The Suspense and Hotness continues in this second part of three part novella series and it's absolutely intriguing, highly suspenseful and page turning read.

Couldn't put this book down. Highly Recommend it to all readers.

So intense and incredible! I couldn’t put it down, this series is so addictive, like seriously!! I need to read more books from this author!

Great continuation of the series. Sexy and hot. Quick read too. Can't wait for the next in the series.

The saga continues on this quick exciting read. This book cannot be read as a standalone and it must be read as it's part of a trilogy.
There was not much development and more questions than answers.
On to book 3!

Danger, suspense, Passion and Cliff hangers those are the things that Lisa specializes in. In Poison Kisses she gives us that in spades. Seth and Amanda are battling their feeling for each other while fighting the feelings of betrayal and the danger that looms over their lives.
This book will quickly become an addiction and leave you wanted and waiting for the next two books in the series.
The passion between Amanda is evident by the first pages in this book making you want to know how their story unfolds.

Because this was a spin off of Lisa Renee Jones' Dirty Money series (which I loved!), I decided to ask for this one. I have to tell you, this one did not work for me. I felt like there were so many details from the Dirty Money series that you had to remember to keep going with the Poison Kisses serial. I was just a fan of this spin off.

Because of this, I will not be leaving a review as I do not think it would be fair to Lisa Renee Jones. I love her work, but this one just didn't work for me this time. I do want to binge read her Dirty Money series again to see if it changes my mind about her Poison Kisses serial, but that will not be anytime soon as I have other books that need my attentions as a blogger.

Yes, there is another cliffhanger but let me tell you this it is so worth it all to read it and get in on what the assasin and scientist a making happen. The past have lead them to this present and what happens next will let us know if they have a future and if so what type of future that will be. LRJ leads you on a set of twist and turns and you turn every page wanting to know what will be next. Watching Amanda and Seth sets you up for so much more to come, but you know you have to wait because there is another part.

Amanda and Seth's story continues in this book. They're still at each other's throats, battling their feelings and figuring out who'll dare pull the trigger first. He's the assassin who thinks she betrayed him, and now he wants payback. He will protect her only because he wants to kill her himself. It's dark and sexy if you ask me!

Lisa Renee Jones has again created a story that kept me intrigued from the beginning. We pick up with Seth and Amanda right where we left off in Part 1 as more is revealed about their history and the case they are currently assigned that affects their relationship and the one thing that comes to light that may tear them apart before the case is done with.

5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has lies, secrets, suspense, and heartbreak. This is a three part story so you need to be prepared to read the all the parts to get answers to all your questions.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Poison Kisses Part 1 (Poison Kisses #1)

This is more of Amanda and Seth’s story. He loved her, but she betrayed and left him. Now is his time to get his revenge. But first they must take out the bad guys. If they must be a little naughty to do it, then that is fine. They need to connect but not to fall again. I mean they are enemies, right? Or are they? The bad guys need to be taken out, but will they end up falling for each other while taking out the trash? A little naughty fun never hurt anyone right? They can get the revenge they need later right? Or are they about to just lose each other?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

OMG!! OMG!! a I love love this series...awaiting then next book. Great writing style and the sheet are on fire!

Freaking cliffies how I loath thee!

2 picks up where 1 ends, you get a little more, you get a lot of the back and forth with the two character's. A decent installment in the series the kept my attention and, was a quick read. The character's are hot/cold but all in all, likable. This is definitely one wild ride!!!

She's keeping on my toes! This book picks up right where the first one left off and now some of the pieces are coming together. I can't wait to find out what happens with these two!

Wow Part 2 takes off, grabs you and brings the story of Seth & Amanda to an incredible edge! After they both realize that their intense love for each hasn’t changed over the last 3 years, Seth & Amanda push past their doubts and focus on the imminent threat and also to uncover how they were both betrayed. Important glimpses of the past help fill the pieces of the puzzle. Just when things seem to be going well, information is disclosed that could blow these two apart or leave one of them dead! Can’t wait for Part 3!!!

It was time to get the answers, after some years apart, well I was waiting …

I hate you/ I love you side of the story was just a bit irritating at times and definitely going on circles. As we followed them into their mission, I was expecting more development. And I didn’t find it.

The thing is, as a novella, things are condensed for sure and I think the length of story didn’t serve Amanda and Seth, and the sense of being directly involved could have been great but it needed more development, more time to make it more believable.

Amanda and Seth were trying to trust each other again, but how could they make it possible, when everything seemed to tear them apart? Bringing more suspicion and resentment.

