Allie and Dash's romance continues in BECAUSE I CAN, the second book in Lisa Renee Jones's Necklace Trilogy. When last we saw Allie, she was in the wine cellar, heard a noise and footsteps, and the lights go out. She hoped it was Dash but discovers it wasn't him, though he was on his way. Dash arrived, but the mystery still persists... who was in the house? And why?

Things seem to go a little smoother for Allie and Dash after that frightful event. She goes back to working with Tyler, but things are still tenuous after Tyler revealed something about Dash to Allie before, something Allie thought should have come from Dash... 

If you are a fan of Ms. Jones's books, you know that in a trilogy and lot happens and there are two cliffhangers readers must survive to get the HEA and solve the mystery of the missing Allison, where the necklace came from and why did she leave so abruptly. There is always something that comes out to throw a wrench into the budding, yet rocky, romance.

BECAUSE I CAN will have you on the edge of your seat and loving every minute of the pull and push the characters go through. There are a number of times that you will think I have this figured out then - Whoa! What just happened and why now?

I cannot wait for the finale because I want Dash to believe in himself enough to know he is worthy of Allie. And, of course, I want to know who sent the necklace that started Allie down this heart-racing, amazing road.
