ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 10, 2023

All dressed up and no one to kill…

Actually there are plenty of people to kill, but I’m trying to show restraint. I have handcuffs. I have a badge. I can arrest the bad guys and not kill them. But with my father trying to become governor, and Kane’s uncle standing in my face, all bets are off. Because let’s just face it, being a bitch isn’t a way of life, at least not for me. It’s a destination I travel when idiots lead me there. And cornering me in a back alley as Kane’s uncle has done, makes him an idiot. And sometimes being a bitch means a girl just has to get stabby

•••••

REVIEW: THE PARTY IS OVER is the eighth instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult LILAH LOVE romantic suspense series focusing on foul-mouthed, aggressive, contentious and prickly FBI agent Lilah Love-Mendez, and her husband, businessman /Cartel heir Kane Mendez. THE PARTY IS OVER can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading book seven HAPPY DEATH DAY for back story and cohesion as the events of book seven directly affect the events of the current time line. If you have not read HAPPY DEATH DAY there may be spoilers in my review.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from first person perspective (Lilah), and a final chapter from Kane, THE PARTY IS OVER follows Lilah as she is called to investigate another murder reminiscent of horror movie scenarios labelled Horror Movie Copycats. The most recent murder mimics The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and a serial killer may be targeting the customers at a small coffee shop where Lilah gets her fix. As the violence and bloodshed increase, Lilah finds herself reliving a nightmare that almost cost our heroine her life. As Lilah continues to search through the blood for clues, her husband Kane Mendez heads to Mexico in an effort to stop another threat aimed at our story line heroine.

Meanwhile, Lilah’s father Grant Love’s run for office has made him a target of some very powerful people. As a member of the group known as The Society, the power behind Grant may no longer be under his control.

The secondary and supporting characters include Lilah’s bodyguard Jay, Kane’s bodyguard Kit; NYPD Chief Houston, FBI Directory Murphy ; Lilah’s brother Andrew, their father Grant Love; forensics techs Jack Cox, and Noah James, Lilah’s IT guru Jeff ‘TicTac’ Landers; Kane’s uncle Miguel.

THE PARTY IS OVER covers but twenty-four hours in the life; a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, love and acceptance, obsession and murder. The fast paced and thought-provoking premise is captivating and gripping; the characters are enterprising and energetic. THE PARTY IS OVER ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

“If they didn’t bring the donuts with them, they aren’t welcome.”
“They know you well enough to bring the donuts, Lilah,” he assures me. “It’s better for their safety and sanity.”
He knows me so well. It’s really quite romantic.
I enter the kitchen a few minutes later to find my éclair in Jay’s mouth.
“Are you fucking serious right now?” I demand.
“There are four éclairs,” he argues, his mouth still full.
I join the three of them at the counter and pick one of the three remaining up. “And your point?”
“You can’t eat four,” he declares. “I’ve seen you garbage disposal down two, not three, and definitely not four.”
“You sure do have an attitude lately,” I reply. “And for your information, Kane can garbage disposal down two. Three on a good day, but it won’t be a good day today, now will it?”
Jay’s brown skin turns pasty white. “Fuck.” His gaze rockets to Kane’s. “Man, I’m so sorry.”
“Do I look like an éclair kind of guy to you?” Kane asks dryly.
Jay sets down the donut and holds up his hands. “I can’t win. I don’t want the donut.”
I’m laughing inside but it will ruin the hell out of giving Jay a hard time if I let it bubble past my lips so I hold it in. It’s not easy but I manage. Kit does not. Kit barks out laughter. “Holy fuck, man, when will you not be this naïve?”
Jay glances around the island. “Does that mean I can finish the donut?”
“Maybe you should save it to deflect bullets,” I say, and my cellphone buzzes with a message from Rollins…

Bastard Boss (Tyler & Bella 1) by Lisa Renee Jones-Review & Excerpt tour

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

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 21, 2022

A sexy, dirty talking alpha. The beautiful, sweet, and fiery Bella. Her boss. A contract that forces him to marry. An arrangement that will change them forever. Meet Tyler Hawk…

Tyler Hawk is a man with secrets and a dark past. A man who has known tragedy and betrayal. He wants for little, but what he wants is more power, a legacy that is his own, and not his father’s. There are obstacles in his way, one of which is the scandal his father left behind and a will with certain demands.

Behind the scenes he is a man on edge, and only one woman sees the truth hidden beneath his strong will and dominant rule. Bella is somehow demanding and submissive, fiery and yet sweet. She can give him everything he wants, she just doesn’t know it, not yet, but she will. If she’ll just say yes and sign on the dotted line.

