#ReleaseBlitz: A Sinful Encore by Lisa Renee Jones; #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live



Title: A Sinful Encore
Series: The Brilliance Trilogy #3
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: September 22, 2020

ABOUT A SINFUL ENCORE:

You only thought you knew how this was going to end, but their story is far from over. The explosive finale is bound to leave you breathless.

A Sinful Encore is the third and final book in the Brilliance Trilogy.

BUY A SINFUL ENCORE:


EXCERPT:

I swallow hard, my lashes lower, my lips dry. Me and him. It’s just me and him and God, I do need the escape and I know, I just know, that he needs the trust. Still, I can’t believe I’m going to do this. I can’t believe how much I want to do this. “Yes.” 

He doesn’t speak but I can feel his approval wash over me. He kisses my neck, the earthy scent of him seducing me and promising to test my limits. He unzips my skirt, and a second later, he’s sliding it down my hips, and with only a tiny pair of panties and thigh-high tights on, he’s easily exposing my naked backside. Nerves and anticipation overwhelm me and I’m all but shaking, but I don’t feel fear. His fingers caress down the silk strip between my cheeks and I yelp as he yanks it away with a biting tug. But already, he’s made me forget that bite. 

His hands are on my backside and he leans in, his lips close, so very close to my ear, his warm breath fanning my skin, and promising forbidden fantasies I didn’t even know to call my own until now. 

“What are you thinking, Aria?” he asks, the same way he’d asked me one time before when I was in the wrong place when I needed an escape. 

“About us, Kace. About what you’re going to do to me.” 

He turns me to face him, his expression pure possession, his eyes meeting mine. And I could swim forever in the sea of his blue eyes, as every wave breaking around me only sends me crashing right back to him. “What am I going to do to you?” he asks as if he needs to know I can say it as if he needs to know I want this. 

I wet my parched lips and say, “Spank me.” 

“And do you want me to spank you?” The question is a mixed challenge and a raw seduction. 

Suddenly, I’m drowning in my own confusing desire, and my lashes lower, heat rushing to my cheeks when his hand cups my face and he tilts his gaze back to his. “Do you,” he says, enunciating the words, “want me to spank you?” 

“I want to get out of my head. I want to escape. I want you.” 

His eyes darkens. “That’s not an answer.” 

The waves are breaking again and when I might drown, I don’t. I really do crash right back into him. “Yes.” 

“Yes? Yes what, Aria?” 

“I want you to spank me.” 

His eye light with approval and that approval splays over me like blessed sunshine in the chilly snowfall. I don’t know why his approval arouses or pleases me, I don’t know what that says about me, or him for that matter, but there is no denying the burn in my belly. There is no denying his control, and my submission sends a thrill through me like no other. His hands fit my waist, possessiveness in his touch, a branding that feels right when with anyone else it would be wrong. His cheek presses to my cheek, the roughness of his newly formed stubble an erotic pinch on my sensitive skin. “Who’s in control?” 

“I am,” I say, and I mean it. This is about choice. I know that when I say yes or no to with Kace, he will listen. “And right now, for just a little bit, I don’t want it,” I add, and for once in my life, I mean it. “Take it,” I add softly. “It’s yours.”

#ReleaseBlitz: A Wicked Song by Lisa Renee Jones; #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live, #Review


Title: A Wicked Song
Series: The Brilliance Trilogy #2
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: August 18, 2020
Rating:  4.5 Stars
Told in the first person.
Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".



ABOUT A WICKED SONG

Kace August: famous, intense, dark, addictive. Aria Alard: a woman with secrets, passion, and a dangerous past. 

Passion. Secrets. Mystery. Aria fell hard for Kace. She trusted him. But did he deserve that trust? And where is Gio?

A Wicked Song is the second book in the Brilliance Trilogy.

BUY A WICKED SONG



My Thoughts:

The author has written an important note to her readers that’s not to be missed.  Her explanation is within the first paragraph.  If you have not read Reckless Note then you don’t want to continue past that – spoiler alert within.  This book continues where the first book left off – this is not a standalone.

