Redemption: A Defiance Novel (The Defiance Series)

One small naggy thing: Mathias gives Jessa a tattoo. I could swear when he gave it to her it was on her back, but later it is on her hip. Dec 08, Jennifer Guffey rated it it was amazing Shelves: Redemption Defiance MC 2 By: Mathias, a believer of signs, had dreamt of one the night before first seeing this young woman.

Jessa grew up the daughter of a prominent politician who not only had his whole life mapped up, but who had mapped out her life as well. After being kidnapped and held by the Lords of Vengeance MC, being betrayed by her man and almost being sold to the mafia, she is caught up in a whirlwind of avenging angels in leather and tattoos. When Jessa is rescued, she is scared out of her mind. Such is the conundrum. As Jessa and Mathias get closer and start to fall for each other, they also push each other away, several times, mainly out of fear.

This does get somewhat annoying and you just want to reach through the pages and give them a good shake. Since Bishop has had to translate for Mathias and Jessa, she also became close with Bish who was the voice of reason to and for both Jessa and Mathias and helped to explain things to both of them.

Bish was a truly awesome friend. But the one thing they have always done was throw their allegiance, loyalty, respect and bodies behind Caspar and his initiatives. They have proven themselves time and again. But there are debts to be paid to not only make up for lost revenue, but also for the good and protection of Defiance. The ending is somewhat heart-wrenching and not only sets-up the next novel, but leaves you wanting more!

Dec 29, Vampress Bathory rated it it was amazing. I really looovee this series!!!!!!!!! There are rare times when i actually love the second book in a series as much as i love the first one!

1. Boundary Waters Canoe Camping, 2nd (Regional Paddling Series): Canoe Camping with Style.
2. See a Problem?.
3. Get A Copy!
4. Defiance Series by Stephanie Tyler.

It means that i love Redemption as much as i love Defiance! Reedemption is a special book because the hero, Mathias, can't talk but in the same time he is comunicating much more than Caspar did in his book! Even if Mathias can't talk that doesn't mean he is disabled or not as much an alpha and badass as the others! He is a hot, uber s Oh. He is a hot, uber sexy, uber dangerous alpha male!!! His 'can't talk' problem makes him even more dangerous and even more lethal! The words 'spoiled princess' were constantly floating in my mind in the first quarter of the book.

I like her even more because she understands the bond Mathias and Bishop share! He is Mathias' voice and he knows his brother more than he knows himself. He would do anything for Mathias and i respect him for that! At first i was afraid this story would be one of those menage stories, but no! The author showed us just how close can two brothers be, how a true bond is! I can't friggin' waith for Bishop's story!!!!!! But then i've realised that the times they were living are not what we are used to! After all in a post-apocaliptic world where danger haunts you from every side people and nature your way of seeing and feeling things it's entirely different!!!

After you realise that you will enjoy the story eve more!!! Dec 17, Marta Cox rated it it was amazing. This is the second book in the Defiance series that mainly focuses on a motorcycle club and it's members as they struggle to cope in a post apocalyptic world. The problems they face at times seem insurmountable but together they just might survive. The world has suffered a major catastrophe and chaos reigns. Where previously law and order prevailed now in this new world might is right! Matthias and his friend Bishop are trying to decide whether they should stay with the Defiance motorcycle club p This is the second book in the Defiance series that mainly focuses on a motorcycle club and it's members as they struggle to cope in a post apocalyptic world.

Matthias and his friend Bishop are trying to decide whether they should stay with the Defiance motorcycle club permanently. The compound is as safe as anywhere they have found but sometimes safety can be overrated.

Is it luck or fate that places them at a moment in time that could change their lives? Spotting a young woman being sold as a slave Matthias can't just walk away. Something draws him to her but taking her from a rival motorcycle gang could have disastrous consequences. The fact that Matthias and Bishop kill the rival club leaders son isn't going to win them any points as it looks like all out war is heading their way! Jessa has been sheltered from the harsh realities of life in this new and turbulent land. The daughter of the Vice President she is privy to a lot of secrets about the government and is used to being a pawn but being taken hostage has really shaken her world.

