Bad Deeds: A Dirty Money Novel by Lisa Renee Jones Release Date: August 8th, 2017 Genre: Contemporary Romance

Would you bleed for the one you love?

To save his family empire from the grip of the drug cartel, Shane is pushed to the edge of darkness, forced to make choices he might never make. His father is dying. His brother is desperate to rule the empire and this means war and all gloves are off. His brother only thought he knew what dirty meant. Shane is about to give it new meaning. There is another war brewing though, and that one, is inside him, his battle between right and wrong, light and dark, and in the heat of the night, it is Emily he turns to for escape. Driving her to new limits, pushing her to accept a part of him that even he cannot.

In every one of Shane's seductive demands, Emily can taste and feel, his torment, his struggle to save his family and not lose himself. But he is losing himself, and that is a problem just as dangerous as her secret, that still lurk in the shadows, a threat to the Brandon Family waiting to erupt. No matter where she and Shane have traveled, or will travel in the future, she can't just sit back and watch him become everything he hates, everything he never wanted to become, everything she tried to save him from when she tried to run. It could be their undoing, the end. His end.

This is war, blood will spill, and someone in the heart of the Brandon family will not survive....

Excerpt:

“What is in your head right now?” His eyes heat, darken. “You. Always.” He inches back and looks at me. “You’re mine. Mine to protect.” His voice is low, fierce, and he grips my panties and yanks them away. “Mine to fuck.” I gasp and grab his shoulders. “Shane.” His answer is to wrap his arm around my waist, pull me close, his cheek against mine, his fingers pressing into the V of my body. “Wet, just the way I like you,” he says, pressing two fingers inside me. “Wet for me. And too fucking perfect for my sanity sometimes.” “That doesn’t sound like a compliment,” I pant out, grabbing the lapel to his suit as a sweet ache begins to build in my sex as his thumb strokes my clit. “And no one else,” he murmurs, nipping my earlobe, “will ever touch you like this.” His fingers caress deeper inside me. “No one,” he adds, “will ever make you say their name like I want you to say mine right now. Say it.” “Shane,” I whisper, and not because he wants me to, but rather because it’s there on my lips, the way I wish his tongue was on my lips now. “Shane, I—” Seeming to know what I need, he cups my head and kisses me, long, slow, sensual strokes of his tongue that somehow make every touch of his fingers more intense. “Come for me,” he murmurs, and this time when he kisses me, I start climbing that wall to release, and I’m there at the top in an instant. I stiffen while his fingers and tongue tease, please, and then I jerk, I’m over it, tumbling in an instant into shudders and shakes. Shane’s lips lift from mine as he breathes with me. His fingers slow as he eases me through the waves until I collapse against his chest. He tangles his fingers in my hair and drags my mouth back to his. “And no one but me will ever make you come like that again,” he declares, the waves of his emotions beating down any embarrassment I might feel over having had an orgasm on his father’s desk. “No one has ever made me feel what you make me feel, Shane.”

MY REVIEW:

3.75-4 Stars

****

This was another good installment to this sexy, suspenseful series! This is the continuation of Shane and Emily's story. Shane is still trying to save his family business while dealing with some very bad guys. His father and brother are still wild cards and he doesn't know who to trust. Emily is trying to support him and help him in his investigations, while wanting to keep herself and Shane safe. As the danger ramps up, the suspense will keep you guessing. Through it all, the couple grow stronger in their love and are able to withstand the threats that are bearing down on them.

This book started out a little slow. I felt like there was a lot of suspense and drama going on, but not as much romance or relationship development. It started to feel like the story was drug out for drama's sake. But once the story started to pick up, the mystery started to resolve itself nicely. I liked the second half of the book better than the first. I felt like the book could have been edited down some to make the pacing flow better. Also, there is a doozie of a cliffhanger. But overall, I did enjoy it. I loved Shane and Emily together. They are really a great couple and are getting stronger together in every book. Their love is obvious and I can't wait for the final book in the series so they can get their HEA. Overall, I really like the way the story seems to be heading in it's conclusion and I can't wait to see how it all ends!
