REVIEW: DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part two is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary adult DIRTY RICH Secrets erotic, romantic suspense serial focusing on paralegal Ashley, and former CIA operative Aaron aka Noah. DIRTY RICH SECRETS PART 2 should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of Part 1.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ashley and Aaron) DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 2 focuses on Aaron’s jealousy of the previous attention paid to our story line heroine by a member of the Walker Security Team. Throughout the instalment Aaron is unable to let go of the idea that Ashley may have wanted another man, a man who has also sworn to serve and protect. From angry $ex to accusations of lust and need, Part 2 barely skims the surface of the threats against our story line couple, threats brought about by sins of the past.

DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 2 focuses on issues of trust; of jealousy, possessiveness, and suspicion. There is an inordinate amount of redundancy as Aaron aka Noah is constantly accusing the woman he loves of lusting after another man, or of having sex with said man while Aaron was on the run. Apparently, I am in the minority with my thoughts and take on Part two. Sadly, I struggled to accept Aaron as anything more than a possessive and controlling character whose behavior screams all kinds of wrong, thusly overriding the little bit of information imparted regarding the threats against our story line couple. In this I had a difficult time liking the man we have come to know as Aaron, and therefore struggled to like this particular instalment.

Saying that, this is an issue with novels that have been divided into serialized chapters or parts of books. Oft times, a number of the instalments divulge little to no pertinent information. Reviewing a serialized novel is difficult because to comment on the world or characters building requires a complete novel wherein background, history, personality and premise have evolved or changed throughout the course of the book or series.
