They met while he was undercover…

While working undercover, Cormac Knight fell for the wrong woman. Then he was forced to leave without a word in the middle of the night to keep them both safe. Even though he hasn’t contacted her since, she still haunts his dreams. When fate gives him a second chance, he’s determined to make things right—even if that means she starts a new life without him.

Then he left her behind…

Daniela has never forgiven Cormac for leaving the way he did. But she’s got problems of her own. She’s been trying to make a clean break from her criminal family for years, and now time is running out. When he suddenly appears out of nowhere and offers to help her, she cautiously takes the lifeline. Unfortunately the chemistry between them is still off the charts. And if they’re not careful, that connection could get them—and everyone they love—killed.

REVIEW:KNIGHT’S REDEMPTION is the third instalment in Katie Reus’ contemporary, adult SANCTUARY FALLS romantic suspense series focusing on the Knight siblings. This is former DEA operative Cormac Knight aka Connor Robertson, and gallery owner Daniela Ruiz Hill’s’ story line. KNIGHT’S REDEMPTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient third person perspectives including Daniele and Cormac KNIGHT’S REDEMPTION follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Several years earlier Connor Robertson walked away from the woman he loved, leaving a heart broken Daniela Ruiz wondering where everything went wrong. Fast forward to present day, Daniele’s life is spiraling out of control, and her criminally connected family is at the top of the proverbial food chain but when her friend and investigator Greg Temple is murdered, Daniele finds herself on the run with her former lover Connor Robertson, a man who is not as he presents himself to be. Connor Robertson is former DEA agent Cormac Knight, and the man who has never stopped loving our story line heroine. Daniele had been planning her escape from her questionable family but the family is taking aim at our story line heroine.

The world building focuses on the Daniele’s family’s connection to underworld crime: their control of law enforcement and abuse of power, and Corma’s extended family who have the ability to take charge when Daniele’s world begins to crumble.

The relationship between Cormac and Daniele is one of second chances, a rekindling romance betrayed by secrets and lies as Daniele struggles to forgive the man whom she still loves but Daniele has been working behind the scenes to take down her father, and Cormac’s connections to law enforcement are the perfect foil to get the job done. The $ex scenes are limited, intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting including the return of Cormac’s siblings and their significant others. We are introduced to Daniele’s father Alexander Hill, her brother Julian, and Julian’s second in command Logan Brown. The requisite evil has many faces.

KNIGHT’S REDEMPTION is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, greed and obsession, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is intriguing, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic.
