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

by Jessica Prince (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,326 ratings
Having grown up trapped in a gilded cage, the events of one tragic night changed everything.

Farah Highland was raised with more money than most people could ever dream of, but with that wealth and privilege came cold indifference and cruelty. 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.

Notorious town playboy, Cannon Banks grew up living the good life. He had it all, loving parents, good friends, and a face and body that drove women wild. Love and commitment were the last things on his mind . . . until he locked eyes with a woman across a crowded bar, and everything changed in a heartbeat.There’s just one problem. Bad Alibi’s newest waitress wants nothing to do with him. But he’s nothing if not determined.

Cannon and Farah are about to enter into a battle of wills.

May the best man . . . or woman, win.

    After meeting Cannon and company in Out of the Darkness, I was crossing my toes that we’d get to see them again. 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. I was THRILLED and this book does not disappoint. It hit all my romance buttons in best of ways and has given me a whole new set of characters to get to know!

    Farah and Cannon. I adored these two. Farrah is strong and sassy. 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. Cannon is a charmer. The man could melt kevlar with his silver tongue, but he has a heart of gold.

    Cannon and Farah’s journey to their HEA was a fun one. They both have their moments ~ some were funny, some had me wanting to reach out and Gibbs smack some sense into them ~ but I loved watching how they worked things out and got to know each other and find that they actually fit pretty well together. Their bantering was a lot fun, the smexy was hot and I loved how everything worked out for them in the end.

    This was a great read. The writing was engaging, pacing good and I enjoyed the dual first person POV’s. There are a few issues that arise that some may be triggered by, but they were handled well and were very much pertinent to the growth of the characters. And then there are the secondary characters...seriously, this one is chock full of people I NEED to get to know better. Bev, Darla, Buck, Shane, Poppy, Bennett, Jace, Banks. Clay...they all brought Redemption to life and I cannot wait to go back!

    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2020

    Let me start by saying that if you have read and enjoyed the ‘Hope Valley’ series of this writer than you will love this story ‘Bad alibi’ (and the new series ‘Redemption’) too! It has the same vibe to it as the ‘Hope Valley’ series. You don’t have to read the ‘Hope Valley’ series first to read this book.

    I discover this writer (Jessica Prince) through the ‘Hope Valley’ series and it’s one of my favourite series. So I was very looking forward to her new series ‘Redemption’ and especially the first book ‘Bad alibi’. Just like the books in her ‘Hope Valley’, this story too had a ‘Kristen Ashley’ feeling to it. And being a big fan of the writer Kristen Ashley, that made me very glad but this time it also made me a little bit conflicted on the story. Because one of my favourite story of KA is ‘Sweet dreams’ and this story reminded me a bit of that story and that made that I couldn’t really loose myself completely into the story. 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 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.

    So now about the story itself, like it said, I enjoyed it very much. Farah was such a wonderful character, strong in her own way, sweet, caring, thoughtful, gentle and kind-hearted. She may come from a rich background but she certainly didn’t acted like a rich, spoiled woman. No! She’s a very warm woman, who’s looking for a home, love and friends. And I’m so happy that she found that in this small town! Cannon’s character was great too, alpha, respectful, interesting, protective and sexy. I liked the chemistry between Farah and Cannon and their interaction with the secondary characters. Their family and friends were fantastic too. I really loved them. You really felt the love, the friendship, the connection between everyone. I can’t wait to read more about them in the next books. In this story we got both POV’s (but a bit more of Farah than Cannon).

    This book is a great start of a new series.

    I really loved this, it was sweet, sometimes sickly so, but it was exactly what i wanted at this moment. I loved the relationships Farah made with everyone and i love how two wonderful people came from such awful parents. I thought there should have been a bit of other woman drama, but i can live without it today.

    This was a super cute small town romance that has a bit of suspense too. I love when I think know what is coming next, then the author throws me for a curve ball that has me nodding my head and say “oh thank you!” out loud.

    This is a great start to the series and I’m looking forward to diving into the rest.

    This was a great story, and even though it had some pretty tough subject matters, it was done in a tasteful way, and offset with the sweetness of Farah and Cannon’s relationship.

    I liked both of the main characters in this book, Farah was sweetness and light even though she was dealing with difficult events from her past. Cannon was a bit of a bad boy to start, but once their relationship started he turned into a big teddy bear, they were the perfect match for each other.

    The side characters in the book are really interesting as well, they’re obviously going to be featured in the rest of the series, so I’m looking forward to reading about them in their books.

    This was my first time reading this author, and I’m really impressed, I’ll definitely be continuing with this series.
