OMG what a fantastic book, I love this series, each book was as gripping as the last. Very sad to see this series end but it ended in a fantastic way. This book is full of suspense and intrigue as well as continuing the amazing love story of the characters. I can't wait to read more from this amazing author in the future.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

End Game by Lisa Renee Jones had me in tears at the beginning of the continuation in this series. As much as I wanted to read it all in one sitting, I had to read it in chunks because it took me a while to get over the plot twist I did not see coming.

I kept thinking Lisa wouldn't do this to her readers. How could she? I'd hoped that Shane's worst nightmare wouldn't come to life, and had hopes that everything would somehow work out for all parties involved, Derek included. Sadly, I was wrong and I'm still sad, and I just don't know how long it'll take me to come to terms with this unexpected twist.

I liked that all the i's were dotted and t's crossed with Emily's past and that they found a way to keep her brother safe. I also enjoyed that Shane didn't have to give up his passion for law entirely. That was a nice turn of events.

I thought the way Shane proposed to Emily was unique in that this isn't what you normally see in romance books, let alone their wedding. That was another nice touch.

All in all, I enjoyed the conclusion in this series. But is it wrong of me to hope that Adrian isn't the monster he seems and that all he portrays is a facade in order to protect the woman he loves? I mean, was this foreshadowing for what readers can expect from Lisa Renee Jones in the near future? I think Adrian could make a fabulous latin hero, and if there was a book for him I'd be all over it. As unlikeable as he seems, it's just as how much I want to read all about him.

I absolutely loved End Game this is book 4 in the Dirty Money Series and is the conclusion to Emily and Shane's story. As always it's brilliantly written, a complete page turner and a book I just couldn't put down.

After the cliffehanger ending to Bad Deeds I had no idea which way this book would go, would Shane, Emily and Derek live to fight their demons and would Shane and Emily finally get to live their very own happily ever after?

Well I'm not going to tell you anything as I don't want to give anything away but what I will say is this is definitely a series everyone should read it's full of secrets, revenge, suspense and love.

I highly recommend this series and I can't wait to read Seth's story next!!

End Game is the suspenseful, action packed, hot, hot final book of the fantastic Dirty Money Series. Picking up where Bad Deeds ends it grabs you at page one and doesn't let go. Shane and Emily's story is suspenseful, full of danger, intrigue, secrets and lies, heartbreak, and such sweet romantic moments. Shane and Emily's story is a true love story and Shane just makes you swoon! I highly recommend this series. You won't be disappointed!

End Game is the final book in the Dirty Money series. After the heart thumping cliffhanger at the end of Bad Deeds this is a brilliant conclusion to the series. Shane has to continue to fight his Father, Mother and Martina Cartel boss to be able to start afresh with Emma to have no 'dirty money' involvement. How they do this and overcome all these obstacles is well portrayed with much action, drama and heartbreak. A great end (??) to this series.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book honestly.

The exciting conclusion of this series is finally here. You cannot understand this read with having read the first 3 books first.
After the mother load of cliffhangers in Bad Deeds I couldn't wait what the outcome was. End Games begins right where Bad Deeds ends. It had been awhile since the last book so I was thankful that the author gave some background information from the last book.
Sexy, suspenseful and intriguing, this is another unputdownable read by this 1-click author!!
Shane is desperately trying to redeem himself and distance himself from his past.
Can it be done?
Emily's story seemed rushed and underdeveloped. Nonetheless this read was full of twists and turns, and heartache. Redemption, and closure. Answers and lose ends are tied up...or are they?

I have been waiting very impatiently since the shocking cliffhanger of Bad Deeds waaaay back in August to find out what happened to Shane, Emily and Derek and boy did End Game deliver. It picks up immediately after Bad Deeds, with blood and bodies on the floor and Martina standing there looking so innocent and Shane immediately freaking out.

I have to say that although I didn't realize things would play out the way they did, once I thought about it, I realized it was really the only way this story could have gone. Shane is dealing with all the consequences of Derek getting their company involved with the cartel, trying to figure out where Emily's brother is, and still fighting the darkness inside of him. His parents are still pieces of s*** and Shane is trying to rise above it all. But, can he really rise above the mess when he's still his father's son? When he still sees himself as just another version of Brandon Senior?

