REVIEW: WHEN HE’S WILD is the third and final instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult WALKER SECURITY: ADRIAN erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on former undercover FBI Agent and Walker Security specialist Adrian Mack, and ADA Priscilla Miller. WHEN HE’S WILD should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book two WHEN HE’S BAD. Several characters cross-over from the author’s other Walker Security series.
NOTE: If you have not read book the previous books in Adrian’s Trilogy, there may be spoilers in my review.
SOME BACKGROUND: In the weeks prior to the testifying against the Texas Kings biker club, a club in which he was undercover for close to two years, former undercover FBI Agent Adrian Mack comes out of hiding, and focuses on protecting ADA Priscilla Miller. Assistant District Attorney Priscilla Miller has been assigned the case against Nick Waters aka The King Devil but with the witnesses and people who will be testifying dying or disappearing, Adrian Mack is the remaining credible witness, a witness who is the target of more than one assassination attempt.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Adrian and Pri) WHEN HE’S WILD continues to follow Adrian and Pri as they struggle to stay one step ahead of Nick Waters, whose threats against our couple hit too close to home. Unable to trust family or friends, Pri Miller must quickly learn to trust our story line hero, a man who struggles with demons from his past. When information is revealed about the firm for which she works, Priscilla knows it is only a matter of time before everything spirals out of control. On the run with the team from Walker Security, our couple must come to terms with their issues of trust, and accept that each is willing to sacrifice to save the other.
The secondary and supporting characters are numerous and memorable: Blake Walker from Walker Security; Rick Savage (The Savage Trilogy); a well as Walker Security agents and former members of SEAL Team six- Lucas ‘Lucifer’ Remington, Adam, Jacob; Adrian’s brother Rafael; District Attorney Ed Melbourn, ADAs Cindy, Grace; Priscilla’s ex fiancé Logan Michaels; Nick Waters and his right-hand man Jose Deleon.
WHEN HE’S WILD is a fast paced, energetic and intriguing story line of betrayal and corruption, power and control, trust, acceptance, relationships and love. The premise is riveting and exciting; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are headstrong, determined and inspiring. Here’s hoping the author has plans for Adrian’s brother Rafael.

Any other time, that would be enough for me to pull back.
But not tonight. Tonight, I need her to understand everything is not roses and chocolates. It’s fucking, just to get a high that makes you forget the blood and pain, and that is not even a little bit gentle. That’s not lovemaking. That is grinding it out, roughing it up, until nothing exists but pleasure. And it’s about control. It’s about the world stripping it away and my need to claim it again, which is what I’m trying to do with Waters. But she isn’t listening. She has to listen.
I now know that means no turning back.
“You trust me?” I challenge softly.
Her lips part and she whispers, “You know I do.”
“Show me and I’ll tell you anything you want.”
“I’ve already shown you,” she says. “You know I trust you.”
She doesn’t understand but she will. “Show me again,” I say.
“All right,” she says. “What do you want right now, Adrian? Tell me.”
Her. I want her for the rest of my life, but even above that, I want her alive and happy. Her life over my life. That’s what this is about. The room darkens, the cloud just behind Pri outside the window is heavy with the promise of rain, ready to burst. An ominous reminder of how explosive and ready to burst our situation has become.
“Let’s see how much you really do trust me, Pri,” I say. “I’m in charge. You are not. You do as I say when I say it.”
Her rebellion is instant. “And if I don’t?”
“I’ll punish you,” I say, my voice absolute.
Her eyes go wide. “How?”
I leave that question unanswered. “Undress,” I order softly.
I step backward and sit on the couch that faces the window, leaving two oversized—and perhaps useful before this is over—chairs free. I’m now in a position to watch her, to dominate her, and there is a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes that tells me she’s aware of this fact. She’s a woman who prefers control. Giving it away will not be easy for her. Giving it away is a sign of ultimate trust.
Her eyes narrow on me and for a moment I see rebellion, but then there’s a softening of her expression that I know to be the first hints of submission.
