by AlTonya Washington

**THE TESANO BOXED SET IS NOW AVAILABLE- VISIT ALTONYA'S WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE**Brogue Tesano had been the black sheep of his family for years. In a family like the Tesanos, the distinction was nothing special. Then, a cold-blooded crime on a summer day changed that and Brogue’s life forever.Years later, Brogue Tesano has emerged as an unlikely hero but, not everyone is convinced he has become a new man. The fact is as much a curse as it is a blessing. The woman he loves has no place next to the monster he used to be. However, to prove his worth to those who still despise him and to himself, Brogue will need to embrace the horror of who he once was to return to the life he swore would never again have his soul.Marcella Cannon would stand by him-she had told him as much. She was his life, and nothing would change that. In a family like the Tesanos, however, ‘nothing’ could encompass a realm of upsets. None was as upsetting as the truths one never saw coming. Truths so implausible, they were unthinkable.

It wasn’t what I expected, but I enjoyed it.

I probably should wait a couples days to write this review. Let the info marinate in my mind for a bit, but I’ve been knee deep in Tesano books for the past month.

I enjoyed Brogue’s book. I think that we’re all surprised that someone we hated for so long ended up being someone we were rooting for in the end. Brogue and Marcella were an awesome couple. It’s true that she reminds you so much of Giselle that you could see how their relationship resembles Gabe and Giselle’s so many years ago.

A couple of things are still unfinished and I have many questions, like..Brogue heading the Tesano Organization is unfinished. It seems that we got off that storyline towards the end, not sure why, and Vestige to be as prestigious as they are, I was surprised by a couple of mistakes that occurred under their watch.

The highlight of the book was of course Brogue finding out the origin of his heritage. What an emotional ride. That was only secondary to the long waited confrontation between Brogue and Smoak.

I always enjoy the Ramsey/ Tesano books and this one is no different. I know that there will be more answers (and probably more questions) as the series develops. I always enjoy the ride and the catch up with all of the couples. Definitely can’t wait for the next one. Enjoy!

Wow. A Lover's Redemption did not disappoint. Brogue Tesano has a lot to atone but there are secrets that could have negative impacts and spiral Brogue back into his old life. His relationship Marcella Cannon is explosive and with all the secrets from the past, will her love help Brogue to survive. Read a Lover's Redemption to find out.

As always Altonya Washington crafts a story that will draw you in not wanting to put the book down. Hats off to another good installment in the Ramsey/Tesano saga.

Great read

I read this before reading the Tesano elders book for reference. I absolutely loved reading Brogue's story. He went from big bad scary Tesano cousin who I kind of hated a little bit to a complicated character that I grew to love. I love his journey from the time we first learn of him early on in the Ramsey/Tesano series to now and I love that he got a happy ending, not just with Marci but with his family!

Brogue Tesano's Return

So glad Altonya Washington brought yet another book in the series. So many questions on how people think. The lengths people are willing to go to get what they want is increfulous. Altonya did not disappoint and I love catching up with everyone from the series. Can't to see what happens next.

I LOVE this series

Another awesome read!!! I absolutely love this series!! Altonya Washington does it again. The gritty saga of the Ramsey and Tesano families just gets better and better. I'm so glad that Brogue's story was written and that we will get more. I highly recommend this book as well as EVERY book in this series. You will not be disappointed.

I read the entire Ramsey/Tesano Saga more than twice but can't get through this book. I felt the story to be unnecessary. I gave it 25% and I can't get myself to keep reading. Maybe in the future I'll read it to the end. I am sad and glad to see the series come to an end. In a perfect world I will see this entire series on screen.

And it continues

I enjoyed Brogue and Marci’s story. Glad Brogue is a changed man. The mystery continues and the suspense is still there. I was surprised by the Brogue secret but it was great. Looking forward to more.

Another good one

I enjoyed this book. It answered all my questions. Can't wait for the next installment. I've read all of the books in this series. I highly recommend reading them all.

[Avid Reader · Rating 2 out of 5]

Who uses phrases like "verbal accompaniment?" The author even confuses the names of the characters at one point calling Roman by the name of Gabe who is another character in the story. The writing is horrible, proofreading and editing is needed,, and the pacing of the story is like watching paint dry. I made it to about 35% of the book before I put it aside. Giving it 2 stars is being generous.