There was character growth abounding here in End Game, mostly on Shane's part, thank God. He really developed into the man he didn't realize he was, mostly thanks to Emily and her steadfast support. And even thanks to his brother. I loved seeing Derek again, which is not something I ever thought would happen considering his behavior in the previous three installments of this series. But, he grew too in End Game and I loved it. Emily stayed the same, but went through a lot, all with Shane by her side. Shane and Emily's journey throughout this whole series has been thrilling to read - sexy, suspenseful and finally, here in End Game, even sweet. End Game was by far the sweetest of the series, and the violence and suspense was toned down quite a bit. I felt like End Game was one giant epilogue for our couple, but I wish it had ended a bit more definitively, or at least with a solid HEA, not with what felt like an HFN ending. But, I guess it may have ended the way it did because Lisa says in a note at the end she would love to write more about Emily and Shane. She doesn't have anything planned right now, but it most definitely could happen. So, because of that, I think their story is purposely left off a bit abruptly. It wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped for, but if more comes, I won't be surprised a bit. I also loved seeing in her note that Seth has his own story coming, thankfully, because he's as intriguing, if not more so, than Shane. That whole stoic, alpha security thing is most definitely my thing, and I'm impatient to read his story now.

If you've been waiting for the conclusion to Shane and Emily's story as impatiently as I have been, you'll be pretty happy to read End Game. It's a great ending, and you'll appreciate the direction their story takes. Now if only Lisa would give us more of Shane and Emily, then I'd be a happy, happy woman!

I received End Game from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This ice final book for Shane and Emily. But it’s not nessicarily the end. End Game has fear, passion, life and death. Previous books need to be read before hand. This is not a standalone.
Shane has decisions to make in order to save his father’s company. Battling the murder of a loved one, the near death of his girlfriend, he feels he needs to make a deal with the devil himself in order to do so. Shane’s character proves he can be just as vicious in business has he was in the courtroom in New York. Deep down huge doesn’t want the business he worked so hard to stay away from. On the other hand, when it comes to Emily he will do anything for her and go to the ends of the Earth to protect her from the danger she has been out in by both his family and her own brother.
Emily has a past that keeps her from trusting most people. She also has a fear of losing those she loves. Knowing what she feels for Shane, she does whatever it takes to help him save the company and
End Game is a perfect title for this book. It wraps up loose ends to get Emily and Shane where the want and need to be. It’s broken down into two sections The Grim Reaper and New Beginnings.
In part one, The Grim Reaper, death hits the Brandon family. Not only physical death but emotional as well. Part two, New Beginnings, focuses on rebuilding the company, as well as leaving the past behind.
I really love this series. Shane’s need for control and Emily’s commitment to him is a perfect match. Their relationship takes twists and turns like most relationships do. I highly recommend this series.

This is the last book in the Dirty Money series and it is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. After the way Bad Deeds ended, you can imagine how this book was going to go. And holy hell, I was not expecting it to go that way. After a terrible tragedy, Shane will face a darkness that only Emily can save him from. And with the help of Seth and Jessica, life will be better for them all.

Shane and his brother try to fend off the drug cartel to save the family business, but at what cost? Will Shane's plan to sell off part of the company make the drug cartel less interested in the rest of the Brandon companies? Is Emily's brother looking for her and leading the Gemini straight to her? Will Shane's father still try to control the company?

My review is going to be short because I don't want to give anything away. I want to tell you everything I loved about this book, but I can't because then I would be telling you the whole story. This series has become one of my favorites and I was glad to read that Seth and Jessica will be getting their own stories in the future. So, if you are looking for a fast-paced, suspenseful series with a happy ending, then you need to read this one, Lisa Renee Jones does not disappoint. Bring on more Shane, Emily, Seth, and Jessica, the sooner the better.


Veronica – ☆☆☆☆
Bad Deeds, the third instalment in the Dirty Money series, left us with a massive cliffhanger and I couldn't wait to get my hands on End Game to find out what happens next.

There were events in End Game that I was expecting, like the ending, and some events I was absolutely not expecting. I love that four books into a series the author was still able to surprise me.

I adore Shane and Emily. They are honest with each other, strong, smart, and sexy. I also thought it was great to read about a couple in business with such drive that actually spend a realistic amount of time working.

End Game brings the series to a happy and satisfying conclusion. Lisa Renee Jones has once again written a series full of drama, passion, twists and turns, and that completely sucked me in. Thank you, Ms. Jones.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the fourth and final book in the series – and if you haven't read any of them yet, then you are in for a treat. My advice would be to read them all together, as the story runs through them all and it is complex enough to benefit from recent reading of the previous installments. There was also a huge cliffhanger at the end of book three, which I am glad to have resolved!

Shane and Emily have been a curious mix of dark and light, in their personal, professional, and romantic lives – but there has never been any doubt that they somehow belonged together. They certainly haven't taken an easy route to get there and this book doesn't change that either. I found the first few chapters a little slow going, but it built up to the drama which comes later. This was so true that I think I was looking behind Emily more than Shane was, waiting for something bad to happen!

