HOLY MOLY!!!!!! L hit a homerun with this book! It is WAY different than the first 3 books in the series. It was suspenseful and so good. L’s book gets better and better each time she writes. L is so talented. This entire series is brilliant and well written. I really like how in this book she changed it up a bit, I was on the edge of my seat thinking what is about to happen. There were moments where I was had to read over because I couldn’t believe that happened.
In this book Megan and Mark’s relationship is tested big time. Someone from both of their past work together and try to destroy them. They all get hurt in more than one way. Megan has to make some very tough decisions that will make you drop the book. I cried a lot in this book because of the situation that is going down. All you want is for Megan and Mark to be happy together, but life keeps getting in the way. Can they survive this? What will happen? All I can say is L you better hurry up with the next book.  This series Like I said before is a must read.

I was looking forward to reading more about Megan and Mark and wasn't disappointed. It is a true love story. Mark worships Megan's daughter Lucy even though she isn't his.

When Mark and Megan’s pasts team together to blow their world apart, it leaves Mark in the hospital after and attack. Megan has no choice but to choose her daughter over Mark. Even though I was rooting for her to explain to Mark and not break his heart in two, as a mum I understood Megan's reasons. Poor Mark, my heart ached for him.

After making her decision and landing them all in hospital, can Megan and Mark move past the horrific event?

I was happy to see Megan and Mark get their happy ending, they deserved it.

WOW JUST WOWZA what a ride that was. L Chapman has really done a amazing job with the believe series, each book just got better and better. It concludes Megan and Marks story. It was so gripping I couldn't put it down until I finished it. There are so many twists and turns I was gripping the edge of my seat. What a roller coaster ride, you will NOT be disappointed with this series, I fully 110% recommend this series. I can't wait to see what L Chapman writes next, I for one will defiantly be keeping a close eye for her next novel.

I truly wanted to love this story, especially with it being the final instalment to the series, but as with the earlier books, I struggled to make real connections with the number of characters involved, as well as all their independent storylines.

It was certainly more action packed as we read of the turmoil Megan is yet to face. But when it comes to true love or maternal love, there’s only one option when a mother is pushed to the limits.

Again, a little predictable. I found myself increasingly frustrated, because as with all the other books, I just didn’t feel them. Didn’t find the characters to be as true or as “real”.

The formatting as to chapters ending and starting also seemed a little skewed. Didn’t impact the story too much generally but could be a little distracting.

This review seems full of negatives and I hate that...I definitely had high expectations from this series so I’ve maybe set myself up for the fall! But I do admit to loving the cover for this little beaut!

I have received an ARC copy of all book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This series were my first books by Ms Chapman and although I did enjoyed the concept of the books, the style of writing was not really appealing for me.

Trust - Believe #1
In here we meet Megan. Young woman who was hurt by her ex-boyfriend, who left her after she discovered he is married and has kids. The only thing that was left after him, and will change Megan's whole life, is the small person that will be soon born. One night she meets Mark. Handsome and never-giving up man. Straight away she feels the pull towards him. They start off as friends and quickly feelings are developed.
Although, I liked Megan, I found her a bit too naive. And Mark? In this book he was a bit way too creepy for me. The way he was scared of loosing Megan after few days of meeting her made my cringe and have shivers. Bad ones.

The book has a lot of potential and if the story was placed within months not days of developing serious feelings it would be perfect.

Veiled - Believe #2
This story is about Megan's best friend: Jenny. She is 31 days before her wedding with her fiance, Rich. Everything is supposed to be perfect, but Rich is different. He has changed. He doesn't want cuddles, all their routines are different and also their intimate life from being spontaneous changed to quickies. Jenny is depressed because of that. And one night, when Rich is off to Vegas to "think" she meets Warren. Handsome, stubborn. A one night stand changes everything for both of them.

Again this story had so much potential, but again way TOO many things happened way too quickly. I liked Megan's and Jenny's Friendship. You can see that they are really close.

Do you believe - Believe #2.5
This story was sweet. It's again from POV of Megan. They are all preparing to have Christmas together at Megan's house. Everything would be perfect, but Megan's ex-boyfriend starts to send letters and messages to Lucy, Megan's daughter, saying that he will take full custody of her and they will be together. Again creepy, but this time I like this creepy as something was happening.

Enjoyable short story, full of love, magic and Christmas spirit.

