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

Product Information

Helpful hint: an on page suggestion of a main character having a sexual history is perfectly adequate. And she’s finally taken the steps she’s needed to break away from the hypocrisy and poisonous lifestyle her parents tried to force upon her. He had a feel like a Kristen Ashely hero (and God knows how much I LOVE KA), and in truth the whole story felt like her which made me love them even more.

Especially now that her new home is under renovation—bringing back the grand old Victorian charm that’s been long neglected. I love the growth that these two characters show, but it isn’t exactly personal growth because they are well rounded characters, but growth to find the strengths that they weren’t aware they hold.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. Farrah is a Connecticut socialite who sets out to make a new life for herself after a brutal, life-changing incident. Without giving anything away, this is such a complex, emotional, endearing, beautiful, sizzling, intense, amazing, sweet story that will have you rooting for the main characters in this read.

So I was very looking forward to her new series ‘Redemption’ and especially the first book ‘Bad alibi’. 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. Still MAJOR points off for the H's visible manwhore ways to the heroine especially having her hear him having sex.This time it's a small biker town setting, Farah Hyland is starting over, she never liked the lifestyle of her upbringing. He sees Farah and wants her but she is skittish, he decides to bide his time but then he learns who she really is and decides she is not worth it.

The stories unfold in a way that connects me so intimately with each experience, each character, with such a sense of strength and conviction I just fall head over heels in love. I don’t say that this book is a copy of ‘Sweet dreams’ but if you are like me and you have read a book so many times that you know what is coming out of your head, you do (unwillingly) compare stories that has the same feel to it. What was sad because ‘Bad alibi’ is a great story and I’m sure that if I read if for the second time, I will enjoy it more because than I will already know what is coming. I would have liked this way more if it wasn't for some of the hero's actions, one action in particular led to a long ewww from me - after meeting the heroine and feeling a sharp and deep spark of attraction, the heroine hears the sounds of him having sex with another woman. Farah Highland has lived in a gilded cage, though she’s been trying to buck against her upbringing her entire life.So it goes they don't get along too well at first but then Cannon turns out to be really good to her and she's tentatively not sure about it at first. It was also reminiscent of earlier JP books with the same tired, overused tropes, themes, and devices. I absolutely adored Farah, and although Cannon's actions sometimes irritated me (he's such a man), he earned my respect as he earned Farah's. 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.

Determined to start living for herself, Farah cut ties with everything and everyone she'd ever known for the chance at starting over in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. This book has all of the things that this author is known for; strong characters, great plot, just the right amount of steam, and secondary characters that make this feel like family. Determined to start living for herself, Farah cuts ties with the past and moves to the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. For me there was a real ick factor here, he uses a pet name for her and seems to be expressing interest and he's just had sex with another woman and doesn't ever seem to see that's not okay esp as he claims later shes different to the other women and special.Farrah is pretty awesome herself, walking away from the only life she ever knew and settling in Redemption to change everything- super commendable.
