Bad Deeds, book 3 in the Dirty Money series, picks up right where Damage Control ends. The intensity definitely gets turned up in this installment. It’s a fast-paced, suspenseful page turner. Emily and Shane continue to grow their relationship with their love strengthening them as a couple and individuals. Shane is all kinds of hot and Emily all kinds of sweetness and sass. The family dynamic continues to change and add to the story. New perspectives from Derek and Teresa give more insight and how they fit into the game that’s being played. Cody (Emily’s bodyguard) and Jessica (Shane’s assistant) turn up a little heat too. You get lulled into a sense of security and safety for Emily and Shane and the other characters and then it’s snatched right from under you with a cliffhanger that wasn’t expected. Come on End Game!

Wow! I loved this book! I've been enjoying this continuing story but I think this is my favorite so far! But holy cliffhanger Batman!! I was left emotionally reeling at the end of this book and will be counting the days until End Game comes out.
I just love Shane! I love everything about him from the strength he exudes to the sexiness that just rolls off him! He makes me want to sing "What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!!"
Emily is a perfect match for him! She is 100% there for him in every way! The steamy sexy times and the adorable I love you counting is a nice distraction from the intensity of the main storyline!
I am also seeing Derek in a new light now.
So much is happening in this book I can't wait to see how it all ends!

Bad Deeds was a fast-paced and exciting read, with a monumental cliff-hanger that left me breathless and incredulous.

Story:
Following straight after the ending of Damage Control, Bad Deeds is faster paced, and because I have gotten to know the characters much better, I was more involved as well. The danger is stronger, as is the rivalry between family members, until something happens to make a change. Emily is put in extreme danger and a situation she could never have seen coming. And the plot continues to thicken.

Characters:
Shane and Emily are still the main characters, however, the readers get more time with Derek, Seth and Jessica, which makes for a more even story in some ways.

Writing style :
First person present tense, with chapters from Emily's and Shane's point of view.

Feels :
The suspense! It was killing me! Bad Deeds made my heart almost beat out of my chest!

Omg that ending was insane. Shane & Emily are going strong but as the situation gets more dangerous can Shane really keep Emily safe? You have lies, betrayal, fear and love and seeing how the Brandon's were against each other now knowing they have to be a united front made me absolutely love this book. Characters I disliked now I like and I'm dying too know what happens next because that ending was brutal.

OMFG, this has to be the best book yet of the Dirty Money Series by Lisa Renee Jones. I finished this book in one day. I just couldn't put it down. Bad Deeds was a great combination of suspense/drama/action with emotion/love/romance and great sexy scenes. The Brandon family is a dysfunctional family but as time goes on it looks like they all have a little heart in them to try and work together for the sake of there family. I love Emily also she is the perfect match for Shane. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one. I needed it like yesterday the suspense of finding out how this story ends is to much. I received a ARC copy thru Net gallery and i am voluntarily writing my review.

4 1/2 Stars! WOW what a page turner! This is the 3rd book in the Dirty Money Series and if this is the 1st book you are reading, go back and start at the beginning because these books definitely continue and you won't be disappointed.

Shane and Emily's relationship is headed toward the next step, as they can't keep their hands off each other. It was nice to see another side of Derek (Shane's brother) ... maybe he's human after all. The twists and turns in this book ... what can I say! And at the end ... a cliffhanger that will make your chin hit the floor - did not see that coming AT ALL! The only downside is that now we have to wait until January to find out what happens! How can we be expected to wait that long ... REALLY?

I received an ARC copy courtesy of St. Martin's Press through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Why? Why? Why? I am screaming and almost threw my device against the wall right now. LRJ, why would you give us an ending like this? Then we have to wait till 2018? Well, that just gives me the excuse to make some demands of my own. Absolutely Derek must not die, Cody either!!!!! I mean it. Okay, now am begging. Please.

To my fellow readers, please don't let the dreaded cliff hanger prevent you from reading this series. It is addictive, and scrumptious. There is not enough words to express my opinions. There is danger at every corner, and intrigue. Every character in this book is playing Russian roulette with death. Yet, there is hope and love. Don't let's forget the sex, plenty of that variety between Emily and Shane.

Wow, I have to say it again, wow, this one I found it incredible. This series, could actually be a mini-series in T.V., and I would totally watch. It has a little bit of everything, a couple of love stories, betrayals, violence, heartbreak. And yet again, we are left with a crazy as hell cliff-hanger.

This is the third book in this series by this author. Holy cow, what and ending !!!!! This book explains a lot of things from the first two books. Same fantastic characters as the first two books. I just couldn't put this book down and the entire series, I was hooked from the first page of book one. I was left speechless at the end. This is a fantastic series from an amazing author. It has everything, steamy romance, twist and turns and suspense. I can't wait to read more from this amazing author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed and advance reader copy of this book

As the third book in the Dirty Money series, Shane and Emily are battling to get the Martina cartel out of Brandon Enterprises while dear old pops is still got the cancer, mom is still acting like nothing is wrong and poor Derek is a loose cannon who's in love with the head of the cartel's sister.

