A fantastic end to a fantastic series, and just as the previous books have been End Game too was full of surprises, tension, twists and turns. And I could not read this book fast enough or bear to put it down for even a minute. As I was desperate to know who survives, who dies, if anybody. Who gets their comeuppance, who doesn't and most importantly if Shane and Emily got their happy ending. And happily all my questions were answered with this rollercoaster of a story. That had me on the edge of my seat. As well as crying and smiling in equal measure and I honestly enjoyed every single moment of it. Which is why I would happily recommend it to all. And will definitely be rereading this series for years to come.

End Game’s Shane and Emily is jaw dropping, heart stopping, salivate over the chemistry, never put it down, or want the story to end good.

Lisa Renee Jone’s 3rd installment in the Dirty Money Novel Series, proves she is yet again worthy of being one of my favorite writers.

With the heart pounding, jaw dropping, cliff-hanger at the end of Bad Deeds I was so ready for where Lisa Renee Jones would take us next on this epic adventure. I was also initially heart broken that this would be the end of Shane and Emily's story.

End Game begins right where Bad Deeds ended.
Dead bodies, blood..... and even more blood.
Enemies have fallen, and new ones have risen from an empty grave.

This book is dark, gritty, and down right dangerous. I was on pins and needles praying that this book wouldn't gut me like the last book did. Lives are at stake, and your left wondering who will survive this wicked game.

Being the final installment in the Dirty Money series, its built on tragedy, and loss. New threats come into the game, and Shane is there to make them all pay. No deed will go unpunished.... Men will fear the monster behind the mask.

Emily's and Shane's bond was hard to break. Nothing could separate these two, even death itself.

This was a damn good conclusion to the action packed series. Bitter sweet angst, and steamy sex. Oh me oh my......

Get ready for your panties to be in a wad for SHANE!!!

End Game is the 4th book in The Dirty Money series by Lisa Renee Jones. I loved this book and this series. Shane and Emily’s story captured by heart from the very start and I hate to see them end but what a perfect ending or is it? We never know with this amazing author where she will take us next. This book is full if suspense. It has lots of twist and turns and of course the hot romance. I cannot recommend this book and this series enough. You wont regret it!!

End Game is the explosive finale to Emily and Shane's story. It is filled with suspense, danger, drama, heart-wrenching moments, twists and turns, secrets, tragedy, loss, deceit, passion, and true love. I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I've read this year.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

Well I have been dying to get my hands on this book and for good reason! This is the 4th installment of the Dirty Money books and it has been a rollercoaster! If you have not read books 1-3.... you should NOT read this one until you have finished these books. Emily and Shane's story is a crazy twist of events that bring them closer together throughout the books. Lisa did not disappoint with this one. We were left with a cliffhanger ending in Bad Deeds, gunshots fired? Was anyone hit? Derek jumped in front of Emily, did it matter? Is this his final act, unselfishly trying to save Emily, the love of his brothers life? Or are they both the next victims of the Martina family? So many different conclusions and all are life changing to the people left behind.

What comes of this relationship between Shane and Adrian now that Emily has been drugged and both Emily and Derek have been kidnapped by Ramon who works for Adrian. Shane never trusted Adrian, but now there is nothing that Adrian can do to try and swing Shane onto this team. End Game picked up right where Bad Deeds left off and what a ride this final book was. It was brilliantly written and was a perfect ending to this story for so many reasons. It wraps up a lot of lose ends as well as you see so much emotion expressed as everyone is trying to figure out the new normal and what is next in their story.... because the events that unfolded in this story can never be undone and change the course of everyone's life.

There is more to come when we get Seth's story in Poison Kisses coming in March!

The first thing you need to know about this book is don't read it until you have read the first three books in Shane and Emily's story. In this dramatic conclusion everything Shane and Emily have been working for will get resolved. Be prepared for some surprises along the way but if you are a fan of the series you definitely don't want to miss this one! I'm looking forward to more stories involving some of the secondary characters that will be coming. Now is the time to catch up. I highly recommend you do.

4.5 Stars

We're finally back in Denver with Shane Brandon and his Emily!

DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE FIRST 3 BOOKS!!!

Lisa tells us all about the 3rd book again at the beginning of this 4th book. Which is so mega-amazing for us Bookalzheimer-Sufferers! I loved that.

The book starts in the same moment we left them last time. Derek just jumped in front of a bullet for Emily and now we're at the hospital waiting if they'll both survive.

Plus we still have to figure out how to get rid of the whole Martina cartel.