Redeemed - Believe #3
This book was awesome and to be honest it saved the whole series! Here we have suspense, danger and tough choices that Megan has. She is not sure what is best for her and Mark. She is put in the situation where she has to chose between him and her daughter. And despite how much she loves him, Lucy is her world. But of course there is the happy ending, but the road to it is sad and heartbreaking.

I was not sure if I would be able to finish all the books because of the style of the writing. Sometimes I found the sentences not finished or thoughts that were not really well developed. Also First 2 books were written almost like a shopping list. Pointing what has happened. But I have to admit that the writing has improved and I hope Ms Chapman will continue writing because the ideas of the books are good.

The hole series in my opinion deserve 4 stars.

This book was provided as an ARC as part of a blog tour and the review was first posted on Lily Loves Indie - http://lilylovesindie.co.uk/?p=445

Well what is there to say about this book? I’ve read the others in the series (see my reviews of Trust and Veiled), and so that helped me jump straight into the series. Although familiarity with the characters helped, this is the kind of book you could dip into without prior understanding as Chapman makes events very clear from the start.



The characters in this book, Mark and Megan, read much better than they did in the previous books in the series. Megan is much more independent and less needy, which I loved to see as this was something I had felt was lacking in her development as a character, so it was lovely to see an improvement. Equally, it was brilliant to see Mark helpless for a change. He always appeared to be so suave and in control, that to see him with his feathers ruffled was rather amusing for us readers!



The plot was fantastic. Honestly, I’m a teacher battling reports (perk of the job!) and I struggled to put this book down! It was incredibly gripping from start to finish, with some plot twists leaving me with minor whiplash as I struggled to comprehend how their perfect little world could come crashing down so completely and so quickly. Chapman wrote these changes very well, and they all contributed to making this book a fabulous read that left you hooked and wanting more. For once, I was happy with the way an author finished the book as I truly felt the characters deserved the ending they received (incredibly vague and annoying, I know, but you wouldn’t want me to spoil it for you!)



Finally, I feel it’s necessary to mention the way Chapman’s writing has developed through this series. At first, I did wonder whether I could enjoy these books, and I was honest in my reviews. I’m being honest again today when I say that Chapman is truly flourishing into an accomplished romance author, and one I will be keeping an eye on for more works of fiction.



To conclude, this book was incredibly enjoyable, a quick and easy read that is ideal for those of you with a hectic life needing a bit of an escape from the real world, and full of fantastic plot turns that keep you completely on your toes! The characters are fabulous, Mark is a dream, even if he is still a tad unrealistic at times (although this is something else that has improved) and I’d definitely recommend those who have read any of this series to make sure you go out and get this book. Equally, I’d encourage those of you who like a bit of romance to pick this up ready for your holidays as it would make excellent by the poolside reading!

I was provided a copy of the book by the Author for an honest review.

WOW this is not what I was expecting, I have read all book in the series, and I love them all, but this one just had me on an emotional roller coaster, this book had some twist and turns, that I did not see coming, and I love every single minute of it, love the characters and love how the book turn out to be. I am gone keep this short since I don't want to give anything away.

The story begging with Mark and Megan, after what Megan have being through, she finally is happy with Mark a man that love her and word ship her, and love her daughter, but everything seem way to good to be true, when things start to happened, on the day that Mark and Megan where gone have lunch with Annabella, they end up driving over to her house, once they got their they found Annabella outside, that's when she told Megan that she wanted to show her something, that's when Mark took the chance to go see the puppy, while Megan and Annabella where in the back, the decide to go back that's when they found Mark on the ground, that's when everything started to happened, their world started to turn up side down. Would they fight for the love they have for each other, or would they let their past get in the way.

I really love and enjoy reading this book, love how Mark and Megan are as a couple, and love it how you could tell how much they love each other, I love how much he love Lucy and love it when they finally got their happy ending. Author L. Chapman THANK YOU for this AWESOME, AMAZING, GREAT SERIES, AND WONDERFUL CHARACTERS, I LOVE Every single book in the series.

The Believe Series has been a favourite of mine since Trust (book 1) was released. I fell in love with Megan and especially Mark and have been anxiously waiting to get my hands on more of their story... Redeemed floored me.

L. Chapman stepped away from the style of the other books in the series and really surprised me with the story line. She did a great job of adding more drama and suspense that kept you reading and waiting with baited breath to see what was going to happen next.

Megan and Marks relationship gets tested beyond anything I imagined. Decisions are made and the results are heartbreaking. It kind of broke me watching what they were going through. The people from their pasts who cause so much mayhem in the lives, had me wanting to reach in my kindle and take them out so that Megan and Mark could get their happily ever after.

