Imogen Wells is a dark romance author from the East of England, where she lives with her husband, three children and the family dog and cat.
After being a stay at home mum to her three children, Imogen decided to go back to school. In 2020 she graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in History and English Literature.
When she is not writing, she can be found reading, binge watching Netflix shows or Boxsets, and every Sunday she is cheering her son on at his football games, no matter the weather.
I cannot put in to words just how much I enjoyed this book, well the whole series in fact. Redemption was emotional and powerful. It was action packed from beginning to end. I could not put it down once I started.
Whatever comes my way now, whatever life throws at me or the crosses I have to bear, I will do so gladly if it means I’ll earn even an ounce of redemption.
Redemption I don’t truly deserve.
Like a thief in the night guilt can awaken you from the deepest of sleep and leave you clutching the sheets.
Each memory is a harsh slap in the face as they come forth to drag you back to the nightmare that you barely escaped.
Those ghosts will never leave you and the scars serve not only as a reminder...but as a punishment.
Everyone thinks I’m the solid, dependable one of the group with a cool facade that’s unshakeable, but the reality is, I’m good at hiding it.
Rick has always been two steps ahead of everything, planning everything to detail and knows that he has his team as back-up when things go a little awol. Setting up Triple R Security gave Risk a focus that he needed and a distraction from everything else that was crashing down around him.
But the demons inside of Rick like to nip and scratch relentlessly, reminding Rick of the past, situations that were out of his control and actions that proved to be worthless. However, there is one other shining star in Risk’s life, that pulls him away from slipping any further down the dark hole….his son Max.
“You torment me. I’m constantly at war with my body’s reaction to you, and I should stay away from you. You should make me stay away from you.”
“Maybe I don’t want you to stay away.”
Fate has a way of kicking you in the arse though.
For that one person to enter, all fists and fury wrapped into one.
To look deeper, stroke all your dark edges and consume you from the inside out.
“I don’t need a man to save me. I need a man who will stand beside me in battle, not in front of me.”
Renowned for being a badass Jessica has worked hard to achieve everything that she has. Not following her fathers wants, Jess is her own woman in a very male dominated field...but she couldn’t care less. But, one job is about to throw her off course and have her down on her luck.
Jess is in a desperate search for answers, chasing every lead and leaving no stone left unturned. But, digging too deeply could see Jess turning down a path that she didn’t even see coming. Should Jess fear finding out the truth...or what the truth will do to her?
Pushed hard enough...and then you snap.
Maybe someone will catch you...pushing you back up.
Side by side you can do anything...even fight the demons together.
“I told you once before I’m not a gentleman and I should stay away.”
Rick & Jess…<3 I think you know within the first meeting if two characters are going to click together or not, and I think it’s fair to say that these two not only clicked...but licked the embers of the flames!! Also by now, you know that all of these characters are going to have a past that we can wait to dive into and uncover every inch too!
So, I loved reading all about Rick & Jess. I couldn’t wait to read Rick’s story. I feel as though he's had an interesting past and something happened but wow once you find out how it all leads together...just yesss. Then add in Jess, oh my didn’t expect her at all and Jess is perfect with the dark edge adding even more to this series.
I really didn’t know what to expect when I first started this series, the world that Imogen has created. I love all the references made. I find them refreshing and everything that happens is believable, down to earth with heartwarming touching scenes and scorching sinful pages making you want to go back and read it all over again.
Of course, we catch up with the rest of the current favorite characters and meet a few more along the way...one particular that will leave you crossing your fingers for...in meeting again!
We all have demons that feed off our pain and grief, and we all live with regrets. But how we manage those demons is what determines who we are.
I really love this series and this book is fantastic. Jessica and Rick are one bad*as couple. Alone they are fantastic but when they get together they light one another on fire. They try to deny their desire for one another, just saying its just sex but life has other plans for them. When life throws one tragic event after another at them and at the team they bound together to overcome. There was a lot of suspense in this story which I love. I absolutely love all of characters in this book and Roxy is a hot. I can't wait for her story, I know it will be amazing. You would never know that this author is fairly new. She is fantastic and can't wait to read more from her
I really enjoyed Rick and Jess’s story. I was sucked in from the start until the last page. There was never a dull moment and I couldn’t put this down for fear I’d miss something. I felt these two were perfectly matched. They evened each other out, both with issues and the hardness of letting someone in. Questions are answered, but hold on tight, you might not be prepared for what’s about to transpire. Awesome read, the whole series is amazing and I highly recommend you read it.
