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.
