OUR REVIEW:

I had no idea this book was coming so what a sinful treat to be able to revisit the Hales, especially the Hale I found so despicable in the initial series: Macalister. I didn't know what to expect but I love a good redemption story and so I jumped right in. Surprising to absolutely no one, Nikki Sloane grabbed my attention and I was immediately hooked into this story of Macalister and a surprising ally: Sophia Alby. This unlikely duo were completely addicting to read--I could not tear myself from the pages (and luckily for me, this pandemic has me with lots of time to fill).

Sophia's seeming confidence and Macalister's arrogance just sparked on the page. The more time they spent together, the more she softened him which meant the more I cheered on their romance. I had my doubts that Macalister could be redeemed so to see him go from a menace to a likeable control freak was a nice surprise. I mean really...who'd think that this guy could grow so much that you'd actually be hoping that he'd come out on top?!!! Anyway, his redemption story arc was well executed and I loved that Sophia was really the maestro in charge of it. Sophia was also a nice surprise. In previous novels, she seemed way more shallow and devious. This novel really fleshed her out and made her someone you wanted to know more and to see only good things for her. Additionally,  I super enjoyed that they both tried to resist what was going on (sort of) but that Nikki Sloane made it impossible for them to not give in to the chemistry--together they were HOT.

I went from surprise that this novel even existed to complete absorption to now where I'm hoping that Nikki Sloane's writing with a swiftness so that the next Hale arrives soon to my kindle.

SYNOPSIS:

Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, it’s whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Boston’s elite.
Scandal nearly destroyed me, but the one thing larger than my infamy is my bank account, and I’ve learned money can solve anything.
Well—almost anything.
Sophia Alby’s preferred currency is secrets and the way she trades information puts Wall Street to shame.
This girl charges into my life and claims a partnership can restore my reputation. My downfall was swift, but with her, my climb to redemption will be greater.
Our arrangement is professional. Appropriate. It has to be, because she’s half my age. But it doesn’t stop me from wanting . . .
To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans.
But I can’t. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I won’t survive it a second time.
To the rest of the world I’m the villain, but to her? I’ll be the hero.
The Redemption is book four in the Filthy Rich Americans Saga and is Macalister Hale's story.
