Sunny Shelly’s Review: Dead to Rights by Jessica Prince

Title: Dead to Rights
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Ashland

Spicy Small Town Romance, Opposites Attract, Romantic Suspense, Bad Boy Biker

When I caught my husband having an affair, I picked up what remained of my tattered pride and broken heart and left the city behind, heading for a small town where motorcycles outnumbered cars three to one.

Ashland, Tennessee was where I planned to start over and become the woman I wanted to be; a woman who was fun and just a little bit reckless. The need to break out of my shell led to one wild night with a man I never planned on seeing again. But when the tattooed stranger showed up unexpectedly at my new job, he made it clear that once wasn’t going to be enough for him.

As the president of a motorcycle club with a checkered past, Courtland Pope should have scared me, but no matter how hard I tried to stay away, the pull to him was too strong to ignore.

However, when old rivalries breach the surface and the line between good and bad begins to blur, I find myself stuck in the middle. And as much as Pope wants me, he might not be able to protect me from the past.

**Ashland is a BRAND-NEW series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Dead to Rights kicks off a new series from Jessica Prince. Pope — aka Courtland Pope — is the president of a MC (but Jessica Prince said that this won’t necessarily be a MC series). Lennon is new to town, having recently gotten divorced, and they have a hot one-night-stand her first night in town. They cross paths again several weeks later when Pope arrives at Lennon’s school to pick up his niece.

I liked this book, but I didn’t *love* it. I struggled a bit with Pope and Lennon falling hard and fast, because I didn’t feel it. There is a connection between them, sure. And there’s lots of spicy scenes. But I didn’t get that sense of head-over-heels-love between them. Despite that, I did enjoy the alpha male vibe that Pope gives off, and how he’s a good guy who has done some questionable things to protect the people he loves.

Overall, I thought Dead to Rights was a fun read, and I look forward to what comes next in the Ashland series!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.
