Redeem Me

A Forbidden, Hot Single Dad, Billionaire Romance (The Beckett Brothers, Book 2)

De: L A Gallagher

Narrado por: Betty Black, John Lane

IVY:

I'm the queen of handling tiny tyrants—I've been nannying since the era of bedtime bribery. But there’s no guidebook for living with Dublin’s most notorious grump and widower—my brother’s brooding best friend.

Mr. Tall, Dark, and Tortured isn't just a challenge; he's a full-blown occupational hazard.

Under his icy shell, a fierce fire burns. Every fleeting touch ignites an attraction so intense it’s impossible to fight.

He's broken.

And I'm compelled to fix him.

But who will fix me afterward?

Because if my brother discovers our forbidden fling, it won’t just be fireworks—it'll be an inferno the size of hell.

And that’s before Caelon's shadowy past comes bulldozing back into our lives...

CAELON:

I live for two things: my kids and a relentless pursuit of revenge for the love of my life.

Tragically, I'm failing at both.

Then Ivy Winters, my best friend's sassy little sister, blazes into my world in search of a job and a fresh start. And while she's babysitting my children, I'm stuck with a promise to her brother to keep an eye on her.

But Ivy defies my rules.

Challenges me at every turn.

And somehow, she manages to ignite a spark that threatens to melt the ice surrounding my heart.

But just as I start to see the possibility of a life beyond my pain, the past comes knocking, demanding its due.

Now, I'm faced with the ultimate choice: revenge or redemption…

Redeem Me is book #2 in The Beckett Brothers series. We were introduced to Caelon in book #1 and he was the devoted husband/father to his wife, but the cliffhanger was a car accident. No surprise that Caelon is now a dark, tortured, and widower single dad, living with guilt, and an ice cold heart. Ivy is "the child whisperer" and loves being a nanny, but her family is always pushing her to get a "real" job. She is sunshine, he is darkness and despite their age-gap AND that she is his best friend's sister, he can't deny the physical attraction. I loved everything this story has to offer - grumpy/sunshine, age-gap, forbidden, forced proximity, intrigue, banter between the brothers, and a dirty-talking single dad that keeps it steamy between the sheets! Yes, yes, and YES!

The duet narration by John Lane and Betty Black is incredible! John Lane is a top 5 narrator for me, so add that sexy, growly Irish accent to Caelon's broody self and yes daddy, it's a winner. Betty Black is a new narrator for me and she did Ivy's character proud. I will definitely be looking for more from her. Loved this duo. 5/5 stars! 🌟

I really like the ebb and flow of the books. I connect well with the characters.

This series makes me happy. I love the story, the banter, and the characters. I love how the Beckets are so complex yet committed to the women they love! I cannot wait to listen to the entire series! Ivy and Caelon have a dynamic that’s easy to picture myself. The simplicity of possibilities makes the read all the more enjoyable!

Love the Single Dad/Nanny Trope

Hey everybody and welcome back to another audiobook review today. We are talking about redeem me. This is the second book in the Beckett Brothers series. I originally thought that this book was gonna be a dark mafia romance. Turns out it wasn’t but I still had a great time listening to this audiobook. The story revolves around Caelon, he is a multi billionaire who wants a whiskey business, along with a chain of hotels, and Ivy, who is his best friend Little Sister and his new nanny for his two kids. I absolutely love the single dad/Nanny trope I always think it’s one of the best kind of like forbidden romances as it can get, especially now with the little twist that this is his best friend little sister so by bro code that means she’s automatically off-limits. I had absolutely loved the narration of John Lane and Betty Black. I thought that John Lane Irish accent was very on point well done, I don’t think he could’ve done it any better it was phenomenal. This was actually my first time getting to listen to Betty Black and she absolutely was phenomenal as well especially with her Irish accent. I don’t think it could’ve gotten any better in that with her as well. She knocked it out of the park with this performance as Ivy. If you were somebody who loved the good girl effect, you love the single dad/Nanny trope, that forbidden romance, age gap I highly recommend that you come check out this book. It’s an absolutely amazing story, from Caelon being this widower, thinking that his life is over and now his new nanny Ivy has basically brought him back out shell and he’s able to feel, able to spend time with his children like he used to and it’s just a wonder redeeming story!

Caelon Beckett is a favorite BBF

REVIEW • Redeem Me by LA Gallagher
I thought James Beckett was top tier billionaire book boyfriend… and then his brother Caelon walked in like a storm. He’s the definition of broody, haunted widower energy — living for his kids and the promise of revenge. He is ice and grief with walls so high you can’t see the top.
Enter Ivy Winters — the new nanny with sunshine in her voice — who knows exactly what and who she wants. Also… his best friend’s little sister and the stranger he couldn’t keep his hands off of at the bar a few nights ago. She wasn’t supposed to be the one to thaw him. But here we are.
Tropes that hit EVERY time:
Billionaire/Nanny
Brother’s Best Friend
Forced Proximity
Opposites Attract
Single Dad
Grumpy / Sunshine
Possessive MMC
The duet narration by Betty Black and John Lane? Immaculate. Betty gives Ivy that soft, steady warmth — like you can hear her capacity to love. John is Caelon — all gravel, grief, and barely-contained obsession. You feel every silent war he’s fighting.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
