ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 23, 2019

The second and final book in the Dirtier Duet by Lisa Renee Jones.

Abbie swore that she was done with rich, powerful men. They’ve hurt her. They’ve hurt her mother, who she will do anything to protect. She’s done playing the submissive. She’s ready to fight back.

The problem is that Gabe Maxwell is one of those rich, powerful men and he refuses to be ignored. He’s in her path and she can’t seem to steer clear of him. He wants her. She wants him. But it’s not that simple.

There is more to her story, more than Gabe knows, but then, there is more to Gabe’s story than Abbie knows, too.

REVIEW: HER SUBMISSION is the second and final instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult DIRTIER DUET erotic, romance duet focusing on attorneys Gabe Maxwell, and Abigail ‘ Abbie’ Tanner. The DIRTIER DUET is a spin-off from the author’s DIRTY RICH series. As per Lisa’s style of writing there is a slight cross-over with the Tall, Dark And Deadly series, and the appearance of Walker Security, as well as several characters from the author’s Dirty Rich series. HER SUBMISSION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one-HIS DEMAND.

NOTE: If you have not read book one HIS DEMAND, there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from three first person points of view (Gabe, Abbie, and Gabe’s brother Reid) HER SUBMISSION picks up immediately after the events and cliff-hanger of book one HIS DEMAND in which our couple are rapidly discovering that not everything is going according to plan. From murder to betrayal and vengeance; power and control Gabe and Abbie find themselves pulled into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, a game in which our couple have been targeted for who they are, and what they know. Desperate to protect the man with whom she is falling in love Abbie struggles with the direction of Gabe’s plans, and the investigation meant to reveal who is behind the threats to Gabe and Abbie’s lives, as well as the threats against the people they love.

HER SUBMISSION is a character driven, erotic, intense and suspense filled story line of family and friendships; secrets and deception; power and wealth. Lisa Renee Jones pulls the reader into a sexy, spicy and fateful tale of love, lust and longing. My only issue is the identity of the killer- a little disappointing and unsatisfactory reveal.

“What do you want, Abbie?” Gabe demands, tearing his mouth from mine. “Say it. I need you to be clear. What do you want? But be careful what you ask for. You’ll get it.”

“More,” I say, twisting my hands in his T-shirt. “More of you, Gabe. All of you.”

He slides his hands under my leggings, palming my backside I left bare in the rush to take out Dexter. “More doesn’t get you a nice, funny guy, Abbie.”

“Thank fuck for that. Show me. Stop hiding. Stop trying to be only what you think I want, Gabe. Stop trying to be less than you are because that makes us less than we can be.”

“And if you can’t handle who I am?”

I’m on fire now, poking the bear and I can’t hold back. “And you’re afraid to find out. Is fear all I make you feel?”

His mouth suddenly crashes down on mine once more, his tongue pressing past my teeth, his kiss demanding, angry. He’s pissed. At me. At himself, I think, and that’s what I want to know. That’s the part of him I want to understand, I want to demand he show me.

“Get undressed,” he orders, setting me back from him, crossing his arms in front of that broad perfect chest of his.

My chin lifts in defiance, in refusal to allow him to intimidate me. Maybe he wants me to think he’s a monster like Kenneth. Maybe that should even piss me off but it doesn’t. It challenges me.
I pull my shirt over my head and toss it aside. “See?” I say. “Sometimes I even follow orders.” I unhook my bra, shrugging it away, exposing my naked breasts, the cold air puckering my nipples. “I must be very, very afraid of you.” I toe off my shoes and peel away my leggings, no panties to fret with. I’m not wearing any. Naked now but for socks, I’m not messing with, I close the small space between us and stand in front of him. “Or maybe I was right. You’re the one who’s afraid.”

He catches my hip and drags me to him. “You’re playing with fire.”

“Stop warning me away and pulling me back. Choose, Gabe. All in, remember? Or is that code for only if it’s me?”

His jaw clenches, his gaze lowering, raking over my naked breasts, and I can’t explain it, but I’m more naked right now, in this moment, with this man, than I’ve ever been before.

