Kathy Coopmans - The Absolution of Aidan


The Absolution of Aidan is Book three of The Best Selling Syndicate Series by Kathy Coopmans is Now Available!




Blurb
Aidan Hughes 
I was cruel to Deidre La Russo. Said things I should never say to a woman. 
Seen things happen to her. 
Things darker than the bottle of liquor I consume. 
I felt helpless. 
Defeated. 
The memories are more tortuous than the act of her torture. 
Then she walks back into my life, only she’s not alone. 

Deidre La Russo 
I have my reasons for leaving. 
I lived through hell. 
I was beaten, tortured. Drugged. 
I have secrets. 
I have to tell them. 
Danger brought us all together. 
Danger may rip us apart. 




Excerpt

 Aidan Hughes. I can focus on him. No, not him. Images of his bruised and battered face invade my mind, mixing with those voices.
  Aidan can never see me like this. He’s lodged in my head too. I should hate him after the things he said to me, the way he treated me after we gave in to the carnal desire we felt for each other. I know I treated the man poorly, but he just kept getting under my skin. His deep voice. His bright blue eyes. His muscular body. His six-foot-something frame. I hate him.
 Oh, I heard him, all right, demanding for me to hang on while I felt like I was going to die every time Royal pierced me with his knife. He even called me baby a few times. He’s a callous asshole. A user. A fucking tool of a man, and I don’t want to see him. I’ve gone insane. I don’t want or need anybody. They can let me die. Yes. The only way to get rid of any and all of these voices in my head is to die.
“Deidre.” An older woman comes into my room, followed by my dad. The look of concern on their faces stops me in the tracks of plotting ways to kill myself.
“I’m Doctor Jenkins. Your father here has told me you want to leave. I cannot discharge you. This is the best place for you to be. You have to heal. Now, are you in any pain, sweetheart? Would you like the nurse to give you—”
“Noooooooooooooo! Quit saying I have to heal! You don’t know what I need or have to do! None of you do!” I scream. Her body jolts back.
 I’ve fucking had it with these people not listening to me. I start to thrash in the small bed. Kick the covers off. My body is so weak I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. All I know is if they won’t help me, then I will help myself. I will get out of here. I will. Then I will die. The howling laughter, the slimy deep tones, their faces, they will all be gone.




 MY REVIEW:

This was the 3rd book in the series and it was mainly focused on Aiden's family.  What that meant for him. How it changed and all the baggage in between.  When it came to those he loved, he would do anything to protect them.  The world in which he lives in can be dangerous at times and he learned he had to ask for help when the time came.  Otherwise, news seemed to roll off his back and he took it with ease, even if it was hard to swallow.  

Deidre has had to fight her way back from the pits of hell.  She is a strong woman, and has a reason to be.  She realized where she ended up and had to fight each day to be the strong woman she is.  She had a family that loves her and had to cope with the trauma that happened to her, but despite that, she was making her way back in the world.

Deidre's love for Aiden never went away and it seemed to grow stronger.  The two of them had a connection that wouldn't be broken.  Their journey was heartbreaking at times, sweet, sexy and an enjoyable read.  While this book didn't quite capture me like the others did, I did like and it and I wanted to find out exactly how it ended.  We had an intense situation that made it hard to put down and I enjoyed the way it came to a conclusion.  And I sure hope we get Dilan's story!!