••••••

REVIEW: BASTARD BOSS is the first instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult BASTARD BOSS erotic, romance duet focusing on attorneys, thirty-four year old Tyler Hawk, and twenty-seven year old Bella Bailey. BASTARD BOSS is a spin off from the author’s THE NECKLACE TRILOGY focusing on author Dash Black. Bella is Dash Black’s half-sister.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tyler and Bella) BASTARD BOSS follows the tempestuous relationship between attorneys, thirty-four year old Tyler Hawk, and twenty-seven year old Bella Bailey. Bella Bailey works as a contract attorney at Hawk Legal but months earlier, Tyler’s father, embittered and embroiled founder Jack Hawk murdered his girlfriend, and lost his own life in the fall-out. Fast forward three months, Tyler Hawk has yet to come to terms with the possible ramifications of what happened and why, when the reading of the will sends Tyler’s life into another unstoppable spiral. Conditions must be met, and if not, Tyler would lose everything he has accomplished including the woman he refuses to love. Enter attorney Bella Bailey, his best friend’s half-sister, and the woman he needs more than he could have ever imagined. What ensues is the back and forth, up and down relationship between Bella and Tyler, and the potential fall-out as jobs, lives and careers hang in the balance if Bella refuses to agree to Tyler’s demands.

Bella Bailey has always been attracted to her boss, her brother’s friend Tyler Hawk but Tyler’s demons run dangerous and dark, and he carries a burden of heavy guilt upon his shoulders-not the grief of a son losing his father but of a man who blames himself for the death of an innocent woman. When Bella offers ‘comfort’ Tyler’s outright refusal sends our heroine a message, a message she is about to take to heart but the terms of their friendship and work relationship are about to implode, and Bella is forced to run away with a broken heart.

The relationship between Bella and Tyler is a boss/employee, best friend’s sister, forbidden romance in which Tyler refuses to cross a line Dash Black has drawn in the proverbial sand but Tyler’s future and the future of everyone at Hawk Legal is spiralling the drain, unless Tyler can convince Bella to go along with his plans, in an effort to further curtail a scandal that could possibly end their lives. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters include Bella’s brother Dash and his fiance Allison Wright, attorney Gavin McCloud, and fixer Dierk Jordan.

BASTARD BOSS is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and struggle. The character driven premise is captivating and riveting; the romance is erotic and intense; the characters are broken, determined, desperate and destroyed. BASTARD BOSS end on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

“You’re going to have to share your room with me, sweetheart,” he says, and he doesn’t allow me time to object or even savor that endearment, not that objection is on my mind. I’m thinking of nothing but his mouth and hands on my body and this time, mine on his.

He opens the door and enters the room, maneuvering me along with him. The door slams shut behind us, and he’s already kissing me again. This time when his fingers find my hair, he gives the long strands an erotic tug and drags my gaze to his. “Control in all things, Bella. It’s who I am. It’s what I need, not a want.”

“And as you remember,” I say, my fingers curling on his chest, “I don’t like what I can’t control, which I guess actually means I like control, too.”

“And you have it with me,” he promises. “Always. All you have to say is no, and we find what feels like a yes to you. You asked if I trust you. I’m asking you now, if you trust me.”

I consider the complexity of the question. Do I trust him to listen when I say no? Yes. Do I trust him not to break my heart? I’m pretty sure that’s signed, sealed, and delivered, so, no. Do I trust him to make tonight all about pleasure? The kind of pleasure I’ll remember long after he is married off to his future fiancée. Yes. That’s a brutal yes because of where this is headed, which is nowhere but right here, right now, but one I can’t walk away from, either. “Yes,” I say. “I trust you.”

“I don’t think you do, Bella,” he murmurs, and the way he uses my name—it’s as if he wants me to know I’m not just sex to him. Or maybe I just want to believe that—even need to believe that—to be here with him, to be this intimate with him. Because I’m still me. I’m still not the “sex is sex” kind of girl, even if he aspires to change that in me. “But I want you to trust me so damn badly it’s insane,” he adds roughly, an edge of frustration in him, as if this statement somehow contradicts the control he so values.

It shakes me just how much I’m pleased that I’ve tormented him in some way, as if it’s selfish of me. I know this, but Lord also knows I’m tormented over this marriage agreement he’s obviously accepted. And if I think too hard about it, I will run. I will leave.

I don’t want to leave.

