\"Raw<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted to like this book.\u00c2\u00a0 Lacresha is the founder of the Write it! Publish it! Market it! online group of which I am a member.\u00c2\u00a0 Her enthusiasm is infectious and she often comes up with new topics of conversation when the group starts to get quiet.<\/p>\n

The cover and title are intriguing.\u00c2\u00a0 Cheyenne has left her family and past behind in Maryland.\u00c2\u00a0 Her presence is requested when her uncle is on his deathbed.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s\u00c2\u00a0a wealthy womanizer and abuser who recently found religion.\u00c2\u00a0 Cheyenne’s double life in Los Angeles includes\u00c2\u00a0 a side gig as a paid escort.\u00c2\u00a0 James is\u00c2\u00a0a client she’s unwilling to admit she loves.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The story had promise but needed some additional editing to work for me.\u00c2\u00a0 Cheyenne has a lot of aunts and uncles – I couldn’t keep their names or how they were related straight in my mind.\u00c2\u00a0 The subplot about an unknown brother felt rushed.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I did like the character of James.\u00c2\u00a0 So often in novels with a romantic element, the lovers have misunderstandings or try to change each other.\u00c2\u00a0 James only wanted Cheyenne to know she was loved and was worth loving.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other reviews of Raw Redemption are available on Goodreads<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Lacresha is the author of several fiction and non-fiction books.\u00c2\u00a0 Her site is at http:\/\/lacreshatheauthor.weebly.com<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and she loves to hear from readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
