First Impressions
Redeeming 6 is the conclusion to the duet story for Joey and Aoife. I will be honest in that the only thing that kept me with this book is wanting to see Joey have a happy ending, he really deserved to get one but this book will pushed my buttons and I was eye rolling all the way through this book. Now keep in mind I am not placing much judgment on the hero especially. Yes he makes some mistakes here, but many problems crop up because of this heroine. I feel like she caused so much more drama for Joey and made his situation so much worse at times and didn't take accountability like she needed to. So this book was a hot mess....did it have its swoon moments? YES Did it have the satisfying ending I was hoping for? YES .....but the path getting there was rough especially with it being so so long!!!

First Line
"You're fierce quest, Joey son."

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Joey Lynch
The Heroine: Aoife Molloy

Summary
Joey's life is in a tail spin and he doesn't know which is up and down. But he wants to get to a place where he is what is needed for Aoife, his family and himself. But he just doesn't know how to get there for her. Aoife is lost and craving the man that she loves and she doesn't know if she will get him back or lose him forever. Through their conclusion we see them face some challenges, challenges that could put Joey in a tailspin neither of them are ready for but will have to face and learn to rely on each other through them....

What I Loved
I really liked seeing the growth in their relationship. We get some fun moments in the book at times, but we really see the way in which Joey is falling under the abuse over the years. We see him wanting to protect Aoife and his siblings no matter the cost to himself. But in this book we really see him work so hard to try to get clean on his own. I really enjoyed the moments that we see within this couple, when they full trust and are honestly communicating were my favorite aspects of the story. I loved getting the glimpses into his reaction to Johnny and his crew that had me laughing all over the place because I had forgotten what a fan girl he was towards him. I really loved the third act of the story the most. But really the 2nd half of the story is what is really great about this because that is where Joey and Aoife really start fighting for each other instead of with each other. And that ending ....was PURE MAGIC!!! It made the struggle of reading these books really worth it.

What I Struggled With
First off the heroine was really hard for me to like if I am being honest. While I enjoyed her bubbly personality, and being so strong willed when it was needed at times, I really didn't like what a drama queen she was. She was flighty at times, selfish and totally clueless to big signs of things. And how she acted when she got pregnant and waiting almost a month to tell Joey was a big bad sign for me. I came so close to DNF this book especially with it being so so long (the original at over 1,000 pages) I was a fan of the angst in much of this book. I think I was hoping she would turn into a Shannon...but nope Shannon is LEAGUES better of a character than Aoife in my mind. I especially didn't like how she treated Joey after the attack. I wanted to strangle her so much in those chapters. And quite frankly this book is way TOO long. My issues though wasn't the difficult issues being addressed, but how Aoife especially treated the hero and not noticing things that were so painfully obvious. And while she did have decent character growth for me to eventually like her, she never does grow out of being self absorbed.

Narration
I listened to the first 30-35% in audio, and I really loved the narration for this series. They do so well especially on the Irish accents without it being too heavy.

Overall View
Redeeming 6 while having its flaws at times....delivered a heart warming story of growth, healing, love through the darkest parts of life and fighting for your own happy ever after!

Steam/Spice Explanations

Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.
