Publisher's summary

If a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. But what if he didn't love you first?

No-nonsense Liis Lindy is an agent of the FBI. Deciding she is married only to her job, she breaks off her engagement and transfers from Chicago to the field office in San Diego. She loves her desk. She is committed to her laptop. She dreams of promotions and shaking hands with the director after cracking an impossible case.

Special Agent in Charge Thomas Maddox is arrogant, unforgiving, and ruthless. He is tasked with putting away some of the world's toughest criminals, and he is one of the best the bureau has to offer. Though, as many lives as he's saved, there is one that is beyond his reach. Younger brother Travis is faced with prison time for his involvement in a basement fire that killed dozens of college students, and the media want a conviction. Travis' only savior is his unusual tie to the mob. In a deal that will spare his brother, Thomas has agreed to recruit Travis into the FBI.

Liis is stubborn and defiant yet somehow softens Thomas' rough edges, making her the perfect agent to accompany him to the ceremony. Posing as a couple, they must travel to Travis and Abby's beach vow renewal and give him the news, but when the pretending ends, she finds herself wondering if they were pretending at all.

In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox and how good love can be when you're not the first but the last.

Critic reviews

"The perfect blend of sexy angsty and sweet." (Mia Sheridan New York Times best-selling author of Archer's Voice)

"A fast-paced and sexually tense journey of two scarred soul mates. Add in a Maddox brother and the exciting world of the FBI? Unputdownable." (Penelope Ward New York Times best-selling author of Stepbrother Dearest)

Engaging

The characters were textured and so interesting. I enjoyed their complex personalities. I only wished that the author had developed the last few chapters. I wanted more details about events taking place in the last chapters. I want to know more about the time between the last chapter and the epilogue. I need details!!

Loved it!

I would highly recommend this one. It made me laugh and then I would chew my nails.

Love Thomas!

Finished in 1 day. Thomas is amazing and my new bbf...lol Favorite book yet and I loved Travis. Absolutely worth the credit.

Great story

Liis & Thomas are hard-headed, tough as nails FBI agents with their own agendas, but they work together to make sure justice wins. This story follows almost the same plot as the other Maddox brothers books so i can't give it 5 stars, but it's still great.

Awesome narrator great book

I love this series and the narrator captured the characters perfectly. So fun to hear parts from the other books intertwined in each brothers story.

Dear gawd Liis...

I haaaated the way this was narrated. She always made every sentence. Sound like a question, with a half British half robot tone. The story was good and of course I loved Thomas but dear gawd Liis. Get your shit together! I'm so sick of these needy conflicted women. Thomas says he wants to kiss you, you kiss him. Gah!

Not as strong as the rest

I wanted to love this book as much as the rest in the series but it just didn’t have same intensity, desire.
I liked the supporting characters enough and I love the Maddox boys but the female character in this was just not as all in as I’m used to from this author.
Worth the read because these books, though each are their own separate love stories, are connected and it is important in the timeline of events.
The narrator was ok for this but not awe inspiring by any means. I would have loved to have both a male and female narrator.
Overall, it was just ok in comparison to the others in the series.

Excellent book!

Wonderfully performed and the story was smartly written.
My first time reading this author's work but not my last. Now onto Jamie McGuire's next book.

Fantastic audiobook

What made the experience of listening to Beautiful Redemption the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the performance of the narrator she was engaging and brought a book that I already loved to life very well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Thomas he is brooding and bull headed but cares deeply for those in his life.

Have you listened to any of Meghan Wolf’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not but I would get an audiobook because she is the narrator.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh a few times but most Jamie McGuire books do.

Any additional comments?

Thank you for an audiobook that is worth the money.

can't wait for the next

I have loved all the books in this series so far. I started with Beautiful Disaster and then took me a bit but finally getting to finish the series