Rick and Jess’s story was addicting beginning to end. These two couldn’t deny the connection they had no matter how they tried and with each blow they got closer and closer and it starts a story that is full of suspense and love
I really love this series and this book was just stunning. So many twists and turns. I couldn’t stop reading until I got to the end and had all the answers. I love the push and pull between Jess and Rick. It made their happy ever after so much sweeter. I highly recommend this series. It’s amazing!
5* Rick meets Jessica when the Triple R team are called in on a case. He never expected to see her again but their lives are destined to meet again. Things aren't adding up on this case. This book had me from page one to the end. I definitely recommend reading it and the whole series.
This series is one I will remember, it's a beautifully tangled web that Imogen has created, it absolutely blew me away! -----
This book was completely amazing. From the suspense, to the steam, to the way all the little pieces of the puzzle came together—it had me absolutely hooked.
Rick and Jess—with enemies to lovers relationship—had me frustrated, laughing, terrified, as well as straight up gasping in places.
There's no doubt about it, Rick and Jess stole my heart. As did the beautiful bond Jess built with his son, they were the sweetest!
If you haven't yet dived into the Triple R security series, you are definitely missing out.
Redemption /rɪˈdɛm(p)ʃ(ə)n/ noun 1. the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil.
Redemption comes in many forms, and when it’s wished for, it has a unique and personal meaning for that person. Rick and Jess’s book is raw and powerful, bringing to a close, Author Imogen Well’s TRIPLE R SECURITY series. She has left me gobsmacked, almost speechless as I try to simply string some coherent words together for this review.
I have to stress now the importance of reading the first two books in the series first. The titles RISK and RECKLESS perfectly describe the journeys of the couples within their pages, and REDEMPTION is no different. The characters are a well balanced combination of broken yet strong, and recur throughout with the exception of Jess who we met in this book, along with her kick-arse best friend Roxy. At the end of each book, Ms Wells’ readers are repeatedly begging for more, and I can see why.
Jess had such a cold and hard upbringing and as I read through, I became more devastated for her loss, and at the level of betrayal committed by her parents. In spite of this, she became such a strong woman, and with each chapter, I admired her more, even as I was desperate to know her secrets. True to form, Ms Wells answered questions that I had stashed away in my reading notes, only to raise more. Questions begat questions, and I sat reading, paralysed by tension as I wanted to read one more chapter, one more chapter to find out just what the hell was going on!
I absolutely loved the tension and attraction between her and Rick. It was like an incendiary chemical fire 🔥🔥🔥 – completely out of control. Jess was strong and capable, she’d had to be to survive her family upbringing, and the attitude that Rick gave to her, she gave back in spades. I completely adored the character that Ms Wells created for her.
I believe that it is Rick who is the most broken of our heroes in this trilogy. I felt his loss and guilt soul deep, and I totally admired and loved his honour and loyalty, and his love for his son, Max, who was a gorgeous little trooper. Even as I detested Rick’s coarse treatment of Jess at times, his POV was so well and profoundly written that I understood where his badly considered reactions stemmed from. My heart broke for him.
Remember Roxy, Jess’s kick-arse best friend??? She has more secrets that a sunken ship and kept them locked up tighter than a SentrySafe. With a teaser at the back of the book, it seems we are going to be treated with her story next. I can’t wait, and I’ll be stalking Ms Wells on social media. I need her to hurry up with Roxy’s story.
REDEMPTION and it’s predecessors have more twists and turns than a cheap garden hose, and I was kept hanging by the suspense thread of Ms Wells. What a superbly written plot she has put together. If dark romance suspense reads are what you are into, then this trilogy is what you should be reading. Seriously they are all 5-Star-must-reads 🖤ೋ
Where do I start with this review? I needed to sit back for a bit to let everything that unfolded in the story swirl around my brain and sink in. This third book in the Triple R Security series was full-on, non-stop, jam-packed filled with drama and action—and I loved every minute of it! I was hooked from the beginning and completely absorbed in the story until the very last word.
I absolutely loved Jess, she is such a kick ar*e all-round fabulous woman who has come through adversities and out the other side to be bolder and stronger. Her fast wit with her sassy comebacks help to lighten things at times too. I have always liked Rick and still do. He is the man! He gets things done and demands answers. I really like how he and Jess helped each other, their push and pull builds incredible sexual tension. They had such amazing chemistry, it literally sizzled off the pages.
There are some terrific new characters in this story but none better than Roxy, she is my new favourite. She’s so strong and self-assured—fantastic! I look forward to reading her story in the near future. Max nearly stole the show too, his innocence is the perfect counterbalance to the criminal and more sinister elements. What a cutie he is and pretty switched on as well.
The emotions that I experienced when reading this story were wide and felt deeply, such is the quality of the writing. Right from the very beginning my heart was high jacked and immediately squeezed tight. I found it difficult not to be suspicious of every character, and to be fair, that was a good thing but the twists that do come make you want to throttle the ‘baddies’ in the story.
