WARNING, WARNING, WARNING.... This book is a MAJOR cliffhanger!!!!!

I have not read any of Lisa Renee Jones work before. Since one of the things that I love as a blogger is discovering authors that I have not read before. I jumped on the chance to read Lisa Renee's new series, Dirty Money. As I was reading Hard Rules (Dirty Money #1), I was blown away!

I am not even sure where to start with this review. Anything that I write will give away some of the plot.... I knew very quickly into Hard Rules that I was facing a major cliffhanger. I was so right. I will say this, Lisa Renee Jones does a great job with her blurb for Hard Rules. That is all you need to know in order to read Hard Rules.

I loved the instant chemistry between Shane and Emily. It's intense!

"I want you to leave with me, but be clear. That means I will f*ck you every possible way, with the full intent of ensuring that I'm the man you compare all others to."
Lisa Renee Jones, Hard Rules (Dirty Money #1)

Hot- Hot- Hot!!!

The mystery that is Emily will be fun to read as this series plays itself out. I am looking forward to see how this series continues. I need this series to continue, right now!

Thank you Lisa Renee Jones for allowing me read Hard Rules prior to its release. I am so happy that I took a chance on your writing. Sorry for the shortness of this review. I feel like I would spoil things for readers if I going into detail... I look forward to diving into more of your work. You have a fan for life!

Well the blogger slump is at it again. For those of you who dont know what a blogger slump is…well, I’ll inform you what it is for me. No matter what book, author, type, genre…I just can’t seem to really get attached, and fall in love with a book. Its not that I dont like the book, because I did, I just didn’t love it. The storyline was intriguing and interesting, both the primary and secondary characters developed well throughout the story. There was love, and drama, a resolution to the conflict, but there was just something that held me back from giving it that all important 5 star rating. I blame the slump. I really feel this is a book my followers will enjoy, as I did. I think once I find my way out of the slump, I will give it a re-read.

The first in an all new series, and what a start! The Brandon family could give the Ewings a run for their money. This book focuses on Shane, a son with a shady family and corrupt family business to contend with. He's trying to undo the damage of his father and brother. Emily is a new employee and a woman who has her own secrets. There is romance, steaminess, mystery, and humor. The cliffhanger ending left me wanting more and I cannot wait for this series to continue.
