ABOUT THE BOOK:

The only thing worse than living in a town where everyone hates you is having to work for the man who broke your heart.

Redemption, Tennessee held nothing but painful memories that Lark Ashton had no desire to rehash. After the only man she’s ever loved crush her soul and spirit, and all her friends turned their backs on her, she swore to herself she’d never go back. But when her aunt calls, asking a favor she can’t possibly refuse, Lark finds herself public enemy number one . . . again.

Clay Morrison has spent seven years trying to convince himself he’s no longer in love with Lark Ashton. But when the woman he thinks betrayed him and his family returns, she brings with her a whole slew of feelings he’s worked hard to ignore. Now he can’t get the bane of his existence out of his head.

She’s in desperate need of a job. He can’t resist the chance to have her at his mercy.

And they’re both about to discover what happens when the most intense passion they’ve ever felt is with a person they hate.

REVIEW:Guilty Pleasure has got to be the most emotionally involved book Jessica Prince has produced so far. As always with a JP book, I was over the moon excited when I saw we were taking a trip back to Redemption. Small town romances are my bread and butter and always will be.

Guilty Pleasure is the fourth book in the small-town Redemption series. As a serial reader, I always recommend reading any series in order, but this one has enough of the back to story provided that it can be read as a standalone. -It was fun to read about characters from the previous 3 books though.- A fair warning to readers, you won’t be able to put this down after you start it. LOL I picked this up and was deep in the rabbit hole before I knew what was happening.

Lark is a boss. After losing so much at a young age, she found home, family and love in Redemption; everything she wanted so badly. Then suddenly, the floor is ripped out from under her feet and she is left with a gaping whole not only in her life, but in her heart as well. The people she thought where her family, the man she thought loved her and believed in her turn their backs on her. They take the word one someone else. With nothing more to hold her, and everyone wanting her gone, Lark takes her leave from Redemption and swears never to return.

She was done with the town and done with him.

Clay thought he found the love of his life; the one he brought into his family, his life and his heart, but was betrayed. Now she’s back; Lark, the woman who betrayed him and his family. The drama of the past is not forgotten, even if it was seven years ago.

Whewwww, what a read!

Lark and Clay’s story was a whirlwind of drama! I felt for Lark so much in this book. Returning to the place that she knows no one will welcome her, all for the sake of the only woman that has never thrown her away. You can tell how hard this is for Lark, but she is such a strong, independent woman and loves her aunt Sissy. Coming back to Redemption is the last thing she ever thought she would do, but helping Sissy is what she needs. However, when she clashes with Clay and the rest of the town things get heated and the truth finally comes out. Both Clay and Lark struggle with the truth when it comes out and one of them finds it hard to let go of the past.

Take the journey to Redemption and find out just what happens with Clay and Lark! Oh, and a request to the lovely JP; I’m gonna need Callum’s, Pope’s and Willow’s stories pretty, pretty please! I am fully aware I have a reading addiction; I just don’t care. Lol

At Lumpy’s little yip of excitement, I looked down and covered my mouth with a finger. “Shh!” I whispered. “Do you want us to get caught?”
I could have sworn he understood me, because he turned and looked at the kitchen’s doorway, raising his ears slightly like he was listening closely to make sure no one was coming.
“Good boy,” I crooned quietly when he looked back up at me with those big, round chocolaty eyes. “You keep quiet and I’ll give you all the treats.” Just to show him I was a woman of my word, I pulled another piece of thinly sliced chicken from the deli bag I’d found in one of the fridge’s drawers. That was the fifth slice I’d given sweet Lumpy since I spotted Clay’s name written on one side of the bag in black permanent marker.
As far as I was concerned, he totally deserved it. “Is that good chicken?” I cooed, smiling wide when Lumpy’s tail began swishing back and forth across the floor like a hyper little bunny. “Yeah. I bet it is. I bet your daddy spent a pretty penny, getting that from the butcher instead of the sandwich meat section like a regular person.” I pulled out another slice and tossed it up so Lumpy could chomp it midair. Next I was going to teach him how to balance a treat on his nose before catching it.
“Serves him right for making me clean out the stupid fridge.”
I’d been with Morrison Construction for three days, and as I suspected, Clay was going out of his way to make my job miserable. There hadn’t been another blowup like the insanely tense scene in Callum’s empty office, however that didn’t mean he was taking it easy on me. Because he absolutely wasn’t.
But I wasn’t going to let him see how much he was getting to me. The more I swallowed down my snide comments or bit my cheek until it bled to keep from calling him every vile curse in the history of the human word, the angrier he seemed to get. For some reason, it felt like he wanted me to fight back. So I wouldn’t give him that luxury. It was childish, pushing his buttons like that, but I was giving myself that little rebellion.