I certainly can’t get enough of this author’s words and creativity and look forward to reading her next book—write faster please.
Rick and Jess's book gives you a whole of emotional twist, a big dose of suspense, bucket of steam, with intense turns and bunch of action. Rick part of Triple R security, lost his wife 5 years ago and only takes care of his son Max and goes thur the motions everyday, but he is has secrets from his past , loads guilt but when he meets Jess under an extreme situation things start to get more complicated. Jess bodyguard, has a not had it easy with an uncaring father, mother and trying to find out more about her brother's death. When she is taken things in her life go from bad to worse, when she meets Rick things start to unravel and become more complicated. Will these two and the team be able to figure out everything before it's too late? Will Rick be able to let got of all the pain and guilt and move on with Jess? Will Jess be able to do the same or will everything get ruined by circumstances and other people? I was completely floored this read I couldn't put it down. Each page gave you a little more and when all it came out I was like no way. These two will melt your heart, kindle, and soul and will have you wanting more. I laughed, cried and was taken on a roller-coaster ride of everything. I so can't wait to read what this author has next
Wells continues to amaze me with this debut series! It has the perfect combination of action, suspense, and hot and steamy romance. Rick was a wild card for me. I didn't know if he would be able to get back in the saddle per se since he lost the love of his life in a tragic scenario 5 years ago. He became a self-proclaimed bachelor from there on out and only focused on his son and work. Love was never on his horizon again, so he thought, until in walks Jessica. See, Jess isn't some wilting flower waiting around for a man to come save her. She's been making it on her own despite the crap hand she was dealt in life but even she can't resist the temptation of Rick. She doesn't make it easy for him though and I love her for that. Rick needs someone who will stand up to him but also always have his back and with all the twists that get thrown at them, they are definitely going to need each other. Secrets get revealed that neither one of them are ready for but it could very well be the key to Rick's redemption.
Book three of the Triple R Security series and my heart was definitely not ready.
Most definitely the most emotional, powerful read of this series… All this time, I thought Risk would be it for me but Redemption proved me wrong.
Rick and Jess are badass! Never a dull moment or falter of spark in this conclusion. I have zero shame in saying I am obsessed with these MCs and was sad to say “The End” to this series as a whole.
You know when MCs try to deny a connection with one another. They ponder the feelings a few times but neither want to be the first to dive in with both feet? Spot on, and worth every single page! With each obstacle that met them, Jess and Rick somehow managed to keep things together and make it through to the other side.
It was amazing to continue reading how Rick’s character developed, especially after seeing a lot more of him in Reckless. I’m so thrilled he was given the chance for an HEA because if anyone deserves one, it’s him.
Thank you so much, Imogen, for the opportunity to read your backlist🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Triple R are called in for a case and after five years Rick feels what he didn’t think he would again, but he knows nothing should come of what he feels but he can’t help the feeling he has around Jess. Jess had so much to overcome, and she starts to come out the other side that she didn’t think she would. Heading out she see Rick at the bar, he’s a temptation she knows she should resist she knows she can’t but the way he reacts after leaves her confused. They both have demons that they are fighting, while fighting the attraction they both feel, convincing themselves it’s only sex. They both agree that it’s only sex, but the lines start to blur. When their demons come to the present for both Rick admits that it was always going to be more, he can admit it but can she. Can Jess get over what she found out, to find out the truth and see what could happen with Rick.
Perfectly executed, this is truely an unforgettable story that will hook you in and leave you with the best of book hangovers. I love, love, loved this!!! What a way to round this series off. I had literal tears at the end and that’s a hard feat to achieve. Action, arrogance, badassery and alpha broodiness, love, most definitely redemption, and the right amount of dark for my soul, it all made my heart full. When the threats continue to come it’s only natural the team at Triple R continue to swoop into action. The plot continues. With this being book 3 it is highly recommended by myself that they’re read in order. A great binge. One heck of a series!!
Right from the beginning my Heart was in my mouth, the anticipation and fear made my hairs stand on end. Rick's 100% pure alpha, I absolutely love his brutish persona and dirty mouth. Jess strong willed, fiesty and doesn't need anyone or anything to look after her. The insane Instant chemistry with these two was amazing, it kept me gripped. From cover to cover I couldn't put it down. This author just goes from strength to strength, every book im more gripped, more in love with the characters and more in awe of the pure brilliance thats spilled out onto the pages.
This series is definitely one that I won't forget and will definitely be reading again and again for years to come.
Having read Risk and Reckless I instantly started looking forward to this third installment! I was so glad to jump back into the Triple R Security world and get fully into this story. I enjoyed Redemption!
