This picks up right where it left off in the first part, and I was glued to the pages right through.

Amanda reveals her reason for her past actions and Seth realises that something is amiss. They discuss strategies and come to a truce. The reasons behind what led to the current situation remain a mystery. The questions are who and why?

The chemistry between them is as sizzling as ever, but the trust issues are not so easy to overcome. It's fast and sensual. The suspense is killing and makes for a compelling read. Just when it looks like there might be some light at the end of the tunnel, something else goes drastically wrong. Here it ends with a "How did that happen?" What happens now! This story has really kept me on my toes and left me with anticipation.

I was kindly issued with an eARC and the views expressed are my personal opinion.

So bummed...I am really struggling with this story and these characters. It feels like we are just going around in circles. I hate you...I don't trust you...sex...I hate you...I don't trust you...sex...rinse and repeat.

Poison Kisses: Part 2 starts where Part 1 left off. So, yes you need to read part 1 first. This is a spin off from Dirty Money and you don’t have to read it but, it is a very good series.

OMG! What an ending! Yes, it is a HUGE cliffhanger but, fortunately Part 3 is on my kindle and I will start as soon as I get this review written.

The suspense in Poison Kisses is so good and the chemistry between Seth and Amanda is amazing.

Amanda is the “Poison Princess” her choice for kills is “poison”. Seth and Amanda are both ex CIA agents. Seth accepted an assignment to kill Amanda but he says he took the assignment so no one else would get it. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to give anything away.

I enjoyed Poison Kisses: Part 2 and I give it 4.5 stars and I am starting Part 3 now.

WOW! What an ending to part 2. I am loving these books as I really liked Seth in the Dirty Money series! You did not have to ready the Dirty Money series to read these books. I think that Seth and Amanda are great together and there is a connection between them that only they understand. There is the hope that they are on the same page, but the training that tells them they need to be careful and trust no one.

Just when you think they are on the same page and they are moving in the right direction..... one more thing happens that causes Amanda to question everything all over again.... Can Seth explain things, will she believe them? Is there hope for them to solve this case and then be able to find themselves with each other?

Diving into Part 3 because I can't wait to see where Lisa takes Seth and Amanda.....

"Just remember. Poison me too soon, and my tongue will never get to all the places you like it."

Poison Kisses: Part 2 is like turning the next page, not starting a new book. Fortunately, for those of us that have read several books since then, the author gives her readers a recap to get our heads in the right place as we pick up right where we left off. That's right, with our jaw dropped.

Amanda & Seth have been separated for three years. When she left, she disappeared, and even he couldn't find her using his considerable skills and contacts. She wasn't found until she was ready to be found. And when they saw each other again, they discovered that their passion for each other had not diminished in the least. But their trust had taken a hit. They went from lovers to enemies to lovers, but what about the love? Could that be salvaged along with the trust? In trying to determine who the bad guys are, they couldn't exclude themselves, the Assassin and the Poison Princess. When the evidence is against them, how do they decide who's telling the truth? Does the heart lie?

Talk about a major cliffhanger, this one is a doozy. I'm again left with my jaw hanging and my heart pounding. I admit that it was my love for this author's work that had me willing to read whatever she decided to write, not even caring what trope she tackled. But I find myself completed invested and digging this James Bond style of espionage. The secrets and suspense, the danger and drama, the mystery and mayhem are addictive and I'm ready for the next installment. See ya there.

4.5 stars

Poison Kisses 2 starts off with a showdown between Seth and Amanda trying to call a truce. They both don’t want to admit that they have feelings for each other and that they are wrong about things but by the time they land in Texas they have mostly figured everything out.

The Poison Princess and The Assassin come together again to play a role for the agency and all the while start to make plans with each other. As you’d expect, just as everything is falling into place, something happens that makes Amanda question Seth and that’s where it ends…..

Betrayal is a bitter thing and Seth and Amanda will have to face it head on when trying to protect their country from a very dangerous threat all the while trying to deny their feelings for each other.

“She betrayed me. She betrayed Danny. She may well have betrayed her country and still, I fucking love her as much as I hate her. And what I taste on her lips is accusation. She kisses me like I’m the man who betrayed her. Like I’m the man who would have killed her, and it just pisses me off all the more.”

I love this story and cannot wait for part 3!

This is the second installment in the Poison Kisses series. This book picks up where the last one ended. We find out more about Seth and Amanda’s previous relationship. But trust is still an issue current day and these two have to work together to thwart an impending terrorist attack and try to solve the mystery of their messed up pasts. This book is also Seth's POV. I'm totally intrigued with the story but be warned that there is a major cliffhanger. I received an advance copy of this book from the author and publisher and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Ugh, here I thought the cliff hanger in Part 1 was torturous..LRJ you slay me, I have been seduced by Amanda & Seth story from page 1.

Time and time again you prove why you are one of my favorite authors.

Seth just doesn't understand the bond between a woman and her cat:
“Leave the cat.”
“No.”
“Just until—”
“No,” she says again.
I really dislike serials, I mean not this time around since I got the third one to read right off, but they always end when stuff is getting good. I just fell more in love with Seth, don't tell anybody but the man has a tender side.
