Poison Kisses Part One
by Lisa Renee Jones
Amanda Skye made me want her. She made me trust her. She made me love her. Then she betrayed me. And now, a madman brings us together again and before our battle with him is over, I will make sure that she never forgets my name: Seth Cage. The Fixer for The Brandon Family Empire, but to a covert CIA operation, I will always be The Assassin. And to Amanda, I will be the man who made her moan, sigh, and beg. And I will make her beg.
***Note -- Poison Kisses is part 1 of a 3 part serial: All three parts are super sexy with an alpha man who has met his match in a kickass female. There will be naked moments that may or may not include a gun, which may or may not be his gun. ****

This was a really good book! This was part 1 of Seth and Amanda's story. Seth is a former CIA agent, now working in private security and investigations for Shane Brandon (from the Dirty Money series). When he was in the CIA three years ago, he spent three months undercover with Amanda, another agent and scientist, posing as man and wife on a mission. Amanda is a poison specialist with the nickname Poison Princess, and Seth is a well known contract killer agent known as The Assassin. While the two were undercover, they fell in love and began a real relationship, but when the mission goes wrong, Amanda runs and disappears. Seth has spent the three years since searching for her to no avail, angry and bitter that Amanda could possibly have double-crossed him. Now, Seth has been contracted by the CIA to go to Amanda, who they have found, and get her to help them with a matter of national security, a terrorism threat to poison the public water source. When Seth and Amanda come face to face and are forced to go on the run together, they must face their past and decide whether they can trust each other. Or will one of them be forced to kill the other to keep themself and their country safe?
This is a sexy, suspenseful spy story. It was very Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The spy theme really suits Ms. Jones' writing. I loved the mysterious, unpredictable feel of the book. I really loved both Seth and Amanda. Neither of them know whether they can trust each other and both feel betrayed by each other in the past. Because of their history, Seth was pretty harsh and distrustful of Amanda at first. But he did start to see that things were not as they seemed. I didn't love that we only get Seth's POV, but we do get Amanda's POV later on in the trilogy. I still felt a connection to her even without her POV.
I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of all three parts of the Poison Kisses trilogy so I had the opportunity to read them back to back. I definitely recommend reading them that way. To me, this was one book split into 3 parts. I did not think the parts stood alone very well. Also they are short, so don't expect three full length books. If at all possible, I recommend reading the books back to back.
I love Ms. Jones' romantic suspense and this trilogy was one of her best. I was sucked in from the very beginning. I could not put the book down until I had read all three parts to Poison Kisses. I will definitely be adding it to my re-read list. I very much recommend this sexy, suspenseful trilogy and look forward to more from Ms. Jones in the future!
