All Lauren Ford Burke wanted was a simple divorce and freedom from her ever cheating husband. Instead he ends up dead, murdered and she realizes she is finally free like she wanted and completely alone in the world. To add further to her turmoil is the detective working on the case; her ex who ran off breaking her heart three years ago.

Kane Hollister has promised himself to dedicate his life to putting away criminals. Getting involved in a permanent relationship is not on the cards. This is what made him go away three years ago without informing Lauren. Now he is back and while he still does not want to resume the relationship, the change in Lauren is breaking his heart. Then there is a possible serial killer setting his sight on Lauren as the next target.

Pushed together in an uneasy alliance, Lauren and Kane have a hard time ignoring their still sizzling chemistry. Lauren is determined not get her heart shattered again believing she is better off alone and Kane thinking he does not deserve to be happy. Still he does not like the new Lauren and would do anything to get her to be like the girl she was. Nothing would keep him away from her now that her life is in danger for she is one he always loved. But will they have their HEA or go their separate ways once the killer is caught?

HIS LAST REDEMPTION is an emotional roller coaster ride. Kane's hang-ups about not getting into a permanent relationship and staying away from his family were pretty confusing and dragged out and bit stupid in my opinion. Apart from that one major incident, nothing in his life shows that he was made to be an outsider in his own family. That was completely his thinking and stubbornness. I really felt sorry for his mom. Personally I would have smacked him to get some sense into him way before now. I think he enjoys being a martyr. Then there was his belief that Lauren changed thanks to her dead husband. Seriously? He left her without notice, justifying to himself that she should have known he does not do permanent after spending years taking care of her making her dependent on him. Yet he blames it all on her husband. On the other hand, when he finally got over the self-denial, he is sweet caring man who would do anything to protect his loved ones.

Loved Lauren and how she managed to keep herself together after the emotional turmoil she faced in her life and still be a success. She is one strong-willed lady who is not afraid to admit to her insecurities and mistakes. I would have preferred if she had not given in to Kane quickly but I was rooting for her all the way. Ms. Yip captured the emotions and the turmoil perfectly in HIS LAST REDEMPTION. I had tears in my eyes and a tissue in my hand throughout. Through their stubbornness and beliefs you can see just how human they are. HIS LAST REDEMPTION is not a perfect fairy tale romance but one with high running emotions with moments of high and low. A not to be missed read if you like second chances at HEA but not if you want suspense. I figured the mystery out half-way through and I was right about it.
