Jennifer Ryan is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Hunted series and the McBride series. She writes romantic suspense and contemporary small-town romances featuring strong men and equally resilient women. Her stories are filled with love, friendship, and the happily-ever-after we all hope to find. Jennifer lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, three children, dog (Bella), and cat (Shadow). When she isn't writing a book, she's reading one. Her obsession with both is often revealed in the state of her home and in how late dinner is to the table. When she finally leaves those fictional worlds, you'll find her in the garden, playing in the dirt and daydreaming about people who live only in her head, until she puts them on paper.
This was such a fantastic story! A real page turner, this book caused me a hangover and left me hoping there will be another book because I just wasn’t ready to let go of Dylan and Jessie (and Will, too!) Dylan’s Redemption is book 3 in the McBrides series, but it works perfectly as a standalone. I haven’t read the other two books (yet!) but there were no gaps or missing connections, so if you haven’t read book 1 or 2, don’t let this stop you from reading Dylan and Jessie’s story. This book has the perfect amount of chemistry, angst, tension, love and steam mixed all together to create the ideal romance novel that will keep you glued to the pages and will make you forget you should stop reading to eat, drink, sleep and whatever other activity you’re supposed to be doing. Take my advice: make sure you have a whole day for yourself, because once you start reading it, you won’t be able to put it down! First of all I loved Jessie. Hers is the first POV in the story so it was easy to connect with her before I fell for Dylan. What I didn’t expect was to keep loving Jessie and rooting for her all through the book, because, let’s face it, once we fall for the hero, the heroine usually becomes a sort of nemesis – or is it only me? Jessie is a fantastic heroine – strong and resilient. Not only she’s still standing on her own two feet after the tough hand life dealt her, but she has managed to build a successful career and a brand new life for herself. I couldn’t help but admire her courage and determination. By chapter two she had my full respect and I was in awe. Then Dylan enters the story and, well, ladies, get ready to swoon!Read more ›

I was really looking forward to reading Dylan's Redemption in the same way I look forward to watching a good Lifetime Movie. I was expecting a guilty pleasure read and this could definitely qualify. Unfortunately, I just didn't enjoy the book and admit to skimming some.
My main problem with this book is the writing. This is the third book I've read by the author and I noticed the same problem in both the first book I read and this one. After the first book, I knew I wouldn't read anything else from Jennifer Ryan. Then I accidently purchased a second book, not realizing it was the same author (it was a different series than the first book I had read). I read that book and actually enjoyed it and was looking forward to reading Dylan's Redemption. Unfortunately, the issue that drove me crazy in the first book I read by her was more than evident in this book. The way she writes the dialogue - it's just not believable. Instead of having a back and forth conversation, too many times the dialogue is written with long paragrahs and goes on and on and on. It's painful to read and it just drives me crazy. Besides the dialogue issue, the story was so sappy in the second half, it was just way too much. I'm still giving this book three stars but overall, I just didn't enjoy it and won't be reading more from this author

The McBride series might be my favorite of Jennifer Ryan's and that's saying a lot because I adored The Hunted Series. Brody and Owen, you both worked for me but oh Dylan, who can resist a second chance at love? Or a sexy but strong sheriff? Not me! Jessie might be my favorite Ryan heroine today. She has hidden vulnerability, and suffered terrible, tragic loss, but has so much character and heart. Loved it.

Originally Reviewed For: Bodice Rippers, Femme Fatales and Fantasy
Dylan's Redemption has to be one of the best second chance romances I have ever read! Powerful, poignant, redeeming, it touches on so many emotions that I was in tears too many times. Jennifer Ryan does a fabulous job sharing the lives of Jessie and Dylan, Book Three of her McBride Series.
Jessie Thompson had one thing going for her during her childhood, Dylan McBride. Living with an abusive, alcoholic father was hard. Seriously hard. She was working on construction sites from a young age and attending school and when she got home, she got knocked around. And no one did anything. But life was starting to look up when Dylan took her to prom... or did they? He took her to the prom, made love to her in the back seat of his car and then left.. Jessie was alone again. Only this time her father almost killed her, alone and you guessed it pregnant, Jessie took her bruised and battered body and ran away. Discovering a wonderful father and son that became her true family.. Eight years later she is frozen in time. Her beautiful baby died after only five days.. but somehow Jessie survived. While emotionally stinted she did manage to graduate both High School and College and start not one but two businesses. Now a successful woman she still has to face her past. Her father is dead, her brother is killing himself with guilt and alcohol and Dylan is back in town.
Dylan McBride had to get out of town. Fast!! His parents wanted a life for him that stifled him. He had plans to join the army, it was all set, he just needed to graduate. First though there was prom and one night that changed his world. Afraid of telling Jessie he had to leave, he just left. Only to find out that she had died and for years he grieved.Read more ›