Jess and Rick's journey kept me on my toes throughout, wondering what all was going to happen. I really liked how quick this story and it's characters grabbed my attention. I enjoyed feeling so many things throughout reading this one!
With Redemption, Ms.Wells has created such a good read that'll be sure to pull you in! I am so looking forward to reading what she comes up with next!
*I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book from the author*
I have absolutely loved this series and all it's characters. I was drawn in and didn't want to live the Triple R security world until the very last words...and now I'm sad it's over. Rick totally broke my heart at places.. I wanted to hug him so badly (also he's a hottie and I'd never refuse a hottie hug 😉) Jess was set up to fail from people she least expected it from but her kick butt feisty attitude was everything! These guys together are amazing and to see how Jess protects Max too was swoonworthy! Twists, turns and secrets galore keep you flipping those pages and unable to put this series down.
This book starts straight into the thick of things. So much happens, I didn’t even want to blink in case I missed something. It was full of drama, action and suspense. I was hanging on the edge of my seat till the very last page. It was awesome!
Redemption is book 3 in the Triple R Security Series. So if you haven’t read previous books, you so need to read them. I highly recommend.
What a fantastic book! I only discovered this author recently and have absolutely devoured the 3 books in this series! To think these were the first books written by this author is certainly mindblowing. Exciting story, wonderfully complex characters and intense passion! Absolutely 5 stars but do not feel that is enough. I recommend this book unreservedly! I will now be author stalking!
I love the Triple R security crew and I think Rick and Jess are my new favorite! Rick is lost in blaming himself. Jess is a fierce woman who also has similar issues. Together they are pure FIRE but so unsure of themselves. This story has action, suspense and twists that keep the pages flying. Excellent read.
Holy moly. My brain can’t form words… how to write a review when you’re still processing? Can you google that? No idea but wow, this one was nonstop from the beginning. So much suspense, intrigue, drama, steaminess, twist…iness… not sure about that word but it has it all and will leave you wanting for more!
Wow.... these two hurt my heart. The pain and trauma they survived is heartbreaking. But boy - so many questions answered. I'm sad that this world has ended but these two definitely worked for it and deserved their hea. What a world of secrets, lies, forgiveness and ultimately, happiness you created imogen. This is the perfect definition of found family. I adore them all!
Loved this series so much, the suspense, love and family. A little bit gory and dark, but a great read. Couldn’t put them down. Will definitely read more from Imogen Wells.
Another brilliant read! All 3 books in the Triple R series have had me gripped from start to finish. Just the right amount of 😈 mixed with a storyline that links all 3 book together! Perfect!
I absolutely loved Jess & Rick’s story! ❤️ This third book pulled everything together that’s happened throughout this series, and tied it together nicely! There was so much action from page one to the last page, and I couldn’t put it down! These two really tried fighting their pull to each other, and each had understandable reasons. Their stories tugged at my heart! My emotions were all over the place, but that ending actually made me cry. Jess & Max stole my heart…yeah have your tissues ready! I am absolutely intrigued and can’t wait for what comes next! 😍
What a fantastic read this book was.i cannot rate this book enough In my eyes and honest opinion this book kept me engrossed from start to finish and I truly loved every page from it being written brilliant to fantastic characters and storyline I will definitely be looking forward to more from you imogen
Rick & Jess! With a side of Redemption! Since Book 1 I have been desperately looking forward to getting Rick's story and god it was all I had hoped for. From start to finish I was utterly hooked and couldn't put this book down. It was action-packed, suspenseful, drama filled, emotional, steamy, a little humorous, and riddled with alpha-ness and a whole lot of OMG twists and turns.
I freakin loved Jess, she is such a sassy and strong badass! Not only did I admire her strength (particularly after what she has been through), but I loved her caring and understanding nature, as well as her quick wit and sass which at times added some much needed humour / lightness. Rick! Holy Alpha-Ness with a large side of Swoon. Throughout the series we've seen Rick be a take charge man but god I loved seeing all of his layers. He's protective as hell and absolutely swoon-worthy. And... Rick's son Max absolutely stole my heart. He's so innocent, sweet, loyal and brave. I just wanted to give him a big squishy hug. So.... I'm not going to lie a deceased partner story sometimes makes nervous. Will they really be able to openly love and give their heart to another? But.... Rick and Jess are undeniably meant to be. The way they support each other is perfection and the chemistry between them is instantaneous and electrifying. The sexual tension between them was next level and the push and pull was a little angsty and aaahhhh at times frustrating. But.... when they finally let their guards down and willingly opened their hearts they were perfection together.
I experienced so many emotions while reading this story and can't recommend it enough.
I can't wait to see what Imogen Wells comes up with next!!!