I press to my toes, desperate for his mouth and body, for that oblivion he’s shown me once that I crave once again.

His grip tightens gently round my hair, the act both arousing and brutal, as he denies me his mouth. “I’m going to make you trust me, Bella,” he declares, and then, thank you Lord, his mouth slants over my mouth, his tongue caressing my tongue. And it’s a toe-curling, deep, drugging kiss that leaves me breathless when his lips part mine. “Undress, baby,” he orders. “I want to watch.”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 26, 2022

The third and final book in the Walker Security: Lucifer Trilogy…

In the mind-blowing and stunning finale, all will be revealed as Lucifer’s forever with the woman he loves hangs in the balance

•••••

REVIEW LUKE’S REVENGE is the third and final instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult LUCIFER’S TRILOGY, erotic, romantic suspense series-a part of the author’s Walker Security world. This is is the continuing story of Walker Security specialist and pilot Luke ‘Lucifer’ Remington, and FBI Agent Ana Banks. LUKE’S REVENGE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of LUKE’S TOUCH aka LUCIFER’S TOUCH.

SOME BACKGROUND: Six years earlier Luke Remington met and fell in love with FBI Agent Ana Banks but life, death, betrayal and vengeance pushed Luke out of Ana’s life, and in the two years since they have been apart, Ana struggles to accept what happened and why. When Luke gets word that he and Ana, as well as several members of his original team are part of a hit list, Luke and the team from Walker Security go in search of the woman he loves, only discover betrayal at the highest level.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luke and Ana) LUKE’S REVENGE picks up immediately after the events of Luke’s Touch in which Luke and Ana continue to rebuild their fractured relationship, as they search for the truth, and a missing package no one knows anything about. A necessary return to The Ranch, her late father’s sanctuary and training grounds for assassins and elites, Anna and Luke must face the reality that all is not as it appears to be. Struggling to comprehend the how and why of more than one personal betrayal, our couple, with the help of Walker Security, search for the elusive ‘package’, a package that has resulted in the death of many, and the double cross of many more.

The relationship between Luke and Ana continues to rebuild but Ana struggles with what was; what happened, and the possibility of it happening again. Luke knows that Ana is the only woman that can hold his heart but he has to prove to our heroine, she is everything he has ever wanted and more. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include many of the Walker Security team members we have met in previous story lines: Savage, Adam.Parker, and Blake Walker.

LUKE’S REVENGE is a story of power and control, greed and obsession, betrayal and vengeance, forgiveness and family, second chances and love. The premise is dramatic, intriguing and engaging; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are charismatic and dynamic.

You’re my everything, Ana. You know that, right? I cannot lose you again.”I’d tell him I feel the same. I’d tell him how much I need him and how thankful I am that he’s here now, but I never get the chance. His mouth slants over my mouth. And then he’s kissing me again, and it’s not the tentative, trying-to-hold-back kiss he’d offered me downstairs. No, this kiss is different. It’s possessive, greedy even, a fierce addictive demand of his tongue, that is as seductive as it is impossible to resist. This is what I need. He is what I need right now.

I lean into him, press to my toes, and reach for any and every part of him I can manage to touch. Touching him is as addictive as the kiss and I can’t get enough of his sinewy muscle beneath my hands. I want him naked, but somehow that feels too complicated, and everything is just so damn complicated right now. I slide my hand down the front of his jeans and press my palm to the thick bulge of his erection against his zipper.

A low, gruff sound escapes his lips and he lifts me and carries me toward the bathroom, which I suspect is because the lock on the door of the bedroom is broken and we are about to be naked and not soon enough. He sets me down, his hands sliding under my shirt, his fingers roughly teasing my nipples. I moan against the sensation, and his mouth on my mouth, drinking in the sound, drinking in me. I’ve had moments in my time with Luke when I’ve been desperate for him, but this time is different. This time it feels like everything we are together is on the line and I don’t know why. He is here. I am here. We both want to be here.

Maybe it’s the realization that we were never in control. We never chose to travel the path that divided us. Everyone else did, and one of those people is tied up downstairs. Someone I should be happy to see, but for reasons I can’t explain, that reach deeper than his lies, that’s not what I feel. I don’t know what I feel.

And I’m thinking too much.

