3 1/2 stars, Scott and Michaela live next door to each other and both find the other very attractive but the one time Michaela tried to talk to Scott he made it clear he didn't want to be friendly, neighborly, and defiantly nothing else. When she has car problems Michaela stops by Scott's auto body shop, while she is their getting her car fixed the towns sheriff comes and accuses Scott of breaking into his nephews auto shop.Michaela is Scott's alibi and gladly tells the police this. Scott can't believe that Michaela would stand up for him, she is class and he grew up on the wrong side of the road. Going over to thank Michaela Scott and Michaela get carried away and quickly fall into a relationship. Neither can seem to stay away from the other the longer they are together and they both begin to fall in love. But Scott has his doubts since they grew up so differently, when he thinks all is lost between them trouble again comes knocking on his door.I liked this novella, it is right to the point which I appreciate in novellas. I hate waisting time and words in novellas because they don't have any words to waste. We get a complete story but I wish the end had been a little longer. I also wish instead of so much intimate time together we could have had a little more relationship time together. Scott was a great hero, he was passionate, kind and though he was quiet he was possessive and very loving. Michaela was a great heroine she was smart and thoughtful and didn't fly off the handle and do stupid things that hurt herself, Scott or their relationship.Overal I really liked this book it was a really quick read but it had a complete story, The novella would have benefitted from an epilogue but having said that I think every book long or short could benefit from an epilogue. Tempting Alibi was just a fun refreshing book that didn't have a lot of the tropes other books have and it ended up being a very unique storyline that I really enjoyed.*ARC provided by CrushStar Multimedia LLC and NetGalley, Thank you
