I usually shy away from romance novels, but I'm intrigued by Mike and Emma's stories. Their traumas and similarities in their life stories sets the pace of the book. I'm also attracted by the strong character plot. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This seems to be an interesting story, indeed. It's fascinating that contains mystery elements. First, I thought it would be more like a romance, but I'm glad to know that fact that it's well-written, with solid characters and an interesting plot.

Romance is not among my favorite genres as it is, but additionally this book sound way too emotionally charged to appeal to my tastes. Because of it, I will have you pass it even though it is generously gifted. My gratitude and congratulations on BOTD!

I love a good love story. What's love if there are no obstacles it overcomes? I am curious about past traumas and pain that keep Mike and Emma from being together. Great review!

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Michaels and Randelli will battle their inner demons to succeed having a relationship together. It is intriguing to know the past wounds the two have: it seemed too traumatic.

No doubt this romance story seems to have its shades of mystery and suspense, I'm intrigued to know why Emma thinks Michael is a mechanic, and I'm also interested to see if and how they finally manage to bond. It's good to know that the story keeps you in anticipation. Thanks for providing such an informative review.

The book sounds interesting. And I thought the book was too heartwarming and heartwrenching with Michael's and Emma's insecurities and their journey towards self-discovery until I've read the revieweres last words about the "author's ability to withhold important information long enough to keep you interested and guessing and the major twist that completely blindsided me at the end". I now think I will give the book a try. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Judging a book by its cover can be most times funny as Emma didn’t expect the unique attributes from the mechanic. Sounds interesting. Good review!

"Double Redemption: the Story of Mike and Emma" by Francis Gene Collins - Two very interesting characters, Mike and Emma, tell their stories in alternate chapters. They both had impossibly hard lives growing up and are quite damaged in many ways. The development of their relationship is fascinating and well worth reading. Thanks for great review.

It sounds like as if this romance has a lot of depth which will please more discerning readers of this genre. I really enjoy a well thought-out plot and the fact that these two characters have a few problems makes it all the more appealing. Thanks for the great review.

Today's BOTD is a romance novel with additional elements of mystery, surprise, and suspense. The engaging storyline is sure to pull readers in right from the start, while the relatable, well-developed characters will keep them turning pages. I've downloaded my copy. Thank you so much for the awesome review! :-)