Luke handles that though. God does he. He drags my shirt over my head, and my bra is gone in seconds. Already he’s leaning in, suckling my nipples, sending waves of pleasure through me. My fingers dive into his hair, twisting, and not gently. His mouth is not gentle either. He suckles me to the point of pain that is an absolute pleasure. How does he know exactly what to do? How does he get everything so right? My sex clenches, and I am so wet, it’s almost embarrassing, an intense throb between my legs, where I need him nice and hard and buried deep right now. Because that’s what I want. Him inside me. Me lost in every thrust and pump of his body. Lost in him. Connected to him, so much so that there is room for nothing but him. I reach for his pants again, impatient for him, God, I need him. He cups my face and tilts my gaze to his. “Say it, Ana.”
“Which part? I love you or please fuck me?”

His eyes glow with male satisfaction, which I love, as much as I do him. Because that look in his eyes means he’s the kind of animal I need right now. “Fuck me, please,” I repeat.

He kisses me, biting my lips, pinching my nipples and it’s a brutal, sweet perfection. I’m panting when his lips part mine, and he turns me to face the sink forcing me to catch my hands on the counter. I’d complain about not being able to touch him, but he’s touching me, and that makes up for it. His eyes meet mine in the mirror, and he watches me as he plays with my hard, puckered nipples, my teeth worrying my lip, eyes fluttering. But even when they shut, I can feel his hot, hungry stare, feel his lust and desire.

Happy Death Day (Lilah Love 7) by Lisa Renee Jones-review tour

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 26, 2022

Lilah is back home after two weeks away from the big, bad beast that is New York City, and with Kane by her side. The minute the chopper touches down, her phone rings. It’s a local medical examiner who has been stalking her online, but then, she soon learns, so is half the city.

Seems an online forum has popped up to follow Lilah, her serial killer mentor, and her drug lord husband. Call Lilah irritated as Kane is no drug lord, despite the cartel’s wishes that he follow in his father’s footsteps, her mentor is dead, and no one knows but those who buried the body. She needs the attention to go away, and now.

The worst part, or maybe it’s the best is there’s yet another serial killer on the loose who’s mimicking horror movie killers. Now Lilah has someone to take her anger out on, and arrest, not kill, because good girls don’t kill. But then, who said Lilah was a good girl?

Happy Death Day is book seven in the Lilah Love series.

•••••••

REVIEW:HAPPY DEATH DAY is the seventh instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary adult LILAH LOVE romantic suspense series focusing on FBI Agent Lilah Love.

Told from first person perspective (Lilah Love) HAPPY DEATH DAY follows independent and feisty FBI Agent Lilah Love on her return from a two week honeymoon with her husband and businessman /Cartel heir Kane Mendez, a return that sees Lilah investigating a potential serial killer who may or may not have connections to our story line heroine. Four dead bodies, apparently all victims of a possible HMC (Horror Movie Copycat), and several with a connection to a small coffee shop our heroine loves to frequent. As Lilah and her ‘team’ start their investigation, Lilah’s father’s run for governor pulls Kane, Lilah and her brother Andrew into a political fight with damning ramifications, a fight where the Love dysfunctional family dynamics is anything but loving and kind. As the race for Governor becomes dangerous and dark, Lilah eyes the characters put into play, wondering who is really in charge.

Meanwhile, Kane begins to hint that Lilah’s boss and FBI Director Murphy isn’t all who he appears to be forcing Lilah to reconsider to whom she professes her allegiance and trust. With the help of her cousin Lucas, and an IT whiz known as Tic Tac, Lilah begins to unearth a trail of questionable connections, connections that may be targeting our story line couple.

The secondary and supporting characters include Lilah’s bodyguard Jay, NYPD Chief Houston, FBI Directory Murphy ; Lilah’s brother Andrew, their father Grant Love; and Society member Ted Pocher, whose group is grooming the candidates for higher office. We are introduced to forensics tech Jack Cox.

HAPPY DEATH DAY is a story of betrayal and vengeance, murder and mystery, power and control, love and trust. Kane Mendez refuses to accept that Lilah is no longer the ultimate target, and Lilah knows that even family, blood or otherwise, cannot be trusted when it comes to winner takes all. The fast paced premise is intriguing, and suspenseful; the characters are energetic, charismatic and captivating. HAPPY DEATH DAY ends on a cliffhanger -you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 21, 2022

She loved him. He betrayed her. Nothing is what it seems.

