This is the second book in the Dirty Money series. You do need to read the first book, Hard Rules, before starting this one. This series isn’t over, so it does end unfinished. It picks up right where Hard Rules ended.

I liked how the author recapped what happened in Hard Rules before starting this part.

At this time, I’m unsure if I will continue this series. I am curious, a little bit, about what will happen next, but, honestly, I was a little bored with this book.

Just like in the previous book, I found this dry and I couldn’t connect with the characters.

I’m all for hot and steamy scenes when they progress the story. I found myself skipping over these though. Most felt like filler to me.

We did learn Emily’s secrets.

Shane has a lot more going on in this book also.

It’s not a horrible read, I’m just not sure it’s for me.

I received a copy via Netgalley.
3 stars

4 Stars

Shane and Emily are back! Damage Control is full of secrets, lies, passion and love! This book starts right where the first one left off, getting the reader right back into their story. This really is a great series full of suspense and drama and I was totally consumed by their story. I love the drama without over the top angst.

Shane wants answers from Emily, he has enough family drama without Emily’s secrets in the mix. He’s convinced they are tied to his family and he’s not going to let her run. She tries, but Shane and the pull she feels towards him are too much. When she finally tells the truth he sets out to protect her and his family, even though Emily was trying to protect Shane. I love these two together, they want to save each other.

There are great twists and turns in this story and a lot of mystery about what is going to happen to the Brandon empire as well as Emily and the past she is running from. I love the suspense of it and trying to sort through everything. There is a lot that happens so be prepared for the ride. This book is part of a series though so don’t expect to get all the answers the happily ever after bow yet, we are still in the middle of everything. Even with the cliffhangers I really enjoy this series, each book giving me pieces of the puzzle and leave me wanting and needing MORE! I love the family drama, the passion and the possibilities for Shane and Emily! I’m already looking forward to the next book!

If you haven’t read Hard Rules, you definitely need to start there – this series must be read in order but it’s worth it, this is a must read series

Damage Control (Dirty Money #2) by Lisa Renee Jones
4 stars!!!

“The people closest to you can hurt you the most.”

Damage Control is the second book in the Dirty Money trilogy and I seriously cannot wait for book three, Dirty Deeds. Damage Control begins where Hard Rules left off with Shane and Emily’s relationship up in the air as the proverbial “who to trust” is constantly batted to and fro. Everyone in this book has their own agenda, some good and some bad but from what we know so far, the bad far outweighs the good and this one-man mission seems to look more and more unlikely.

Shane though is as resilient as they come and the word “loser” is not one that has any place in his vocabulary, whether it be in a court room or a board room. Shane’s family is as screwed up as they come with empire builders aplenty and not one of them seemingly on his side. This may be the toughest battle Shane has ever had to face and at the end of the day would blood need to be spilled to win?

Emily is the one constant that Shane has and although their relationship has been built on secrets and omissions it was only through want of protecting one and other. In this book though, Lisa Renee Jones opens these two up warts and all and with nothing standing between them will they be the formidable duo I think they can be? Emily’s can of worms opens up all the more problems for them both and now with many enemies, is this one battle too many?

“Aside from the alligator story, which was adorable, before that you told me exactly what you feel and want. The only games you play with me are in the bedroom and those I welcome.”

Gah, this was one of those books where I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Pleasantly surprised with one particular reveal and decidedly not with another. This family is seriously, seriously off the charts dysfunctional, if this is what money breeds why would you want it? When power and money are the be all and end all, sod the repercussions and the impact that it would have on family members, people that are your flesh and blood.

“His demons and mind are alive and well, two poison kisses, which could too easily turn our sweet hello into a brutal good-bye.”

With Lisa Renee Jones building this plot to its culmination she has definitely left the reader wanting more. This book was a perfect balance between the ever-impending threat of the circumstances that these two find themselves in along with the building of Emily and Shane’s relationship. Emily is the source of Shane’s strength but she is also his biggest weakness. Opening himself up to Emily emotionally and physically leaves him wide open to underhand tactics of his enemies. I can definitely see his Achilles heel being used as a weapon, even though her fate seems to have saved by the most unlikeliest of allies. However, nothing is at it seems in this book and I am just waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me once again.

“I don’t need you to be my hero.”
“Well, I’m going to be, whether you like it or not.”

As ever, Lisa Renee Jones delivered a book that was unputdownable, chock full of suspense and intrigue while perfectly balanced with romance and chemistry. This was the turning point for Emily and Shane and now it is them against the rest of them. Is two better than the rest? I need Dirty Deeds to find out!!

