End Game by Lisa Renee Jones is Passionate, Explosive and Scandalous. I was Hooked from the very first page. Couldn't put it down for a second.

A Must Read for all readers.

This was an amazing ending to Shane and Emily's story. Through all the ups and downs they have been struggling with they never left each others side. I cannot wait to see more from Cody, Jessica, and Seth. They seemed like integral characters that made a difference to the story even though they were supporting. I highly recommend this series!

And a shattering conclusion it was…

Whew! If I thought the cliffhanger in Bad Deeds was shocking, that has nothing, absolutely nothing, on the opening pages and chapters here. Knocked back and over are a few words to describe the events that unfolded. And anything that is shock by book four of this series is catastrophic…

Redemption, survival, danger. Drugs, money and power. This series, this story, had it all with characters that refused to give up. Shane and Emily, their team, their enemies. They fought each other, and themselves in a swirling mass of never ending suspense, each discovery one to savour…
If this series ended quietly, in complete opposite of what came before it, it’s a testament to what these characters richly deserved. Calm after the storm…

An excellent read and series that carved a permanent place for this author on my must read shelf.

YES-YES-YES!! We finally get the ending of Shane & Emily’s story!!

I feel like I am saying this a lot, but if I told you anything about this book, it would ruin the entire series for you. Lisa Renee Jones has a talent of intertwining details of each book into a suspenseful overall series that keep you wanting more! And btw, I hate it when I have to wait on the next book because you are left with a cliffhanger!! But, Lisa Renee Jones wrapped this story up with a pretty bow on top for Shane & Emily. The cliffhangers were worth it!

If you are a person that loves stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, then take a look at this series!

~ Review by Heidi Pharo

So, this is the end of Shanes and Emilys story.

In this book it´s mostly told from Shanes POV, and I liked this better than changing POVs. At the end is a shorter part with Emilys POV.

It´s not easy to write a review without spoilers, so I´m telling not so much about the story - but: I loved it :-)
There are some surprises and twists in the plot, so you´re not so sure about the ending.

At the end it was told a little too fast - it would have been nice to read more of Emily and Shane, but it´s ok.

It´s been a really good book series, and I hope to read another book of the author soon.

First off if you haven’t read the first three books in this series go back and get them because this book would just confuse you, having said this this story answered a lot of questions but left me with a few more. Emily and Shane are still around however when things happen no one knows for how long and with his enemies closing in it is scary. One thing is that it is fast paced and edge of your seat exciting, I hope the author chooses to tell more in subsequent stories of some of the characters and what they are doing after everything that has happened in End Game.

I am unable to review the rest of this series as I don't have Bad Deeds on my Kindle. I'm not quite sure what happened as I still have End Game.

I won't be leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon for the End Game. Can't leave a fair review on a series when an essential part of the trilogy is missing, knowing the final part of the series can't stand alone. Thank you for the opportunity.

My rating doesn't reflect on the book. Netgalley makes you select one.

As always LRJ keeps you on the edge of your seat. This book was past paced and amazing. I am truly sad to see it come to an end.

In this installment of this series all the tangled lies come out. It had me anxious, lives hung in the balance and nothing was promised. I was shook by uncertainty it was amazing. Thank you for your words once again.

END GAME is the fourth and final book in the Dirty Money series. They must be read in the order of release.

I was devastated at the beginning of this book. I don’t want to spoil anything by saying why, just know that you absolutely must read this series. Start at the beginning and read them all. When you get to the beginning of this one, have a box of tissues on stand-by.

In the end, Shane must be able to say, “Check and Mate!” regarding the cartel and his father’s manipulative antics. Sigh! He is taking care of everything and continues to keep his Emily safe while learning to trust that she is strong enough to also lean on her as well. I know Chris Merit is considered to be LRJ’s best/sexiest/sweetest/alphaest (it’s a word now) H, but Shane is my new favorite.

If you like romantic suspense and you haven’t started this series yet, start NOW. Read them all. Read them in the order of release. You can thank me later.

Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

It is strange to think that this is the final chapter of Shane and Emily’s story but alas it is and I would say that the author made sure that they went out with and bang and not a whimper.
The dynamics of the book were cleverly interwoven, the fact that there were elements of both pain and pleasure that needed to be addressed in order to give them an ending that they deserved and let’s just say that is was an emotional ride.
I felt their pain as they did everything they could to distance themselves from the past that having families like they had foisted upon them, desperate to escape the stigma and assumptions that their family’s criminal activities tarnished them with. It was far from easy task but that doesn’t mean that it had to be insurmountable, they had an inner strength that they seemed able to draw upon and I couldn’t help but feel as if I was silently willing them to get their way in the end.
The book was a great mix of both romance and suspense, it had twists and turns peppered throughout and surprises that were strategically dotted all along the way, it certainly kept me guessing. Well written and with a strong sense of purpose, this was executed with an ease that only an author such as Ms Jones could manage…bravo.

Lisa Renee Jones's Dirty Money series is one of my favorites and this was a great ending. It was my first Lisa Renee Jones series and I am addictive. I loved seeing how the hero and heroine evolved over the entire series. These books were fast-paced and intense, with roller coaster emotions. I also enjoyed that the series had an ending, but left the option for more to come later. Hopefully, the author continues with a new series soon!

