Lisa Renee Jones always has a bit of mystery and suspense weaved in her storylines....and I absolutely love them! This was no exception! My customers are going to love this, as they do her other stories!

Just finished this book and I cannot believe that it ended that way. I enjoyed it. Im not really a fan of Emma. Something about her just annoys me but I love her and Jax together. Ugh...i can't wait for the next book. I'm so impatient but I know it'll be worth the wait. Lisa is amazing at that.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Emma Knight is a twenty eight year old heiress to the Knights Hotels which is a worldwide hotel chain. Her brother Chase rules the hotel empire and her mother fled to Europe after her father’s death, for reasons few knew. But Jax knew. Emma who was standing next to randall Montgomery , her brother’s right hand and confident. He’s a man on Jax’s radar. He wants emma and her money. She is the farthest down the food chain. No doubt she inherited with her father’s death but Jax wouldn’t be shocked she was given a token token instead of a goldmine Emma is there to accept a philanthropy award on his behalf. Chance is curiously absent. If he were there, Jax wouldn’t be. He nor any of the North family could stand her father not that Jax found her brother anymore palatable. Emma has had Jax’s attention for quite awhile. Jax is the eldest of the living North family. Offsprings, the man who watches her. An irony Emma will understand soon. Jax is here in this hotel for one reason: Emma . She’s here and it’s long past due they meant. It’s long past due she learns about the connection between her family and his. He’d seen Eric Mitchell who was a genius. He’s also V P of one of the largest corporations in the world. The man was born a savant, who sees numbers more than words. Jax mentioned having lunch tomorrow and Eric said he could make that happen. The Knight name is all about luxury and comfort, but it’s core, it’s all about greed. Jax is about the speech emma is giving and the pain at its core. The pain is why he is here. Than Emma comes into the bar alone when voices sound behind her, she peeks over her shoulder and with a panicked look, she darts in his direction. To his surprise and jax doesn’t surprise easily - she slips into the booth with him and pulls the curtain closed. She says” so sorry” “ I need to avoid a conversation and well a moment or ten. The only way to do that is to be having a private meeting that looks as if it’s just that: private, not to be disturbed.” She takes his glass and downs his whiskey . interesting, she didn’t tun to Randall for comfort, but in fact ran away from him. There is a charge between them, an awareness that parts her lips and has her turning away from Jax. “I’ll buy that bottle of whiskey for you,” she says “ for letting me intrude.” a statement that either proves she has no idea who he is or that she’s playing the way a Knight will play. Jax said “Considering I’m a North and that’s North whiskey” She says “ You’re jax north.” She blinks. “Of course you are. You look like the North family.” Jax had lost his father to a ski accident a year ago next week, and his brother Hunter six months ago next month. He leaves out the cause of death. This isn’t a place either of them wants him to go with the Knight family tonight. She said she was a bad drinker. Jax said he will catch her if she fell. She said” Don’t start this relationship by making promises you won’t even try to keep.” She said “never.” jax said” Never. Which is something my friends value and my enemies dread.” Than Emma said” Do you have many enemies?” Jax said “ A man or woman with money and power always have enemies.” He finds he wants Emma to listen, really wanting to protect her, which is a contradiction to everything he would do otherwise where the Knights were concerned. Emma decides to get away calls an Uber and lightly packs . As she gets in the car she sees jax. He was looking for her she knows, Emma feels it in her soul, once she gets involved with jax there is no turning back. And there is no question . No question of coming back from where he takes her. There is no recovery from what Jax North would do to her. Jax lets her go. It’s not their time, he wants Emma too much. That wasn’t part of the plan. Emma had found her father’s journal and reads it and it shows her that her father was really full of deceit and evil. She has to find out what her father was up to.
I really loved this book. But it’s a 4.5 for me because it ended in a cliffhanger and I hate that. Usually I take a full point off my ratings but this was that good. Jax and Emma have hot chemistry. I loved the fast pace and plot. I loved the suspense, drama, and danger. I was drawn into this book in the beginning and stayed there until the end. But again disappointed by the cliffhanger. I loved emma and Jax together. I loved how protective jax becomes of Emma. At times this book had me at the edge of my seat. I didn’t want to put this down. I loved the characters and the twists and turns of this book and I recommend it.