And we have to get Shane's dad away from the top of the company, so that Shane can officially take care of everything. Meaning - get far away from everything criminal and dangerous!

And then there's also Emily's hacker brother Rick and his bad group of criminals ...

So we have LOTS of dangerous and exciting and suspensy and erotic moments to go through until we might see a happily ever after somewhere on the horizon!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO SHANE & EMILY IN THIS FINAL BOOK???
WILL EVERYBODY SURVIVE??
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺

GREAT FINALE!!!!

I love this series!
It's all so exciting and suspensy and sexy and sad.
And now we're just hoping that everybody survives and gets their happily ever after. Even Derek ☺

But our darlings have a long way to go yet...

Like I already mentioned before - I loved this series, but I also think it could've been done in 2 or 3 books. Sometimes it gets a bit much, with the constant repeats and the same threats and new threats and ... it's a little bit too much. But I still really loved it! And I especially loved that brother Derek is not the horrible guy he was in the previous books! ☺

Lots of excitement and sexiness and hope!
Perfect Romantic Suspense!

I think this series would be an amazing TV Show!!! Gimme Netflix!

I hope we'll see Emily and Shane again one day - maybe for an exciting epilogue novella! ☺

END GAME was an exciting & sexy finale in this great romantic-suspense series... Run to your nearest amazon for your own Shane - this one is MINE!!!

I loved End Game the last book in Lisa Renee Jones Dirty Money series. It is a great wrap up to Emily and Shane's story - though I am hoping this isn't the last we see this dynamic couple.

End Game picks up right were Bad Deeds ended that takes Shane down a path that changes everything and leaves him reeling. Not knowing if Derek or Emily will make it, we are on Shane's journey into darkness as he deals with a devasting blow.

Lisa Renee Jones takes her readers on the ultimate journey of darkness and ultimately the light. Over the course of the 4 book series, we have seen Shane and Emily come to grips with how life is full of twist and turns and where they end up is definitely not what they expected. The End Games is smart with fantastic dialog which I love. We do get to see the other characters (Seth, Jessica, and Cody) along with closure for Shane's parents. I dont want to say too much so I dont give anything away other than this is my favorite book in the series.

If you are waiting for a whole series to be released before reading it then look no further than the Dirty Money series - you wont be disappointed.

There is one thing you can absolutely count on at the end of one of Lisa's books or series, and that is everything is always neatly tied up and all questions are answered. The End Game completes this series with so much emotion and fast paced suspense. The book is primary told by Shane's POV and he unravels. Shane is emotionally shaken by the events that forever change him when Emily & Derek are hurt by Romano. Shane's pain is raw. There is a domino effect as Shane tries to regain control after a devastating loss and puts his power play back in motion. Shane wants to enact revenge/retribution against his family and enemies but has to live with his decisions. You will love this final journey as it reveals the End Game is now complete!

I’m sad to see this end but I sure did enjoy the ride! Despite some heartache, I was happy with how everything ended.

This series had so much going on in it, with so many players. I kept trying to figure out who was deceiving who and what was truth and what was lies. You definitely have to read this series in order or you’ll be lost. Each book picks up where the previous leaves off.

Once again, Lisa Renee Jones brought us another exciting series full of intrigue and suspense, as well as an incredible love story! I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next! ARC provided by NetGalley.

End Game is an exhilarating finale to this series. After being left speechless with mixed emotions in the previous book, everything in this one is fast and furious before reaching to a more than satisfying conclusion.

Shane is a wreck as he is now facing the uncertainties of the results of what transpired in Bad Deeds. His fear and sorrow are heartwrenching. Even in his emotional state of mind, he makes all the necessary arrangements to make his loved ones comfortable.

The waiting is agonising and then one of the dreadful outcomes brings him to despair. Not all is lost though, and he is now more determined to clean house. His plan is meticulous, but his fear of loss could be detrimental. He gets the right support from those who are loyal to him and his reason for living makes all the difference!

There are twists and turns at every corner of this installment. It's a real nail biter and my emotions were shredded and reassembled on more than one occasion. It's a compulsive, gripping, emotive, sensual, heartwrenching, thrilling and romantic read. I have really enjoyed this series and the postscript promises much more for the future. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

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

This book starts where "Bad Deeds" left off. Shane soon finds out that Derek was shot and Emily has a head injury and both are unconscious. And that is pretty much all I can say without ruining the story for others.

