeting Dabria. Romeo’s been on bit of a rollercoaster with the ups and downs. Bridget’s writing although I thought was amazingly perfect from the very first five meat pizza book in the series Double Reverse has only got better with each book. I truly don’t know how she does it but she does it and then some! I’m on this crazy ride till the end and I MUST get the next book ASAP! You do not want to sleep on this series at all! Ohh and THE BANTER…. top notch!!! Also umm can we talk about Romeo and Echo?! I’m here for it!!! Must read Double Reverse and Double Masked before jumping into Double Redemption!

I love how this starts before the other two it shows you how everything came to happen. it even shows how the dynamic between the guys is. I love how Romeo and Echo's relationship is and how it slowly progresses. I feel like Echo has just been waiting on Romeo to get with the program! Romeo seems to have been dealing with a identity crisis due to who his family is and who he wants to be. he thinks they have to be separate but he doesn't realize that he can be both and it not effect who he is at heart. he works so hard to prove himself to everyone when he is really only fighting himself most of the time. I do hate that is left me screaming at the end. That was a mean cliff hanger. now all i have are more questions!!!!

Ok i didn't think this series could get any better but the author just keeps knocking it out of the park. Double Redemption is told from Romeo and Echo's pov. You have everything notorious womanizer fights his feelings for a certain friend all thr while juggling tracking down barret and clearing his brothers name, and after several screw ups he feels he has more to prove. Throw in some incredible spice and an ending you wont see coming go check out this amazing series I promise you wont regret it.

Romeo,Romeo,Romeo, it was a perfect Segway into the other characters of the book,I loved this story,I loved how he jumbled all his feelings and finally realized how much him and Echo belonged together.What I didn’t like is….I won’t ruin it for you 😂 so go grab it!!!

Such an epic book!

My dear Romeo, I’m obsessed!
Double Redemption is told in Romero’s point of view. While still incorporating Dabria and everything that has been happening in her life.

I love that we get a look into who he is and how he fits into the team and even a little about how he’s tied to the entire situation.

Romeo is dark, daring, and super spicy. I love the dynamic of the relationship between Romeo and Echo.

But THAT ENDING!!!!
What!?!?!?! I am not ok!!! How could you do that to me!?

I can’t wait to read the next book!

P.s. the spice is always nice!

Again, there is so much more information given in this book that adds to book one. The tension and struggle between MMC's makes this an even better read than before. The spice is spicing too.

Dislikes:
None

Overall:
I was ready to FIGHT at the end of this book. It does end on a cliffhanger for those who are not in favor of that! This book has one of my all-time favorite tropes in it, so when the sentences started unfolding, I couldn't put it down. I inhaled this book and will be rioting if the cliffhanger ends badly in book 4.

BRIDGET HALE. The author who knows how to butter you up so well, bring you to that edge and leave you there. Though this time it feels like I got pushed over it. MY HEART. I am not okay. I really enjoyed the kind of twist in our MMCs storylines that I didn’t see coming. It goes so much deeper that I was expecting that turn to go and I am here for it, I am on that ship. I may be biased but chapter 11 is my favorite. I’m going to need the next book PRONTO.

Oh my gosh this book, this author is just. . . . I really have no words!!!! This book is #3 in the series and oh my gosh it does not disappoint. Definitely keeps you on your toes. This book gives you a closer look at Romeo, Echo, and Whiskey and oh my gosh do you get a better look at them!!!! You have to read Double Reverse and Double Masked first before you look into these guys lives. Check trigger warnings

Double Redemption is Romeo’s backstory starting from the beginning of Double Reverse and following along Double Masked with finishing that ending. I love getting to know more on Romeo and him liking a girly fru fru coffee drink had me laughing. I’m mind blown and still processing a revelation that’s revealed.

But don’t talk to me about the ending I’m still upset with it. But Bridget likes her cliffies.

Romeo found love in such an unexpected place, he fought it for so long unsure that he should act on it. There was so much he had to go through to come to terms with it all, and in the end sometimes we are better late than never. Book 3 in the DoubleVerse series showered us with a lot of depth, and incite into Romeo and the meeting of Dabria as well. Thank you Bridget for bringing us such juicy and spicy stories!!!

Romeo oh Romeo... Always the underdog and forever my hero. His story is one of my favorites. The boys find themselves in wrapped in our girl Dabria's story. Trying to keep her safe and well I won't get into the spoilers.....

Come join the ride while the boys find themselves a lil more and come to love our girl even harder. I can't wait to see where Bridget takes our guys next!!!!
