Sometimes the past bleeds into the future.

Bess, a wild party girl running from herself, literally falls victim to her demons when she collapses in the most unexpected of places.
Lane, a tightly wound, up-and-coming CEO who can’t seem to stop enabling his brother, doesn’t know what hit him when Bess falls at his feet and into his life.

It was a night she doesn’t remember, and one he can’t forget.

But rather than stay and help the needy college coed, Lane decides to teach his brother a long overdue lesson––a decision that later comes back to haunt him and only adds fury to the transgressions of his past he is already fleeing from.
Years later, Bess and Lane meet again. She doesn’t know him, and he doesn’t share that he knows what happened on that ill-fated night when she almost died. After all, he has a web of complicated lies from his own youth to protect.

Both are seeking salvation in the arms of others and ignoring the truth—that the only road to redemption lies in confronting your past.

When the past and present collide, is there any chance at redemption?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of Redemption Lane by Rachel Blaufeld and I really enjoyed it. An emotional read that deals with a very real issue, Blaufeld does an amazing job of bringing life to these characters and making you love each of them, despite their flaws." ~ Erin Noelle, USA Today Bestselling Author
"Redemption Lane is a complex story with even more complex characters, but then, that's what I love about Rachel Blaufeld's work. She makes you think and feel and as you read their stories, you can't help but fall in love with these imperfect characters as they try to overcome their struggles." ~ Bookaholics-Not-So-Anonymous
"A perfect combination of romance with just the right amount of turmoil." ~ Kel, The Literary Nook
"The love scenes are smoking. The tender scenes are tear worthy. You'll feel anger, betrayal, fear, happiness, and everything in between." ~ Crystal, Random Musesomy
"I do however still love drama and angst when it is well written...Rachel Blaufeld hit that balance perfectly with Redemption Lane." ~ Claire, Goodreads FIVE ★★★★★'s

5 Emotionally Charged Stars!

Wow, I am completely blown away with the emotional intensity of this book! I have to be honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Bess and I had held out for quite some time on reading this due to my preconceived feelings. Well let me tell you......wow, I was completely blown off filter with her character. Talk about making a premature and might I add, "idiotic" decision on my part, lol. Bess's character blew me away, she was unlike any character that I have read about and I loved every single flawed and beautiful part of her:) I can't even begin to describe my feelings about her but let me try... She was tragically flawed, she was beautiful but yet oh so broke, she was strong but yet felt the weight of the world on her shoulders, she was just, ahhhhh, I connected with her completely and understood her every thought, her every emotion, she was perfectly imperfect. She was a character we don't get to read about, she was far from privileged, she was very far from perfect, she didn't have the model career with the model friends and the perfect arm candy. bess was a TRUE woman, she worked hard at everything and it was not easy on her but damn, this girl, she was just so.....REAL in every sense. She was a girl, that most all of us know in real life, whether it be a friend, a relative, a co-worker, you name it she was just the most relatable person and for that I applaud the author!

This story wasn't just a typical romance novel, oh no, it was SO MUCH more than that! It was about self discovery, it was about addictions, addictive behavior, it was downright heartbreaking, so much so, that my heart literally felt so "heavy" at times during this read and not just for Bess but for Lane as well. Lane, oh Lane, hmmm where to begin with him. He was such a complex character, he was just a shell of man living on "auto" pilot for most of his life until he stumbled once again upon Bess but don't let that fool you into insta-love, and happily ever after right away, oh no, it was a long and tough journey that took me on the most beautiful yet most heartbreaking roller coaster ride and I was totally and fully invested in these two. Lane, let me tell you that I could have smacked him with my Kindle a few times and I mean it! He made the MOST infuriating decisions and the hurt I felt for Bess, I can't even begin to describe. I cried a few times and my heart was so heavy that it hurt but in the end, it was SO worth it. My dear Rachel Blaufeld, as usual, mended my very broken heart with such tenderness, such care that it was as if it never broke in the first place:)

Oh my....... I started this yesterday and finished last night before bed and yes, huge mistake, lolololol, I didn't get much sleep, of course, this story just played through my mind all night long! This story had so many dimensions to it, it was such a fulfilling journey, albeit tough at times, it just had so many levels of complexity and yet it all fit together perfectly!!!!

Author Rachel Blaufeld, you delivered another brilliantly written novel, one that played on every emotion possible and I thank you. Congrats and I cannot wait to delve straight into Jake's story because I just need to know, my heart needs to know that he will be ok too:)

Really excellent, heartfelt book.

4.5*

This is an excellent story about redemption, about forgiving yourself, about letting the past stay in the past.

Bess and Lane are both carrying heavy burdens that have made it very difficult for either of them to let any one get close. But from the moment they meet there's a connection between them that can't be denied. For Lane, the connection is easily explained- he has been thinking about Bess every day for the past 4 years, every since the day she quite literally fell into his lap. For Bess it's not that easy, but she knows there's something about him that draws her in.

I really felt for both of these characters- they had a lot of personal demons they both needed to work through. And seeing how they handled them, watching as they grew together and separately, really pulled at my heart.

This is a heartwrenching, emotional read, that will really draw you in right from the beginning. The characters are real and captivating, the story is engaging. Redemption Lane is not a sweet, flowery, read...it will make you think, and it will make you feel.

Redemption Lane is my first book by Rachel Blaufeld, I grabbed it after I was lucky enough to receive an arc of Absolution Road...I wanted to know the first part of the story before jumping into AR. Although you could possibly read these as standalones I really feel for the best experience you read this first, before going on to Jake's story.

Lane & Bess

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS - Couldn't quite connect with the main characters unfortunately. I definitely want to read more about Lane's twin Jake because he seems like a total hot mess - just my kind of guy! Lane is in the wrong place at the wrong time when Bess collapses right on him. Bess is a drug addict, an alcoholic, a lonely girl who pulled herself up & now lives the life of solitude with her dog in order to hang on to her new clean routine. Rich gorgeous businessman Lane runs into her again at a hotel & he immediately recognizes her, and I think his sadness to drawn to hers. They have a lot of back & forth, push & pull, while she continues to deal with her demons, not realizing Lane has a mess of nightmares he hasn't brought to light yet. I really did like Bess but Lane wore on my nerves. He has a temper, he is very sexually active & I didn't know if the playboy could stay faithful to Bess, and he pushed her away even when he wasn't honest but knowing her identity from the very beginning. But in the bedroom they lit each other on fire! This book describes perfectly how some people use sex to avoid talking about their issues, to just dive into what feels good & use that just like an addict would use a needle.

I tend to agree partly, thinking about all those extremely favourable reviews. Boring no,,frustrating yes. I liked Bess & her path towards healing. Lane was very wishy washy, hot & cold. Yes he had demons but he was a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde.
They raved about this book so when the price dropped I grabbed it. It wasn't bad not great but good enough for a decent rating.

I really enjoyed this story but then I've loved everything by this author. I really liked both the main characters, each with their own issues. This one was a page turner for me. Looking forward to part two!

Boring

Reviewed in Australia on March 5, 2015

I've read 87% and I just don't want to finish this book.
I'm so bored with it.
The reviews on here made it seem like it was going to be some really engaging, different story that has you interested from day one.
It's been boring for me from the start.
Just another insta-love story with nothing out of the ordinary going for it. Very predictable.
I didn't connect with the characters or their relationship.
Hard to do so when they have very few meaningful conversations with each other in the beginning, but they're already in love with each other? It's just hard to believe. Boring.

Or maybe it's just me?

Either way I am so bored of it, 87% and I just can't bring myself to read anymore.