One touch can change everything though, and it did. The minute he showed back up in her life, all deals were off. He touched her and she melted. He promised her everything, and she wanted everything. The question is: is he her salvation or her destruction? Love. Hate. Passion. Danger. It’s about to get hot in here…

REVIEW:LUKE’S TOUCH is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult LUCIFER’S erotic, romantic suspense trilogy, set in the author’s Walker Security World. LUKE’S TOUCH is the continuing story of Walker Security specialist and pilot Luke ‘Lucifer’ Remington, and FBI Agent Ana Banks. LUKE’S TOUCH should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of LUKE’S SIN aka LUCIFER’S SIN.

SOME BACKGROUND: Six years earlier Luke Remington met and fell in love with FBI Agent Ana Banks but life, death, betrayal and vengeance pushed Luke out of Ana’s life, and in the two years since they have been apart, Ana struggles to accept what happened and why. When Luke gets word that he and Ana, as well as several members of his original team are part of a hit list, Luke and the team from Walker Security go in search of the woman he loves, only discover betrayal at the highest level.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luke and Ana) LUKE’S TOUCH follows Luke and Ana on the run. Another member of Luke’s original team has gone missing and is presume dead, and Luke’s need to protect Ana becomes his first priority but all is not well when secrets begin to reveal betrayal at every level including betrayal by the people Ana thought she had loved. Clues take Ana and Luke on a cross country journey, a journey that comes full circle when the past comes back to life, threatening our story line couple. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Ana and Luke, as our couple, along with Walker Security, try to stay one step ahead of the people in control.

The relationship between Ana and Luke struggles in the face of past heart break and lies. Luke has never stopped loving the woman who has stolen his heart but Ana battles with the knowledge that betrayal, death and secrets follow our hero, in his wake. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate with the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Several members of the Walker Security Team return including Savage and Adam, as Blake Walker (via phone),Luke’s former teammate Parker, and Ana’s boss Mike.

LUKE’S TOUCH follows the search for the truth; the search for a killer, and the realization that heart break and betrayal are but the tip of the proverbial ice-berg. The fast paced premise is enthralling and exciting; the romance is provocative and steamy; the characters are broken but struggling to heal. LUKE’S TOUCH ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned

“What do you want, Ana?”

Her lips press together. “Not to be protected. And too much, apparently. We’ve been in one place too long. We need to go. Do you understand?”

I want to know what “too much” means, but damn it, she’s not wrong. We can’t hang out on the street, not if we want to live through the night. “We’re not done with this conversation.”

“You might not be, but I am.” She tries to step out of my grip.

I hold her to me, cup her face, and kiss her hard and fast. “I’m not. I’m not done with anything to do with you. Not now and not ever.”

“Okay, that statement contradicts the past two years and makes me angry.” She tries to knee me, and I catch her leg. Undeterred, she adds, “And I’m not done with this conversation either.”

My lips curving with how easily I drew her into battle, how easily I’ve always drawn her into battle. It feels like us and I do fucking love us. I want to push her harder. I want to kiss her harder. Instead, I release her and for just a beat we stare at each other, the air ignited with conflict. She turns on her heels and starts walking. I let her go, but not too far. I fall into step beside her. Not behind her. Not in front of her. Beside her, where I forgot to stand.

I won’t forget again.

As for her version of too much, there’s no such thing, not where Ana is concerned.

If she wants to test me on that, I’m along for the ride.

If she wants to test me on that while naked, even better.

As one of the newest members of Walker Security, Lucifer lives up to his name. He’s a man with demons that run deep and dark. A man with secrets. A man betrayed by a woman, and that betrayal has shaped every part of his life moving forward.

He lives on the edge with fast cars, faster women, and some might say a death wish. That is until he crossed paths with Walker Security and one of their own pulled him from the bowels of his self-created hell.

But his own personal devil is about to show herself again. That woman from his past is back, and nothing is as it seems.

REVIEW:LUCIFER’S SIN is the first instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult LUCIFER’S erotic, romantic suspense trilogy-a part of the author’s WALKER SECURITY series. This is Walker Security specialist Luke ‘Lucifer’ Remington, and FBI Agent Ana Banks’ story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucifer and Ana) using present day and memories from the past, LUCIFER’S SIN follows in the wake of the murder of a former member of Luke Remington’s special forces team. Six years earlier Luke Remington met and fell in love with FBI Agent Ana Banks but life, death, betrayal and vengeance pushed Luke out of Ana’s life, and in the two years since they have been apart, Ana struggles to accept what happened and why. When Luke gets word that he and Ana, as well as several members of his original team are part of a hit list, Luke and the team from Walker Security go in search of the woman he loves. Enter Ana Banks, a woman who battles between head and heart knowing the man that she once loved is the man that betrayed her heart and soul. As Luke and Ana go on the hunt for the truth, the team begins to suspect a mole in the Agency, someone close to our story line heroine. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Lucifer and Ana, and the fall-out as Lucifer and Ana are targeted, along with the members of the Walker Security Team.

