Romance

Lauren Reynolds, assistant D.A., with a state senator father finds she has a really big problem, She is being stalked by a mysterious character. She finds herself being watched by someone else, hired by her father, and she has been having a number of HOT SECRETS concerning this man... the delicious type. Royce Walker, former F.B.I. agent and now owner of a private security firm with his brothers, has always had the hots for Assistant D.A. Lauren Reynolds but had never played on those desires due to family connections. Now he can't just stand by while she is in danger but the passion they find they share could just be the death of them both. HOT SECRETS is a very hot, romantic suspense story that you will not be able to put down until you get to the last word. Author Lisa Renee Jones has a definite voice when it comes to this genre and she makes the temperature rise higher and higher with each romantic encounter. I also thought the plot was well planned because I can usually figure out who the bad guy is but it took me awhile to figure it out, but still enjoyed the ride to get there. The supporting characters are a fascinating blend that adds to the storyline and you can see how they fit in as friends and of course family. Fantastic book and one I will keep in my TBR shelf while I look for more from Ms. Jones.

SUMMARY

The Walker Brothers... Tall, dark, and deadly, these three brothers run Walker security. Each brother is unique in his methods and skills, but all share key similarities. They are passionate about those they love, relentless when fighting for a cause they believe in, and all believe that no case is too hard, no danger too dark. Dedication is what they deliver, results are their reward. Book 1 HOT SECRETS: Royce Walker, a former FBI Agent, who's opened a private security firm with his brothers, has always had the hots for the prim, proper Assistant District Attorney, but considered her hand's off because of a family connection. However, when danger threatens Lauren, he isn't willing to stand by and watch her get hurt. Now the passion for survival is only rivaled by the passion burning between them. And that passion, might just be the death of them both.

Excerpt

He scooted her off his lap and settled down on the floor in front of her, his hands sliding up Lauren's calves, to her knees that she'd primly pressed together. The heady scent of her perfume, her home, her very feminine presence, seeped into his senses. She stared down at him, a soft 'doe in headlights' look on her face. "Royce?" His name was a soft plea on her lips, filled with uncertainty. He'd confused her, sent her mixed messages, in his effort to do what was right. He felt like a wolf, a hungry wolf who wanted to devour this woman, and there was no way that didn't show in his eyes, no way the energy, the need he felt for her, didn't radiate off of him. "You're beautiful," he said, softly, calmly, when the rage of hormones inside him was anything but. He kissed her knees, one and then the other, reaffirming his decision to let her pleasure be his tonight. "And I'm going to show you how much I mean that." She swallowed hard, her delicate, kissable throat bobbing with the action. "I'm not sure I know what that means." He brushed her dress up her thighs. "You will," he promised and kissed her delicate little knee again. She laughed - a nervously feminine sound. "I'm not sure I know what that means either." "You don't need to know what it means," he said, his fingers tracing the lace of her thigh high pantyhose, the sexy lingerie choice confirming what he'd always suspected. Lauren might be prim and proper on the outside, but there was a sensual woman beneath the exterior who wanted to come out and play - and he wanted to be the man who she played with. He wanted to be that man tonight, but no matter how tempting that might be, tonight wasn't the night. But he'd be damned if he'd allow her to doubt his desire for her, his absolute, complete attraction to her. "You just need to know how it feels." His hands slipped inside her thighs, easing her legs apart, his lips trailing a path up one of them.