“All in, Abbie. That’s what you want? That’s what you’ll get.” He backs me up and presses my hands on the bar behind me and at my sides. He shackles my hips, and pulls me forward, forcing me to use them to hold myself up. “Keep your hands there,” he orders. “If you move them, I’ll punish you.”

Heat rushes through me but there is no fear. I don’t fear this man the way I feared Kenneth. I will never fear Gabe. I damn sure don’t fear the thick bulge of his erection pressing against my belly. “Punish me?” I challenge. “How would you punish me, Gabe?”

“You still haven’t been properly spanked, now have Abbie?”

“You spanked me, remember?”

“That was a love pat, remember? A spanking” he adds, most likely for effect, as he’s watching me with hooded eyes. “My hands on your pretty little ass. My cock buried inside you while I make it burn.”

His hand on my ass.

Spanking me.

His eyes lower to my mouth, linger with a promise of a kiss I crave but that doesn’t come, his gaze lifting with his own challenge. “Are you scared now?”

“If that’s the goal, it’s safe to say that you failed. I’m pretty sure what’s going on with me right now, can not be described as fear. Are you scared?”

I expect him to laugh or balk but he doesn’t. He leans in close, his lips at my ear, “From the day I met you, baby. From the day I met you.” He pulls back to look at me, blue eyes lit up and like fires in a forest, they burn a path through me. “And you’re right. I am pushing you. Right here. Right now. Don’t move.”

His Demand (The Dirtier Duet #1) by Lisa Renee Jones – a review

HIS DEMAND (The Dirtier Duet #1) by Lisa Renee Jones-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

Gabe Maxwell is a powerhouse in the boardroom, a man with a dark past he’s buried under success and power. He’s not a white picket fence and forever kind of guy and he’s definitely not into redheads. That is until one corners him, kisses him and thanks him for waking her up. Right before she walks away and leaves him. She’s gone and he’s obsessed.

Then she walks into his office and back into his life, and he has to have her. It doesn’t matter that she’s the kind of woman you marry. It doesn’t matter that she’s everything he avoids because she’s everything he wants.

Only Abbie isn’t the good girl she seems. She has secrets and a past and soon, she’ll pull Gabe into her bed, her life, and that spells more than obsession. It spells danger.

•••••••••

REVIEW: HIS DEMAND is the first instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult THE DIRTIER DUET erotic, romance duology –a spin off from the author’s DIRTY RICH series but can be read as a stand alone without having read the previous series. Any important information from the previous story lines and series is revealed where necessary. This is attorneys Gabe Maxwell, and Abigail ‘ Abbie’ Tanner’s story line. Gabe is the brother of Reid Maxwell from the author’s Dirty Rich series. As per Lisa’s style of writing there is a slight cross-over with the Tall, Dark And Deadly series, and the appearance of Walker Security, as well as several characters from the author’s Dirty Rich series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Abbie and Gabe) HIS DEMAND follows attorney Abbie Tanner as she struggles to stay one step ahead of her past, a past that will come full-circle with connections to our story line hero. Hoping to convince Reid Maxwell to take her case, Abbie will come face to face with the man who would steal her heart. Enter Gabe Maxwell, a powerful attorney, and the man with whom Abbie will fall in love. When Gabe tries to convince Abbie they are stronger together, Abbie believes their time together pulls Gabe into the direct line of fire, and in doing so Abbie struggles with the what ifs and potential disaster for Gabe Maxwell. As the story line progresses, the couple are pulled deeper into a game of betrayal and revenge as both keep secret, sins of the past. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Abbie and Gabe, and the potential fall-out as Abbie’s past is determined to destroy everything including the man with whom Abbie is falling in love.

The relationship between Abbie and Gabe is one of immediate attraction; an insta-lust and highly sexual relationship wherein Abbie battles between head and heart, as Gabe desperately tries to convince Abbie, she is the one. The $ex scenes are erotic, passionate, seductive and intense.

HIS DEMAND is a story of betrayal, vengeance, family, secrets and lies. We have yet to learn the truth behind the attacks against our heroine and her family, or Abbie’s need to run from her past; as well as Gabe’s secrets that have hardened his heart towards family and a happily ever after. The premise is entertaining, suspenseful and intriguing; the romance is provocative and hot; the characters passionate and energetic. HIS DEMAND ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
