Secrets of Redemption was an amazing and emotional story. Both characters were very complex, and Miles especially so. His PTSD has a stranglehold on his life, and he isn't sure what to do about it. Guilt is eating him up from the inside and he isn't sure what he can do about it. Josie thinks she may have the solution, but has to face her own fears of opening up to him about her personal life.

LK Shaw really shows the intense dynamics in a BDSM relationship. It isn't just about the sex, it's about finding a connection, finding a way to let the world drift away and just be for awhile. Josie and Miles are a shining example (once they work out a few kinks) or how this relationship should feel and the respect between partners.

That being said, they aren't perfect people, Josie screws up, Miles reacts in an appropriate way (which is great - I hate when people blow things off or overreact). But Josie has a lot more on her plate than just trying to make things right with the man of her dreams. She's also made an error in judgment with a dangerous man, a man that is out to get her.

A great mix of romance, suspense, and great writing. This is a story of love, redemption, and finding a way to overcome the darkness of your past.