A very satisfying end to the series – with, to be honest, opportunities for things to still get messy in the future.

These are the kind of reviews that I find very difficult to write. Not because I disliked the book. It is the opposite. I enjoyed the book so much and it is the kind of story that if you reveal anything, you can kind of spoil it for another reader. I know I hate stumbling across reviews that just gave away a big reveal.

End Game picks right up where the last book left off. Literally we are thrown right back in the most exhausting cliff hanger. I didn’t even have a moment to catch my breath as all of the action and memories of the previous books came rushing forward. Shane is on a mission to rescue Emily and his brother, Derek. All of the players are together and all hell breaks loose.

I have to admit that I wasn’t even sure how they could get out from under the rule of the Cartel. Shane is does everything he cans to keep Emily safe despite having to play a serious game with Martina. Emily wants to run but she goes along with the plans that her man makes.

I despised Derek in all of the previous books but my emotions started to shift slightly in this book. Everyone realizes that they need to team up to get rid of the bad guys. A major event occurs (gosh, I wish I could spoil it) and it changes how Shane reacts to a lot of what happens next. I’m not even sure how I actually felt. The author delves into a bit at the end of the story and I’m not sure if it is true or not.

Shane and Emily still have to fight for their HEA but that made the ending that much sweeter to me. I was ready for this series to be wrapped up but a part of me kind of want to see Shane and Emily again. Of course, there are hints that there may be other books in this world with some of the secondary characters. I look forward to that and much more from Ms. Jones.

I loved Shane Brandon and Emily.

Lisa’s books never disappoint, but I think this has become my newest favorite series of hers.

We’ve got to see both Shane and Emily during highs and lows in their lives, but I absolutely love how Shane cherishes Emily and would do anything to protect her. I loved the end of their story, but hated to see their story come to and end. Hopefully, Lisa will revisit them in the future and hopefully we will see more of the happy couple in Seth and Cody/Jessica’s books.

ARC was received from NetGalley for an honest review.

It is hard to believe that End Game is the presently planned last book in the Dirty Money series featuring Shane and Emily. Picking up after the explosive ending in Bad Deeds, End Game follows Emily and Shane as they deal with the aftermath of that fateful day in the restaurant. Shane remains at odds with his father, desperate to save his family business and remove themselves from the connection with the dangerous Martina cartel. Emily finally can see her fashion dreams coming true, but her past continues to haunt her and threatens the happy ending she wants to share with Shane Brandon. Shane's father, his mother, and his brother are all puzzle pieces that need to come together to make everything run smoothly, but sometimes puzzle pieces go missing.

"You are Emily, and I swear to you that one day, if you let me, I'm going to make sure you don't react to everything with the fear you do now."

End Game continues with the high stakes and high emotions readers loved in the previous three novels. Lisa Renee Jones amps up the angst, the drama, and suspense, taking this complex series to another level. It's the kind of series that you can't predict, featuring LRJ's unique storytelling and a plotline that isn't like any other book. I continued to like Emily, she's a strong, fierce, independent woman with a lot more compassion than you would ever expect from someone who has been so wronged in life. Shane is still handsome, headstrong, and too determined to succeed. I really enjoyed that his emotions and his beliefs were put to the test in End Game, it allowed for so much character development for him and made the story that much better. Of course, it wouldn't be an LRJ book without scenes that shock you, there were definitely tears in my eyes while I read and a few times when I wanted to throw my book. There are several plots moving forward at one time in this series and End Game really wraps up all of them, so even though I don't want this to be in the end it looks like it might be. I wanted more from the ending though, which is why I brought my rating down to 4.5. I wanted to see the fashion business kick-off, I wanted to see an epilogue for Shane and Emily, and I wanted a more fierce ending for the control that Shane and Derek's father had held over them for so long.

"Dangerous.
Me.
Unchecked.
Yes, I am."

Dirty Money has been one of my favorite series from Lisa Renee Jones yet and I love all of her books. The setting and the business aspect of it was all very interesting and less guns-blazing suspense than previous releases. The Dirty Money series is very romantic, with Shane and Emily sharing trust and passion with one another. Get to reading this series right away and cross your fingers LRJ decides to give us more!

Well.... I was terrified starting this book with the way number three ended. And let me just say LISA ROCKED IT! This was amazing. If by chance you have not read the first three book stop reading. I don't want to spoil it for ya. So read at your own risk from this point forward.

