This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the third book in the Redemption Security series. I have read the second book in this series before picking up this book. This book is full of suspense and action. I loved the connection the two main characters had, and I also enjoyed them fighting the connection. The storyline had me pulled into it, and I really enjoyed the ride this book took me on. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Title: Fighting for Adalyn by Katie Reus

Release Date: May, 28th, 2024

3.5 Stars

Adalyn faces the consequences of trusting the wrong person, leading to the deaths of innocent people. Despite achieving justice for her mistake, the past resurfaces as an enemy seeks revenge. Adalyn's sister becomes a target, and the enemy uses the chaos of Mardi Gras in New Orleans to carry out his plans.

Rowan, a former Marine who harbors resentment toward Adalyn, learns the truth about her actions and joins forces with her to stop the impending threat. Racing against time, they must unravel the enemy's identity and motives before he wreaks havoc on the city and puts their lives in danger.


Book 3 of this spinoff series is a rollicking good time, though it hits a speed bump in the middle. While it stands strong on its own, having read the previous books, especially book 2, enhances the enjoyment. Some of the tension feels a bit misplaced since the main characters have already resolved their conflict by the story's start.
However, Adalyn's competence and resilience shine brightly, and Rowan's admiration for her strengths adds depth to their dynamic. That said, readers might wish for a more fleshed-out storyline between the two protagonists. Nevertheless, the book offers an exhilarating and suspenseful ride, complete with unexpected twists and turns that will keep readers thoroughly entertained.


Thank you to The Publisher KR Press, LLC ,The Author Katie Reus & NetGalley for an advanced reader copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 stars

Book 3 in this spinoff series is fun, evergreen if it drags a little in the middle. While it can be read as a standalone, reading the previous novels, especially book 2, would be helpful. It's a little weird that a big part of the tension happens in that book instead of here. More specifically, even though this book's blurb mentions that Rowan hated Adalyn, by the time you start this book, that's water under the bridge, at least for Rowan. If you're reading the series closer together, it's fine, but it might seem like something is missing if you haven't read the previous book recently or at all.

So in the end, there's not a lot of tension between Rowan and Adalyn aside from her pushing him away by threatening to punch him (that got old). Otherwise, I like that Adalyn is supremely competent even at the most fraught of times, and it's great that Rowan finds her strength attractive. I guess I just wish there was more to their story?

I received an ARC of this book for free from the publisher and Netgalley. I'm writing this review voluntarily, and it reflects my honest opinion. Thanks!

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Adalyn receives a call from her sister that her sisters friend was shot. As Adalyn finds more information about the shooting she realizes someone is using her sister to get to her. Rowan comes in and goes in protective mode. He is not going to let Adalyn out of his sight this time.

Fast paced read with lots of action, suspense and romance.

What a wild ride! Lots of twists and turns. The book is loaded with suspense and action.Theres some subterfuge that leads to some surprises. The writing is wonderful. I enjoyed this book very much! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

LOVED this book! This is Adalyn and Rowan's story. The story opens with them having an explosive encounter that Rowan blames her for. When they are thrown together years later, there is a humming attraction between them, even as they are trying to save lives.

I loved the chemistry between them and felt totally invested in their story. This one is a must read for fans of the genre. While part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Fighting for Adalyn has us seeing Rowan & Adalyn fight the attraction and past pain. Amidst the danger swirling around Adalyn, we see love, banter & team that has each other's six. Rowan brings along laughter & sizzling heat as he brings down her wall while pinning to the wall. We enjoy the team & the smart quick action they bring to the story. Exciting & fun! Honest review!
