Bad Alibi: A Small-Town Romance (Redemption Book 1)

Product Information

Heroine hears hero having sex with another woman and is still insanely, knee-knocking attracted to him. There’s nothing better than a packed house on a Saturday night, and co-owning the hottest restaurant and bar in town with my best friends, isn’t so bad either. So to say I was all kinds of excited when the Redemption series was announced AND that Cannon was up on the chopping block of love first, is an understatement.

Like the Hope Valley series, this series is set in a small town that just happens to be filled with people who like to ride, but they are wonderful, supportive people.There are only detailed intimate scenes with the Hero and heroine though she sees a couple of occasions while she is working at the local bar, him leave with other women and while at the bar there are different occasions where women are crawling all over him. She’s been through more than most could ever imagine but has come out of it with a truly golden soul and the determination to live her life on her own terms and I loved watching as she evolved into the woman she always wanted to be. This story is full of laugh-out-loud moments, a crazy cat named Crash, and a manwhore who falls to his knees for the love of a good woman, but Bad Alibi also deals with a rather sensitive trigger subject, and Jessica Prince does it so well.

Just a little caution that it may be a trigger point Farah's trauma involves sexual assault and there are some nightmares and will not so graphic it might not be for some. I always want at least a little bit of angst with my romances, for whatever reason I like to have those moments where I feel my heart drop a little and Jessica definitely delivered. But Cannon can’t stay away—can’t/won’t give up on the first and only woman he’s wanted for long term. This is a spin-off of The Hope Valley series (one of my favorite series) and after reading the first book I know this series is going to be my favorite too. Who doesn’t love a woman who stands up for herself and is bound and determined to make it on her own?I wasn't keen on the visceral reaction the heroine has to the Hero when he is present esp as at times he's either with another woman or just had sex with another woman but there is a reason the author wants it to be remarkable the heroine has feelings she hasn't felt in a long time. Heroine starts new life in town, makes real friends, works in a bar, and our hero is a manwhore whose she sees and hears having sex with another woman in the same Inn she's staying in. Farah Highland was raised with more money than most people could ever dream of, but she only felt accepted and loved from her brother and the family driver who has been more of a parent to her than her biological parents, who have disowned her for daring to live her life based on her own decisions. Notorious town playboy, Cannon Banks grew up living a life encased with love and affection, when he meets Farah he knows he wants her and can tell she is attracted to - and yet she avoids him and pulls away.