I just wrote another review cursing Lisa Renee Jones for her cliffhangers and that book's ending was nothing compared to this one. Jones can leave you wondering better than any other writer I regularly read. It's exciting and frustrating every damn time.

Jax is hot, nice and in charge. Emma has her share of chutzpah and both are large and in charge in their family's companies. I liked them immensely. Jones excels at creating intense stories with all kinds of intrigue and this book is another stellar example of this talent. I really enjoyed watching the relationship progress between these two. They're well suited and their attraction so intense.

There are so many secrets though and they threaten the businesses, the relationships and these two's very existence.

I cannot wait to find out what comes next.

There’s something about the atmosphere of this book that seriously reminds me of the author’s “A Perfect Lie”. A woman buried by the secrets she’s forced to keep, most of them not her own. A sweeping backdrop of family intrigue and betrayal. A man who may be exactly what he seems or might be nothing more than another betrayal in a long line of them. One thing I can say Lisa Renee Jones does with skill and flair is to create labyrinthine rabbit-warrens of double-crosses and conspiracies leaving the reader dazed and confused at the end of the book, wondering just which way is up. And with the cliff hanger this book ends on – literal and figurative – I’m desperate to know what happens next.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley.

Emma Knight and Jax North. An unexpected pair with great chemistry. Two broken individuals trying to deal with recent family losses. Rival families, mystery, revenge and love...this book will grab your attention quickly and leave you hanging. Great start to this trilogy!

It's been a while since I've read Lisa Renee Jones. Just happen to come across this baby and thought yeah I like her writing.

This one started a tad slow for me a little repeadative but I'm glad I finished. The ending really picked up. I totally wasn't expecting the ending. I was only at 88% and that was it!

Jax actually made the story for me, Emma's character was a tad weak for my liking.

It was overall an ok read. However, I probably won't read the rest in the series.

A review of the book has been published, German review is following:

Zu viele Hintergrundgeräusche

Die Bücher von Lisa Renee Jones sieht man ja seit einigen Jahren überall, ich habe eines ihrer ersten Bücher gelesen, da es mich aber nicht umgehauen hat, habe ich in den letzten Jahren nichts neues mehr gelesen. Das hat sich aber vor kurzem geändert, denn ich habe beschlossen gleich zweien ihrer Bücher eine Chance zu geben, "The One" ist eines davon. Große Erwartungen hatte ich an das Buch nicht, ich wollte gut unterhalten werden, mehr nicht.

Nachdem ich "The One" gelesen habe, bin ich nicht zu 100 % zufrieden. Die Geschichte ist intensiv, das hat mir auch gut gefallen. Allerdings wirkt alles sehr konstruiert und es gibt im Buch zu viele Hintergrundelemente, die mich zum Kopf schütteln gebracht haben. Weniger wäre vielleicht mehr gewesen. Zudem gibt es einige Szenen im Buch, die bei mir einen faden Nachgeschmack hinterlassen haben. Außerdem bin ich mit den Charakteren nicht richtig warm geworden.
Ich denke, dass die Bücher der Autorin von ihrer Grundausrichtung für mich einen Tick zu dramatisch sind. Wer das mag und auch mit verworrenen Hintergrundgeschichten, die nicht immer Sinn machen, kein Problem hat, könnte das Buch gut finden.

Loved reading the fabulous and awesome first book in the Naked Trilogy series. Jax has one goal on his agenda, to find out who and why his brother was murdered. He pretends to start a relationship with Emma to discover what she knows about her family and the plot against his brother, but his feelings for her become all too real. Jax and Emma want to find the truth but both of them are playing a dangerous game. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, full of suspense and action, and a must read love story. Can't wait to read the second book in the series.
I reviewed a copy of the book through NetGalley.

