BETRAYAL & REDEMPTION FANS!!! Margie found us another series and absolutely LOVED book #2 and is continuing the series as we speak. Now… I’m not a HUGE fan of the book covers, but you know what they say. Never judge a book by its cover, and with a recommendation like this one, who can I resist?
Margie: Betrayal and Redemption. This may be an author you’ve already covered, but the book I just read was amazing. It’s MRC Johnson…the book is Be Careful…Who You Take For Granted.
It’s amazing.
Per Amazon the author MRC Johnson is a contemporary fiction author who lives for stories soaked in emotion—betrayal, revenge, healing, and empowerment, who writes with a raw, bold voice and an unflinching eye for the truth. The characters don’t stay victims; they rise, evolve, and reclaim their power.
This book is how a young man over comes his family’s cruel abandonment…it’s amazing. There are lots of other books. I’m onto the next one.
About book #1:
When Camille’s husband requests an open marriage, it doesn’t just break her heart—it wakes her up.
Left to grieve a relationship that’s still technically intact, Camille enters a quiet unraveling. But instead of seeking revenge, she begins a slow, deliberate reinvention. As Dean pursues new women with the smugness of a man who assumes his wife will stay loyal, Camille rediscovers herself in solitude, in creativity, and in the gentle company of Elijah—a widowed architect who sees her without needing to possess her.
As Camille grows into her power, Dean watches in disbelief as the woman he overlooked begins to thrive without him. By the time he realizes what he’s lost, Camille has already crossed the bridge—and she didn’t need to burn it to keep moving forward.
At its core, this is a story about what happens when the woman you cast aside becomes the woman you can’t reach anymore.
A journey of quiet power, emotional justice, and the kind of love that begins when you choose yourself.

Be Careful Series
A SERIES ABOUT REDEMPTION…
“…In the Be Careful Series, love doesn’t just hurt-it teaches. These emotionally charged, character-driven dramas explore what happens when betrayal meets resilience, and heartbreak becomes a catalyst for transformation. Each book is a standalone journey of reinvention, revenge, and emotional reckoning, bound by one unshakable truth: actions have consequences-and not everyone gets a second chance.
This series isn’t about vengeance for vengeance’s sake. It’s about reclaiming power, finding peace, and understanding that sometimes the most powerful revenge is no revenge at all-just living well without the people who once tried to break you...”
