Redemption
The Partners are back with a vengeance...
Everyone thinks I died three years ago.
I sacrificed my life for my friends.
To redeem myself for all my wrong doings.
I don’t exist. Not in the real sense of the word.
I’m just a man fulfilling my destiny that was laid out for me from the day I was born.
A man put in position to take over the largest criminal organization.
I’m just a pawn in a game with nothing to lose.
Until my past hits me like a freight train. The only woman I ever fell for reappears in my life.
But she isn’t just anyone. Her family is one of the most powerful mafia families in Italy.
And it’s the family I’m after for trying to take down The Partners.
We never should have been together. We never should have met.
Our story could start a war. Especially when she drops a bomb I never saw coming.
And now the stakes are so high even my own life is forfeit.
I may not exist.
But that won’t stop me from taking what’s mine.
And risking everything for a family I didn’t know I had.
**This is book 3 in The Partners series. While they are standalones, it is best they are read in order.
This is a dark romance suitable for readers 18+. This book may contain subject matter that can be seen as triggers.

Redemption is a standalone book set in The Partners series and tells the story of Mirabella and Kilian. Although this is the third standalone book in the series, I recommend reading the other two books in the series.
Ever since I read about Kilian in Atonement, the first book in The Partners series, I wanted to read his story. I’m so happy that Tori Fox gave us Kilian’s story because it’s one of my favourite books by her. Redemption was an amazing sequel, and I loved getting to know Kilian better. This book was a quick and enjoyable read with interesting characters!
Mirabella, or Bella, and Kilian got a second chance at love, and I was here for it. One of my favourite genres is Second Chance Romance books because the two main characters already have a past together, you get to learn how they fell in love with each other and you see them falling for each other again. I loved seeing this happen to Bella and Kilian because they’re such a good match. I really enjoyed reading in both POVs, and getting to know the characters.
I’m so happy that Kilian got his happy ending because he deserves it. Kilian is such an amazing man, he’s there for the people he cares about. I really liked Bella and Kilian together, and their story was so well written. All the books in The Partners series are so good, and if you’re a fan of Mafia Romance books, then I highly recommend Atonement, Repentance and Redemption!

This one conflicted me.
It very nearly was a 4 star for me, which is a shame as I was really looking forward to it, but for me personally I felt like every time the plot picked up or bombs were about to be dropped the steam got turned up instead.
Now don't get me wrong, I know MANY people who will adore every aspect of this story, but I just felt like a lot of the parts I was looking forward to, got rushed so they could go back to 'reconnecting'.
Now you're probably thinking I'm nuts for giving the rating I have with what I've said BUT when all the cards start to be laid out, it makes everything else worth it, that and the author left us with an ending I never saw coming.
Cannot wait for the next book!!

This is book three in The Partners Series. You need to read Atonement and Repentance before diving in to Redemption. After the way the second book ended I couldn't wait to get my hands on Redemption. Killian is not the most likable character in the world. I wasn't his biggest fan when we have seen him before. Now the man that was supposed to be dead and doesn't really exist in the world is back and he has a few surprises in store from him when he runs into Bella again. We find Bella filled with a lot of regret that she was never able to share their daughter's existence with Killian. And speaking of Bella, oh my goodness what a strong female character that she is. So as you can imagine Killian's world or non existent world is about to be turned upside down. However there is someone trying to destroy The Partners and he isn't about to let that happen. Bella and Killian are a perfect match. A man who needs to dominant and a woman who needs someone to take control. You guys are going to love this book. It has a little of everything going on it and and I was so thrilled to read it.

Let me start this off by saying...holy s#it this book was amazing.
It's a story of forbidden romance, suspense, second chances and some serious off the charts chemistry.
This is the third standalone book in The Partners series and it follows Mirabella (Bella) and Killain, two individuals that are part of two rival mafia families. She is harboring a secret and he is supposed to be dead. When everything comes to light and true enemies are revealed, weapons are drawn, families are threatened and death becomes inevitable.
The minute I opened this book, I found myself drawn into the story, not only because of how amazing the characters were written, but also because the plot and suspense and the entire storyline had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next.
If you like sexy mafia men with a heart of gold and a dirty...dirty mouth...this one is for you!
Kudos, Ms. Fox!