The first in the Naked Trilogy, One Man, is a sexy, hot, suspenseful romance. A great introduction, I loved the characters and the well delivered story, well maybe not the cliffhanger (only kidding). I don’t normally read three part stories, but Lisa Renee Jones delivers them perfectly and keeps me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next installment.

I found this story engrossing and had so many questions. Some were answered before the end of part 1 ( wish /I had know that this was to be continued)

One Man is a great start to a new trilogy by Lisa Renee Jones filled with romance, intrigue, and suspense. There are plenty of secrets to still be revealed in the story. Book one really only scratched the surface and set up the story line for the other books in the series. With that said there is a huge cliff hanger that has me clamoring for the next book. I did find the book a little difficult to follow who was talking but I still really enjoyed the novel!

One Man, Jax North is on a mission for his brother against the Knight family. Lo and behold he falls for Emma whose last name is... yes you guessed it Knight! Good plot and I liked the two characters however did feel that in some parts the book was repetitive, it felt very rushed at times especially their connection and that they are going to remain together despite what awful news comes out.

The steamy scenes were only ok maybe because it was very rushed between them I didn't buy into it.

Will I read on in the series? Not sure that I will if I'm honest.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy in exchange for a honest review.

Cute book and easy to read. Story was good and solid. A little slow to start but picked up by the third chapter.

I loved this, amazing chemistry between the characters, well written and a fabulous story. Just one complaint I have to wait for the next after that cliffhanger, not fair ! A hugely entertaining read

Grieving her father's death that was a little over a month ago, Emma Knight, Heiress to the Knight hotel empire, finds herself needing an escape from life in general. Jax North, owner of North Whiskey, know exactly what she's feeling. He also lost his dad not too long ago, and to top it off, he thinks his brother's recent death was suspicious. Feeling that Emma's family had something to do with his brother's death, Jax is trying to get close to her, what he wasn't counting on was their explosive chemistry.

I'll be honest, it took me a few chapters to really get into this book. Once the story started to develop beyond Jax and Emma's chemistry, it grabbed me. Poor Emma, to have everything she thought she knew about the man who raised her to be false, broke my heart. I don't want to say too much because spoilers, but, there were several twists and turns, and a big fat cliffhanger. I can't wait to see were this story goes.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.

Loved it, the chemistry between Jax and Emma is kismet as Jax wades into deep waters when he realizes he’s more than attracted to Emma. He finds himself stepping out his comfort zone early in to the story as Emma brings out his protective nature.

What did I like? I liked the mysterious air around Emma, you can tell she’s been through a lot but the author just teases us. The chemistry between the two are hot and that cliffhanger wetted my appetite for more!

Would I buy this book? Yes, even though it has a cliffhanger and I hate waiting but the book was a joy.

Thoughts for the author? Hope One Woman comes soon, I’m dying!

One Man is tough for me to review just because I liked it but then I didn’t.

What I absolutely loved was the romance between Emma and Jax. Swoon. The couple just fits and you are rooting for them from beginning to end. I can’t wait to see how their dynamic grows with all of their family drama.

Now on to what I didn’t like, I felt like the story was going in a constant loop. That just might be me, but it took a little bit of determination to get past the parts that weren’t focused on the relationship of Emma and Jax. It felt dragged out at times especially since the story goes day by day with a bunch of info all thrown together.

Overall I thought it was a decent day read. I’m excited to see how the story unfolds in the next two books.

Thanks for the advanced copy Netgalley!

One man can change everything. That man can touch you and you tremble all over. That man can wake you up and allow you to breathe when life leaves you unable to catch your breath. When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Lisa Renee Jones is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

I received a free copy of One Man from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have mixed feelings about this book.
The only reason I finished reading this book was because I was so eager to know what exactly happened and it ended in a cliffhanger.
Many subjects were repeated often. It felt like I was reading the same sentence over and over.
It seemed a bit farfetched that Jax and Emma connected so quickly and started plotting.
There was no breathing room for the characters, no space to develop and let the story unfold naturally.

I'm a bit disappointed to be honest. I don't think I'll be reading the next book in the series.
