Description
A female leader from the Other world, Lusahn q'Arc can't forget the Paladin warrior she met in battle--his chiseled body and piercing, thoughtful eyes still haunt her dreams. When Lusahn learns that her missing brother Barak is alive and working with the enemy, she arranges to meet him--but it is not Barak who apears, but Cullen Finley, the Paladin who torments her memory. Intense attraction instantly burns between them despite their rival loyatlies, and they can't help surrendering to show more passion. Yet their time together is limited, for soon Cullen must return to his own world--with or without Lusahn. But when carefully laid plans go awry, they must fight for their forbidden love--and to keep one another alive. show lessTags

Redeemed in Darkness
2 Stars
Expected more from this installment as it takes place in the world of the Others. Unfortunately, there is virtually no character development and no progress in the overall story arc concerning the search for a cure to the Paladin’s descent into madness or the conspiracy of the blue stones.
The romance is as bland as the Kalithia landscape. Cullen and Lusahn fall in love almost immediately and all obstacles to their romance, such as the conflict between their races and the decision of which world to live in, are resolved far too easily.
In terms of the specific plot. there is no real mystery to solve and the villains are quickly revealed and just as quickly dispatched.
In one word: Boring!

After my experience with In Darkness Reborn, Redeemed in Darkness turned out to be a true page turner.
If I'm to analyze it critically, sure, the book had its own problems. I would have liked a bit more background on characters (the same problem with other books), or more information on the finally shown world of the Others (a.k.a. Kaliths). And maybe love and trust came too quickly than it should've considering the heroes were enemies from different worlds, but while reading the book I've got chills crawling up and down my spine. A physical reaction which tells me that despite everything, I enjoyed the story.
So I guess it were only minor problems. Not a deal breaker.
Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; and some to be chewed show more and digested. show less

An interesting premise, with the Paladins defending our universe from the Kalith invaders.
Although most of the story is told in the alternate plane, there are enough references to modern humanity to keep one from thinking the story is complete science fiction.
The sexual tension between Cullen and Lushan is believable, even if the sex scenes are a little rushed and glossed over. The relationship between Lusahn and the kids is virtually non-existent.
Still, it manages to be a well-rounded story, with the requisite betrayal and show of force.