Once again, it was really repetitive. The answers came a little too late but the ending was definitely more interesting.

Great series, this continues the story of Amanda Skye and Seth Cage and starts from where the previous book left us. Amanda and Seth are still trying to deal with their feelings of desire, attraction, betrayal and secrets.In this book we now know why Amanda disappeared and are left with several more questions. As this story shows glimpses into their past, Amanda and Seth truly loved each other and now in the present, that loved hasn’t died even though that love is being tested. They are being tested and are having to learn to trust each other all over, after what happened 3 years before. I think I liked this one a little bit more than the previous book!

Action and Suspense has always been a part of LRJ high impact romances. But this time around- WOW the sex is sizzling and hot. The only place Seth and Amanda feels safe to be themselves and not constantly look over their shoulder – is in flight. Yes baby, we are talking about a lot of Mile High Club action. Poison Kisses Part Two is a turbulent ride that does not give you a moment to sit back and buckle in. The action is pumping and the sex is dreamy. Seth and Amanda are everything you want in a couple with deadly banter. And the best supporting character of the story: Julie the cat. I love Seth’s interaction with Julie the Cat.
With Seth and Amanda on the hunt to track down Franklin Ross, the ex-CIA turned terrorist, the romance has heated back up! As highly skilled operatives they are dedicated to stopping the deadly toxin releasing in the water supply. Faced with what may be the most personal and deadly mission yet , Seth and Amanda join forces with Bear, their handler despite doubts of trusting him. Seth still doesn’t know who issued the kill order on Amanda and her family, however they have decided in order to complete the mission , they must trust each other. With this trust they fall back into the easy fray of love, sex and more sex. Its packed with sensual heat.
Seth is racing to clear his name with Amanda. Plus, he has some explaining to do when Amanda is faced with another harsh reality.

This is the second book in the new Poison Kisses serial, a spin-off of the Dirty Money series. They will need to be read in order. You do not need to know anything about the Dirty Money series to enjoy this one.

OMG, that ending! I could feel Seth’s panic; I could feel Amanda’s despair. I’m telling you. I was lying in bed with a heart monitor on and I’m worried now about what the doctor will say!

I cannot wait to get to the final truth and their HEA. They love each other, you just know they do; they just have to get past the BS from other people! At least, I hope it’s b.s. and I hope it’s other people…. Sitting on pins and needles and opening book three right now!

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

The author has kept me guessing in this short series but now we’ve reached the conclusion of their story.

Seth and Amanda know the truth of their past and now they have to focus on the security of the country.
A story full of twists and revelations. Lisa knows how to build the tension and keep the reader invested in the story.

4 stars!

*Poison Kisses: Part Two is the second part of Seth and Amanda’s story. It cannot be read as a standalone and contains spoilers for Poison Kisses: Part One.

Part Two picks up immediately after Part One ends. We now know and understand why Amanda disappeared and are left with several questions. Even though Seth and Amanda still feel the betrayal from before, the lust and love that is still between them is heating up. But before they can deal with their past, they need to figure out how to focus on taking down Dr. Franklin Ross.

When the book begins, the anger and hurt between Seth and Amanda is still very much alive and gaining each other’s trust seems like an impossible feat. However, as they open up to each other two different sides unfold and we slowly see the pieces of the past come together. The mystery and suspense is captivating, and I wanted desperately to know why things happened the way they did, who Seth and Amanda can trust, and who lurks in the background as new players seem to enter the game.

Trying to stop Dr. Ross puts Amanda and Seth together in intimate quarters and feelings from the past are front and center as they try to work through their complicated relationship. The sexual tension is palpable and there is no way they can deny the pull they’ve felt from the moment they met. The spark that once exploded between them years ago is now just as intense, passionate, and present as ever.

"'Yes,' she whispers and then we’re kissing, crazy-hot kissing, drinking each other in, like we’re never going to get a drink again. And maybe we won’t. Maybe one of us will die before this night is over. But that’s how we always fucked and loved. Like there would be no tomorrow."

I loved the way Seth and Amanda open up and the commitment to making their relationship work; however, just like in Part One, there is a major cliffhanger at the end that screws up everything. Up until this point we have seen Seth’s side of the story first-hand from his point-of-view. After the jaw-dropping bomb that is delivered, we are left questioning everything and Amanda needs answers. Finally, we will get to see Amanda’s point-of-view in the conclusion to the Poison Kisses trilogy. Part Three here I come!

Just a little side note: I love the way Lisa Renee Jones does a recap of the series so far as more books are released. It refreshes your memory so you can dive into the next book without forgetting what happened before.