Aria starts our adventure right from the start.  It grabs our attention and doesn’t let go.  What does this author have in store for her characters?  She creates scenes that I can hear playing out in my head.  Aria voices questions that I would ask if I could.  She’s added in characters that had their own story so once you meet them, if you haven’t had the chance to read about them now would be a good time to change that.

By the author using Aria as our narrator, Kace stays something of a mystery.  We’re kind of left in the dark where he’s concerned.  He’s like a musical piece that need to build to just the right moment.  We rely on Aria’s impressions and interactions to fill in the void.  We have a silent secondary character that is important to the mystery that has been created.  How will he fit in to what’s going on?

It’s because of him that it is very hard to put this book down.  But there’s a sad part to all this.  Our author has done it again.  We’re left at the top of a cliff wondering “why?” and “how long?”  The good thing is that hopefully those questions will get answered soon.  Until then we will have to patiently wait and see about getting off that cliff.



EXCERPT:

“I want you,” he says. “Just you.”

“How do I know that?”

A low, frustrated sound escapes his lips and he drops the medication bag, and spikes fingers into my hair, a low curse escaping his lips. His eyes meet mine, and the depth of the emotion he then spikes in me steals my breath. Before I can catch it again, he’s breathing for me. His mouth slants over my mouth, his tongue licking a wicked, seductive note against my tongue. And despite my injured hand and my burdened heart, I melt the way I always melt for this man. I melt and I moan, and when he tears his mouth from mine, I am panting.

“That is how you know,” he declares. “We are connected, you and me. We both feel it.”

“All that says is that I want you and that I have the potential to be foolish because of that desire, but I won’t live up to that potential, Kace.”

“How do I know you aren’t after my money?”

I blanch. “Because I’m not. You know I’m not.”

“Can you prove it?”

“You know I’m not,” I repeat.

His hands come down on my shoulders and he pulls back to look at me as he says, “I do know you, but that still requires me trusting you and I’ve had plenty of reasons in my life not to offer you that trust. Reasons you don’t know. Many reasons, Aria. Many betrayals. But I give you my trust anyway. I’m not after the formula, but all I have to offer is my word. You have to decide if you trust me.”

My hand settles on his chest, and his heart beats a rowdy song beneath my palm. “I’m very confused right now,” I confess, and it’s as honest as I have ever been with him or me. “And my head is spinning.”

His hand covers my hand on his chest. “Then let me take care of you. Let me take you home.”

There is a library filled with books the size of all the reasons I should say no, but even as I have that thought, he says, “Don’t say no.”

Words he’s said to me every moment of indecision I’ve ever shared with him. And right or wrong, like every time before, I don’t say no. I say, “Yes.”

Candi Kane PR Presents: A Reckless Note by Lisa Renee Jones; #BlogTour, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live, #Review



A RECKLESS NOTE 
The Brilliance Trilogy #1 
by Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: June 23rd
Rating:  4.5 Stars
Told in the first person.

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Candi Kane PR and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

He makes me want things I can’t have and brings me into a world of forbidden seduction. But I just can't seem to walk away.

Book one in the Brilliance Trilogy.

My Thoughts:

The author has written a note to her readers.  It’s a little information that lets us know a little bit about her creativity/inspiration in writing this book.  She’s also created a Playlist for your enjoyment.

Aria gets us ready for what is to come.  There’s a mystery afoot and by having us listen to her thoughts I thought it was a great way to set things in motion.  Kace August is a man who leaves an impression.  As these two share scenes, you can start to feel a tension begin to build.

As I was getting to know him, I found myself getting more curious about the person behind his inspiration.  That was the point where I decided to get away from the author’s playlist and start listening to “Kace’s” music in the background.  If you’re the curious type, check out “Dangerous” on YouTube.

Our author is very good about taking our mind off the mystery she’s been building on.  You’ll find that when you least expect it that she’ll either give you a reminder or a hint – and sometimes a little bit of both.  There are also ties to a previous series.  It’s something you may want to investigate first.  If you don’t want to wait, that is in no way needed to enjoy this latest work.  But if you get curious as to who they are and what their story is than at the very least you can go back and check them out at a later time.  After all this is a mystery so why not get your Sherlock Holmes hat on and go investigate.

