Damage Control is a complex story of a family driven my power and money with a bit of madness and mayhem thrown in, done in the best way possible. ~ White Hot Reads

Damage Control is a solid continuation of The Hard Money Series. The Brandon Family is complicated and layered and complex. They are driven by money and power. And Shane is determined to keep the business on the up and up. Emily is both a pawn in the game of the family, a lover to Shane and a Queen leading her own game. A Queen who wasn't planning on dealing with a four letter word sneaking up on her. L.O.V.E.

He is power. He is confidence. he is sex. <----- And that's why we fall in love with him. He is everything. I can only speak for myself, but Shane Brandon could melt my panties in 3,2,1...

This series is one of the things are never what they seem type. The reader (you know me) keeps turning the pages as quickly as possible and then the lightbulb comes on. WAITTTT! I don't want it to be over. So I stop and stare. Take a deep breath and start over. I must keep going because there is so much to read and find out.

I'm totally enamored with Shane, Emily and the bunch. I'm expecting the unexpected to keep coming from the author as the story progresses and I can't wait.

Hard Rules ended with a huge cliffhanger so I was very glad to get the chance to read Damage Control and see where this adventure with Shane and Emily was headed. Both find themselves in incredibly dangerous and stressful situations through no fault of their own. Their families have caused far too much havoc and Shane and Emily are dealing with it all while their budding personal relationship is becoming more intense. They’re both the kind of characters the reader finds themselves caring and rooting for.

Book one left us wondering if they would even continue to see each other and what exactly was going on. Damage Control picks up right where Hard Rules left off. It take a while for the two to iron out their relationship when Shane finds out Emily isn’t who she says she is. Her deception makes him very suspicious of her involvement with not just him but his father and brother. Is she just a mole planted in the Brandon offices? Who is she really? What is she doing?

Ultimately. this is a romance novel about Shane and Emily so with a bit of effort they are able to work their way back into an increasingly close relationship but there are so many other situations causing stresses on our lovers. They live in a world where everyone is hiding something and a lot of it is very dangerous.

Jones does a great job creating characters and situations I find engrossing. This book has a touching romance, nail biting suspense, too many secrets and lies to keep track of, and plenty of intrigue. The story progresses very well with many interwoven scenarios.

We’re left at the end of this book with a lot of very scary, unanswered questions. Will these two even live through the maelstroms they find themselves in and find their happily ever after? Will they finally get answers to the plethora of questions wreaking having on their lives?

I’m anxiously awaiting the next book, Bad Deeds, to find out.

And this is why Lisa Renee Jones is one of my favorite authors... she has this ability to grab hold of the reader from the very beginning and keeps them in her grip until the very end. She gives you a steady flow of steam that keeps you breathlessly turning the pages to see how the story unfolds. Remarkably well-written, Damage Control has a great mix of suspense, danger, murder, romance, betrayal, drama, explosive chemistry, over-whelming emotions, and unexpected twists. Secrets will be revealed and love is professed.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

Lisa Renee Jones has done it again! She has brought to life a story that is suspenseful and romantic, and one that is extremely hard to put down. Honestly, this book consumed me from beginning to end. And, while I hate the idea of having to wait for the next book in the series (this is on me NOT the author >> I am just impatient in general) I gladly will if she keeps pushing them out like this one.

Readers, make sure you read Hard Rules prior to this one as it is a continuation of that story. For those who are familiar with the series already make sure you have enough time to sit and read it all without interruption! You will get HOOKED.

There are so many amazing things I can say about this novel. But, instead of going into deep detail about the plot I will just say this. Secrets will come to light (you will love this if you read book 1), love and hate will intertwine, and readers will be gripping their books for the majority of it... Read it !

I received an advance copy from the publisher and author for my honest review. This is the second book in Lisa Renee Jones' new series Dirty Money and different from the inside/out series. There is drama, suspense, erotica, and much more. This book continues where the first one left off and it keeps you pulled into the story just like the first book. The main characters Emily and Shane both have chemistry from the first moment they met. Lisa doesn't disappoint us as her writing talent shows. Emily has secrets and we get to find out what they are in this book. I couldn't put down this book once I started reading it as per my usual with any of Lisa's books. It's that good! I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

You know the book is powerful and consuming when you go to bed and dream of the book. I was so immersed in Shane and Emily's world that I lost track of time. Lisa Renee Jones does it again providing the reader with a story that is powerful, breath taking, angst y, suspenseful, thoughtful, and provocative. I can't wait till the next installment because I can't get this story out of my mind.

Shane is trying to clean up his family business and Emily is trying to run from her family and protect Shane. Emily fights Shane to protect him from her past and his family. But he doesn't see it that way. His alpha male takes control and it is magnificent to watch it unfold.

But will Shane be able to protect the one he cares the most about? And if so, Who does he need to be protecting her from?

First off I have to say thank you to Lisa Renee Jones for the recap & the list of characters from Hard Rules, book one in the Dirty Money Series. I wish all the authors out there would do that. Especially when you have to wait for the next book in the series. It really brings the previous books back to life for me.

D*mn a cliffie! I was just at that sweet spot when things are really happening and I was thoroughly involved. Well I guess the good news is there will definitely be another book in this series. I feel badly for Shane. He really tries hard to clean up his Pharmaceutical Co. and he continues to run into danger. His father and brother are involved in that danger. I still question maybe his mother too. The only certain is that Emily Stevens is on his side or at least I think she is. She did have her own secret.

I enjoyed reading Damage Control. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I give it 4 Stars and I look forward to Dirty Money #3. Bad Deeds looks like it will be out in August of this year.
