Joe Brody has been called a lot of things. Some true. Some not. But now that he's back in his hometown, his focus is getting a job and a home for his ill father to convalesce. Easier said than done when no one will hire him.

Ashley Cade has a teething toddler and lives with an elderly man as part of an agreement she made to buy his house. Complicated? Not as much as it sounds. Wilson is a dear and his huge Victorian a gem in the rough. The lonely old man even recommends a friend's son as a handyman to help with the repairs and finally Ashley is making progress. And Joe? Joe is... intriguing to say the least.

But when the police chief tracks Joe down and Ashley discovers his history, everything changes. Wilson swears Joe is innocent. Joe swears he's innocent. But the evidence says otherwise and she doesn't know who to believe when her future business—and her child's life—are at stake....

Kay Lyons always wanted to be a writer, ever since the age of seven or eight when she copied the pictures out of a Charlie Brown book and rewrote the story because she didn’t like the plot. Through the years her stories have changed but one characteristic stayed true— they were all romances. Each and every one of her manuscripts included a love story.


Published in 2005 with Harlequin Enterprises, Kay’s first release was a national bestseller. Kay has also been a HOLT Medallion, Book Buyers Best and RITA Award nominee. Look for her most recent novels from Kindred Spirits Publishing at online retailers or ask for them wherever books are sold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional, clean romance
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020

WOW! This is only the second book I have read by this author, but her books are so emotional, and I have enjoyed reading them. They are well written, flow smoothly, and have great story lines. Her characters are so lovable and realistic that it’s hard not to fall in love with them and their stories. Just be sure and have a box of tissues handy because they are so emotional.
Ashley Cade was a widow with a young son. She had found her way to Taylorsville, bought the Willow Wood house, and was trying repair it so she could open her dream Bed and Breakfast. With limited money and experience, she needed someone to help her. Joe Brody was finally out of prison after serving ten years for a crime he didn’t do. He was desperate for a job and no one in town would give him a chance, but when he showed up on Ashley’s door, she was desperate for help and didn’t know his history. When she learns of his past, will she give him a chance or jump to conclusions like everyone else in town did. This is the first book in the Small-Town Scandals series and I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the series. The next book is Melissa’s and it looks like another great book.

Although they don't seem to have had sex on the page, there's a line or two that mean they might have. There was certainly a lot of sexual tension.

The dialogue seemed natural and scenes well described.
The overall plot was good, too.

This story kind of showed the bad side of small towns. With very few exceptions the locals were reluctant to befriend the new girl, or to trust the returning young man.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book redeemed my faith in romance novels! FIVE PERFECT STARS!
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019

Just when I was ready to give up on cookie-cutter romances with the same old tropes, this beautiful story found its way to my Kindle and straight into my heart. WOW! I finished this book several hours ago, and my emotions are still raw.

Brody's Redemption has everything you could ever want in a romance novel. Joe Brody is a tormented, tough yet gentle guy needing compassion and love after serving ten years for a crime he didn't commit. (He's also gorgeous, in case you wondered.) Ashley Cade is a lovely young widow (with an adorable baby boy) who hires Joe to help her turn a rundown old house into a bed & breakfast in their small town, but they face many challenges in the process.

If this plot sounds familiar, don't worry--it's not. This unusual love story is a gripping combination of mystery and suspense, small town drama, an ingenious "big reveal" and a Happily Ever After ending that left me in tears. Happy tears.

No plot summary this time, because nothing should spoil this remarkable story of redeeming love. If you enjoy clean and wholesome romances with fresh plots, engaging characters and no cliffhangers, you will love this beautifully written book. I'm so glad I discovered this new series by Kay Lyons! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and depressing

Trigger warnings for infant death.

This stand-alone is easy to follow but at times difficult to read due to emotions evoked. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

The storyline is interesting, entertaining and realistic. Flexible procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking and informative dialogue

How does one get compensation for the death of his child, being falsely accused, wrongfully convicted and the destruction of his family and life?

No desire to re-read this story. I am interested in other works by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2019

I started this story in the morning and could hardly put it away to do my chores. This is one of those stories where you end up loving both of the main characters and that is very important for any story. I loved the author's writing style and the realness, honesty and purity that comes with it. Sometimes when you read books, you literally have to suspend reality to accept the storyline. Not so with this.

Also, I could relate to Joe in some ways because I'd been accused of something in the past that I hadn't done and it took God Himself to reveal the truth. So I could definitely feel this man's pain. When you read a story that you can relate to, that makes the experience even more remarkable.

Thumbs up to Kay Lyons for such a wonderful, enjoyable book. I will definitely be reading books from her again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Story
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020

This romance story was interesting. I liked the MCs and how they related to each other, as well as how they grew. I liked how they felt about kids and their strong desire to protect the ones they loved. The heavy overtones of lust and "accidental" immodesty weren't so much to my liking. I kept thinking graphic sex was definitely on the next page or in the next chapter, but it didn't happen. So glad for that, as it's not something I want to read about. And I know this book was about a small town, but I visit a doctor in a small town and there's absolutely no way anyone is busting through to the back to see the doc. That was so unbelievable, as were the interesting placements of prayers and thoughts about God. I guess it fit these characters pretty well, but I kinda groaned. But everything else flowed really well. Grammar and pacing seemed to be on par. Overall, I think it was a good story. If you like a spicy contemporary romance, you might enjoy this one.

I enjoyed reading this story. It flows fairly well and the characters were believable and interesting. There was no sex but it didn't feel like a cop out by the author.

Brody, just released from prison after a 10 year sentence for killing a baby, returns to his hometown to be near his father - about the only person who believes in his innocence. He meets with rejection and loathing on every side until chance crosses his path with Ashley, a young single mother who is being treated as an unwanted outsider and who has experienced more than her own share of rejection and tragedy. Ashley is more or less railroaded by her tenant, Wilson, into giving Brody a job - Wilson knowing all about Brody’s background, while Ashley, the newcomer, knows nothing about him.

The author develops her characters skilfully, building up sympathy and concern as they experience crisis after crisis, each one bringing them closer together, and making the inevitable moment when Ashley finds out about Brody’s past more unbearable. I confess tears were running down my face when I reached that part of the book, and for quite a few pages after.

Recommended.

The plot was interesting and makes for interesting thinking. The subject matter, though difficult, was interesting and thought provoking.

Didn't know if I could read this book due to the content. So glad I did . This book has two young people dealing with difficult situations. Neither had control on what happened in their lives but could they help each other to change the outcome. There was sadness but also love and hope. Good job dealing with sensitive matters