It seems as if Aria is our lone main character.  At times Kace seems as if he might be but then he seems to hide in the background just like a secondary character.  At times the mystery seems to have a bigger role than he does.  And that’s what makes this a great page-turner.  Then we have a second mystery as to how do all these characters seem to connect.  That makes for quite a puzzle and how good are you at putting the pieces together?  You may have to be patient though because sometimes a puzzle has a lot of pieces to it and after all this is only book one of a trilogy.

Excerpt:

I kiss him with abandon, with passion. I kiss him with my own demand, and then he tears his mouth from mine and backs me up until I’m pressed against his grand piano. “What are you doing to me?” he demands.

“This,” I say, pressing my hands under his T-shirt.

In reply, he tugs the shirt over his head and tosses it aside. “Is that what you want?”

“Yes,” I say with no hesitation, my hand caressing the musical notes on his arm, tattoos that say he claims who he is, he embraces who he is. I want this man. I give myself permission to own my desires the way he owns me just by being in the same room as me. And I’m not afraid of that. Not here. Not now. Not this night.

He grips the piano behind me, “Do you know what I want, Aria?”

There’s an edge to him again now, a dark edge that shouldn’t appeal to me, but it does, it so does. I ask the question he’s demanded. “What do you want, Kace?”

“Too much,” he says. “Too much, Aria.”

He means it. It’s in this moment that I understand the hot and cold I’ve experienced with this man is far more than I realized. He wants me. He doesn’t want to want me. He doesn’t believe I should be here. My defenses flare and my hand presses to his bare chest. “Why am I here then? You don’t want me here.”

“I want you, Aria. Very much. Too much. That’s the point.”

“But you don’t want me here.”

He cups my face and stares down at me, the hardness, somehow tender. “I do very much want you here.”

“You’re confusing me.”

“The feeling is mutual, baby,” he says, his voice thick with emotion that I don’t understand, that I’m not sure I’ll ever understand. But it moves me. He moves me and I reach up and cup his hand on my face.

“What are we doing, Kace?” I whisper.

He leans in and brushes his lips over my lips, a feather-light seduction that trembles through me. “This.” His mouth closes down on mine and his tongue licks past my teeth, a long, deep stroke that is seduction and power, passion, and dominance. I’m panting when his lips part from mine, linger there, his finger stroking my cheek.

“You, woman,” he murmurs, a hint of torment in his voice. “You are going to be my undoing.”

I don’t know what that means, and I don’t have time to analyze it anyway. Not when he reaches up and catches the zipper at the front of my dress, and heat pools low in my belly, every inch of me alive. I am alive with this man, a ball of nerves and desire like I have never known. Slowly, so very slowly, he lowers it, but his gaze is locked with my gaze. The zipper slides past my belly and halts at the top of my thighs.

His hands settle at my waist, and he leans in and kisses me. I can taste that dark edge on his tongue again, I can taste the demand, the absolute control. In this moment, I remain acutely aware of how much that control arouses me, how much it calls to me.

His lips leave mine, the hunger in his stare ravenous, but I have this sense that this is still about control to him—he allows me to see this. His control is a need, an absolute need that I understand. It’s the kind of need that we aren’t born with. It’s created. I find myself in contradiction to what I need, in wanting to give him what he wants. I am in fact wet and trembling with the idea of giving him the control.

But that means trust, the kind of trust that has left me alone and that I give no one.

And yet I am here with him. Haven’t I already made the decision to trust him, not with my secrets, but with my body?

His hands go to my shoulders, sliding under my dress, scooting the straps halfway down my arms. He captures me with the material, holds me with one hand, but I’m not thinking about being held captive. I’m thinking about his lips lingering above mine again, his breath a warm tease that promises a taste that does not come. He doesn’t kiss me. I want him to kiss me, I want it so badly that it hurts.

But still, he doesn’t.

He pulls back, his gaze lowering to the swell of my breasts, his fingers stroking the sensitive skin just above the black lace of my bra, my nipples puckering beneath the silk. His gaze lifts to mine and he catches the front clasp of my bra. He shoves aside the cups, his attention returning to my breasts, and my lashes lower with the heat of his inspection, a wave of unexpected shyness overtaking me. He has this way of making me feel owned and it’s intense, so very intense.
