OMG!! OMG!!! This book is a three part series... and I only have the first part... eeek!!!! I NEED the next two parts.
As only Lisa Renee Jones can do it, this book is a suspenseful , love story that has you on the edge of your seat.
The relationship between the two characters is a very love/hate ( they think) relationship. Each is blaming the other for things that happened three years ago.
I cannot wait till the next installment.
Well done Lisa Renee Jones, well done.

Well.... We all met Seth Cage in Lisa's Dirty Money series and knew there was more to his story! Poison Kisses is where we get his back story..... and part one is a great start to his story. There is suspense in their story and a long lost love that you can still feel, a fantastic start to this story. Part One was PERFECT!

CIA spy.... Seth Cage recruited in college but retired for three years, but when you are the level that Seth was, you never really get out.... you are still called on when needed... and this is where we start his story. He is needed in a case that he was involved in years ago. It will bring him back in contact with Amanda, another CIA spy who he worked with for over three months and fell in love with only to be betrayed by her.... or was he?

In Part One, there is a lot of back ground to who both Seth and Amanda are or were when they met and worked together. They fell in love while working a case but something happened the last night they worked together and everything changed. Things did not go down according to the plan, the question is what and why? Neither of them ever saw each other again to ask and now they are working together again and have to figure out if the can trust each other. Questions need to be answered. There is an uncertainty between them because was betrayal in the past and without answers there will never be trust if trust is even possible. Just because there is a sexual connection does not mean there is trust. Was their connection three years ago a true connection or was it the "Ultimate lie"?

Part One ends with....We end Part One with "The lies end here."

Can't wait for Poison Kisses Part Two

I LOVED this book!!!!! What an amazing start to this series. I have always found this author to write well written books that grab me from page one and keep me guessing till the end and this book is no exception. I can't wait to read the additional books in this series and see what happens with Amanda and Cage and if they both survive their missions

Lisa Renee Jones is an expert at providing romantic couples full of action who are involved in world wide adventure. Two CIA spies paired as husband and wife struggle to stop a deadly nerve agent from being released. Both with their expertise will achieve their mission IF they don't kill each other first.
Amanda Larke is a scientist and doctor. Seth Cage is handsome and known by some as the "assassin".
First of a series so this ends with us balancing at the end of a cliff. "A copy of this book was provided by St. Martin's Press via NetGalley with no requirements for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion."

A terrific kickoff to the Poison Kisses serial! Ms. Jones once again wows her audience with Seth and Amanda's story! Highly recommended!

4.5

I have waited for Seth's story ever since I read about him in the Dirty Money series. I've wanted to know all about him and how he ticks.

I fell in love with him and I see why Amanda did too. He is sexy, intelligent, charming and a dirty talker. He has been sent to by the CIA to get Amanda so they can work on a mission together then he's been ordered to kill her. There are a lot of unresolved issues and feelings involved and that's where this story ended.... Need book 2 to answer all the questions

This is book 1 in a new series from Lisa Renee Jones. It's fast paced, hot, and edge of your seat reading. Poison Kisses, will keep you page turning to find pretty much anything. My only beef, it was over to soon, and now I have to wait for book 2.

Seth Cage is known as the assassin, and has no worries keeping that title.

Amanda is known as the Poison Princess, and is now the target to Seth, but not straight up murder, they well have to work l together, to bring down a man they thought was dead. Hate and lust... guns and fights....

This story is like modern day Mr & Mrs Smith.....

I am loving Seth's story! This is the first of three parts and is one you won't want to put down once you start it.

Lisa did it again. I love the book. After reading the Dirty Money series I couldn't wait for this book. The plot as well as the main characters will capture you from the very first page. I am waiting for the two next parts.

~Received a copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review~

A great read that will get you hooked from the start. I loved this story about Seth and Amanda, but hated it for being so darn short. And what's with that ending?!

One agent, a scientist and a connection between the two that runs deeper than the cases they are assigned to work together on.

Being assigned to keep safe until the case is resolved, and killed afterwards, proves to be one of the toughest missions he's been on.
Will he actually do it in the end or will she kill him, because he puts his feelings first?!

So happy that Seth has a story! I really wanted to know more about him and this story did not let me down... not at all.

I love the subtle hints we're given as the story progresses... just enough to keep you turning those pages and wanting more.

Seth and Amanda are dangerously hot together! Mr & Mrs Jones had me fanning myself more than once!

Can't wait for the next installment in this fast paced romance!

First time reading book by this author and I really enjoyed it. The love hate relation between Seth and Amanda and their brilliant chemistry. Everything was just perfect.

This trilogy is listed as a standalone series, however, in order to get the full impact of Seth Cage you should read the Dirty Money Series. Besides being a great series in and of itself Poison Kisses begins where there the Dirty Money Series leaves off, Seth Cage coming back to New York where his past collides with his present.

This is Seth's story, after his stint working at Brandon Enterprises, delves into his former life as a CIA agent, and tells the story of the only woman that mattered to him. It weaves intrigue and suspense with sexiness which takes the story to a whole new level. Lisa knocks this one out of the park leaving you wanting more. Seth is dominant in his job and in the bedroom but Amanda in no shrinking violet, she can hold her own when it comes to Seth. When a CIA assignment as a fake couple turns into real romantic feelings the sparks fly and no matter how much they try to deny it those sparks still burn as hot as ever.

Will they be able to overcome past slights and perceived betrayals? Part two and three cannot come out fast enough for me.

This you for another captivating trilogy !!

Poison Kisses is Book 1 of a there part series. For me, who usually loves books by Lisa Renee Jones, this was just okay. It had suspense and romance but was just lacking and didn't really inspire me to read the rest of the series when it becomes available.

Finally, Seth! I am so happy to get his story after meeting him in the Dirty Money series. Well this was a heck of an intro into Seth’s life outside of Brandon Enterprises and his former life as a CIA agent. It is a smart, suspenseful and sexy as hell part 1 !! Lisa wrote the heck out of this! I can’t wait for the rest. Seth is very good at his job and is so alpha and sexy and Amanda is smart as hell and by no means a pushover. When they are originally paired together to do a job and pose as Mr. & Mrs. Jones, sparks fly and all the fun starts! They may be playing a part but the feelings are real that is until things change.
Give me more please!!
