It was a beautiful book to read
Interesting characters you learn about

As always, Lisa Renee Jones never disappoints.

I couldn’t wait to get more of Seth and to find out more about him. Needless to say, I’ve been surprised by some of the things that we find out about him. Now, I see another side of him and can’t wait to get Part 2 and to learn more about Amanda and about who is playing them against each other.

ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review.

Awesome book...it has mystery, sex and an alpha male that will kill you. Seth is a CIA agent and so is Amanda, or at least they are trying to retire but everyone knows they never let you retire. On a mission 3 years ago Seth fell for Amanda and she broke his heart and he's determined to let no woman ever get that close again, so it's love them and leave them from now on, but hes given a mission and can't say no until he sees who he's supposed to kill. Great book but does have a cliffhanger.

For Seth Cage, Amanda Larke is Elusive, she slipped away taking his heart and leaving him with the pieces of their failed mission. Only left with her betrayal, Seth made a the big mistake... he fell in love with his partner.

Three years later years have passed and no longer an CIA agent they call The Assassin; He is now The Fixer for The Brandon Family Empire. So when the CIA comes calling for him he will have to decide is he wants to be Their Assassin again, they have a gift for him... Her...

***Note - Poison Kisses is part 1 of a 3 part serial. ****

This is the story of Seth Cage and Amanda Larke. They met 3 years ago on a mission and for the first moment noone could deny the chemistry between them. Both CIA agents on a mission they end up spending 3 months together pretending to be a couple experiencing the real thing. They ended up bad and now a threat to have many people kill bring them together. Both heart broken but not admitting it, claiming to hate each other and with passion lurking around they stick together on the run while trying to escape danger. Will they make it? Can they avoid getting into each others hand?

I loved it!!! Lisa is an amazing writer who knows who to tell a story with suspense, hot scenes, passion and bringing emotions into central stage. I enjoyed the depth in her characters but also the way she kept the mystery. Her switching between present and past was to the point bringing into the pictures the necessary info to understand the story but not revealing too much.

I kept reading hungrily one page after the other and by the time I got to the last page of the book I just wanted more. I can't wait to read the next book on this series.

Honestly I am fascinated by how her various series though being on different worlds and bussinesses are told in a way that the readers' interest and attention are kept through out the book and by the end of it he/she find themselves hooked and needing to read what happens next.

I really love Lisa's stories.

This is the beginning of something good. Two agents brought together years ago on assignment and thrown back together now. They don't trust each other, say they hate each other. Sure doesn't feel like it. There's action and a mystery and the beginnings of a love story. This ends on a cliffhanger, making me anxious for book 2!

Basically this was a fun read for me. It wasn't very long and had a lot going on, and I am totally intrigued to find out what happens next to Amanda and Seth.

4 <b> Poison Princess </b> Stars
This is a 3 part story of suspense, accusations and a real who dun it!
This story focuses on the Poison Princess and the Assassin as they try to make sense of who they were, what is happening and what their next move.
the couple was brought together to do a mission as Mr. and Mrs. Smith and somewhere along the way they fell in love.
when suddenly betrayal happened and the couple spent 3 years a part

will the sins of their past, present and future destroy them or will they destroy the barriers that stand in their way!?

My god. That was...damn. Told from the POV of Seth, the hero of the story, we’re taken on a sensual ride from beginning to end. Seth and Amanda have history—not only were they partners in the CIA, they were also lovers in every way that counts. But then Amanda betrays Seth in the worst way. Next thing he knows, it’s three years later and he still hasn’t found her. Until the agency does. It’s his kill. After getting what he wants from her, he will kill her.

“Because that’s what you do to your enemies. You fuck them.”

Throw in some hot as hell sex and a smart, sexy, and can hold her own, heroine, and we’ve ourselves a mesmerizing book. To say I enjoyed Poison Kisses is an understand. It’s HOT. Seth is the delicious alpha male that’s both hard and vulnerable. His one weakness is amanda.

“You’re with me now and no one gets to take you from me. And I’m the only one who gets to kill you.”

“You’re so damn romantic,” she says. “No wonder I missed you.”

This is the first of a serial—each book coming out a week after one another. Lisa Renee Jones is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Her heroines are all whip-smart badasses and her heroes all sexy alpha men who love their women. Even when they want to kill them. Overall, if you’re wanting a book that is action-packed, romantic, sexy, and has the enemies to lovers trope, then I highly recommend starting this one sooner rather than later.

*Thank you to the publisher for providing a copy for an unbiased and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Two CIA agents in a love/hate relationship. Both believe they were betrayed by each other. So many secrets and lies but what can you really believe when you are trained to lie and lie well. Amanda, the Poison Princess, and Seth, the Assassin, story started four years ago when they were both assigned to be husband and wife. Something was off from the very beginning. Both agents usually partner up for a one time job that lasts exactly one day. This one turned into 3 months and then something went wrong. Someone was betrayed and left to die. The story goes back and forth from past to present and ends with a cliffhanger. This was a great quick read. It has a little spice, danger, and lots of combustible energy from two lovers with nothing to lose but their lives.

What a hell of a ride! Amanda and Seth. Mr and Mrs Jones. CIA agents but trained to protect the innocent and kill the enemies. Not trained to fall in love with each other. Not trained for the betrayal that they experience from one another.


