Bad Alibi

Redemption, Book 1

By: Jessica Prince

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood, Stephen Dexter

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.

Cannon Banks, notorious town playboy, 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.

Overall not bad

It’s a nice story, but I really wanted more chapters from Cannon’s perspective. 3.5/5 for me

Captivating

Very much an interesting story. I definitely thought the romance was cute. Also, this book made you kind of like rethink your life and make you wanna travel to a new state new environment. Leave your life behind but in a good way.

loved it!

May have triggers for some. Touched on a real sensitive issue but overall very sweet without shying away from sex scenes. Loved the side characters and looking forward to their stories. Kind of surprised I liked it as much as I did given it is not truly my usual subgenre or trope, but just sweet story without being too "clean".

Babes. This book was CUTE. A super sweet story — but definitely check your trigger warnings. The MFC has flashbacks and panic attacks stemming from a past SA (it happens before the book starts and is all off-page), but she does actively work through her trauma, so just be aware going in.

Other than that, this was such an amazing and heartfelt read. I originally downloaded it because 1) it was included in my Audible subscription, and 2) the always incredible Savannah Peachwood and Stephen Dexter narrated it. I’m obsessed with Savannah — she can do no wrong — and Stephen always delivers. So I came for the narrators… and ended up staying for the story. Totally blew me away.

Needless to say, I’ve added the rest of this series straight to my TBR! 💕

so good

Canon & Farrah: triggers- sexual assault, assault, gun violence, family discord, mental health, grief and trauma. This book was really good. Farrah, after dealing with her rich family and cheating fiance had had enough and breaks ties with them. She only maintains a relationship with her brother and the family driver. She gets a job at a bar and that's where we meet Canon. Canon is known as the playboy of the town. He lives a great life with a great family. He's immediately interested in Farrah but she is having none of that. The story is a slow burn but there's so much going on that the intimacy really wasn't needed. However, when the author gives it to us, it's definitely hot but also a touch concerning. I love how protective Canon and his family become over Farrah. So good. I've already grabbed the second book to this series.
