Hard Rules Review...

Hard Rules release blitz

About Hard Rules:

Hard Rules Cover
Wall Street meets the Sons of Anarchy in Hard Rules, the smoldering, scorching first novel in the explosively sexy new Dirty Money series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones.

How bad do you want it? The only man within the Brandon empire with a moral compass, Shane Brandon is ready to take his family's business dealings legitimate. His reckless and ruthless brother, Derek wants to keep Brandon Enterprises cemented in lies, deceit, and corruption. But the harder Shane fights to pull the company back into the light, the darker he has to become. Then he meets Emily Stevens, a woman who not only stirs a voracious sexual need in him, but becomes the only thing anchoring him between good and evil.

Emily is consumed by Shane, pushed sexually in ways she never dreamed of, falling deeper into the all-encompassing passion that is this man. She trusts him. He trusts her, but therein lies the danger. Emily has a secret, the very thing that brought her to him in the first place, and that secret that could that destroy them both.

Elegant young man in tuxedo looking down while sitting on a stool, on grey studio background.

EARLY PRAISE:

"Angst-y, sexy contemporary romance with big emotional and financial stakes set against the backdrop of two dynamic families. Sure to leave readers desperate for the next installment."

-Kirkus Reviews

"High-octane romance set above the glittering lights of Denver is enhanced by the dominance of a powerful man and the cunning sweetness of a woman who isn't cowed or swayed by his wealth...a fascinating mystery and characters with distinct voices."

-Publishers Weekly


REVIEW:

What kind of ending is that?  I hate cliffhangers and boy does this one leave you hanging.  

Emily is on the run from her past when she meets Shane who is in the middle of his own war with his family.  Shane is trying to clean up his families company before the FBI shows up again and nobody is making it easy on him.  Can Emily keep her secrets from everybody?  Can Shane figure out what his family has been up to and save the company?

These characters are interesting to say the  least.  I do wish it would have given you even the slightest hint as to Emily's past.  The fact that you didn't see into Emily's past made it kind of hard for me to get into since I felt like I was missing half the story.  But besides that it was well written, with great character and a decent flow and pace.

However, with the issues I had between the cliffhanger and the unknown about Emily I would have to give this book:

A NOTE FROM LISA:

This series will have FOUR full-length books in it. The first four will be Emily and Shane's story and there will be a fifth fir a secondary character’s story (more information to come soon). I don't have covers or buy links for books 3 and 4, but I DO have a little information on book 2, DAMAGE CONTROL!!
I am SO excited for this series to come out, because it is so unlike my other series. I am hoping my readers love it just as much as I did when I was writing it! PLEASE be sure to sign up for my TEXT LIST (link below). That will be where/how I communicate when these titles, and others, are available for pre-order, on sale or when I have a big giveaway!



XOXO,