I love that Tori Fox is able to take an unlikeable character and make them irresistible. I wasnt a great fan of Killian before this book. But his reappearance from the dead and his haunted memories of the woman he once loved, Bella, combined with his filthy mouth and suave confidence make him a gloriously gorgeous male lead.
I am a big fan of the secret, hidden child trope. Bella is consumed with regret at never having been able to share their daughter's existence with Killian. She is an incredibly strong lead in her own right having been born into the mafia and learned to protect herself to keep out of harms way. But the way she melts at seeing Killian again and how his dominance seems to compliment her need to give up control once in a while, is sheer perfection in a romance couple. These two were firy passion, a little bit of kink, and a whole heap of dirty talking. I loved them.
This series has woven a dark and dangerous world around the secretive Partners and their far reaching influence. Combined with the threat of the Mafia and the complications of family, it all makes for a dark and suspenseful romance.

I have not so patiently waited for this book, and thankfully I received an ARC copy! Probably because I wouldn't leave Tori alone until it was finished!
This book is EVERYTHING I never even knew I needed!!! After she dropped that bomb on us in book #2, keep reading... I'm not spoiling it, I pushed her and pushed her to finish this one and I'm so glad I did!
It's perfect, and I think the best one she has written to date!!!!!!
PREORDER it now if you haven't already!!

OH MY EVER LOVIN' HOLY HELL! I LOVE this series of standalones (though you really need to read them in order anyway), because Tori Fox knows how to write one hell of a heroine so INJECT MORE OF THIS #GIRLPOWER INTO MY VEINS! I mean, Bella (aka Mira) was truly a bada** despite the fact that she wanted nothing to do with the crime family she came from, and the man she loved, Kilian, had his own crime family he was working for (the two families were big time enemies) and yet...you really need to find out what I'm trying to get at since I'll never tell. See, these two actually met & had some serious chemistry that allowed them to light the sheets on fire, even though neither knew the real identity of the other, but then she up & disappeared. There's so much goodness in this story that I can't even write this review without cheering all over again LOL, but that's enough out of me because no one should be reading reviews when they can actually experience it all by hitting those one click buttons! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I have been waiting patiently for this book, and Killian and Bella’s journey continues. After being apart for so many years, they have a love that does not die, and their chemistry is undeniable. This is a well written flawless story, which is a fantastic second chance romance, with vengeance, family, regret, conflict, tension, passion, drama, intrigue, lies, danger, suspense, secrets, and love, which all leads to a riveting and addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

This is Killian and Mirabella's story and it's a doozy for sure. This gives us more of Killian and his story of what really happened and what is heartfelt. They get their second chance at love, but more than that the drama and love are so explosive it will leave you wanting more. Secrets will be revealed and it will be up to these two to fight the outside forces and prove to everyone that love prevails. You have to read to get the whole story.

This is the 3rd book in the Partners series and it's so good! I cried in the when I read that Kilian died in the last book but when I saw he is the main character in this book I was so flipping excited!!
Kilian and Bella reconnect after 10 years and it felt like their chemistry never dimmed. The writing and plot was well written and I loved all the characters! Especially Aria, she is a sassy girl that is so smart for her age! I definitely recommend!! I can't wait for the next book!!

Redemption by Tori Fox is book Three in The Partners Series. This is the story of Mirabella 'Bella' and Kilian. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment/understanding of this one. So I do recommend that. Killian is thought to be dead but now in their present day he is moving forward taking over the family mafia organization. Mirabella is the family member of a rival mafia family. Before his 'death' Killian and Mirabella had interacted with one another and had underlining feelings. But now in their present day his secret of being a live is coming forward and Mirabella also has been hiding a secret of her own. Can these to mafia family enemies get their chance at love this time around? Enjoyed this book and this series.