Shane and Emily do not have an easy life. Period. If something can go wrong for them, it will go wrong. Although the odds are always against them, they always fight until there is no fight left to give. That's why I loved these two so much. Although this book wasn't the most sexual of the series it was probably my favorite. They had to rely on each other for better or worse. Not just in a sexual connection to fix all.

I loveeeee this series. It is most definitely one of my favorites for LRJ. I'm so sad that it ended. But what a freakin' ending it was!!!!! Lisa was brilliant and on point with this story and all the twists. Kept me hooked from the first book to the last!

I read this book and the only disappointment that I had was it was the end of the series. The author keeps you guessing to see if Shane and Emily will have their happy ever after! I can also see Lisa writing about other characters
From this series in the future, fingers crossed! This is some of the ghostwriting that Lisa has done to date! Loved this series and the outcome!

The end is here and I don't know about you, but I have been DYING to read this book. Simply I just can't handle the fact that I had to wait this long. But also, I am so glad to have finally gotten to jump into it and get lost in Shane's final story to us.



This books as raw and it was exactly as the titles stated, the End Game.

The book left us in a horrible spot and I don't want to reveal anything you, but I was definitely brought to tears a few times. Some of the scenes that Lisa crafted are pure emotional bombings. I couldn't escape the scenes and I knew the tears were going to flow.

By the middle fo this book I was so into the plot that I was talking out loud to the characters while I was reading. Why couldn't they see the things I saw? Why didn't they hear me yelling at them?

Yeah. It is that kind of a book. At the end? It was the absolute perfect ending and I couldn't have wished for anything else. I am a HUGE fan of this series and I will continue to recommend it to anyone and everyone. The Dirty Money series is everything you want in a suspense filled romance.

End Game is the conclusion to the Dirty Money Series by Lisa Renee Jones. Book four has all the pieces falling into place, or does it? The pieces fall, but they didn't line up quite the way I had anticipated. I loved the journey this series took me on. The passion and danger kept me on the edge of my seat, and the end game was nothing I saw coming. The twists and turns, the excitement. The Brandon Empire, the Martina Cartel, the family dynamics and the love of Shane and Emily... all of these elements left you turning the pages, but not wanting the story to end. Well written and expertly thought out, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game play out.

Picking up where Bad Deeds (book 3) left off, the story quickly brings action and tension to the forefront. Even with the quick recap from Jones, you truly cannot read this book and understand the characters or their motivations if you haven’t read earlier titles in the series. And for those who have read them – be warned – this is grab you by the throat tension filled moments that mix with answers, heartbreak, sprinkles of potential happiness and a need to turn each page faster and faster as the story moves on to its conclusion.

Told in two parts with different points of view coming forward to share the story: Shane’s part gives us his own frustration, mastery and adaptability as the mind games and manipulations bring danger, disgrace and conflict to his door. While he wants to keep Brandon Enterprises on the straight and narrow, and his sibling rivalry with his brother is starting to settle, his father’s manipulations and the illicit drug deals and trades are weighing on him. And then there is Emily – a perfect match for him even with her own secrets and the dangers she faces –there’s seemingly an endless twisty maze for him to navigate to get any resolution – and that won’t come without some serious disillusionment and disappointment as more secrets and bad deeds are uncovered.

Emily is so totally in love with Shane – but her secrets and the dangers those produce, including her being a target for those who wish to manipulate Shane’s actions by using her as a pawn become even more relevant here. There are answers to be had, but at what price? With the stalwart and always in his corner (and hers) Jessica, a potentially lifesaving treatment option that could be derailed with each choice that Shane makes and some seriously emotionally laden revelations and discoveries that Shane faces in nearly every new twist, the story has so much going on with answers, new questions, more revelations and more answers right until the end. A solid conclusion for a series that brought up many questions, situations and plenty of steam along the journey.

I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

I loved reading the amazing and awesome third book in the Lover's Triangle series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy through NetGalley.
Scarlet is an insurance fraud investigator. Through her investigation, she meets Michael and his stepbrother, Sam, and spends magical, passionate evenings with them, but she doesn't know if their relationship can continue when she uncovers the real culprits behind the crime.
Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, full of romance, mystery, and intrigue with captivating characters, and a must read love story.

GoodReads Review

I started my year off by reading this book and what a book it is. I absolutely loved it! I could not get enough of Shane and Emily. This series is one that must be read in order but it truly is a must read series. I was captivated from the very beginning of the story and stayed that way until the very end. This is a story that has it all; Love, Revenge and Secrets but the Suspense within the story will completely blow readers away and this story was not lacking on steam. This book was a great way to end a fantastic series. I will definitely be reading more books from this author. I honestly can't wait to read the the spinoff.
