Forbidden #4
Craving Redemption
A one-night stand I can’t get out of my mind.
Trey was only meant to be a distraction, someone I’d never see again.
Turns out the man starring in my wild fantasies, is also occupying the desk next to mine.
My experience with men tells me that he can’t be trusted, but my heart— and body, tells me something different.
His demands for more weaken my resolve, and I find myself craving a man that’s over a decade my senior.
I can’t escape the memories of our sizzling night together... I don’t want to.
He could be different, but was I willing to repeat my mistakes to find out?
Dear reader,
Craving Redemption is the first part of a duet that features secondary characters from the first three books in my Forbidden series. It's a steamy older man office romance that's sure to melt your heart and panties, and leave you begging for more.

Tracy does a great job with the page-turners and cliffhangers...maybe too good. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it did, so did my heart. Erica and Trey are a train wreck waiting to happen. How they recover will be the real story. The next book can't get here soon enough!

I love Tracy Lorraine’s audiobooks! The dual narration by Rachel Woods and Sam Turvey were incredible. Trey and Erica’s story was so good and that ending… now I need to listen to the next book. Craving Redemption by Tracy Lorraine is an EPIC audiobook that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

Loved this book. I did not know it was a part one of two when I started...my fault. However, I loved it so much I one-clicked part two.

*ARC Review*
Tracy Lorraine does it again! Craving Redemption is a fabulous spin off from her Forbidden series. While you don't need to read that series to appreciate Erica's struggles they do provide a nice backstory to the other characters in this book.
We first met Trey in book 3 of the Forbidden series, Fighting for the Forbidden. Other than a quick intro we really don't know anything about him. Having read the Forbidden series I was fully aware of Erica and all of her issues. Erica endeavors to redeem herself and her past mistakes in Craving Redemption. Her plans are nearly derailed when her one night stand with a mysterious stranger leads to yet another office fiasco when said stranger appears as a new employee a few days later. Can Erica maintain a professional relationship with Trey and prove to her boss that she is a changed woman? Not likely. Trey pursues Erica with a fierceness that is unmatched and which I doubt any woman could resist.
Craving Redemption is book 1 in a duet and can be read separately from the first 3 in the Forbidden series. I don't recommend that though, not because you'll not understand parts of the story line, but because the first 3 books were fantastic. This story ends in a cliffhanger and you will need to read book 2 to see if Erica & Trey get their HEA.

This was a really good read. Steamy and emotional, Trey and Erica's story is an older man/younger woman romance. I liked these two together so much. I felt that their pull of attraction, the heat of their chemistry and the intensity of their emotions shined through each page of the book as their relationship evolves from one night stand into deeper feelings and a powerful connection neither expected. This is the fourth book in this series and if you have read the previous books these are that characters will be familiar to you as they have appeared as secondary characters. If you haven't, this is a great place to jump in because Erica and Trey's romance is set to unfold over a duet of books. So yes, you will need to be prepared to wait for the next book to get the end of their story. I am posting a frank, freely posted review.

Craving Redemption by Tracy Lorraine is book 4 in the Forbidden Series. This is the story of Trey and Erica. I have read the previous books and this did help me enjoy this one but the previous books just had them as secondary characters. So with that said, this could be a standalone book.
Trey and Erica have a hot encounter where Erica is sure she will walk away clean from that night. But then at work who walks in by Trey and that night isn't going away. Erica tries to keep that night at bay with no plans for repeats but Trey has other plans.
Their story doesn't end in this book so we will need the next one to finish their story.

What another amazing book in this series. There’s no holds barred with the hotness in this book as it’s right there in the first few chapters. Totally mind blowingly amazing.
Erica is a character we have met before in the three previous books about Ben and Lauren’s story. How can she redeem herself for her part in the company’s financial problems? The pull between her and Trey is stronger than either of them realise. They both have skeletons in their closets and are guarded. This isn’t the end of their story, the next book will hopefully answer all the questions left hanging at the end of this book. I dare you not to fall for Trey and his sexy alpha sexiness.

