“This was the sweetest story! Both Zoey and John-Parker were hoping to make moves that redeemed the past. But little did they know that their future plans would be so dependent on each other! In "Redeeming the Past": John-Parker is returning back to his hometown to surprise his foster mother after 15 years away. But what he finds is Zoey living in her home, with her two kids, and he learns his foster mother had passed away! Their meeting was not pretty,and it only gets worse when both find out the house and inheritance is shared between them. The rules: they both have to work together and fix up the house for 3 months to unlock the inheritance. They also have to agree on what to do with the home... something they are not agreeing on! They are at odds, and they can't agree on much. But if one walks away from the arrangement, both miss out. So, they are going to have to stick it out! Both are weary of the other. He is worried that Zoey talked her way into the inheritance. And Zoey questions why John-Parker is mentioned at all, when he hadn't been around for 15 years! They both have a past they are trying to overcome and secrets to why they need to overcome it all. But with 3 months of working together, those walls are bound to come down. But what good would it be to open themselves to each other, when he is only here for the inheritance? He doesn't even live in town. And does she really want to open her kids up to another disappointing man in their life? This was so sweet! What you'll find: -enemies to lovers -secret pasts -forced proximity -foster care background -faith elements throughout! Rating: 4.5 rounded to 5 stars! I received a complimentary copy of this book. It didn't not influence this review in any way.”
