So, we come to the climatic end of Shane and Emily’s intensely emotional and drama-filled story. It’s only been a few months since Bad Deeds released back in August, but it felt much longer. The wait has been torturous but so worthwhile to finally get my hands on End Game. Please be aware, this is not a stand alone, you need to read the previous 3 books before starting this one or you will be completely lost.

End Game picks up right where Bad Deeds finished, where the hammer was ready to fall and all hell about to be let loose and it did. Terribly, horribly and in the worst way possible. Shane was left reeling in the aftermath, not knowing whether is brother or Emily would survive.
Adrian being the pr*** he was, did his best to make things go his way.
There are so many twists and turns, counter-measures and back-stabbing it made my head spin. No one deserves a pair of parents quite like poor Shane has be lumbered with. From his deceitful, bed-hopping mother to his conniving, womanizing father it’s a wonder the man is such a great catch.
Yeah, he has his dark moments, he wants to make Adrian pay and who can blame him.
I can’t really get into any more of the story as it would give too much away, but suffice it to say, if you’re read Hard Rules, Damage Control and Bad Deeds then you’ll want to read this.
I loved this book so, so much and I’m sad to see it go. But, there is a little pot of gold at the end of the Dirty Money rainbow. Seth and Jessica are getting their own books. So, we’ll have so insight to what happens next.

This is the conclusion to Shane and Emily's story. It makes me sad because I really loved these characters. I would continue reading them as long as Lisa wrote them. That being said, this was an epic conclusion full of twists and surprises that I didn't see coming. This was a great series. Suspenseful, sexy and romantic and I definitely hope to read more from some of the other characters in the story.

This was an amazing read and the last book in Lisa Renee Jones Dirty Money series. However, there will be a spin off with Seth which I'm looking forward to reading. Plus, Lisa mentions at the end of this book that she "may" revisit Shane and Emily and maybe write something with Jessica and Cody. This book picks up where the last one left off and you find out quickly what happened to Derrick and Emily. This book will instill a lot of emotions and you will need tissues! I love the relationship between Emily and Shane and I'm sad to see the end of this story. I received an advance copy of this book from the author and publisher and this is my honest and voluntary review.

ARC received for review

Final installment in the adventures and love of Shane and Emily......or is it?

There was adventure, tears, more drama and hot sex. It was amazing in places, but felt rushed in other places. The ending felt like it wasn't a HEA, but HEA for now. Even the author in her end notes says she may revisit them, so who knows.

Ms. Jones does promise us Seth's story and Jessica with her spicy Latin eye candy.

The Dirty Money series will leave you holding your breath and lusting for Shane! Lisa Renee Jones is a master of edge of your seat reading! Elizabeth @ White Hot Reads

Shane and Emily are in for some curves in the finale for this series. Tragedy strikes the heart of our hero, but what he does with it truly makes the man. What will Shane become a Monster or a Man? This is the story that end it all and we all love the End Game!!

The End Games is just what it is. THE END!!! Lisa Renee Jones ended this series perfectly.

This book consumed me from the start. Shane not knowing if Emily or Derek were going to survive and the fallout of what happened at the restaurant with Martina. Things take an interesting turn through out the book and you keep wondering what will happen next.

I have truly loved reading about all the Brandon's!!!!!

End Game is the perfect ending to the Dirty Money Series. Lisa Renee Jones keeps the reader on there toes from the beginning to the series to the very last page!

In the last book of the series, we start off exactly where we left off at the end Bad Deeds... and it's EXPLOSIVE! I refuse to give any details so that I don't spoil anything, but let me tell you, I was almost screaming at my kindle.

You guys, this is the BEST series I've read from LRJ. It's layered, mysterious, sexy, fun and full of twists and turns we (the readers) never see coming! She's found her niche in the Romantic Suspense world!

It seems like yesterday I was introduced to Emily and Shane. My first impression was that Shane was misguided and Emily was nothing but trouble. I thought she was betraying Shane and perhaps in kahoots with someone else to take down the Brandon family. There was so much going on and the growing pains to get to End Game were well worth it!

We have the conclusion to Emily and Shane's story. There is still some heartbreak, but you will also get a bit of the healing within this story. I am still surprised, even if I knew better, how Shane's parents still treat him. Like he was never much until they needed him. The ending was beautiful and very non traditional. Lisa's note at the end gives me so much hope. There are plenty characters in this story that need their voices to be heard and I cannot wait!

I was completely enamored with End Game. Shane will stay with me for days, weeks, and years to come. He has that alpha aura and knows what needs to be done. I love Emily's transition to her own life. Don't worry readers, you will still get the sexy and it seems so much hotter! I know that this is the End Game for Shane and Emily, but it sure is not checkmate just yet!

"You like me dirty."

What an epic conclusion to the Dirty Money series. The author threw in, even more, twists and turns and made the hair-raising End Game something to remember.

Shane left his successful legal practice in New York to go home and attempt to save his family legacy, Brandon Enterprises. With his brother bringing danger to their door and his father encouraging him, it was taking everything he had to try to turn things around before it was too late. With Emily by his side, they work to uncover secrets and determine who all the players are. Knowing that trusting the wrong people can be deadly.

And let's not forget that Emily has her own demons to battle. A past that threatens her future with the man she loves. As the suspense builds so does their passion. They fall deeper and it gets hotter and hotter.

So many exciting events take place during this final book. But I can't tell you without ruining the surprises, so you will just have to read it and find out for yourselves. I'm looking forward to whatever the author has for us next. The line forms here...

This is the epic ending to the Dirty Money series and man was is ever!! Shane and Emily story continues where it left off with both Derek and Emily in transport to the hospital, this book took you on the journey with emotional twist and turns, some of which was gut wrenching and others not so much but what gets me is the turning point will Emily and Shane get what they want out of life? Or will the cartel get what they want or will his family? In order to find out whether Shane and Emily will get there happily ever after you need to read the final chapter in the Dirty Money series End Game!!