After reading Hard Rules I was looking forward to getting some answers in Damage Control. Sadly this book just didn't work in my favor. I'm having a hard time connecting with the main characters in the story. I also had that issue in Hard Rules. I was hoping for more a connection with the couple but I couldn't feel it and had to stop reading the story. This is no reflection on the author and her writing at all! I have enjoyed several of her stories in the past.

GREAT 2nd BOOK!!!!

I was sooo happy that Lisa told us all about what happened in the first book. I never remember anything once I get to the 2nd book in a series!!

This 2nd book was just as great as the first one.
It's all so mysterious and exciting and suspensy and erotic.
And again it all reminded me of Lisa's Amy Bensen series. It all felt like it was happening in the same time and place with similar people. Didn't bother me much, but I noticed it.

I love Shane and Emily. They just want what's best for everybody, but it's so hard to fight for their happily ever after with so much happening. In so many different places. All very confusing and so very suspensy! But I really enjoyed reading it. You can't stop, you just have to know what will happen next. And there's ALWAYS something happening. I think this series would be an amazing TV Show!!!

Lots of mystery and sexiness!
Perfect Romantic Suspense!

Can't wait to see what will happen in the next book because we're SO not done with #Shamily yet!!!!!☺☺☺


JANEANE
Oh what a tangled web we weave....

#Shamily is back!

Firstly, thank you Ms Jones for the run down at the beginning of the book, reminding us of what happened in Hard Rules - my terrible bookzheimer's really appreciated it!

We are dragged straight back into the Brandon world with Damage Control, and it is full throttle from the first word to the last.

So many twists and turns, you never know who or what to believe.

For each question we have answered, a few more seem to jump out at us, and Ms Jones keeps the hits coming thick and fast.

And through it all, Shane and Emily are trying to forge a relationship. But there is so much happening and so many twists and turns, you just wonder how they have time for each other (maybe they don't ever sleep!!)

Now I really need to know what happens next. Please don't make us wait too long Ms Jones!

A good book but there are issues I've found that make this book less enjoyable. See my review posted at Scandalicious Book Reviews.

5 Stars!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, secrets, pain, suspense, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first:
Hard Rules (Dirty Money #1)

This is more of Emily and Shane’s story. Secrets are reveals and trust is broken. But who breaks the trust his brother or Emily? Can he really trust anyone? People are not ho them seem. With danger around every corner you must pick a side. What happens when the one you want just wants to run from you? Can you convince them to stay or will you just have to run after them? When everyone wants to make the one you care for hurt how far will you be willing to go to protect and love the one you want?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.


I highly recommend this book.

WARNING! If you have not read Hard Rules yet, stop here! Book 1 must be read before Damage Control

“No one was ever supposed to matter to me like this”

Damage Control picks up immediately after the last sentence of Hard Rules as Shane is questioning Emily about her true identity. He knew that she had secrets, but Seth’s digging has opened up a whole lot of questions about just who she really is, and with the war for control of the Brandon family intensifying, he needs to know who he can trust now more than ever. She is determined to keep him safe from the demons hunting her down and tries to push him away long enough to disappear again, but he won’t allow it.

Even as she knows she is going to lose the battle when Shane puts his mind to something, Emily can’t help but contemplate what her life has become as she allows her secrets to be exposed to the one man she can’t seem to say no to. Those secrets become another burden and a hurdle to be overcome when Shane learns them, but he is startled to realize that he has willingly taken them on. Emily has become his port in the storm, and he needs her to help keep him from straying too far off the path of what is right. His instinct to protect her at all costs is high, but she won’t allow herself to become a distraction from the primary target: extricating his company’s business from the mess it is in and learning what his father’s end game is. She has learned to depend only on herself in the recent past, and she is far from weak with a good read on how to handle the machinations that seem to constantly surround Shane, making her a valuable asset and his heart’s weakness all at once.

Secrets. Lies. Trust. Love. Hate. Family. Sex.

That series of thoughts that runs through Emily’s mind is pretty much the summary of Damage Control in a nutshell. Chess pieces are being moved around the board by Shane, Derek, and their father just to name a few. The games are escalating, and for every potential solution to a problem that tries to present itself, Shane seems to find himself facing two new issues that crop up that make the previous ones pale by comparison. The Martina cartel gets bolder, Derek’s hatred of Shane grows to dangerous levels, and Shane steps closer to embracing his family member’s easy acceptance of the fact that sometimes you have to play dirty to win.