Two years earlier greed was the impetus behind betrayal and murder, and Lucifer Remington was caught in the middle. His team duped and fooled by one of their own, Luke had no choice but to take down the man responsible. Fast forward to present day, Lucifer and several members of his original team, find themselves the target of an unknown source, a source that is also targeting the woman Lucifer loves. Ana Banks struggles to forgive the man that destroyed her life but everyone Ana’s loves is dead or dying, and our heroine is next on the list of for sins of the past.

The relationship between Ana and Lucifer is one of second chances; a relationship destroyed by the betrayal of someone close, a personal betrayal that forced Ana to push Lucifer out of her life. Luke aka Lucifer Remington never stopped loving our story line heroine but a series of long buried lies, and heart breaking secrets were met with denial and the ultimate betrayal. Their rekindling romance is passionate and intense but Luke Remington struggles to forgive our heroine for sins of the past.

We are reintroduced to several members of the Walker Security Team: Savage and Adam, as well as Blake Savage (via phone). The requisite evil has many faces.

LUCIFER’S SIN is a story of betrayal and vengeance; power and greed; family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive and energetic; the characters are charismatic, determined, and emotionally wounded. LUCIFER’S SINS ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

I open the door. Ana’s sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the door. The instant she sees me, her lips part, and her eyes travel my body before jerking back to my face.“You have to put a shirt on. You just—have to.”

My cock is pretty damn pleased with this reaction that says she wants me, but my brain is working overdrive, and for once, overpowering that plaything in my pants. “Why, sweetheart? You want to kiss the scar you gave me better? It’s too late for that. Or maybe, you want to lick me all over? You already did that. You don’t get to do it again. Not after trying to kill me.” I walk to the end of the desk where I left my gun, pick it up, and then lay down on the ground at the foot of the bed. My phone goes to the floor. The gun sits on my gut.

Ana moves to the end of the bed, and sits there, staring down at me. “What are you doing?”

I notice she avoids my name when she would normally do otherwise. I guess she just can’t figure out who I am anymore. Well, I know. And Lucifer fits. She knows, too. “I’m catching a few z’s, and protecting you from anyone that comes in the door. If it so much as jiggles, I’ll sit up and shoot.”

“It’s been a hellish night and morning. Lay on the bed. You can have the side closest to the door. Please.”

I glance up at her. “Sweetheart, if I get in that bed with you, I’ll have you naked in about thirty seconds, and while we’ll both enjoy that, you’ll just hate me for it after. Not to mention we won’t get any sleep.”

“I could say a lot of things to that response, but I probably shouldn’t. We’ll put pillows between us.”

“If you think a pillow will stop me from getting naked with you, you might have been right when you said you never really knew me, Ana. That was right before you shot me, right? I told you. I want to fuck you. I don’t want to sleep next to you.”

She buries her face in her hands and groans a frustrating sound and then glowers at me, all sexy and way too damn hot for my own good. “Fine, Lucifer. Sleep on the damn floor. Just do what you want.” She stands up and walks to the side of the bed before climbing on top.

She tosses a pillow down on top of me. I grab it and stick it under my head. “For the record, me down here and you up there is not what I want. It was never what I wanted, Ana. It’s just who we are now.”

“Yeah,” she says softly. “I know. “

That’s all she says and I want more. But then, I’ve always wanted more when it comes to Ana. And more was never enough.

When I Say Yes (Necklace Trilogy 3) by Lisa Renee Jones-Review & Excerpt Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play / Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 25, 2022.

I believe that there is one person in this world that can both break us and make us whole. One person who can love us more than life can hurt us. With this comes deep, intense passion, and a burning connection. But in turn, that person can destroy us, cut us, make us bleed in ways no other ever could. They have power over us.

For me, that one person is Dash Black.

He walked into my life in a rush of sunshine, in the darkness of heartache and uncertainty. We were broken apart, and whole together. He healed me. I believed I did the same for him. Until the past became the present, and every moment of suffering in his life consumed him. Instead of seeking refuge in me, he pushed me away. As the famous quote from an unknown author says, “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours; if it doesn’t, it never was.”

I’ve set Dash Black free. Now, I wait.

When I Say Yes is the third and final book in the Necklace Trilogy.

