Anna Albertini is trying to live an uncomplicated life but really it just isn't working out. There are troubles in the prosecuting attorney's office causing her to deal with cases out of her realm. Then the one guy who has had her heart for years has BAILED OUT on her with no communication for weeks. Then to top it all off she has to deal with her sister Tess's worthless ex in court. Then the worthless ex is found dead with Tess and Aiden standing over the body. Nope, things are not uncomplicated at all - in fact - they just got worse.
BAILED OUT is hilarious, heartbreaking, steamy and great! Anna is a remarkable character who just wants to do good, but sometimes strange things happen to her. She refuses to believe that Aiden is the bad boy biker that everyone else believes him to be. How could her hero be a bad guy? (You might want to read the first book in The Ann Albertini FilesDISORDERLY CONDUCT to find out in a more in-depth manner their shared past. It is really an excellent read.) Sometimes Anna's good intentions do lead her into trouble but that only adds to her charm.
The characters that surround Anna are varied and intriguing in their own ways. Aiden, who is trying to stay out of her life but can't has his secrets still; her boss Nick Basanelli has his own agenda and he isn't going to back her if it will cause damage to his rep; and Detective Grant Pierce, the good looking cop who wants to get rid of Aiden in the worst way. We are introduced to other bikers that surround Aiden and don't seem to be so bad and as we get to the end of BAILED OUT we find out what his and their secret is and I am really proud of myself because I guessed right! We get to meet more of Anna's family who are a fun, loud lot, supportive and ready to offer advice whether it is wanted or not. And that advice always deals with the unmarried siblings.
BAILED OUT is a first person, contemporary that will hold you captive from the first word to the last. You simply must know what happens next. If you want to watch a woman trying to protect those she loves, be an excellent attorney, be a good sister, daughter and granddaughter, and - survive what life throws at her, then BAILED OUT is exactly what you need in your hands.
Anna Albertini is settling into a routine while ignoring the fact that the blue-eyed Irishman she’d allowed into her bed has up and disappeared on her. Two weeks without a phone call is no big deal, but still. With her hottie Italian boss goofing up the prosecuting attorney’s office, she at least has something to fix. Until she appears in court, across from her sister Tessa’s dirtbag ex. Then she has a mission.
Unfortunately, Anna isn’t the only person who wants the ex put behind bars…or in the ground. Which is not a problem until she and a local cop find the ex-boyfriend deader than dead…with both her sister and Aiden standing over the body.
As a prosecuting attorney, it’s Anna’s job to build a case against Tessa and Aiden. As a sister, it’s SO her job to get Tess out of this mess. As Aiden’s…what? Lover—girlfriend—friend from the past—it’s Anna’s job to figure out who the heck he really is. She has to dig out the truth, regardless of her ambitious boss or the cranky cop trying to thwart her every move. Sometimes a woman has to take matters into her own hands, regardless of the consequences.
