A Wicked Song is the second book in the Brilliance Trilogy
••••••••
REVIEW:A WICKED SONG is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult BRILLIANCE erotic, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on musician/violinist Kace August, and twenty eight year old collector Aria Alard. A WICKED SONG should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one A RECKLESS NOTE. Several characters from the author’s Inside Out, Savage Trilogy and Walker Brothers series cross over for familiarity.
Told from first person perspective (Aria Alard) A WICKED SONG continues to follow the building romance and relationship between musician/violinist Kace August, and twenty eight year old collector Aria Alard. At the end of book one A RECKLESS NOTE Aria, believing her family heritage and her life on the run continues to remain a dangerous secret, quickly discovers that the man with whom she is falling in love knows more about her family than she could have ever imagined. Preparing for an upcoming concert with artist Chris Merit, Kace will come face to face with his own darkened past, a past that is desperate to destroy Kace’s relationship with our story line heroine, claiming betrayal and revenge, for sins of the past.
Meanwhile, Aria’s brother Gio is still missing. Presumably on the hunt for treasure with a woman whose identity remains a mystery to our story line heroine, Gio has not responded to Aria’s attempts at contact, and with this, Gio’s disappearance becomes Aria’s number one problem.
A WICKED SONG is a story of haunting secrets, issues of trust and heart breaking lies; betrayal and vengeance; relationships and love. The premise is spirited, edgy and intense; the characters are charismatic, energetic and flawed; the romance is intimate, erotic and provocative . A WICKED SONG ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

A low, frustrated sound escapes his lips and he drops the medication bag, and spikes fingers into my hair, a low curse escaping his lips. His eyes meet mine, and the depth of the emotion he then spikes in me steals my breath. Before I can catch it again, he’s breathing for me. His mouth slants over my mouth, his tongue licking a wicked, seductive note against my tongue. And despite my injured hand and my burdened heart, I melt the way I always melt for this man. I melt and I moan, and when he tears his mouth from mine, I am panting.
“That is how you know,” he declares. “We are connected, you and me. We both feel it.”
“All that says is that I want you and that I have the potential to be foolish because of that desire, but I won’t live up to that potential, Kace.”
“How do I know you aren’t after my money?”
I blanch. “Because I’m not. You know I’m not.”
“Can you prove it?”
“You know I’m not,” I repeat.
His hands come down on my shoulders and he pulls back to look at me as he says, “I do know you, but that still requires me trusting you and I’ve had plenty of reasons in my life not to offer you that trust. Reasons you don’t know. Many reasons, Aria. Many betrayals. But I give you my trust anyway. I’m not after the formula, but all I have to offer is my word. You have to decide if you trust me.”
My hand settles on his chest, and his heart beats a rowdy song beneath my palm. “I’m very confused right now,” I confess, and it’s as honest as I have ever been with him or me. “And my head is spinning.”
His hand covers my hand on his chest. “Then let me take care of you. Let me take you home.”
There is a library filled with books the size of all the reasons I should say no, but even as I have that thought, he says, “Don’t say no.”
Words he’s said to me every moment of indecision I’ve ever shared with him. And right or wrong, like every time before, I don’t say no. I say, “Yes.”