I thought the book was paced perfectly and flowed well, at times I got caught up in the story and didn't want to put it down when I had to. Redeemed definitely showed L. Chapman's growth as an author.

This series as a whole is absolutely one I would recommend and Redeemed just added a whole new facet to it.

As we reach the conclusion of Megan and Mark's love story, we are left with a sene that love always prevale.

Megan has been worried since John made it clear he wanted to be part of Lucy's life. She knows that the man she loves and the man she wants Lucy to call daddy is Mark, but in order to do that, she will have to push John out of the way. After being given a difficult task to do will affect her future, she knows that she must do it unless, she wants to be happy.

Mark loves Megan and he feels like he is Lucy's father, however after John enters their life, it seems that he is loosing his family and that he will not allowed it. He will stop at nothing to make sure Megan and Lucy's life is safe.

Will Mark and Megan will finally have their HEA? or will John destroyed what Megan and Mark worked so hard for Lucy?

This is a wonderful series. I will recommend for you to read it.

“Redeemed” was a fast-paced story with plenty of twists. I was on hooked from the start, trying to work out who would attack Mark, and then who had taken Lucy. The story is shocking and fast-paced.
The story shows Megan and Mark’s relationship being tested by their past. Both they, and Megan’s daughter, are targeted and put in danger.
Throughout the story I was genuinely worried about the characters and their relationships. Thankfully, friends and family helped them through such a tough ordeal.
The story was filled with mystery, and sharp twists that left me in shock. This was my favourite book in the series, and I was relieved when Megan, Mark, and Lucy, finally got their happily ever after, without having to worry about their ex-s anymore.

Can Megan catch a break at all? John now knows about Lucy. Mark is trying to help in any way he can.

Then all of the sudden lady luck takes a freaking vacation! All kinds of stuff hits the fan. Megan lives through a nightmare of all nightmares. Will things get righted, will people be safe. Can Megan and Mark’s Love survive?

I Want to tell you the answers to all these questions, alas spoilers!

I will let you know, that this book struck me hard. I had to put it down a couple times. Things that are going on with Megan, Lucy, and Mark just hit me in such a way I was terrified of how things would turn out.

With that being said, if you have read “Trust” and “Veiled” already. Jump on in and let L. Chapman take your heart on one hell of a roller coaster.

I want to say thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book picks up with Megan from Trust, which is Book 1 of the Believe Series. In Veiled, which is Book 2, we learn that John, Megan's ex and the father of Lucy, Megan's daughter, doesn't know that Lucy exists and is his. Once he finds this out he threatens to fight for Lucy and to take her away from Megan.

In this book you think you know what's happening and then BAM you get hit with big twists. This is by far the best book in this series in my opinion. Once I started reading I could not put it down and read it in one sitting....Stormi

Review for redeemed by l chapman 5 stars

This is by far my most favorite book of the series. It's the perfect amount of romance,suspense and it's a little dark at points. Meghan is a very strong woman and shows just how far your willing to go to keep your child and loves safe. Through trials and tribulations it shows a very real relationship and how strong mark and Meagan are for each other .I got very chocked up in the middle to end and thought it was going to have a very sad ending but in fact it turns out amazing and just the way I hoped. l chapman is an amazing author and I can't wait for more of her writing

A turbulent ride with a HEA!
Just when You think that everything is going perfect for poor Megan and Mark... BAM! Yeah not so much. This book had me biting my nails as the unleashing of the tragedy unfolded. Yes tears streaming down my face as I tried to cry silently at 3 am. Yeah not so much.... But totally worth it. I had a love hate relationship with Megan mostly live with the dash of hate but hey that's what makes a good read a good read.

redeemed is the final book in the believe series and it is definitely the best. the story is quick action packed and keeps you on your toes.

The past has come back to haunt megan and mark but will their love be strong enough to hold on and survive what's to come??

True friendships have been made throughout this series and it was lovely to see their bonds grow stronger and love flourish. Let's hope everyone can get their happy ever after.

The final instalment in this series. Can Megan and Mark get their happy ever after? Mark wants nothing more than to give Megan everything. Her past has other plans. Can they overcome everything thrown at them and come out the other side?
Another sweet read, the love of this couple can be felt through the pages.

Redeemed was a lovely easy read with a good storyline.
There are some tense moments in this book that make you want to read until you've finished it.
Megan and Mark are a lovely couple who you want to see work but can Megan shake her past to allow it to happen.
4 stars for a good read.
