Cat's Review of Hollywood (Redemption Road Book 2) by DJ Jamison @author_dj_jamison @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @DJ_Jamison_ @TTCBooksandmore

They call me Hollywood because I look like a leading man, but I didn't expect the starring role of single father.... 

 When my ex-girlfriend, Carrie, is injured in an accident, I take sole custody of my two-year-old daughter overnight. I've wanted to be Ruby's father for a long time, but my ex--and her family--haven't forgiven me for my past mistakes.

This is my chance to get to know Ruby and prove that I've changed. I leap at the chance, even though I've got no idea what I'm doing.

Thankfully, my former best friend Tex shows up and sticks by me. He's a natural with kids and instantly calms the panic setting in. One night of support turns into another and another. Bit by bit, Tex is moving into my life and making himself a second father to Ruby.

But he's bailed on me before. Three months ago, he ran from the feelings growing between us.

Now he's here, plucking all of my heartstrings and making me love him all over again. Ruby is head over heels, too. He's everything I want in a partner. For me. For my daughter.

But will Tex return the love this time--or will he break both our hearts?

Cat gives this book 5 meows with a 3 purr heat index...

Oh boy! DJ has outdone herself again!

I didn't think she could top the Foster Bro Code, which this series spun off of, and I suggest you read first as you meet some of these guys and the town Riverton there but it's not necessary.

Each of these books keep getting better and better and this series unlike a lot of DJ Jamison has some angst though there still is some wit woven in as well.

I loved Hollywood and was so happy to get his story but wasn't sure I would like Tex after Knights book where Tex is involved (don't worry...if you haven't read Knight, you will be ok the backstory is woven in, but I do suggest reading it.)

And this story not only is the Redemption from being in prison and starting over but both men have to redeem themselves to someone else as well so maybe a triple Redemption arc.

There is also bi-awakening, friends to lovers, small town romance, found family, cute kid, sweet romance, and a good amount of heat.

I highly recommend not just this book but the series.



DJ Jamison writes romances about everyday life and extraordinary love featuring a variety of queer characters, from gay to bisexual to asexual. DJ grew up in the Midwest in a working-class family, and those influences can be found in her writing through characters coping with real-life problems: money troubles, workplace drama, family conflicts and, of course, falling in love. DJ spent more than a decade in the newspaper industry before chasing her first dream to write fiction. She spent a lifetime reading before that and continues to avidly devour her fellow authors’ books each night. She lives in Kansas with her husband, two sons, one snake, and a sadistic cat named Birdie.
