ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 23, 2019
He’s the bastard of the empire, a savant, a genius, and a self-made success. He left it all behind, but he came back for her.
Their passion is a flame that ignites more than their bond. It ignites secrets, lies, and a puzzle that once solved, will shake them to the core.
You know one deep, dark secret, but you do not yet know anywhere near everything.
NOTE: The Filthy Trilogy was originally intended to be a DUET but the author has added a third book for reader enjoyment and satisfaction.
••••••••••••••
REVIEW: THE PRINCESS is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult FILTHY TRILOGY erotic, romance series focusing on billionaire/Navy SEAL and second in command to Grayson Bennett, Eric Mitchell, and heiress Harper Evans. Eric was first introduced in the author’s DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL (Dirty Rich #4) but you do not have to have read the previous series to understand or follow the story. As per most of Lisa’s series, there is a slight cross-over with inclusion of some of the characters from the author’s Walker Security series including Blake Walker, Savage and Adam. THE PRINCESS should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately following the events of book one THE BASTARD.
SOME BACKGROUND: Six years earlier, Eric Mitchell, the bastard son of Kingston Motors CEO Jeff Kingston met his father’s new step-daughter Harper Evans, a woman Eric dubbed The Princess, but a woman that stirred something deep within our story line hero. A one-night stand followed by the realization of who and what Harper Evans represented further pushed Eric away from his birth right, as the spare to the heir of Kingston Motors. Fast forward to present day wherein Harper Evans is in desperate need of Eric’s help, help Eric isn’t willing to give without a price.
NOTE: The Filthy Trilogy was intended to be a duet but the author has decided that Eric and Harper’s story line requires further attention.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Harper and Eric) THE PRINCESS continues to focus on the building relationship between Eric Mitchell and Harper Evans, a relationship that is threatened from an outside source. An attack against Harper finds Eric upping the security around the woman with whom he is falling in love but in doing so finds himself in a vulnerable position for attack, as well. Not knowing who to trust, Eric and Harper must venture forth to New York, with the suspicion that everyone is suspect including family and friends. What ensues are Eric and Harper’s fight for their safety, as Eric struggles to stay one step-ahead of the person(s) trying to destroy their lives.
The relationship between Eric and Harper continues to evolve; an erotic romance wherein Erin battles demons from the past, ongoing rejection, and a fight to prove he is worthy of love. Harper struggles with her mother’s choices, choices that have affected our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The world building remains focused on the bitter relationship between Eric Mitchell, and the family that has rejected him most of his life. As the bastard son of billionaire businessman Jeff Kingston, Eric has battled father and son in an attempt to avenge the treatment of his mother, a woman who died too young, and alone.
THE PRINCESS is a story of fractured family dynamics, family dynamics that continue to spiral out of control. No one is safe; everyone is suspect as one by one, members of the Mitchell/Kingston family are targeted in a powerful game with an unknown opponent. Secrets are slowly revealed, secrets that will affect our story line couple. The character driven premise is intriguing, exciting and realistic; the characters are strong, colorful and dynamic; the romance is passionate, moving and provocative. THE PRINCESS ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Love.
I spoke that word to him, so hearing it on his lips shouldn’t send shockwaves through me, but somehow it does. It shouldn’t make my chest expand with fear that I didn’t feel moments before, but it does. I both want him to love me and fear the moment he does. With love comes real pain when he tells me to walk away and gives me a shove when he doesn’t really follow, because he decides the bastard and the princess can’t survive.
My walls erect. I need to protect myself. “What happened to fucking the princess and leaving her behind?”
“We just had this conversation. I’m not leaving you again.”
“And yet you told me to leave.”
“I did,” he says. “But I’m a bastard, remember? And not just any bastard. I’m the one who wants you too damn much now to do what’s right. You run. I’ll run faster. I’ll come for you.”
Heat rushes up my neck. “Fucking me is safe,” I whisper. “Fucking me is—”
“Fucking you is perfect,” he says. “And I will fuck you, Harper. Every way I can think of and every day, but right now, I’m going to show you more than the bastard. I’m going to make love to you.” His lips part mine, his tongue stroking deep, stroking long, exploring, and the demand I’d felt in him when he’d snapped is nowhere to be found. There is just this sultry, sexy, caress of his tongue that seduces me and tears down my walls.
I am his to do with as he pleases. I am his to please or otherwise. I think he really will break my heart. I think he knows it, too, but it’s too late to turn back. We’re on a path together that must be traveled, no matter where it leads.
