Small Town Romance | Marriage of Convenience
Jessica Prince slays the small-town romance trope. I’ve only read a few of her books but I can tell just from these few that she’s the best of the best when it comes to these novels. Why? Because you’re transplanted right into the world and immediately connect with the characters. The values they hold are strong, and they work perfectly for the setting. All in all, it’s simply perfect and I can’t praise this book enough. If you’re a hardcore small-town romance fan like I am then you won’t want to miss this book, or any other books Jessica has written.
As with most books within the trope, readers can be sure to find the sweetest romance, and characters that instantly take up space in your heart. Jase and Poppy were incredible together and seeing these two slowly fall in love despite past traumas (Jace from his parent’s horribly treatment of him and his sister, and Poppy being heartbroken and left by her ex-boyfriend) that they went through. I loved how Jessica brought these two together with a marriage of convenience trope and was rooting for them despite their misgivings about falling for one another. Honestly, I just fell so hard and fast for these two that I couldn’t get enough and I was sad that it ended.
Not only does this book have small town feels and a marriage of convenience trope, but there’s a little suspense and a shocking twist towards the end that leaves you hanging by the edge of your seat! My anxiety went through the roof for a few minutes, but I knew Jessica wouldn’t let me down (and she didn’t). I loved it!
Overall, this is a beautiful love story with wonderful characters and a fantastic plot. Jessica leaves breadcrumbs for secondary character relationships that have potential to be the next book and I am crossing my fingers that Shane’s story is next!

This is the second book in the Redemption series and Poppy's story. I fell in love with Poppy in the first book and Jase (Farah's brother from the first book) couldn't have been more perfect. They both bring something each other needs in their lives. It may be a marriage of convenience, but it's easy to see these two are going to have a hard time keeping feelings out of it. There are some truly romantic moments between the two. Jase will make you swoon. I love being able to revisit Redemption. I so love the cast of characters. There is one part of this book that kept me on the edge of my seat. It's a little nail biting for sure and one the most emotional parts of the book. Also loved that some of my favorite characters from Hope Valley make a cameo. This book is so worth the read. You won't be disappointed. It's going to be hard to put this book down because the characters are going to pull you right in.

Having read and LOVED all of Jessica Prince's books it is becoming a tad bit redundant to write reviews of love and adoration...but here we go again. This one though, this one hit my heart HARD. Jace and Poppy connected with me immediately and I wanted for them deep in my soul from the very beginning until the end. I had physical reactions to these two during their journey, my heart would soar, then ache, then drop, cheer and love it all. Jace was a broken man, made this way by being the protective, loving soul that genetics couldn't possibly be responsible for creating, because his parents are a special kind of awful, only the heart of a good man could. He is fierce in his love and loyalty, wanting for all others before himself and I absolutely loved him. Jessica Prince OWNS small town romance, I implore all of my reader friends to grab one of her books and read it. You will thank me, you will be addicted and like me, you will fall head over heels in love. Every book from Ms. Prince becomes my new favorite of hers and this one now holds that top spot, until next time...
I just love the small town romances that Jessica Prince creates and this was no exception! I'm addicted to the Redemption, TN crew. Each book in this series brings in more incredible characters who pull me in and make me fall in love. Jase and Poppy's story was exactly what I'd hoped for in an arranged marriage of convenience story! It was hot, heart breaking, dramatic, uncertain, sweet and teasing.
I truly felt for both main characters and their individual struggles and issues. Both Jase and Poppy had pasts they wanted to forget about, people and memories they wanted to leave behind. Jase more so with his manipulative and controlling family and the wealth that accompanied it.
These two characters were meant for each other and I'm so glad they got their HEA in the end, despite the utterly bumpy and life threatening path it took to get there! The turmoil that Jase's family put them through only proved how perfect for each other they were and how deep their love flowed for one another.
This story was fast paced and flowed so well. The writing was incredible. Enjoyed it from start to finish!

Wow this story was simply amazing!! In book 1 we saw how protective Jase was of his sister but in this book he was in another level. Poppy gave up on love after a 7 years relationship went left and surprised her with the sudden change. She promised herself she would never give her heart again to any guy then enters Jase, her friend’s brother. He needed a favor and she helped him out to be his “fake” wife but real feelings got involved. What they didn’t know was that it was never fake from before it happened. But then Jase parents were a nightmare and he did everything in his power to not only protect his sister but also Poppy. Poppy was his world. There was a very scary moment but he cane thru for her. I liked seeing glimpses of Farah and Bennet POV and the love they have for Jase.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely loved this book by Jessica Prince. From the start of this book I couldn’t put it down. I was instantly wrapped up in Poppy and Jase’s story and wanted to know what would happen next. You felt for Poppy when she was on her own and dealing with the inn and you fell for Jase when he did what he could to help her out. I loved their chemistry with one another because you could feel the attraction but also how much they cared for one another even though they wouldn’t say it. If you are looking for your next book, this is the one to read!
