ABOUT
A new sexy standalone from Lisa Renee Jones…
He is blond, tattooed, and dangerous. She's as beautiful as she is mysterious and could be his destruction…
Asher wasn't always a member of the elite Walker Security team, he was a billionaire's son, who rebelled against his father's controlling hand, and ended up in New York City's underground of drugs, rock n roll, and danger. But that is long behind him, and while his tattoos and long blond hair remain, he's now a chameleon, far more comfortable in a suit and tie than a leather jacket.
Or so he likes to tell himself.
But now Walker Security needs him back inside the underground club scene for a police case they're working. Women are dying, murdered, and the clock is ticking until another victim is claimed. When Asher is pulled back into this toxic world he meets Sierra, who is as beautiful as she is mysterious. A woman who calls to a darker side of him, long suppressed, unleashing it in what becomes wicked hot passion and obsession. But Sierra has a secret, one that leads her, and Asher, to a dangerous place, and game, with dangerous players, and the game is about life or death.

REVIEW
4 stars
****
This is a good romantic suspense book! This is Sierra and Asher's story. Sierra is on the run from her powerful, but criminal, husband who wants her dead. She is working in a bar when she meets Asher. He works for Walker security and is undercover, investigating a case on a serial killer who frequents the bar. Sparks fly between the couple, but Sierra doesn't feel she can give in to the attraction because she doesn't know if she can trust him. When the killer sets his sights on Sierra, Asher steps in to protect her. AS they get to know each other, Sierra lets Asher in and tells him about her past. He vows to protect her from both of the threats and they fall for each other in the process.
I liked Sierra and Asher. When they first met, Asher was all-in right away, ready to give up his "no relationship" rule immediately. I was a little put off by that fast movement and didn't feel the emotions I was expected to feel. But I did warm up to them as a couple pretty quickly. Asher was protective, sexy and pretty much perfect. Sierra was strong and brave. But she did bother me a bit with her wishy-washiness. Her internal thoughts would go from all-in with Asher to pushing him away for "his own good" really quickly. It was a bit repetitive in that respect and sometimes I felt like she talked in circles. I wanted her to quit trying to run away much quicker than she did. Once she let Asher in and decided to stay with him, I liked her much more. But, overall, I enjoyed this book. The writing was good. The story was interesting, suspenseful and sexy. I was happy to see Asher and Sierra happy together and getting the HEA they deserved. I definitely felt their connection. They were sexy and sweet together. Also, I liked the camaraderie and friendship between the Walker gang.
This book is a great addition to the Walker Security series! I even enjoyed it better than book one. I look forward to more from this series and Ms. Jones in the future!
EXCERPT
“You want more now, and yet you don’t want it enough to make it end. And I already don’t want it to end, Sierra.”
She leans into me, her head resting on my shoulder, emotion that isn’t pleasure radiating off of her and crashing into me. I cup her face and tilt her chin up, my thumb stroking her cheek. “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing. Everything. Can you kiss me again already?”
“Where, Sierra?”
“Where?”
“Where do you want me to kiss you? Tell me.”
“Everywhere.” She pushes to her toes, and her lips find mine, looking for an escape, trying to drive her demons away.
I want to demand her answer, make her tell me where she wants my mouth, but I feel her desperation, her need to escape whatever is in her head. And so, I press my lips to hers, I kiss her mouth, drinking her in, and I don’t taste him this time. I taste her. I taste us. I taste need and hunger and passion. “I want you naked,” I say, my hands sliding inside her jeans and panties. “In every possible way, Sierra.”
“I’m pretty sure I’m already there, and it’s terrifying.” She flattens her hand on my chest. “If you turn into an asshole, I swear—”
“You can punish me,” I promise, “and I’m still willing to offer suggestions.”
“If you turn into an asshole after I trusted you,” she says. “I won’t need suggestions, Mr. Ex-Navy SEAL who won’t be able to hide from my wrath.”
Fuck, I’m crazy about this woman. “Good thing I’m not going to turn into an asshole. I want you naked,” I repeat, and this time, I make it happen. I lower myself to one knee and take her jeans and panties with me. My arm wraps her waist and I lift her, dragging her clothing away, and setting her back down. My hands settle on her hips then and I look up at her. She stares down at me, the simmering look in her eyes all about arousal, submission. And I want that from her and not because it’s some sex game, of which I could play and play well.
I press my lips to her belly and just that easily she trembles, and it only makes me want more. Everything is more with her. I drag my mouth lower and lower...