Craving Redemption by Tracy Lorraine is the story of Trey and Erica. What started as a one night stand ends up being so much for these to characters. Both are trying to start fresh after bad relationships so their walls are up and not necessarily looking for something serious. Little do they know they are both what each other needs.
Tracy Lorraine does a great job with these characters and their story was a great fast read that didn't lack in content or chemistry! Keep in mind that this book ends in a cliffhanger but you will want to continue with the story without question. Be warned!

This book was definitely one I enjoyed. Which is not surprising because there hasn't been a Tracy Lorraine book I haven't liked. The story was captivating throughout the entire thing. You see these two main characters, Trey and Erica, in the previous books in the series but as supporting characters. The interaction between the two is hot. They start off instant sparks and it continues throughout the book. There is so much to this book that its just the beginning of Trey and Erica's story. I can't wait to get more of their story and see where they journey takes them. I definitely recommend this book.

Erica!!!!
That was my first thought. After reading about her throughout the Forbidden series I hoped to high heaven we'd get her story!
Enter Trey.
There is just something about an older man, office romance that makes me swoon! From the moment Trey and Erica meet, sparks literally fly! Trey was dead set on winning Erica but she was so obsessed with redeeming her past mistakes she fought it.
And that cliffhanger?
I knew this was a wreck in the making but damn did I enjoy the ride!

Whoa
Didn't see this one coming!
I knew from the first book after Lauren found the accounting error , her dad was even more a monster than originally seemed and guessed he was embezzling.
Didn't see E's involvement coming though. I LOL'd when the 3rd book ended with Trey's entry. I figured he'd be fireworks with E.
Totally didn't see Trey with a wife. Looking forward to the next installment.
Hope it's as hot as this one.

Wish I knew before going into this is was an accidental pregnancy and a father of teenage girls.
Those two tropes are not my thing - with the accidental pregnancy automatically giving a book 1 star.
Being with the mother of your baby because she's preggers isn't love and isn't a romance story. It's obligation that's not even necessary anymore and for that, being with your pregnant SO doesn't indicate love or romance.

Well, I don't know what to make of this one. I liked the sexy scenes, and I like one of the tropes at the end, but I don't like the conflicts. I especially hate that this book has a cliffhanger ending when it was so short to begin with. Like, just combine the books. Anyways, I'm going to continue with the series, but it's nothing special.

Wow! The ending leaves you wanting more!
Twists and turns at every corner. Everyone needs a Trey in their life! I couldn’t put this book down and I’m excited
To see what comes next for Erica and Trey!

Erica & Trey
Are mentioned in the 3rd Forbidden book, and their chemistry is off the chart for an older man/ younger woman.
Tracy has a talent for developing characters And emotion so realistic, she also LOVES teasing us with these cliffhangers 😅

If I broke this book (the 1st in the duet 4th in the series) into 3 parts, it would be like this: Part 1. Good for you Erica and Holy 🔥 Trey
Part 2. Awe poor Erica and Awwwwe Treeeey
Part 3. Holy 💩 Erica and WTF TREY!!!
Now, on to book 2 for the conclusion and HEA I'm desperate for.

This is Book 1 in the spinoff series from Forbidden. Erica was a key player in that series. Now seeking redemption for her past mistakes she wants to impress her friend, Lauren and boss, Ben. Her roommate Joe talks Erica Into going out for a night of fun and ends up having a one night stand with a handsome older gentleman that rocked her world. A few days later Ben, her boss announces they have a new employee and to welcome Trey ( her one night stand)! Can these two be professional or is the Redemption Erica seeks going to fall away. I just hate if when it ends on a cliffhanger . Good storyline and awesome characters.

Just an okay read. I liked the chemistry between these two, but it was obvious that it was part of a larger world, and I didn't like not having read the previous books first. It would have been for background information, not anything between these two, but I think it would have made the story way more enjoyable.

this book was so good, It feels like you can really relate to Erica. the twist at the end I was not expecting. I can't wait to start the next book in Trey and Erica's duet 🖤