Shane is essentially a good man who is caught in a bad situation, and he is trying to reconcile how to retain his integrity with potentially becoming the person he fears he must be in order to bring an end to the threat to his company, his family and the woman he loves. But will it all be worth it in the end if he turns into exactly the type of person he is trying to stop? He knows he possesses a certain amount of darkness within him and it scares him to realize he may need to unleash it before all is said and done. He has never wanted a relationship in the past, but he can’t deny his feelings for Emily even as it means that he now has an exposed weakness and it makes her a target in the war against him. All of these conflicting emotions are swirling through his mind on a daily basis, and something is going to have to give soon. He finally gives in to the desire to share everything with Emily rather than holding back to protect her, and I have a feeling it may just save both of them in the end.

“You’re the future, not the past. You’re the good that I need while I get rid of the bad.”

Seth, his trusted friend and the man who handles the questionable duties that Shane should not be associated with, is working overtime in this book and I am sure he is going to be even busier in the upcoming Bad Deeds. The gauntlet has been thrown down between the brothers, and loyalties are still unclear when it comes to their mother and father. Their dirty little secrets continue to reveal themselves a little at a time, and it seems as though the scales may be tipping in Shane’s favor with his father at the end of this book. But that man is a master manipulator and a tangled web has been woven so I am half expecting for him to pull the rug out beneath Shane somehow before too long. After all we are only half way through the story arc, and I will definitely be anxiously waiting for book 3 to be released in August!

“The only enemy I can’t fight is the one I don’t know.”

Damage Control is the second book in the Dirty Money series and it just keeps getting better! This story brings you further into Shane and Emily’s individual histories and the lengths they are willing to go in order to protect each other. The most notable change in this book is the growth both Emily and Shane do. They go from an “I” to an “We” and they couldn’t be a more powerful team. The suspense keeps up and will keep you wondering who to truly trust and just what their intentions are.

“We can do everything together as far as I’m concerned. You know everything now, Emily. I wasn’t trying to shut you out. I was just trying to protect you.”

The start of the book picks up exactly where it left off with Shane confronting Emily on who she really is. Emily being the martyr is willing to protect Shane from the danger she is in by any means necessary even if it means sacrificing her chance at happiness after already giving up so much. Shane has to work hard to make sure Emily knows he is willing to go to the ends of the earth in order to keep her safe not only from her family but his too. The more they share their secrets the closer they become and they realize what they have is real and worth fighting for.

“I’m right here, and I’m not going anywhere, sweetheart, but you need to say the same thing. No more running. Not from me.”

This book will have you questioning things you thought you were sure about in the first one and have you starting to trust characters you thought you couldn’t. There is a lot of suspense in this book and I can only share so much without spoiling anything. What I can say is if you were on the fence after the first one this one will certainly win you over!!

The second book in a four-part series is always tricky. Damage Control, the second in Lisa Renee Jones' Dirty Money series, is no exception. Fans on the hook after reading Hard Rules want reassurance that the couple they took to their hearts is going to make it but the plotline has to maintain suspense and tension so that readers devour the story avidly and wait impatiently for Bad Deeds and End Game to arrive. A hard task, but Jones’s latest Dirty Money tale satisfies on every level.

Shane Brandon has fallen hard for Emily Stevens, but it turns out that she has as many secrets as him. Deeply hurt, Shane confronts her.

“No more games, Emily. Or whatever the hell your name is. Seth had you investigated, and nothing about who you are quite manages to add up.”

“Investigated,” she repeats. “Right. Because why in the world wouldn’t you investigate the woman in your bed?”

“Since the person you say you are doesn’t exist, clearly for good reason.”

“My secrets are mine. Mine to know. Mine to share. When I’m ready.”

“When exactly were you going to be ready?”

And that is the sixty-four thousand dollar question. Shane believes that their tumultuous, intense intimacy demands honesty but Emily tells him that her “secrets didn’t begin with you and they don’t end with you.” In Shane’s mind, being “damn naked” with all the doubts that are swirling in his mind takes him to a place of vulnerability that he doesn’t want. Or so he initially says. Emily says she kept secrets from him to protect him. That is so hard for Shane to accept—maybe the smartest thing he can do is “take her back upstairs, tie her to the bed, and fuck her until I get my answers.” Is that a good plan? What about his misgivings?

