Redemption Island: an enemies-to-lovers dark romance (Island Duet Book 1) Kindle Edition

A social experiment. Two crimes. Two victims. One island. Neither knows the other is present. Is redemption possible? Is something more?

Juliet took revenge. The result landed her in a social experiment of solitary reflection called The Island. She didn’t mind the solitude in this tropical paradise until she learned she wasn’t alone. One of them was there with her and this changed everything.

Tack committed a crime—almost. By association, his bad decision cost him the experimental banishment. He thought he’d treat the time away like a much-needed vacation until he noticed he wasn’t by himself. She was here—the woman who derailed his life—and that made all the difference.

Can two tortured souls find their way to redemption through the one person they need forgiveness from the most?

This bold beginning to the Island duet is L.B. Dunbar’s detour into dark romance. If you like thought-provoking circumstances, intriguing situations, and something stunningly different in romantic suspense, then this redemptive romance of enemies to lovers is for you.

Welcome to the Island.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Early Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024

As one of LB’s earlier books, this story is much more intense than we’ve come to know and love from her. Two broken characters are sent to an island for redemption from their crimes and find they know each other in a tragic way. Sadness and grief meld into much more, until just as they are finding a resolution, a hurricane hits the island and they are evacuated separately. The ongoing saga continues in book 2. Intriguing premise, and a need to see how their lives evolve!

4.0 out of 5 stars This book challenged me and I'm better for it.

There are books that are read for the pure enjoyment of the story and then there are those books that challenge how you think and change your view of the world, of humanity. This is one of those books that challenged me and I am a better person for having read it.

The only reason this is a 4 star and not 5, is that I felt as though L.B. pulled a few punches, held back when I needed her to follow through. Still, a great read that makes an impact. I am eagerly waiting for the next installment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bold and suspenseful beginning to this new duet. Can't wait for more!

Redemption Island by Author L. B. Dunbar is book one in the Island Duet.

"He needed to be alone. He wanted to get away. A year on an island by himself sounded heavenly. Five-star accommodations or not, this punishment would be a piece of cake."

Tack has to atone for his sins, so he is sent to the island. Juliet must pay a price as well, and the Island is where the payment must take place.

"Repentant for sin or not, this tropical haven was the religious revival she needed. She’d atone in the sun, bask in freedom, and hold no regret for the evil she’d done."

Redemption Island was the book you take into a movie theater and read while flashes of the story appear so vivid in your mind that it is as if you could mentally project them onto the screen.

“I think I want you to tame me,” he hummed. “But you make me wild instead.”

This story was so incredibly different that what I was accustomed to from Author L. B. Dunbar. I was stunned and in awe. Although I have always enjoyed her stories, Redemption Island had a edge of mystery that surpassed the others and made me hang on each word.

"Each day, I feel as if I’m in a dream, and when night falls, I’m afraid to sleep and end the dream.”

I could feel the change in Tack and Juliet from the beginning of the story until the end. Their emotions, actions, and reactions remained true to their characters, but also revealed just how much impact they had on each other. It was so interesting how their life on the island, though immeasurably different, still paralleled real life.

"Without anger, we cannot know peace. Without hatred, we do not know love. It’s about recognizing one and controlling the other.”

The redemptive nature of the story coupled with a renewed love for self and others made this story emotionally compelling and physically rejuvenating. There was no doubt in my mind that this island had been created for Tack and Juliet to find one another in a new way, and I was their biggest cheerleader, cheering them on and wearing my emotions on my sleeve the whole way. There were shadows of sadness and despair that became lined with hope and newfound life. Laughing, crying, and celebrating with these characters, I heralded the triumph in their journey as they passed through each hurdle.

Redemption Island was a bold and suspenseful beginning to this new duet. Can't wait for more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary. One of the best of the yr. Author stuns with this masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017

With chapter titles like The Island Sees You and The Island Smells Your Fear combined with the title of the novel, I immediately got a Lost TV Show vibe. You know, the show where a plane crashed on the deserted island and unusual things happen? But the story is not rehash and extremely unique. You have two convicted criminals who find themselves on an island instead of jail in a experiment that would replace standard incarceration. The idea was to reflect on misdeeds. The catch? Both were told they were the only ones on the island. Tack is the rich, angry kid who questions everything, including, does Juliet actually exist? Juliet is a poor young woman who made a poor choice, fighting back at the wrong time. These two know each other well.

The story explores the relationship between Tack and Juliet as it evolves, echoing loss, guilt, fear, regret, loneliness and vulnerability. The Lost vibe continues, with storms and unusual activity. You wonder, are they both real? What is this island and its secrets? Why are they both on the island? And most importantly, why are they both inexplicably drawn to each other? I need book 2 like I need water to live. This book was extraordinary. These characters were realistic and their journey arduous. Easily one of the best books of the yr. This author is so fearless, expressing her story without genre constraints. I thank her for bringing this book to the masses, because it just might teach you something about yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a different kind of love story.
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2021

This is the story of Tack (Terrence) & Juliet. They both were sent to an abandoned island for redemption. It was a restorative justice experiment. Oddly enough, it was the same island. Juliet worked at the same club that Tack was being initiated into, so they had seen each other there. She was part of his initiation, and she had to submit to it by her boss. But, her boss came first before Tack, and Tack didn’t really do to her what she thought he did. He just pretended. She killed her boss. Therefore, two crimes; one was legit, but the other wasn’t, but no one would believe it. The island is an experiment instead of going to jail. Neither of the people that sent them knew the other was there for the same reason, redemption. Tack and Juliet learned many lessons on the island. But the last thing was love during a hurricane, and then it was all over. They were both taken off the island early. She claimed she would find him. He would look for her, too, until he found her. The end of the first book. This is such a great book, and one you can’t put down. Looking forward to the second book in this duet.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great story!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2017

This is the first part of a duet. I wasn't too sure about this when I first started it. The two (main) characters need to come to terms with what they did, the crimes they committed. But the more I read, the more we learned about the characters, the more they reflected on their transgressions, the more I grew to like them and the way the story developed. And I loved the way the book finished! There are some great wisdoms here too - the secondary characters are well written as they provide some 'guidance' to the main characters. I can't wait for the conclusion to this story (my pre-order is in already!) I'm keen to see where L.B. Dunbar will take this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing but has some issues
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2017

I liked the idea of this story, but some of the actions of the main characters are just bizarre.
Juliet is on the island because of a crime against a man.
Her attacker is on the island too, a friend of the other man.
Juliet has 'lustful revenge' I think it was called against this man. Who does that?
One night, they discuss what happened between them, except they don't actually get to the truth. Whyever not? If you think you are innocent, you try and ensure the other person knows!
Only at the end of the book, does Juliet remember things properly

I found it all annoying, their actions strange, dialogue a little weird and repetitive.
It's hard to understand the characters too, they need forming further.
