Redeeming the Past is a story about two people, thrown together in an unlikely situation.

Bodyguard John-Parker Wisdom and widow Zoey Chavez have inherited Aunt Mamie's house. Zoey was Mamie's caregiver during her last days. John-Parker was one of Mamie's foster kids growing up in the house. When they learn they have inherited the house, she wants to sell but John-Parker wants to turn it into a foster home for unwanted boys. There in lies the battle. They have three months to fix up the house, and make a decision of the fate of the house. A romance blooms, although neither John-Parker nor Zoey want it to develop. Zoey just wants a home for her children.

A sweet and interesting story. Linda Goodnight has a way of writing believable stories that touch the heart. A clean well written story.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

John-Parker and Zoey are co-heirs to his foster mother’s home. Two different people with two different ideas with how to take care of the house.

This is a nice story. I’m not big on mushy romance stories and what I really liked about this story is that it felt real and not make believe. Not mushy. Not unbelievable. Just real and a good story to back it up.
