Description from the publisher:

Brandy Lockmeyer feels like a failure.

Unable to bring down The Eye, an international crime syndicate, she’s left hanging when the FBI task force she commands is disbanded.

Her professional life is in shambles, and she long ago gave up on a personal life.

Being kidnapped and sold to The Eye would have destroyed anyone else, but it only makes Brandy more determined to destroy them.

At Redemption Center, a training compound for loyal soldiers of The Eye, she’s given to Bull, an enforcer who has earned the privilege of owning her. The enigmatic Daddy Dom names her ‘Firebrand” and puts her to work serving him.

When Lukas “Bull” Xuereb is called up to The Eye’s secret headquarters, Brandy seizes the opportunity to bring down The Eye from the inside. The twisted web of lies gets even more tangled when she falls for Lukas—and finds out that he doesn’t intend to leave there alive. With her life, her work, and a love she never saw coming on the line, she must try to save them both.

RE/Deemed is the ninth book in the Doms of the FBI series.  The FBI characters in Re/Deemed have all appeared in other books in the series. Though this book stands alone in terms of the romance, the suspense reading experience is richer if you've read the previous books in the series.  I have only read one other book in the series, but was not at all lost.



I do not like Stockholm Syndrome love stories, aka I-fell-in-love-with-my-kidnapper, but this one was so well written and the circumstances so unique, that I fell in love with Bull right alongside of Brandy.  I loved the slow-burn buildup to their devotion to one another.



The epilogue was exactly what an epilogue should be – oh the feels!



Whether you’ve read all of the books in the series or this may be your first book by Michelle Zurlo, I recommend it.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