Being rescued by the mute but absolutely gorgeous Matthias just further complicates things. Life is too short to ignore the connection between them but Jessas very survival is at risk. Is she safe with Matthias and Defiance? Or will she find herself being sold out? One thing is certain if Matthias has a choice Jessas is staying with him! There are a lot of books recently about motorcycle clubs and the hard but protective men who form them.

This series is slightly different from the rest as not only is it set in a futuristic and dangerous world but it's a new adult romance. This author knows how to hook her readers and writes stories that have many layers that keep the reader entranced.

Reward Yourself

Dark and gritty with amazingly hot characters this book is a fabulous addition to the series. Loved the strong hero Matthias although it took me a while to connect with Jessa.

As for Bishop well that guy deserves his own book and I sincerely hope it's soon! I'm not usually a huge fan of young adult books but with so much going on in this world that Ms Tyler has created it has to be a five from me! First, this was the first "New Adult" book I've ever read, and I'm guessing that just means the characters are younger than 25?? Not sure, because everything else seems the same as the other books.

Second, this was the first true 'dystopia" book I've read other than a sci-fi novella a couple years ago. This was a really good book! I am loving this series. I missed the first book, but I found Wow! I am so behind in my reading though, so I will have to wait, but WOW!! This is going on my auto-buy list!! Selling people as slaves "anything goes" slaves etc. Two best friends rescue the Vice-Presidents daughter from being sold to an MC who was going to sell her to the Armenians blah blah, by her husband, the President's son.

I couldn't put it down! Sometimes it was scary! It wasn't a world I wanted to live in! If you haven't read any of her books, all I have to say is: Jan 17, Laura Carson rated it it was amazing Shelves: A world where you live with the constant fear of the storm never ending and no guarantees of seeing the sun return. Mathias and Bishop have survived that world as best friends even if that's all they have left, joining up with the Defiance motorcycle club.

While enjoying one of the few days filed with sun, they spot a girl being abducted and sold by a rival MC and Mathias can't just sit and watch, no matter what hell it will rain down on him. Bish has always had his back from the day they met, so the two intervene and save political golden child, Jessa Everson.

Defiance Series

Jessa discovered things were nothing like they seemed, and now finds herself at the hands of men who want to take advantage of her and her connections. What she didn't expect was for her image of an avenging angel to be transformed into a mute bad boy covered in tattoos, or the truths that are revealed in the coming months. Redemption is my first journey into the Defiance series, as well as my first Stephanie Tyler experience, but it certainly won't be my last. This book completely swallowed me whole and spit me out.

A book that took me on such a journey couldn't be anything less than 5 stars and a spot of my favorites list. Post Chaos is such an intriguing and original world that's scary in the reality that it's not entirely impossible. All the characters, including carry overs from the first book I never met before, and new supporting characters brought me into my own virtual world. There is always talk about chemistry between the two main characters romantically, and Mathias and Jessa had that for sure, along with steam through the roof, but my favorite relationship was that between Mathias and Bish.

There was such a deep committed friendship that leaked through the pages, I loved that it was even part of Jessa and Mathias's development. I had no problem reading it as a stand alone. The descriptions of the characters, scenery, and new way of life are abundant and vivid. The writing is flawless and smooth, point of views changing in a charismatic way.

Jul 01, Zane Kage rated it really liked it Shelves: The second book in a series often feels more seamless at the beginning because the groundwork has already been laid. Redemption is no exception. Kick started with a reintroduction to Mathias and Bishop, a kidnapping, rescue, MC fight, and some nice little insta-love all in the first few minutes, once again, I was hooked. As we see Mathias and Jessa battle the issues that come with insta-love without insta-trust, we are also treated to a peeling back of the layers to the bond between Mathias and The second book in a series often feels more seamless at the beginning because the groundwork has already been laid.

