Poison Kisses Part 3 is a last part in the three part novella series and it was truly amazing and page turning read. I Couldn't put it down.

I Highly Recommend this series to all readers.

Poison Kisses part 1 introduces readers to the main characters, Seth and Amanda. They were CIA operatives and partners a few years earlier. Now Seth hates Amanda, Amanda has been in hiding and the two of them must work together again to stop the bad guy.

I thought Seth was a bit one note. I didn't expect major character growth in part one of the serial but I was hoping for a hint of something beyond his anger and hurt. Amanda is a little more well rounded but her innocence is questionable. What I did like about the story is that it was fast moving and the author didn't spend a lot of time on superfluous details. I was able to create a picture in my head of the characters and scenarios.

I will definitely read the next installment. I am looking forward to learning how the characters handle the bad guy. I am also interested in seeing how the author chooses to let Seth grow and change. I recommend this story to anyone that likes contemporary romance, CIA romance and serial stories. This story is written in first person POV.

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.

The suspense is over. Amanda and Seth are going to make what they make of it. I think the waiting for the various parts will put some people off. I myself love it because of course I had all the part to read back to back. This was just good. This was what LRJ does and she does it well. Romantic Suspense from LRj makes you hold tight to your seat. She sets you up and sends you on a thrill ride. It the story, the pacing, the characters, the world she builds, the anticipation of how it all comes together. Amanda and Seth had love for each other. They needed to come back to each other for this all to sink in. They found themselves almost not able to make that second chance work. Deceptions, lies, secrets, murder, attempted murder, multi-players, multi-angles. This one just had a lot going on.

I love everything Lisa Renee Jones writes, but this series didn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong, it is sexy and full of suspense, but it just kind of sounds the same as her most recent books. Maybe I just need a little break and re-read this series. Perhaps I'll have a different view the second time around.

Again we pick up where Part 2 left off only this time we get Amanda’s point of view where we had Seth’s in Part 1 & 2. Part 3 concludes Seth and Amanda’s story by tying up all the threads of their past and present and how they deal with and move on from the things that were keeping them apart. The Poison Kisses serial was a great choice for my first Lisa Renee Jones book and I definitely recommend it if you’re a fan of romantic suspense. You won’t be disappointed.

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)
Poison Kisses: Part 2 (Poison Kisses #2)

This is the conclusion of Amanda and Seth’s story. Love and hate are a fine line. These two have to figure out if it’s a line they hover over or a line they cross. The secrets that sent them on there separate ways before are about to come out will it be the end? When you are forced to choose between life and death which will you choose? When all the enemies are faced will they be who they thought they were? Or will there now be new enemies they never saw coming? Can she kill him before he kills her? When all secrets are revealed, and all the dust settles will lives be lost? Or will love win in the end?

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 series.

Action packed conclusion for this series! Seth and Amanda were fun to read about, all the twists and turns and smoking chemistry! Why I love Lisa Renee Jones!

Wow what an incredible conclusion to this series. The 3rd book begins just where the last one ended. This book is from Amanda's point of view and she is tough! The emotional hits just keep coming and as hard and focused as she's been trained as a CIA agent, in this book Amanda shows us her emotions are not buried but vulnerably seep to the surface. And right there to catch her as she falls is the swoony, mercurial Seth Cage. Seth is a force as he refuses to let anything interfere with a second chance with the only woman he has truly loved. As always, Lisa Renee Jones is masterful in putting all the pieces together. There are many wow moments and twists you didn't see coming as Seth & Amanda work their way through this mystery to get the bad guys and to their HEA.

I was so ready to jump into Part 3 of this series to get the conclusion to this story! We finally get Amanda’s side of the story! This book kept me on my toes and I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next! Lisa always has the perfect mix of suspense, betrayal, lies and lust and many surprises along the way and she always wraps things up so nicely at the end! Another great conclusion to a great series!! Can’t wait to see what Lisa has in store with us next! She’s definitely one of my ‘go to’ authors!

It was so far my favorite part, more interesting, thrilling and finally more answers.

I was waiting for them. I finally get it… most of.

After two long parts, were Amanda and Seth were almost trying not kill each other literally but having tons of hot and angry intercourse, in their mission to save the world. Now it was about time to finally trust and prove that all they felt was real, and mostly worth the fight.

Surprisingly, I got intrigued by another character, who I guess had some story to tell as well. I wanted to get connected to their story but I got distracted sometimes.

This part was well more rounded than the others, I was glad to see Amanda and Seth getting their HEA, not having to look upon their shoulder but finally get the ending they should have years ago.

Amanda and Seth are now running for their lives. Unable to trust that one isn’t trying to kill the other, they stick close as they unravel and piece together this convoluted puzzle. Who’s telling the truth, and what happens when everything reaches the light of day?At least in this one we get to know more Amanda and where she was, finally we have her POV!I thoroughly enjoyed the action packed tale of betrayal and lies!This one is much better than the previous two books!Fast paced and captivating!

Seth and Amanda’s story was finally finalized. This book had suspense and romance and plenty of breathtaking action. I loved how this ended. I loved how everyone got what was deserved. Ms. Jones never disappoints! I voluntarily read an advanced reader cop

Just like the other two parts, part 3 is just as captivating. It's full of action and suspense, while finding just the right amount of that sexy romance we all look for and want.

This is the third book in the new Poison Kisses serial, a spin-off of the Dirty Money series. You will not need to know that series to read this serial. Poison Kisses will need to be read in order.

I loved the suspense and drama of trying to figure out who were the good guys or were there more bad guys hidden among the guys in the white hats. Even Seth said it: "I'm CIA. We do whatever we want and say we didn't."

I love when even adult stories have a moral and this one does… This story is all about trust. Who can you trust? Amanda learns that when you love, you must also trust. Ultimately, if you don’t trust them, can you really say that you love them? My heart is happy at the end and that is all I ask of any romance that I read.

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

I am glad that I had the privilege of reading this series all the way through because I probably would've died if I had to wait to finish figuring out what happens between Seth and Amanda, the threat of Dr. Ross, and who betrayed Amanda and her parents.
If you have been following along, you know Seth is an ex-CIA agent that now works for Shane Brandon (Dirty Money series by the same author) in private security. Three years prior, he falls for another agent, Amanda aka the "Poison Princess", while on an undercover mission that goes wrong at the end. He is now recruited to coerce her to assist in a counterattack against evil Dr. Franklin Ross. Even though she doesn't trust him because of how things ended three years ago, someone has betrayed her and her parents, and she has a hit on her head, she still had to push forward in order to save innocent people from a madman.
Fortunately in this installment of the series, the audience sees Amanda's struggles and vulnerabilities from her POV. Amanda definitely struggles in finally trusting Seth and admitting that she still loves him and finally defeating Dr. Ross. When Amanda stumbles upon evidence that turns her on her ear, Seth is right there for her with his sexy, alpha self, but he is exactly what she needs and they are explosive together.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading LRJ's Poison Kisses series and I cannot wait what she has in store for the fangirl in the future.😍

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.