•••••••

REVIEW: WHEN I SAY YES is the third and final instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult NECKLACE erotic, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on former FBI agent turned author Dash Black, and former editor turned museum acquisition/ cataloguer Allison ‘Allie’ Wright. WHEN I SAY YES should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two BECAUSE I CAN. There is a slight cross over with the author’s INSIDE OUT and WALKER SECURITY series.

SOME BACKGROUND: Allison Wright’s arrival at Hawk Legal finds our heroine facing reclusive billionaire Tyler Hawk, who offers Allie a temporary position organizing an upcoming charity auction, a position recently held by another Allison but the delivery of a priceless necklace pushes Allie to begin an investigation into the woman no one can find, the woman who was the intended recipient of the diamond necklace. As our heroine enters into her three month position, she will meet charismatic author Dash Black, the man with whom Allie will fall in love but all is not well between Dash and Tyler, and Allie becomes a pawn in a game of one-upmanship between the two men trying to control her life.

Told from first person perspective (Allie) WHEN I SAY YES continues to follow the building romance and relationship between author Dash Black, and former editor turned museum cataloguer Allison ‘Allie’ Wright but Dash’s demons continue to ride him hard, and pushing Allie out of his life fuels our heroine to step in when no once else is able. Their quick rekindling relationship pulls together two people whose lives have become intertwined with a missing woman who may or may not be alive, an abusive agent and ex, two absentee fathers, and the possibility that the journals left behind by the original Allison, reveal more than anyone could have imagined. As Allie and Dash move towards the next phase of their own lives, grief and loss, death and destruction lay ahead on the path going forward.

WHEN I SAY YES is a story of power and control, dysfunctional family and relationships, betrayal and revenge, acceptance and love. The series premise read in the same vein as the author’s INSIDE OUT TRILOGY including a missing woman, her journals, and a man pining for the woman who may never return. The premise is captivating, provocative and emotional but the conflict resolution is quick and abrupt ; the romance is seductive and passionate;the characters are charismatic, powerful and energetic-here’s hoping the author has plans for Dash’s sister Bella, and billionaire Tyler Hawk.

Dash carries me to the bedroom and lowers me to my feet at the end of the mattress. I reach for him, and I can feel his need to feel my hands on his body, but instead of caving to that burn, he catches my wrists again. “Not until I say you can touch me.”Defiance rips through my body and my chin tilts. “And if I touch you anyway?”

“Then you won’t feel my hand on your ass, baby. Or anywhere else.” He drags me closer, aligning our bodies. “You know what I want. Tell me. What do I want, Allie?”

“Control,” I say without hesitation, but there’s a hint of vulnerability in my voice that I cannot tame. Just as I know I will never tame Dash. And the thing is—I don’t want to. In fact, I want the opposite. I want him unleashed. I want him wild and free.

“Are you going to give it to me?” he presses. “Can you trust me that much, Allie?”

Trust.

That’s the monster that torments each of us in our own minds and yet, we want it from each other, we demand it be given blindly, irrationally perhaps, but it doesn’t seem to matter. So much about how Dash and I approach each other is irrational and yet somehow, we make sense. And so I say, “I already do.”

He turns me to face the bed, one hand cupping the side of my neck under my hair, the other on my waist, his hard body at my back. Dash leans in close and says, “I can be demanding, Allie.”

My mind flashes to the night of our fight back in Nashville, when my hands had been pressed to the front door of our apartment, his hand on my throat, him behind me, thrusting into me. “I know,” I whisper, my skin flushing with the memory and because it’s the truth, now I dare add, “I like it.”

“Do you?” he challenges.

“Beyond reason,” I whisper.

His fingers flex on my neck, seconds ticking by before he replies with, “I used to think I wanted to scare you off, Allie.”

“And now?”

“Now, I pray I can’t.” His teeth scrape my shoulder, rasping roughly.

I suck in a breath at the rough, erotic nip that borders on a bite. He cups my jaw and drags my head back to his shoulder, just enough to angle my mouth to his and lower his to mine. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t try,” he adds. “Nice guys are gentle, Allie. You need to know that I’m not a nice guy.”

“If I’d wanted nice, I would have walked away before we ever started calling me cupcake which was almost the moment I met you, Dash.”

It’s a joke about the nickname I’ve earned with him, but he doesn’t laugh or smile. He brushes his lips over my lips. “You taste like you don’t know what you’re asking for.”

“And you taste like you talk too much, Dash Black.”