As we see Mathias and Jessa battle the issues that come with insta-love without insta-trust, we are also treated to a peeling back of the layers to the bond between Mathias and Bishop, as well as the forging of the bond between Jessa and both men individually and collectively. I found so many things about this trio compelling At one time Mathias saved young Bishop from his father; now Bishop seems to save Mathias from himself. Roots - yes, Defiance, the MC.

More conflict, betrayal, fighting, and resistance play out as the newly reorganized MC is still coming into its own. Of course the story is interwoven further with other blasts from the past, some we know and love, some we want to get to know, and some we know and hate. A good book isn't a good book if its leading women and men don't irritate the you-know-what out of you at some point!!!

As in the first book, we are treated to interesting, complex characters and intricate relationships. As much as this book is about Mathias and his new love, Jessa, it is also about the history of Mathias and Bishop. It is a credit to Stephanie Tyler's flair with the written word that Mathias, who is mute, is perhaps the greatest communicator in the book. Signing, lip reading, typing, writing, facial expressions and touch, both sexual and non are part of Mathias' non verbal arsenal, and boy, does he pack a punch an insanely hot, sexy punch!

I liked you in Defiance, but man, did I love you in Redemption. You're just all kinds of awesome, and so is this book! Jan 15, Eva Millien rated it really liked it Shelves: The second book in the Defiance series is an intriguing story that brings motorcycles clubs to a post apocalyptic future.

Kidnapped by the Lords of Vengeance, Jessa Everson fights every way she can and having Matthias save her is like gaining her own guardian angel in leather and tattoos.

This steady paced plot is full of suspense, romance, self discovery, some action and the fight for survival in a world in chaos. The attraction between Jessa and Matthias radiates from every page and the sex scenes explode with passion. Matthias is a strong alpha male with protective instincts that make him the perfect hero in this post apocalyptic tale. The author uses great details that make the characters seem real and easy to relate to which leaves the reader waning to know more about not only the main couple, but all the characters in this futuristic world.

The world created by the author takes concepts from the present and puts them into a future full of chaos which adds a lot of depth and understanding to the story and the story, as well as the characters are belivalbe. Dec 14, Kelly rated it it was amazing Shelves: Actually, I loved Matthias and Bish. Their bond gives me the happies. They've been a team since they were children and it comes through loud and clear in everything they do. When Matthias falls for Jessa and he falls hard and fast, people! He makes room for her in their lives. Man, I sort of love Bish.

Honestly, the biggest draw here was Matthias and Bish. I really liked the chemistry between Ma Good gravy. Not that she wanted to separate them, mind you, but she realized pretty quickly their bond was one that couldn't be broken without destroying one or both of them. So she found a way to fit into their lives. She accepted both of them and the violence that's so much a part of them. Jessa also introduced another element to the overall world -- things might be bad for those that survived Chaos, but there was the potential for it to get so much worse.

We got to see the dark underbelly of political maneuverings and they are nasty. Good thing Jessa, Matthias and crew have a dark side of their own and are willing to push back when things get tough. Enjoyable entry into the series. And might I just say.. I can't wait for your book. I'm all aflutter at the ending and As much as this book is about Mathias and Jessa, it is also about Mathias and Bishop.

At first I thought things were weird because when Mathias and Jessa were trying to be private, intimate Bishop was also there translating for Mathias. It didn't take too long until the three of them together seemed right. Mathias and Bishop had such a tight connection that you knew any relationship Mathias would have, couldn't happen without Bishop's approval. I did get tried of the drama between Mathias and Jes As much as this book is about Mathias and Jessa, it is also about Mathias and Bishop.

I did get tried of the drama between Mathias and Jessa, but understood that both were scared of what they had with the other and for Jessa, her whole world had the potential to change big time.

