It was also reminiscent of earlier JP books with the same tired, overused tropes, themes, and devices. Farah was such a joy and a remember to not judge a book by its cover because although she didn't look like someone who might have adapted to life in Redemption it was exactly where she needed to be. This is my first foray in Jessica’s books, and I am THRILLED I decided to take a chance on a new author.

The heroine was raped in the past, she has nightmares which never describe the actual act but the fear and initial attack are described in dreams. 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. She meets people she can confide in, friends she can trust, and even a man who has the potential to heal her shattered heart.And I love how the town of Redemption envelops Farah in their warmth and freely giving friendship and protectiveness.

Cannon oozes alpha male through each page whether it is with just a look or action, he is intense and perfect for Farah. 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.There are some cute scenes with Sage and Xander from Out Of The Darkness, and Sage really kicks Cannon's butt into gear when it comes to making things up to Farrah.
