Beauty Of A Monster Duet #2
Redemption
Loss and deceit: heartache that destroys hope.
William Marshall-Croft locks himself away once more, punishing himself for his mistakes and keeping all that he loves at arm's length. But the light that had seeped into his life in the form of Josephine Bell is too powerful to ignore.
A realisation that pushing away his demons won’t make them disappear has him swallowing his pride and battling them head on.
In the face of adversity, William is desperate to keep the tattered strings of life from fraying, and to give Josephine everything she deserves with the strength of his love...even though it may be too late.

About the author
Eleanor Lloyd-Jones
14 books159 followersEleanor Lloyd-Jones is and always has been a perpetual daydreamer. A mum of one and a full-time primary school teacher, she spins plates and chases her tail in order that she can live out the dream she has had since being a little girl: to write stories.
Like lots of indie authors, her dream is to hit the big time, make all the lists and have some hot-shot movie producer pick up one of her books and turn it into the next blockbuster. Until that happens, she is content to type away, bringing her imagination to life, and just hopes that the people who read her words get some sort of enjoyment out of them and love her characters as much as she does.

Beauty of a Monster is a story of love, loss, hope, mystery, blame and forgiveness. Redemption is the second book in this amazing duet and continues where Seduction ended. I absolutely loved it! The whole story just blew me away!
Throughout Redemption, Josephine continued to show us just how big her heart really is. Her patience, love and understanding are just a few of the attributes that this wonderful woman possesses and I hated every time she was found to be hurting. I also fell in love with William more, if that was possible. I continuously wanted the strength that we all knew he had inside him to overpower the weaknesses that controlled his life. When you’ve blamed yourself for past events for so long it is truly hard to let go, and I could see and feel Will’s struggle. Finding one person to help you through those times of need, to steer you out of the darkness and towards the light is so important, and I hoped that Joey would be able to achieve this to allow Will to leave the past behind.
Redemption will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride. You will laugh, smile, cry, despise and also find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat at times. I adored the closeness between many of the characters and how they would do anything for each other. They all added to the story brilliantly, even if there were one or two that I wish I hadn’t been introduced to.
Beauty of a Monster exceeded my expectations and I am truly thankful for the recommendation to read this duet. I thought both authors wrote this story beautifully and I can’t wait to read more of their work in the very near future. I can recommend this story without a second thought. I know you will adore it just as much as I do.

This picks up from book one with Josephine still recovering and Will still suffering in solitude. It was a fab conclusion to their story with an overall feeling of hope for the future with relationships mended and some emotional family moments. The second half of this book was much faster paced with a lot going on and a rollercoaster of emotions.

Joey and Will’s story continues! This sequel has it’s fair share of heartbreak like the 1st but it also has lies , deceit and most of all... Hope!
Hope for a past to forgive and move on from and a Hope for a Future so bright it blinds.
Kudos to these two authors for bringing this story full circle and giving us readers a wonderful story!

What a second book to this beautiful duet!! I’ve been awaiting the ending of what I knew was going to be a fantastic book! And the authors didn’t disappoint.
The book starts where book 1 left off, and tells the rest of Will and Joeys story. They had me smiling like a goon at some points and shouting at my kindle at others—Simon, anyone?! That man needs castrating! NOW!
Again, the supporting characters are just as important as the main ones, and are my favourites! That ending?! I can’t say because I’ll spoil it, but I was aww’ing like mad!! I love it!!
Now... Danny. I need more of him! He’s so bloody perfect!
What a sweet ending to a heartwarming story! I look forward to more from this duo

In the first book we experienced a lot of heartache and revelations that had us scrambling to catch our breath at the tragedy of it all. In book two we are trying to move forward and have hope that Will can make a change for the better. Joey and Will work through a lot of issues, have some surprises, and a evil person trying to tear them down in the process. It was a much easier read with the past now at the forefront. It was a read with hope, love, hot sex, and issues that could be relatable. I loved their story and the way the authors dragged us in and spit us out with a new perspective on love.

This book is the perfect conclusion to Joey and Wills story!! I was rooting for them from beginning till the end....and i won’t tell you what happens because you have to read it for yourself! Just know that Eleanor L. Jones and Katie Fox did and amazing job!! It starts right off where the first book ended and takes you on a ride of emotions! I laughed, cried and wanted to punch a certain someone!! All the other characters were just as amazing!! So well done you two for creating such a beautiful story and i hope everyone goes and reads it <3

I loved the conclusion to Will and Joey's story - I knew it wouldn't disappoint after reading the first book. I was taken on a real journey of emotions that definitely tugged at the heart strings on occasion.
The authors wrote such likeable characters.....well, apart from one or two.....I may have wished a painful death on at least one of them! *cough*Simon*cough*.
I also loved the humour and one-liners from the secondary characters - it made for a really hearwarming book.
A fabulous duet from two very talented authors!

Beautiful ending to a beautiful story!
I feel like I have waited forever for the conclusion to Will And Josephine’s story! But let me tell you it was well worth the wait!
I was already invested in the story from book one and eagerly devoured this one as soon as it was available! Push and pull, steamy sex, heartache, heartbreak, a very despicable villain, family, friendships, healing, and most of all love are all ingredients for an amazing read and BOAM2 has them all!
Lloyd-Jones and Fox make beautiful stories together and I plan on reading any and all they create!

I was delighted when I realised book 2 of the duet was out and one clicked straight away. I then started reading and fell in love again with Will and Josephine's story.
Their love story doesn't run smooth, Will has issues to deal with, but Joey has a big heart and is willing to work through said issues with him, ONCE his done some serious making up lol.
My emotions went through a lot reading this book, it made me cry, it made me smile and made me feel warm and content.
This is a delightful series which I loved losing myself in.

I was so excited to hear BOAM 2 was being released! So much intensity and uncertainty! Joey's recovery broke my heart. And Will had a lot of soul searching to do. Their story definitely shows you that the strongest loves cannot be broken. I loved Joey's drive and determination. This book brought me through so many emotions. Anger, love, passion, fear! Such a beautiful story. And these characters just pull at your heart strings so much. Loved the story from beginning to end!
