All Bailey Prescott wants is to wrangle a certain cowboy on campus. She spends most weekends searching the party crowds for him. One night, at a lame frat house, she finds herself trapped in a bathroom and ends up the sole witness to a crime...or not a crime? Bailey's one small voyeuristic moment has gigantic implications. Now she's forced to make a choice: forget what she saw and move on, or expose herself in order to save a man from spending years behind bars. Whatever her decision, her testimony is the key to everything. It may even open the door to her happily ever after. That is, if anyone actually believes her. She just wanted to find her cowboy...how did she get mixed up in a mess like this? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

First Impressions
Believing Bailey is such a endearing story and it was a blast of a good time! And what a way to finish off the trilogy. I really enjoyed what the author did with these books. I will say if this university was real, I would never attend because it has the worst luck and the worst human beings that attend there. But I will say that Linda Kage really did a work of art when she wrote this trilogy and I enjoyed every moment. In Believing Bailey, I do think that this book is much more witty and fun than the previous two books. There are some serious events that happen in this one, including a sexual assault scene, so it definitely has some darker elements at times, but the author really balances it out with such strong family ties and humor that will lift your mood, and really helps bring balance to the story in the end.
First Line
This party sucked so bad. Even the beer was stale.
Summary
So the set up is where our heroine Bailey Prescott, has been in search of a cowboy that she once got a glimpse of on campus and ever since has been in search of him. She is also getting tired of her best friends with their boyfriends, like love is so sickening to her of late. But most of that stems from how seeing them and being the fifth wheel makes her feel like an outcast and reject. When she goes to a frat party, just to get a change of scenery, in her search for her cowboy, she runs into Beckett, and when she is voyeur and sees a mix of dubioius consent and videotapes her she is determined to never tell anyone what she witnessed. But when Beckett is falsely accused of rape, she has a difficult choice to make....be seen as a voyeur OR do the right thing and not let a innocent man be accused of a crime he didn't commit.
What I Loved
Believing Bailey was such an interesting dynamic and man my heart broke for our hero. Being falsely accused of rape is no joke and seeing how everyone treated him was awful. Even when he is freed, there is still the rumors and stigma of it where he loses everything...his family, his frat and friends and even being kicked out of college and losing his job. HIs parents steal his money from his bank account and he literally is left with nothing and is constantly being attacked by anyone that recognizes him. Like man....he needs some hugs and lovin'. Bailey is a woman that on the surface seems judgemental and flightly, but she really isn't. She is just spirited and says exactly what is on her mind. I really loved that she was willing to do the right thing and the way that she is with Beckett was just wonderful. I loved how we see her turn into this affectionate woman who begins to see the light and giving Beckett what he needs and supporting him when he needs a friend and more. I had a blast with Bailey's family and how they treat Beckett and defensive she is of him. And man the villain, she gets her just desserts! LOVED seeing that in the end. Quite frankly she deserved jail time but we all know thats not the society we live in.
What I Struggled With
There wasn't anything specific I struggled with this, it just didn't quite get me to a five star level but was still a solid good read. Bailey just isn't my favorite heroine. She was a lot to handle and quite frankly she took way too long to come forward with the truth.
Overall View
Believing Bailey was a pure delight to read and I adored every single moment that delivered such a strong romance that left me with plenty of laughs and tears along the way...