I found the beginning to move a little on the slow side, but once it picked up ... it had you wondering what was gonna happen next. And of course the chemistry between Emily and Shane is once again off the charts. I'm glad to hear Seth will get his own story and hopefully Jessica will get her own story as well. And maybe Shane and Emily's story isn't over either. Great series that keeps you guessing till the "End Game".

I received an ARC copy courtesy of St. Martin's Press through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

I don't even know where to start. Part one should have been a fourth of the length it was. Story continued to drag out.

Part two was so much better. We get new material!!

Geminis again were just an after thought. I thought they were a big bad society. There is no way they wouldn't find her now that she is running a fashion label, new name or not. Why her brother abandoned her went unresolved, which was a big disappointment. And then while in New York Emily felt like she was being followed... so I assume she wasn't?????

Book continued to be more one sided with the same ole storyline. I don't know why Emily's story was just pushed under the rug.

Reaching the finale of a 4-book story holds a great importance. Especially when it's written with the sophisticated voice of LRJones. The thrilling cliffhanger in the previous book left my heart barely beating. I couldn't read this final book fast enough.

Shane is facing an impossible hit to his heart with a double sacrifice that's taking him to the edge of a darkness with no return. The writing has a powerful sense of urgency and the dialogues crackle with intensity. It's also heavy with grief as Shane and his family struggle with terrible loss. He and Emily share scenes of emotional impact. It was both hard and satisfying to read. Not to mention that their love is stronger than ever and deeply moving.

Meanwhile, the end game that will sever them from dangerous liaisons is in motion, and the tension among all parties involved was extreme. The ultimate chess game. Hard business deals, illegal operations, espionage, dark family matters... all mingle in never-stopping circles. The balance between suspenseful business and personal relationships is masterfully planned. I love this kind of sharp, slow-burn intensity as much as the soulful romance. Shane and Emily find their HEA through a storm of sacrifice and complex decisions, and it was immensely gratifying to reach it with them. Great read as usual, and not to be missed.

So my friends we got to ending of this series, and after the ending to the last one, was wary. Was still somewhat jumpy but also relieved, now I hate to give spoilers so I wont tell you why. I do however recommend that you read it, if you liked the previous book, you have to, have to read it if not it is liked opening a candy bar and licking it but not taking out a bite, that just wont do. Anyhoo, I got my Shane fix, aaaand found out that Seth's book is coming up..Yes, Yes, Yes...can't wait

Such a roller coaster of a series and after the ending of the last book it was doubtful Shane and Emily were ever going to get their happily ever after but all the ups and downs and twists and turns were worth it. Tears are shed and smiles and laughs are shared with the characters and the ending is satisfying. So much happens between the pages to wrap up the series with a bow and I am anticipating the off shoots that will happen.

Yea, you didn't think I was going to tell you what happens did you?

I highly recommend this entire series and you MUST read them in order or you will be lost. This is not, and I repeat NOT a standalone.

**Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

End Game is the fourth and final book in the Dirty Money series. It cannot be read as a standalone. You must read the three previous books to get the full experience of this love story and family drama. End Game starts exactly where Bad Deeds ended. In chaos.

Shane has to figure out a way to save the family business. To get them out of bed with a drug cartel. To make sure the business is legit in all ways. At the same time he has to fight for the love of his life, Emily. He knows she wouldn’t approve of his plans. He has to prove to her that he knows what is best for them. For the business. For his family. He might not like them but he doesn’t want to see them in jail or dead.

I can’t really get into the story for a fear of spoilers. I will say that it was a good conclusion to the series. Questions will be answered. Twists will be had. Suits will be worn. Sex will be hot.

Overall...it’s a sexy, complicated, and intense story. I love that Lisa does a recap in the sequels so I feel caught up without having to go back to the last book to refresh my memory.

Quotes:

“Never threaten a sleep-deprived man’s coffee. It’s dangerous.”

“I didn’t want to fall in love, now or ever,” I admit.

“It’s a chess game, sweetheart,” I say.

End Game brought a lot of pain to some of the characters, with the aftermath of the incredible cliffhanger in Bad Deeds...
I loved the character growth, the depth that was brought to various relationships, and the tension that was so thick it could be cut with a butcher knife.
The suspense was breath-taking, and I had trouble sitting still while reading.

End Game is the final installment to the Dirty Money Series. With even more twists and turns, romance and hot, sexy times, it is an exciting end to the series. Shane Brandon and Emily Stevens continue to be the strong couple they’ve fought hard to be but it doesn’t come without some heartache and tough decision making. Great writing and secondary characters are a plus. End Game is a satisfying conclusion to Brandon and Emily’s story.