“Don’t kiss me. Don’t touch me. And you aren’t going to fuck me. Not in the literal sense. Ever. Again. And as for who kills who? If I find out that you killed my parents, you will die at my hand. If I find out that you knew they were being killed, the same applies. You might be the Assassin, but I’m the Scientist. And if you think I’m not your match, think again.” And therein lies the problem. She was always my match. And I fucking loved it.

Can’t wait for part 2!

Lisa has done another amazing job. I could not put this vook down. It was full of suspence and action with a side of romance. I love the use of Julie the cat to help humanize the big bad assassin. Cant wait fir next section.

This is the first installment in Lisa Renee Jones' Poison Kisses. This is a spin off from the Dirty Money Series with Seth's story. It is told from his POV. I thought it was amazing. Seth, labeled The Assassin for reasons you will learn and Amanda, labeled The Poison Princess are great together. Neither one trusts the other and their backstory will be told throughout the series. I loved that Seth treated Amanda as his equal and she was very much a kick ass heroine and can hold her own. I received an advance copy from the author and publisher and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Rating 4.5 Stars.

I loved the entire Dirty Money series. Every character in those books, whether villain or hero, was so well written. The story was intense and the situations believable. I was sad to see it end. Then comes Poison Kisses. It’s the book I didn’t know I needed but I’m glad Jones wrote it.

Seth was an enigma in the previous books. He was highly effective but we got very little of his back story. To be honest, I hadn't really found myself wondering what came next for him. After reading Poison Kisses, I'm so glad to get this insight into him.

Can we talk about the attraction between these two? It’s off the hook. Even now, when they hate each other, they can’t keep their hands to themselves. The sex was amazing when they were in love and equally so now that they hate each other.
Unlike Seth, the reader can listen to what Amanda is saying and realize the there is something evil going on, someone setting the pair up to believe the worst of each other. There’s no hint at why or what the bigger picture is. There are so many questions left unanswered, keeping readers hanging off this cliff waiting for the next book(s) just like with Dirty Money.

Jones gives the reader plenty of great characters, complicated situations and hot attraction. I always know her books will be great reads and Poison Kisses meets and exceeds all my expectations.

Loved the Dirty Money Series and Seth Cage we know to be a man who’s dangerous, slick and not to be underestimated, he really needed to have a story of his own.
Part 1 fills us in a little, the history that he and Amanda have. They’ve been brought back together after being apart, and their feelings are all a mess. They don’t want to have any contact with each other, you could call it hate, though Seth has been searching for her, and it’s not love, Amanda doesn’t want to believe in that any more. But when they’re together, the sparks fly and then they’re fighting again, the confusion is mind boggling. They’ll have to work past the feelings of betrayal though and get to work on the mission at hand.
Yes, part two’s my next read.

I loved reading the fabulous and fantastic first book in the Poison Kisses series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy through NetGalley. Amanda Larke and Seth Cage are forced to work together again. Even though there is still chemistry between the two spies and feelings smoldering below the surface, Amanda and Mark's trust has been broken. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and full of mystery and intrigue. Can't wait to read the second book in the series!

Poison Kisses: Part 1 was simply FANTASTIC! This author has given us two very sexy, yet dangerous and confident characters that gives as good as they get. The Assassin and The Poison Princess are such a perfect pair. The chemistry is undeniable and as they play their deadly game of seduction and pleasure they also know every action has a reaction. Will they be able to do what needs to get done or will they end up killing each other first? I loved the back and forth banter between Seth and Amanda and as the mystery and clues as to what really happen is revealed, will they continue to play their deadly game of seduction at its deadliest or will their hearts fall even harder and faster in love. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series. I highly recommend it to all readers.

Amanda Larke 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. When I started reading I couldn't put it down I read the book i couldn't put it down.D.B. Reynols is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of het books.Keep up the great work.

I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for an honest review. I'm a die hard LRJ fan, I've read almost everything. I will admit I haven't read End Game, the last book in the dirty money series yet, as I hadn't realized it was out. That's unusual for me, being I note in my calendar when my faves have books coming out. I contemplated reading that before I read this book in case there was something important being that the hero in this book is Seth Cage who works for Shane Brandon, but used to work for the CIA. One never truly leaves "The Company" and he gets pulled back in to find his former partner, Amanda, so they can save the world, or kill each other, eh, which ever happens first.
This book alters between present day, and the past when they were a team for the CIA. Doesn't matter which time you are reading it's a fast paced action packed story.
It does end in a Cliff hanger, and I knew this going in. That's a classic LJR move, for some authors it doesn't bother me, and she's one of them. Being that all three books are to be released within a week of each other, I had planned to wait until the third one hit my kindle and then read them all at once. That was before I had an opportunity to get my hands on an ARC :) Now I just have to try to get the others, but since I'm going to be on a cruise *sigh* that probably won't work out for me.

Poisen Kisses part 1 by LRJ will seriously not disappoint! I absolutely loved it and Part 2 cannot come out soon enough.

Seth is sent to protect or kill depending on the circumstances bane of his existence, the women whom broke his heart 3yrs ago, and has been haunting his dreams ever since.

Amanda has spent the last 3yrs in hiding only to come face to face with the entire reason she ran for her life to begin with, but when so many lives are in peril can she and Seth put there difference aside until one last mission is complete or will the their tortured past get in the way.

Omg!!! I just cannot get enough, when the truth comes out whose going to be left standing...

love of Lisa Renee Jone's book, and with each and every one of books, she get better!
Poison Kisses is a spin off from her Dirty Money series, this is Seth's story before and during the series. Boy this story is really good from beginning to the very end Part 1.
There is more to come!!!
