About The Book:

Infinite possibilities….
Infinite passion…..
Infinite danger….

His touch spirals through me, warm and sweet, wicked and hot. I shouldn’t trust him. I shouldn’t tell him my secrets. But how do I not when he is the reason I breathe? He is what I need.

At the young age of eighteen, tragedy and a dark secret force Lara to flee all she has known and loves to start a new life. Now years later, with a new identity as Amy, she’s finally dared to believe she is forgotten–even if she cannot forget. But just when she lets down her guard, the ghost’s of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run.

On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire, who is also a brilliant, and famous, prodigy architect. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take “no” as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less. But what if she is too devastated by tragedy to know when he wants more than she should give? And what if there is more to Liam than meets the eyes

•••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: ESCAPING REALITY is the first storyline in Lisa Renee Jones’s contemporary New Adult series The Secret Life of Amy Bensen and as the series name states-Amy Bensen’s life is awash in secrets.

Lisa pulls the reader into a storyline of mystery and romance, suspense and heartache. As the tension builds, so too does the anticipation of the final revelation but like every good series the reader is left with a cliff hanger of epic proportions. Where does she go from here?

Amy is a heroine with a secret past of pain and sorrow; she is strong and resilient yet amazingly tender and vulnerable. Liam is an alpha male-who goes for what he want and he wants Amy; Amy’s presence in his life will throw our hero into a world he never expected and into a relationship where his heart will forever be tied. But is this the something or someone Liam is looking for? You can feel the heat; the sexual tension is high; and the angst and pull is palpable..

Lisa Renee’s foray into the world of New Adult romance is a fascinating look at one woman’s struggle to survive in a world of people hoping to bury the truth along with the past. In a genre where the storylines overlap in similarity, ESCAPING REALITY and Lisa Renee Jones moves to the head of the pack with her first installment in The Secret Life of Amy Bensen.

He tells himself to forget her but he cannot escape his desire for her. He has to have more..

review
REVIEW: THE MASTER UNDONE is the fifth novella in Lisa Renee Jones Inside Out Novellas and told from the ‘Masters’ POV. This storyline is not a retelling of any particular part of the series thus far, but is a story about what happens next after ‘The Master’ discovers what has happened to his sub Rebecca.

It has been 24 hours since ‘The Master’ discovered that his current sub was responsible for the disappearance of Rebecca-a woman who wanted more from ‘The Master’ than he was willing or ready to give. But his anguish over Rebecca will have to be tempered when a more urgent matter-one that involves his mother-may bring the strong, alpha male to his knees. With his personal life in turmoil, ‘The Master’ will discover a feisty, independent female, a woman whom his mother respects and trusts, in the guise of one Crystal Smith.

Crystal is a woman who is definitely not a submissive. She is an alpha female, with a take charge attitude and knows when to move on. She recognizes that ‘The Master’ is in a vulnerable position and she is more than willing to be his playmate for one night. But when ‘The Master’ awakens to an empty bed, he knows only one thing-he must find Crystal-now.

THE MASTER UNDONE is a short story where Lisa reveals a different side to ‘The Master’-a powerful man we have seen dominate and control-but a man who is just as susceptible to the foibles of the reality of life as any other human. He is man who realizes that he cannot save everyone, no matter what the cost to his heart or his wallet. Lisa pulls the reader into a different point of view but one that lays naked a man’s emotions, his deepest pain and the love of family. The Master Undone is a fascinating and eye opening welcome addition and change from the normal-a man’s POV in an erotic storyline

Being Me Day 7

EXCERPT:

I whirl on him.“I don’t want—”
“I do,” he vows, and before I know his intent, his fingers

twine into my hair and he pulls me into his arms, against his hard, warm body.

“Let go,” I hiss, my hand flattening on his chest. I intend to push him away, but the heat of his body seeps through my palm, radiating up my arm. My elbow softens, and I am instantly closer but not close enough.

“Not a chance,” he promises, his mouth closing on mine, firm with demand. His tongue licks into my mouth with one brutal, commanding swipe followed by another, and I have no resistance left. I’m weak, so very weak, for this man. As always with him, he demands my response and I helplessly respond. I am instantly wet and wanting, my nipples tight points of aching need.
