Redeemed (Dirty Air Series Book 4)

I was in a real bad mood before reading this book and reading it was like therapy for me. The amount of domestic and family moments in this were so soft and wholesome! Noah played a really nice role in it and I think I loved him more in this book rather than his own. The book had me enamored and I couldn't put it down though it was lengthy. I would never get tired of the grumpy-sunshine trope and I hope Lauren keeps writing it because she is one of the very few authors who I trust to give justice to this trope.Santiago & Chloe's connection is intense from the moment they meet. They go from complete strangers to helping each other find their new paths and discover their feelings. They were both lost for so long but finally they completed each other."I wish to find someone who appreciates my presence instead of destroying it."Santiago Alatorre suffered a fatal crash three years ago in which he lost a part of his leg which unfortunately made it impossible for him to continue racing professionally. Now he's healing in his new house in Italy, hiding away from the hounding paparazzi trying to cover his downfall and anything that reminds him of his old life. What he doesn't expect is a beautiful mysterious woman sneaking up in his backyard when his family is visiting and somehow ending up pretending to be his fake girlfriend by suddenly crashing into his life.“Magic is everywhere and in everything. People only have to believe in it for it to work. If you notice it, then embrace it because that’s what makes us dreamers.”Chloe Carter dies not have everything easy in life. Her mother is a neglectful drug addict who cares about nothing other than constantly asking money from her daughter. Fed up of her mother's constant manipulative behaviour, Chole along with her bestfriend decides to take an ancestory test in which she discovers that her biological father is alive and lives somewhere in Italy. Her search for her father lands her up on Santiago's address. Then one lie leads to another and Chole is stuck with Santiago babysitting his nephew for the week, all while having no idea about who he is and why he is so grumpy.“Because those who see beauty in chaos also see flowers instead of weeds, and that’s a gift in a world like ours.”Chole was a literal ray of sunshine. She was mischievous, determined, strong, supportive, sassy, funny and talented. She just wanted to be loved and accepted. I adored this woman. There was no wrong she could do in my eyes. Her no lies policy and the tendency to take absolutely no sht from Santiago was what I liked the most about her. She called him out when he did something wrong and gave him hope to be better. Santiago was such a dreamy grump. He could cook, race, fix cars, play guitar, was good with kids and such a good guy in general. Sure, he was grumpy, rude, closed off and lost but man, he was total husband material. The way he cared about Chloe and wanted to be the man she deserved was so heartwarming. After he started to get to know Chloe, his character development topped the charts and he was unafraid of expressing his feelings to her!"She describes her loneliness as a weakness, but I only see it as a strength. While people like me shrivel away in the shadows, people like her create their own light. She’s like the moon who shines bright despite the never-ending darkness."Overall, the book was written very well. The character development was immaculate. Santiago & Chloe's journey to happiness was delightful and I devoured this book. The series started getting better and better by each book. The extended epilogue was so freaking good. I sense a next gen coming soon! PS. Lauren if you see this review, please make it happen ;-p

One word to describe the novel is inspiring.Santi rises like a Phoenix bird with the little wildflower by his side and it has my heart doing summersaults.

I liked Santiago from Book 1. His green flag personality was very ❤️. Redeemed showed a very different Santiago but the story made him all the more attractive. For me, Marko stole the spotlight more than once. Can we get a spin-off in the future for the Marko-Stella story that the author keeps hinting at!

(Mostly No Spoilers)I loved Santiago right from the start so when I came to know that his book was being released I literally jumped for joy. Let me clarify as well, this book did not disappoint. The way in which the author has written this book is perfect according to me and thoroughly engaging. In fact, as soon as I started reading Redeemed, I couldn't put it down! I enjoyed the book right from the start. I also loved Santi and Chloe's meet-cute. As a matter of fact, I would have never thought of a fence being a major factor in anyone's meet-cute (it was hilarious though). I also loved the cameos by Noah and Maya (they're married and have a son by now). Their son also happens to be extremely adorable and I love that kid to pieces! I especially appreciate the way in which the author has actually included a person having a physical disability and made them the main character instead of a keeping them on the sidelines. The way in which Santi's thought process is written is wonderful. All in all this is an amazing book and I recommend everyone who sees this comment to read Redeemed!!

I loved this one absolutely the best out of the 4!! ❤❤Santi was just meant to be a side character in the first book with Noah but seriously right from then I loved his personality. We saw his growth and presence throughout the other 3 books and he grew on me. The beginning of the book was too sad for me but it was amazing how he and Chloe work on making things work. There is some fake dating kind of a trope here and while I absolutely love that, there was so much more here. They both were just soo good for each other.I definitely see myself reading this one again someday soon.Give the Playlist the author has for this book a try as well !! Just love it when authors have Playlists for their books. 😁Absolutely cannot wait to read more from Lauren Asher!!

Story, character, everything is so perfect i can't control myself to read another series of Lauren asher tht is dreamland billionaire series

I loved how none of the characters tried too hard to initiate and create the world they finally ended up in. What entices me is the extended epilogue of Christmas! Can't wait for Marko and Stella's book.

This is the best out of the four books in the Dirty Air Series!Lauren Asher, you beautiful woman <3

muito bom, tão incrível ou mais que o livro do Jax.ainda me assusta que essa mesma autora tenha escrito aquela atrocidade do livro do Noah (ou especificamente o Noah, que mesmo sendo muito amigo e encorajador do Santiago nesse livro, ainda não me desce de jeito nenhum).enfim, esse livro e o epilogo extendido fecha com chave de ouro essa série!eu amei esse casal, toda a história e amaria muito ler um livro do Marko e da Stella (torcendo para que ele puxe o tio ou o sogro e não o pai).

¡Ay Santiago! ¡Mi amor!😭This was my favorite book of the series HANDS DOWN.Chloe was so uplifting and positive even though she was dealt bad cards her entire life!I knew I’d love Santi’s book once I got to it but HOLY. He was perfection in every sense 😭I am so happy Lauren Asher was able to capture his struggles so beautifully from his initial injury, to his depression, to his acceptance of himself, and even when he rose above it all and came out winning.I knew I was going to read a sad book and boy was it sad but it was so much more than that! It was inspiring and magical 🥹Their banter was immediately so good and I appreciated how Chloe didn’t want to be sexual with him until he was able to fully accept himself “flaws” and all because she knew his was worth fighting for even when he didn’t think so 😭😭I had hoped that Chloe would have been able to meet her dad but I am happy that the story was realistic in the sense that her mother was a drug addict so it made sense for her father to have met her that way even though it resulted in his death.Santiago tiene mi corazón por todo mi vida 😭😭❤️

I really loved every second of it !!! Great storyline and great series. I would love to see those on tv

These books only improved through the series in my opinion. I’m so excited to move onto the dreamland billionaire series because I am HOOKED on Lauren Asher

Nicht mal bei der Hälfte des Buches angekommen und schon kamen mir die Tränen. Lauren ashers schreibstil ist atemberaubend und wärmt mein Herzjedes Mal aufs Neue.