He lingers there a moment, his breath rushing over my lips with a promise of a kiss that doesn’t come. Instead, he says, “No more talking. Knees on the mattress, baby.”

But where will that lead her? To him? Or someplace else?

••••••••

REVIEW: BECAUSE I CAN is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult NECKLACE erotic, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on former FBI agent turned author Dash Black, and former editor turned museum cataloguer Allison ‘Allie’ Wright. BECAUSE I CAN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliffhanger of books one WHAT IF I NEVER. There is a slight cross over with the author’s INSIDE OUT series.

SOME BACKGROUND: Allison Wright’s arrival at Hawk Legal finds our heroine facing reclusive billionaire Tyler Hawk, who offers Allie a temporary position organizing an upcoming charity auction, a position recently held by another Allison but the delivery of a priceless necklace pushes Allie to begin an investigation into the woman no one can find, the woman who was the intended recipient of the diamond necklace. As our heroine enters into her three month position, she will meet charismatic author Dash Black, the man with whom Allie will fall in love but all is not well between Dash and Tyler, and Allie becomes a pawn in a game of one-upmanship between the two men trying to control her life.

Told from first person perspective (Allie) BECAUSE I CAN picks up immediately after the events of book one wherein someone has broken into Allie’s temporary apartment, an apartment currently owned by Tyler Hawk. In an ongoing effort to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love, former FBI agent turned author Dash Black pushes Allie to move into his place, where he can better protect our story line heroine but Allie isn’t one to jump at commands, and finds herself focused on running when Dash begins to push too hard. As Dash prepares for a meet and greet in New York, Allie discovers the other Allison’s journal, a journal that creates more questions than answers. What ensues is the continuing romance and relationship between Dash and Allie, and the potential fall-out as both of their pasts collide, forcing Dash to push Allie out of his life.

BECAUSE I CAN continues to focus on the building romance and relationship between Dash and Allison Wright, Allison’s employment with Riptide vs Hawk Legal, and the search for the truth into the whereabouts of the original Allison W. As Dash’s past resurfaces with the intent to make trouble, Allie’s past intends to make our heroine pay for sins of the father. The fast paced premise is intriguing, captivating and provocative; the romance is edgy and intense; the characters are lively, spirited, powerful and flawed. BECAUSE I CAN ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

There is s a familiar feel and presentation to the series. For fans of Lisa Renee Jones, the NECKLACE TRILOGY is similar in premise and comparable to the author’s INSIDE OUT SERIES.

“You’re always one push from being out the door. We just did that. Are we going to do it again?”“You’re pushing now,” I say. “That’s the point. You know you’re pushing me. Is that what you want? Because we both know whatever this is, doesn’t fit into your rule book for women.”

“The rule book was gone the minute I met you, Allie. And damn straight I’m pushing you, but not away. To be safe.”

“It feels like more.”

“Because you want it to.”

“Because it is,” I insist.

“No. You’re looking for a reason to run.”

“Oh my God, stop saying that to me, Dash. Because I’m angry at you does not mean I’m going to run or stop lo—” I catch myself before I confess way too much, before I confess my love for him. What am I doing? I try to deflect from my slip up. “Stop saying that to me.”

He reaches around me and opens the door. Before I know his intent, we’re inside the tiny bathroom meant for one, and he’s locking the door.

“We can’t be in here, Dash,” I whisper urgently. “Adrianna will be looking for us.”

“And yet, we are,” he says, his fingers tangling in my hair, tilting my gaze to his as he says, “I’m just making sure you know there’s nowhere to run. I’ll follow. That’s what you’ve done to me, Allie. That’s how much you’ve taken from me.”

“Taken?” I demand. “That’s what I’m doing?”

“Yeah, baby, but it had to be that way. And I like it. Say what you were going to say. You’re not going to stop what?”

“Wanting you.”

His lips curve, his breath a warm tease on my lips. “Well just know this, Allie, I won’t stop wanting you either.”

My God, did we just tell each other we love each other in a public bathroom? “Dash,” I whisper. “Dash, what are we doing?”

“This,” he says, and his mouth closes down on mine again. And just like that, he’s kissing me with such intensity, such passion, I can only moan. I have a vague moment when I realize this is still about control. His control, not my control. The problem is I like it when he’s in control. I like his kisses. I like the way his hands feel on my body and when my skirt is at my waist, and only when my skirt is at my waist, do I jolt back to reality. I catch his wrists. “We can’t.”

“Until we do,” he says, cupping my face, kissing me again, Lord help me, his hand is between my legs, pressing under the silk of my panties.