As they battle the cartel, Shane is still having trouble including Emily into the world but she makes it know that she can handle it and the Brandon’s. Alliances will be made and just when you think you've got it figured out, more twist happen.

You get a better understanding for Derek in Bad Deeds and I sympathize with him. He feels like the son who can't do anything right. In the end, it is Theresa who makes him see that he can be good.

The ending completely shocked me and I need for the final book to come out so I can get answers.

Lana-White Hot Reads

Five Glorious Cliffy Stars!!!!!

In Bad Deeds; Shane and Emily both try to find a way to get Brandon Enterprises out of the eyes of the drug cartel. Shane pushes Emily away in the beginning but only because he gets an unexpected visit from the King of the Cartel himself... Adrian in the same room with Emily and Shane does not do friendly things to him.. Shane goes into protect and push away mode with her.
With each day they make their bond stronger and Shane finds the perfect way to get them out of the pharmaceutical company.
Lisa gets us deeper into their world and twists and turns everything as you continue to read... Huge Cliffy at the end...... and I love it!

Holy crap! Hold on while I pick my jaw up off the ground! This book was pretty intense, as with the first two books, it's very well written, keeps you on edge from the first page to the very last word, plenty of hot, steamy angry sex, and also some very tender moments. I love this couple together, a lot. Derek definitely has some surprises that unfold in this book as well as their mother. Overall a great installment to this series. I really need that last book to come out now!!!!!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

Lisa Renee Jones has definitely increased the stakes that Brandon has been forced to deal with. As soon as he thinks he has a handle on each problem they slowly begin to unravel. One thought remains consistent throughout the book, without trust you have nothing. He constantly diliberates his internal struggle of doing everything to keep Emily safe and trying to not worry her with every detail he is forced to deal with. From his father, brother, Gemini, and the Martina crime family he feels pulled into so many different directions. One thing remains clear in this spellbinding book is preserving his family's name and securing a safe future for him and Emily.

Not cool, not cool at all, but so very good. Shane still has that cape attached to the collar of his expensive suit. But it was nice to see how he and Emily’s relationship has evolved. Everything, and everyone else was just, wow. I feel sorry for those who haven’t read this yet, I feel sorry for myself because I want the next one now. I deserve it after the anxiety and emotional roller coaster this book took me on.
I was given an ARC for my honest review.

5 clean STARS!!!

The saga continues...i love this series!!!

Bad Deeds is the third book in the Dirty Money series. You must read the series in order to fully understand it. Bad Deeds starts off exactly where Damage Control ended. I am going to make this short so I don't give away too much.

Two brothers fighting over one company. A father that pins them against each other for control. A mother that has both loved and betrayed the family. Two women that want to love and protect the men they want a future with. One drug cartel leader that wants it all. And security that will do anything to protect their bosses. That is Bad Deeds in a nutshell. Who will come in on top? Who will have a future together? Will this family get their shit together before it's too late?

I have been reading the series from the very beginning and it has been full of twists, love, and sex. I think that it's a great series but this one book felt a little flat compared to the previous two books. Maybe it was because it's more about the business and not as much about the love part. But I will be finishing off the series. I have to know what happens next. I believe the fourth book is going to be more exciting and full of heat.

Overall...not my favorite of the series but still good. There are some twists and turns. The characters are growing. The writing is good and I like that Lisa sums up the previous book before it starts and there is a cast list.

Quotes:

“I have no idea how you still blush after all the things we’ve done together, but I love it.”

“I won’t be the girl who went down without one hell of a fight.”

“Yes, Master.” I shake my head. “That was a joke. You are not my master.”
“I bet I could get you to call me Master.”

Oh, boy! Edge of the seat reading no longer works. I am standing up and pacing ... and now I am done reading this installment. Complicated, complex, emotional, gripping, and a puzzle to solve all in one!

Alliances are switched, new ones are made, lives are in real danger, and all Shane wants is to solve the problem of drugs being moved using his pharma company. He wants to leave the firm in good hands and profitable so he can live his life in peace with Emily. Will this ever happen?

Everything is going downhill right now. Derek and Theresa, his father and mother, Emily's brother, etc. is seems like everyone has gone off their tracks and all the burdens are falling on Shane's shoulders. He has a plan that will satisfy all. At least he hopes it works.

I can hardly wait for the final book in this series. Like all of this author's series, this one is deep and complex. Just breathe and try to remain calm, it won't be easy. I am dying to read the conclusion now.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I thank the author for sharing a copy of the book with me.

Another great series by Lisa Renne Jones! Loved it!!

This was an awesome third installment in the story of Shane and Emily. Secrets, betrayal, intrigue abound. Finally it looks like Shane has figured a way to get out of the mess his family has created for him and he and Emily will have their happy ever after...and then WHAM here comes a killer cliffhanger, and a note from the author that just adds to the need to see how this all turns out.
