Book Review: Damage Control by Lisa Renee Jones

Damage Control,” book 2 of the “Dirty Money” series by Lisa Renee Jones takes off where “Hard Rules” (the first book) ended.

Before I go on, this is not a stand alone novel. You have to read Hard Rules before you read “Damage Control.” Think of it as a serialized novel, because it is actually is.

Moving on…

In “Damage Control,” Shane Brandon and Emily Stevens actually get closer and more open about their feelings. Their conflict is actually not about themselves but their families. Blood might be thicker than water but love trumps it!

As we learn more about Emily’s family, we actually ask ourselves, did Emily jumped from the frying pan to the fire by getting involved with Shane. On the flipside, we ask, does Shane need to add Emily’s family in his juggling act to keep everyone out of jail and alive?

Damage Control” feels like a romantic thriller as we see Shane and Emily traverse a dangerous path. Any misstep can lead to someone dying or going to prison. Lisa Renee Jones keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time. You just can’t the pages fast enough.

And believe me when I say that you can’t wait to read the third book, “Bad Deeds.”

Damage Control” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content and violence.

Description

Wall Street meets the Sons of Anarchy in Damage Control, the smoldering, scorching next novel in the explosively sexy Dirty Money series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones.

The only thing more dangerous than a dark secret is a damaged heart…

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. Has he trusted the wrong person? Will she, not his brother Derek, be the ultimate destruction of his family Empire.
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 sites on his company, his family, and the one piece of leverage they believe he won’t gamble with: Emily.
