FOR WRATH AND REDEMPTION by Brit Benson is AVAILABLE NOW!
Blurb:
This temptation is my punishment.
His redemption is my penance.
Jonah Hendrix is the bad boy of the music industry.
As lead guitarist of The Hometown Heartless,
negative press follows him like a scorned lover,
And even his fans fuel the flames of his torched reputation.
Despite his permanent residence in the media,
He’s never been on my radar.
Not until my boss comes to me with a proposition:
Join The Hometown Heartless on tour to redeem Jonah in the public eye,
and finally get the promotion I’ve been working toward.
I’m not a PR specialist, and it’s not my career ambition,
but I’m determined to see this job through.
As long as I treat the surly rock star like a brand,
I’ll succeed in rehabbing his reputation and survive the tour with my sanity intact.
The problem?
Jonah and I have more in common than either of us realized.
And that desire for connection?
It’s proving to be irresistible.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
So, having read the Next Life books, I *really* didn’t know how Brit Benson was going to make me like Claire. Because the girl had done some pretty horrendous things, and I kinda fell in love with Macon and Lennon and despised Claire for the role she played in keeping those two apart.
But then…. But then…. along comes For Wrath and Redemption…. and BB absolutely SLAYS with this story. I was really looking forward to reading Jonah’s book after getting to know him in the other Hometown Heartless books, and wasn’t so sure how I would like him with Claire. But my gosh, these two broken souls get each other on a level that no one else ever has.
This story had me tangled up in knots because these two characters are just damaged. The road they travel is messy, chaotic, and heartbreaking as they both cut themselves open and bleed out for one another. Watching them go from enemies to being each other’s everything was truly a journey. They each are dealing with addiction, and feelings of abandonment, of being cast-aside and unwanted (especially Jonah!). It’s a long and twisted road, and they have to fight to get there, but they eventually find a beautiful, safe space in each other.
Narrators Jason Clarke and Mollie Stark were PHENOMENAL in telling this gutwrenching tale. The level of emotion they each brought to their characters was off the chart. The anguish, the pain, the anger, the tears, the joy… I felt it all as they brought this story to life.
And the bonus chapter was everything I could have asked for as Claire began to repair her relationship with her family.
For Wrath and Redemption far exceeded my expectations for Jonah and Claire! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Brit Benson:
Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.
Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.