...our gazes collide, the connection a punch in my chest I don’t want her to have the power to deliver. But she does. I am vulnerable in ways I swore I never would be with a woman, or anyone for that matter, and I’d actually forgotten the lessons my family taught me years ago. What my mother warned me about with Emily. The people closest to you can hurt you the most.
In a move that will reverberate with lovers of Linda Howard’s feisty, intelligent, passionate heroines, Shane and Emily’s talk-it-all-out dinner devolves into where the hell is Emily when she doesn’t return from the bathroom. Emily is on the lam, but not without some major regrets at leaving the guy she adores behind.

I can’t believe a kiss and a promise from Shane almost made me forget how unfair the burden of my confessions would be to him. And how dangerous. Even knowing this, standing there in that bathroom, he’d made me believe he could take on every monster in my closet and win. To exit the bathroom and find him absorbed in an intense conversation with Seth had thrown much needed water in my face. I don’t have one monster to defeat. I have many, some of which are not just powerful, they’re capable of destroyed him, which means if I lead them to him, I’m the one destroying him.

I can’t do that. I won’t do that.

I can’t go further without destroying the intense push-pull between the valid and competing concerns that separate Shane and Emily. For both of them, their brothers have been lightning rods of danger shot through with family loyalty. Emily and Shane are both so intelligent and perceptive—I found it fascinating to parse out Emily’s career path versus Shane’s decisions. It’s worth noting that however much divides them, their core strength is the “comfort, pride, and friendship” that permeates their sensuous, private world.

Lisa Renee Jones has blown this one out of the water again! I am so engrossed in this series that I am so stoked to have had a chance to read this one! This book gave me everything I needed! Passion, intrigue, mystery and so much more. You have the right level of drama and it’s all balanced out between everything that is going on in the story!
I love that it picked right back up from the first book. So if you haven’t read it yet. Do not start this one till you read that one! I love the bond that Shane and Emily have. No matter what comes to light, they stick with each other.
Overall, this book had me floored. I need more. I cannot wait till the next one. I need answers. I love the side characters. Mostly Seth. That boy has my mind ticking too! And Jessica! OMG what a hoot! I love her! Mama Jessica for the win!

4.5 stars---DAMAGE CONTROL is the second installment in Lisa Renee Jones’s contemporary, adult DIRTY MONEY romantic suspense series. DAMAGE CONTROL is the continuing story of attorney/billionaire businessman Shane Brandon, and PA Emily Stevens, and should not be read as a stand alone as the story picks up immediately upon the events and cliff hanger ending of book one HARD RULES..

Meanwhile Shane’s relationship with Emily takes a step towards permanency but threats against our heroine’s life may be coming from a couple of directions. When Emily reveals the truth about he past, Shane and his men try to contain any fall out from landing into the present.

DAMAGE CONTROL is a story of family, suspense, romance, and intrigue. Lisa Renee Jones pulls the reader into a captivating tale about betrayal and revenge, money and power, lies and deceit. The complex world building continues to focus on the dysfunctional family dynamics, and the battle to take over a once –thriving business whose hands are now mired in illegal activities unraveling our hero’s well-ordered life. The premise is spirited and intense; the characters are colorful and dynamic; the romance is passionate and deep. Lisa Renee Jones’s DAMAGE CONTROL will take you on a remarkable journey of drama and love.

Damage Control by Lisa Renee Jones is book two of four in The Dirty Money Series.
This is not a standalone.
Please read book one " Hard Rules " first.
Damage Control picks up where Hard Rules ends.

Shane has now not only to solve Emily´s problems, but has also to get rid of a drug cartel. A drug cartel his brother has brought on their doorstep.
There are problems over problems.

Meet again Emily Stevens, 27 year old PA of Brandon senior.
And Shane Brandon,32 , lawyer and determined to safe the family´s empire. His older brother is about to destroy everything.
Are Emily and Shane a team? There is murder, the FBI and more danger.
Where does this leave Emily and Brandon?
Attention ! this book ends in a cliffhanger. Their story will be continued in the next installment.

Just like Hard Rules , Damage Control left me at the edge of my seat. I literally couldn´t put this book down. I had to know- and this ASAP- how the story continued.
This book gutted the hell out of me. I felt every single one of these characters emotions and I loved it.
I highly recommend this book and this series.
5 Stars and Thank you Lisa Renee Jones.

We're back in Denver with our darling...
Shane Brandon.

And his Emily of course!
Lisa tells us all about the first book again at the beginning of this 2nd book. Which is so mega-amazing for us Bookalzheimer-Sufferers! I loved that.