Thank you once again, Ms. Jones, for doing a recap of what has happened. I appreciate it so much when there is a bit of time between installments, and I only wish more authors did the same!
What a journey I have been on with this series. End Games picks right up where the previous book stopped, and offers lots of answers, and intrigue and suspense…and as always, hot sex!! Shane and Emily have been through so much together. So many lies, secrets, deep deception, pain, and finally what I consider a Happy For Now. I would love to have seen more for an epilogue…but perhaps there is more ahead!!!

The final installment of Shane and Emily's story comes packed with betrayal, passion, danger, and loss. When Shane must face the mortality of two people he loves, he wants revenge from those who nearly destroyed him and his family's business. He knows the cartel won't go away easily, neither will those who tried to take over the Brandon Empire. But Shane has a plan. With the help of Seth and his team, Emily and Jessica, Shane will neutralize every player in this chess game, while keeping Emily safe and cleaning house. Above all, he will keep his promise to Derek, while fighting for his and Emily's happily-ever-after.

Finally the end to this series. I found myself unreasonably engrossed in these books. They are extremely soap opera-like. The back and forth of the characters (mostly secondary) opinions and actions were all very dramatic. Oddly I thought that this book would be more action packed but this story went out like a lamb instead of a lion. Shane and Emily were surprisingly steadfast throughout this last book which was nice to see. I have found myself reading more Lisa Renee Jones so I guess she did her job with this series and got me hooked

Awesome conclusion to this series. Love the characters and the story line.

I loved this addition to the series, what a wrap up! This series has had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I'm not so sure I saw this coming but WOW! Definitely a must read series, but make sure to start from the beginning and really get to know these players! Shane and Emily, and their journey, are amazing!

The conclusion to the Dirty Money series was everything I thought it would be and more. Intriguing, emotional and exciting with twists and turns I didn’t see coming. The cliff-hanger Lisa Renee Jones left us with at the end of Bad Deeds infuriated me but, it was worth the wait. A shocking beginning to the end had me turning page after page wanting to know exactly how everything would be resolved, how Shane would bring Brandon Enterprises out of the drug business and distance them from the Dirty Money.
Both Emily and Shane surprised me with the depth of their love and exactly what they would do for it. I was amazed with Shane’s compassion and caring for his brother. And, I was touched by the love that shone through the pages of this book. It made me realize just how fragile love can be but, if you for it, believe in the other person, there is nothing that can come between you and your soul-mate. That’s what Shane and Emily were, soul-mates.

Shane would do anything to protect Emily. Murder, mayhem, revenge … nothing is off the table. He has everything prioritized. Protect Emily, get rid of the Cartel, save Brandon Enterprises, get his father out of the business and find Emily’s brother. He has a lot going on but nothing is as important as Emily and making sure all threats against her are neutralized.

Emily will stand by Shane under almost all circumstances … except his threat of murder. But, she knows that it’s his emotions talking. She knows that he will do anything for her but, will he leave Denver for New York? Will he follow his heart to where it really want’s to be? She knows he can run Brandon Industries from anywhere so now it’s up to her to convince him of what is best for them.

There were so many complicit factions to this story that it is very hard to summarize everything. I will say that Lisa Renee Jones knows how to weave a story. She understands what her readers are looking for and expect. And … she delivers every time. She knows how to incorporate her secondary characters into a story and make them an integral part of the story line. She also knows how to give us an HEA but leaves us wanting more. Knowing that Shane and Emily will probably show up somewhere down the line satisfies our inner curiosity as to what will happen with them and keeps us coming back for more.

I 'ship Emily and Shane! I knew everyone wasn't going to make it out of this series unscathed, but Ms Jones goes for all the feels, as usual. This was an amazing conclusion and left me feeling like (as much as possible) things were resolved for everyone, including Shane's parents. There are still so many things that could happen in the Brandon world that I would happily pay a visit again if the author goes down that road. I honestly enjoy the way her other characters cross paths in different series. Ms Jones manages to do it in a way that's perfectly plotted and makes you want to dive in to the next story.

PS If you haven't read Seth's story in Poison Kisses, GO DO IT! I'm dying for Jessica and *fingers crossed* Cody's story.

END GAME ... just like the name implies, is the final book in the Dirty Money series. This is when the characters we have fallen for, respected and admired, must rise to the occasion or fall prey to their weaknesses.

Shane is at the center of all the action. At the end of Bad Deeds, we were left with Derek and Emily bloodied and fallen. It is up to Shane to make sure they get the medical attention they desperately need. The story continues with Shane playing the final "game of chess" to save his family and Emily.

Our author is at her best in this last installment as she pulls the threads and takes us through this labyrinth of evil, cross and double cross, and despicable characters. As parents, Brandon Senior and Maggie are the most selfish and insidious characters I have encountered. Wait until you read about them and their reactions. All I can say is they deserve each other.

This has been a brilliantly written series. This last book will keep you on the edge of your seats and you will not be able to put it down.

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

It’s always sad to say goodbye to a series and this is no different. I feel like I want more from Shane and Emily. There were some big twists that I didn’t see coming and most of the questions were resolved, but there are some amazing side characters that I need to hear from and the ending left an opening for them to continue their journey so I would give it a Happy For Now ending.

I’m sorry I can’t say more, but this is one of those stories that it is best to go in with no expectations so you can experience the journey for yourself.
