She saw in him what no one else could see.
He found in her what he could never find.
One moment changed everything but, even with a break in time, their connection could never be severed.
In the beginning he may have been her salvation, but in the end she will be his redemption.

This is Book One in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It’s told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series.
Warning: Due to mature subject matter, such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.

Review
Redeem. Atone. Amend. Reconcile.
Men of honor understand these concepts and do their best to ensure they live honorable lives, seeking justice and protecting those who need it. There are times, though, when honorable men are forced to take paths that make them question what kind of men they are and feel shame and self hatred. But that’s when they need a guiding force to show them the road back to redemption because it’s worth the pain and heartache when absolution occurs.
Logan Knight is definitely an honorable man; he’s one of the only people who can help Anna chase away her demons and no longer feel terror and shame by a man’s touch. But Logan has his own demons, namely his issues with his family’s standards of living and a mother who can’t take care of herself or her children. Logan steps up in big ways for those he loves, but in doing so, he’s forced to give up what’s become his EVERYTHING. But the whole idea behind redemption is fighting against the darkness and reclaiming a life that was always meant to be yours, and that’s exactly Logan’s mission through much of the text.
With the love and protection of men who would die for her, Anna has stepped away from the fear and shame of what happened to her 3 years ago, moving forward with the man she loves and relishing their connection. But when events occur that redefine her entire life, Anna finds the courage and the determination to help the man who owns her heart to find his way back to her and himself.
This is the first book I’ve read by K.C. Lynn, and I FLOVED it. A book like An Act of Redemption definitely needs both the hero and heroine’s perspective and that’s what readers get in Anna and Logan’s story, and it is spot on because it provides all of the insight they need to understand everything that’s occurring and the feelings that go along with all of the events.
K.C. does a fantastic job of expressing the depth of not only Anna’s bond with Logan but also the deep connection she has with Jaxson and the other men who saved her from the hell she had to endure. They are all her family, and they would willingly sacrifice themselves before anything happened to Anna again and that shines through in K.C.’s perfectly crafted scenes.
What I also love about An Act of Redemption is that the title is significant for more than just Logan and Anna. The idea of making up for past misdeeds is a lesson that everyone should learn. Whether it’s judging people by what they look like instead of who they are or hurting people deeply with words and actions, making amends should be the goal, and it’s one step in the process of conquering the world!

Emily Michaels ~ Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? Like you never fit in, or you weren’t good enough? This is how I have felt for as long as I can remember. I see the world differently than everyone else, I feel everything differently and I reflect on life differently. And being different in my world is not a good thing. I live in a place that’s divided between the rich and the poor, the beautiful and the unbeautiful, the prestigious and the mediocre. I have always belonged in the first category, because my father was the Governor of Georgia.
Growing up around people I could never relate with, my life had always been lonely, that was until my senior year when I met the one boy who would change my life forever. A boy who my parents would never approve of because he didn’t come from money or the same social class. He rode a motorcycle, had tattoos and was considered to be from the wrong side of the tracks. Yet he was still envied by many.
Ryder Jameson was someone who every guy feared, and one who every girl wanted to be touched by. He didn’t do attachments, or have friends… until me. And for the first time in my life I finally felt like I belonged. When I was with him, my different didn’t feel wrong or ugly. He made me feel beautiful- insightfully beautiful. Then one day my world came crashing down on me, and it would be six years before I’d once again see the boy I fell in love with.
Ryder Jameson ~ After working my ass off I am given the opportunity of a lifetime, and if I pull it off I will be the youngest FBI agent to run one of the biggest undercover operations in history. Only the case that gets thrown in front of me leads me back to the one place I swore I would never return to, and to the only girl who’s ever mattered to me.
Except Emily Michaels is not the same girl I left behind. She still looks the same, she’s still beautiful inside and out, but there’s one thing that’s very different about her, one very big thing, and it’s something I didn’t think was possible.
Ryder and I come from a world where politics separates us and wealth defines us, but even after all this time we will not let it divide us. Here is our story.
This is a standalone novel with an HEA and is told in dual POV. Due to mature subject mature, such a explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.
K.C. Lynn is a small town girl living in Western Canada. She married her high school sweetheart and they have four amazing children: two lovely girls and a set of handsome twin boys. It was her love for romance books that gave K.C. the courage to sit down and write her own novel. When she is not in her writing cave, pounding out new characters and stories, she can be found living between the pages of a book, meeting new tattooed, hot alpha males with very big…Hearts.Posted by Rebecca