When Mathias and Jessa didn't let things intrude, they were good together. I loved how they were able to communicate through music, music that is considered a luxury in Chaos time. I really liked the role that Bishop played with both Jessa and Mathias. Bishop seemed to be the voice of reason to both of them, getting the other to think things through.

My heart broke when Mathias told the story of Bishop as a kid, how they grew up. It was those stories, the one especially, that made the choice that Bishop made at the end, make perfect sense in this crazy world. I worry for what will happen to him due to this choice, but love that Mathias and Jessa plan on being there to pick up the pieces when all is said and done.

Dec 20, Lizzie Andrews rated it really liked it. So for her, I would stay here, make attachments. Because, by falling in love with her, I already had. I loved the MC world in post-Chaos that was created here. It was gritty, frightening, strange and almost a little normal at the same time.

Stephanie Tyler created a great post-Chaos world and showed how much somethings can be similar and how vastly different they can be.

Redemption was well written and engaging, it draws you in from the very beginning. Redemption possesses an amazing love story. It is unique because Matthias is a mute and sometimes you have to read between the lines with him. Jessa was extremely courageous in this story and proved she was way more than a ditzy leading lady. The best thing about Redemption in my book was the friendship between Bishop and Matthias.

It is rare that a friendship survives that long but to become almost the same person is amazing. The were two halves of a whole and worked together fluidly. I am going to pick up the first book, because I don't want to miss any of this series! Mar 24, Laurie Gyd rated it it was amazing. This story gives incite to a different world-Chaos! Jessa the Vice President daughter learns some dangerous secrets and is appalled that her family thinks it's right to take out groups of people to ensure what's left of the world is within their control.

She turns to her husband Charlie, who swears they will find someone to report this information too that will help the world left. Instead he tries to sell her to the mafia after having them kidnapped by a rival MC. Jessa is attracted to Mathias and thankful that they helped her from a horrible situation. Events occur, while Bishop teaches Jessa to sign so she can communicate more with Mathias who is mute.

Their love grows while both are willing to make sacrifices for the other and protect the MC. Dec 23, Boxy Frown rated it really liked it Shelves: Lucky for Jessa, whose husband sells her out at the last minute, Mathias decides to come to the rescue. They take out all the players, and take her to the Defiance compound. The attraction between Jessa and Mathias is instant and white-hot, but they both have to learn to trust each other.

Mathias is mute, and Bishop usually does his translating, so in a way 4. Mathias is mute, and Bishop usually does his translating, so in a way they are a package deal. Jessa still has some secrets that she is keeping close to her chest, and Mathias knows it. He has a sense about things, and follows signs.

He knows that she is the woman for him, but she has to find her own way for the first time ever. This was a great read, I liked it even better than the first book! Mathias was stoic, dangerous, and of course smoldering hot. Jessa was smart, sexy, and overcame so much from her past. I can't wait to continue the series! Jul 06, LaQuette rated it really liked it. This story was enjoyable and engaging.

The male lead in this story is intriguing with an exceptional sense of humor. I found myself laughing at several points during the book, because the male lead is just too funny. This book is a solid four stars on its own merit. However, if I had to choose between book one and book two in this series, I would say book one was definitely a better reading experience for me.

Redemption had much of the same intensity and grit that you find in the original Defian This story was enjoyable and engaging. Redemption had much of the same intensity and grit that you find in the original Defiance tale, I just felt like there was something missing between the love interests in this story; there just didn't seem to be enough conflict. I also felt the story ended too abruptly. There was no preparation that the story was coming to an end, it just stopped. I wanted more of a finished tale, as the author provided in book one. Redemption is the second book in the Defiance series by Stephanie Tyler.

The stand-alone quality was good although I would have liked more on how the Chaos started. I have not read the first book in the series but I am going to go back and read the first book for sure. This is a series to follow! Redemption is a motorcycle post apocalyptical book. Ty Redemption is the second book in the Defiance series by Stephanie Tyler.
