Title: Bittersweet
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Redemption
Romance: Contemporary, Small Town, Second Chance, Single Parent
I loved Jensen Rose with everything I had; then he stomped my heart to dust. Now I hate him, so why is it that I can’t get the sexy, infuriating father of my child out of my head?
She thought he was just a cocky, spoiled rich kid. She had it so very wrong.
Shane Hendrix had a hundred-foot reinforced steel wall around her heart to keep people out, so when she first laid eyes on Jensen Rose, she wanted nothing to do with him. But what started as disdain quickly grew into something so much more. He went from being the boy she hated to the man she loved with all her heart. Then he left without so much as a goodbye, leaving her shattered.
Jensen Rose didn’t have much good in his life. That was until he stumbled on a ray of light standing in the middle of his bedroom. He had to have her, and once he did, he loved her with every single piece of himself. But when his past threatened to rip them apart, he did the only thing he could think to protect her. He walked away.
When he returned to Redemption, Tennessee, it was with every intention of winning back the love of his life. But she’s not giving in without a fight.
And this is a battle he intends to win.

“Sure you’ve noticed already, but it looks like big brother wants to rip your organs out through a hole he’s plannin’ to punch in your chest.”
I turned to look over my shoulder toward the section I knew Shane’s family would be sitting in, along with their other friends. They never sat anywhere else but at the pool tables whenever they came in. And sure enough, Stone Hendrix was looking at me exactly how Gage had described.
The dude had about two inches on me and a couple pounds worth of muscle. Every inch of his beefy arms was covered in colorful ink in intricate designs, only making him look even more menacing than he already did.
I’d only met the man twice back when Shane and I were together, but it had been enough for the dude to scare the absolute piss out of me. Now, not so much. I hadn’t been in a fight in years, but that didn’t mean I’d gotten rusty. If anything, with the skills I’d picked up during my time in the service, I was even better at it than I had been back then. It was just that I had my anger issues in check now.
I looked to his left and spotted Scooter sitting next to him—only slightly smaller but no less threatening—looking at me with the same scowl. Instead of turning away, I jerked my chin up, letting them know I wasn’t going to be intimidated into leaving. They knew why I was here. Hell, everyone in Redemption knew. I was here to get my family back, and I wasn’t going to let anyone get in the way of that.

MY REVIEW
Shane's first and only love is back in town and she's been doing her best to avoid talking to the man who tore her young heart to pieces all those years ago. But she knows eventually she'll have to interact with him considering he's the father of the true love of her life, her son Brantley, but she's putting it off for as long as she can. She really does have walls around herself, though, so she should be good to go, should be good at deflecting anything he might want from her aside from visitation with Brantley. But what if the love she felt for him all those years ago never died, and what if he possibly had a good (not good enough though!) reason for walking out on them? Can she find it in her heart to forgive him and give him the second chance he seems to desperately want?
I've have been absolutely loving the Redemption series! Each story and each couple are perfect for each other even if their journey is bumpy, filled with pain and heartbreaking emotions, and Bittersweet is no exception to this theme. But I think it just may be my favorite yet. Why? One word - Shane. She's such a strong, amazing heroine, a fantastic mother, loving friend, and so independent and tough that my heart hurt for all she had been through. Eventually I fell for Jensen, but let me tell you...it took awhile because I was so pissed at him for ghosting Shane. Once his reason was revealed, I still wasn't feeling it, feeling him, but by the end I can safely say he had earned his redemption, even if I may have never thought he was quite good enough for my girl Shane. But because she still loved him, he got a pass from me. Aside from possibly feeling Jensen didn't measure up, I loved Bittersweet. It's emotionally intense, it's passionate, and the chemistry between this couple is red-hot. A top notch second chance love story.
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.