The book starts in the same moment we left them last time. Brandon just found out that Emily has been telling him lies about herself.
But she's not ready to tell the truth. The truth could hurt or even kill herself and Shane.
But Shane doesn't yet believe that her secrets are not connected to his family.
But they aren't. Emily saw something she wasn't supposed to see. And now very bad people are after her.
And of course there are other bad people who want to destroy Shane and his family business too - like his idiot brother Derek. And his dad is still playing his stupid games.

We have LOTS of stuff to go through until we might see a happily ever after somewhere on the horizon! Which of course might not happen by the end of this book, because there is more coming! ☺

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO SHANE & EMILY???
WILL EVERYBODY SURVIVE??
WILL THERE BE ANOTHER CLIFFY???

READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺

Goodreads Review

WOW.... with a cliff hanger to come off of with Hard Rules, this book was AMAZING! I LOVED THIS BOOK! If you have not read Hard Rules, then you have to read this first....Damage Control is the next chapter in this story that is so complex and well written, you don't want it to end! This book picks right back up where Hard Rules ended with Shane and Emily talking about secrets and lies.... and NO MORE LIES in their relationship. This books takes you on a ride with twists and turns. There are some answers, but more questions on what is really going on. Who is on Shane's side and who is on Derek's side? As much as Brandon Senior enjoys watching his sons battle for power, Does Maggie enjoy it more? What is her end game? Are there more players that we have learned about thus far? How does Derek really play into what is going on with the Martina family and their dirty business? The games that are being played, there is more than power that is on the table. I love Shane and Emily and who they are together, how the support and love each other! There is so much understanding between them and the protectiveness and passion is off the charts! What a wonderful addition to the series, but it leaves you wanting SO much MORE!

Again I am amazed by the level of writing and story line development in Lisa's books! She amazing me!

Damage Control, book two in the Dirty Money series, is chock full of steamy romance, action, suspense, secrets and lies. Shane is trying to do damage control to keep his family business legitimate and falling for Emily. We do find out who Emily really is and what happened to make her go on the run. Shane and Emily are great together and make a captivating couple. So many more questions to be answered and problems to be solved as Shane and Derek battle for control of the company. Can't wait for the next book!

Lisa Renee Jones picks Damage Control up where Hard Rules left off at and believe me I was really anxious to start reading the second book in the Dirty money series. I wanted to find out about Emily’s real identity and why she has been running. I also wanted to know why she would want to run away from Shane in the first place. I know for a fact I wouldn’t want to run away from Shane. He’s sexy, protective, and dominant. He’s SHANE and I love Shane! 🙂 Even, when he’s being secretive in the second book in the series.

Lisa definitely kept me turning the pages (or in my case swiping my finger to the next page on my kindle) due to where the story was going. Damage Control opens up Emily to the drama she has been dealing with and why she has a hard time believing in happily ever after. She is one strong female character though and refuses to be beat down. She also wants to help Shane, which is one reason why I adore how she handles Shane’s family. Although, Shane’s dad is different in this book then he was in the first book. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a jerk, but he has a different side, especially when it comes to Emily.

Shane’s family drama and business drama is becoming a real nuisance for him. I feel for Shane in the second book. He has some serious issues. Although, he does have support to help him through the drama. He has Emily mostly, but he’s the over-protective man that wants to help her. Shane though showed another side of himself in this book, but Emily was able to handle him. In fact, she wanted to help him even more after the incident, which is why these two are definitely meant to be.

Don’t even get me started with the scenes between him and Emily. Lisa definitely knows how to bring the heat between the characters.

If you haven’t read Hard Rules, I highly recommend you do. You’ll want to start the series off at the first book to be introduced to Shane and Emily and also both of their dramas they are dealing with. Lisa definitely has intrigued me with the Dirty Money series and I really look forward to the next book in the series, even more especially with another shocking ending.

I give this book 5 stars and highly recommend it to readers that enjoy drama and romance in there stories.

This is a great book; this is the second book in the Dirty Money series written by Lisa Renee Jones. Shane Brandon has been pushed to the brink, torn between his corrupt family and his explosive, all consuming desire for Emily Stevens, who he now knows is not who, and what, she seems. Emily tries to run from Shane, but he will stop her, confront her, force her to reveal all one hot touch and kiss at a time, under every intimate detail of who this woman is, and what she wants, is exposed. But as he tears away the dangers of the unknowns with the woman in his bed, and in his heart, The Martina Cartel has set their sights on his company, his family, and the one piece of leverage they believe he won’t gamble with: Emily.This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.
