Waiting for Redemption by Sarah Pirtle

5.0

As a Military spouse I want to start this review by complimenting Sarah and her ability to show how Military members hide their PTSD/Trauma under different personas such as the jokester, the grumpy/broody one and the one who wears it all on his sleeve.

Now on to the book review. I have been waiting for Tank and Ruby since finishing Waiting for Healing and this book like the others did not disappoint.

Tanks story had me pulled in from the start. I loved how this story went back prior to what we saw in Waiting for Healing. I truly loved getting to understand Tanks background and what happened with him. We see where Tank gets his job working for Max and getting to know Ruby. I loved seeing Tank and Ruby have a genuine friendship turn into a relationship and the struggles that Tank faces when he has an episode of PTSD and the decision he has to make to better himself to deserve Ruby and her son. This book broke my heart at the beginning reading what we read in Waiting for Healing but instead of seeing it through Tucker we see it and feel it through Tank and everything that had led to that moment. I had to have a whole box of tissues next to me and take a moment to process the moment/emotions that were happening.

Ruby is an amazing FMC. She is strong and is doing everything she can for her son and her. Ruby has a traumatic past as well so she is able to see Tank and who he really is and help him through her friendship. I loved Ruby and Hendrix so much. The way she eases Tank into her and Hendrix life because it's not just her she has to think of but her son as well.

Tank and Ruby's relationship was genuine and beautiful. While this may be a marriage of convenience book it was started with genuine feelings for each other and friendship. Tank is THE book boyfriend/husband. The way Ruby and Tank fir perfectly together is so beautiful and they truly bring out the best in each other and heal each other in ways only they would be able to do.

I loved this book and everything it stood for. I want to thank Sarah Pirtle for the opportunity to ARC read this book. Tank, Ruby and Hendrix now have a spot in my heart.
