Provocative (White Lies Book One)
by Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: April 18th
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Book Description:
Book one in the sexy and intense new White Lies duet by Lisa Renee Jones!
There are those moments in life that are provocative in their very existences, that embed in our minds forever, and sometimes our very souls. They change us, mold us, maybe even save save us. But some are darker, dangerous. If we allow them to, they control us. Seduce us. Quite possibly even destroy us.
The moment I walked into Sonoma’s Reid Winter Winery and Vineyard and made eye contact with Faith Winter for the first time was one of those moments. Provocative because I know at least one of her secrets, of which, I suspect she has many. Provocative because she believes I was a stranger to her when we met, but I am not. Provocative because I sought her out, with no intention of touching her. But now I have. Now I want her. Now I have to have her. But that changes nothing. It doesn’t change why I came for her.

***ARC received for an honest review***
“Murder brought us together. Lies
could tear us apart.”
I have had an amazing reading week this week and Lisa Renee
Jones has just added another one to the pile and this is definitely my
favourite of hers to date. Provocative is a romantic suspense with a whole heap
of sexual tension that keeps those pages turning a mile minute. This was a book
that kept my attention from the very start and held me rapt until the very end.
Now I am desperate for Shameless and a few months to wait will feel like
forever.
“And just like that, Nick has
proven I was right about him from the beginning. He is dark lust. He is
all-consuming. He is an escape I crave. Maybe he’s even an obsession as he’d
called me. But more so, he is dangerous. I sense it. I feel it like I feel this
man in every part of me inside and out. But then, so am I.”
Faith is the owner of a winery, inherited from her parents,
but at heart she is an up and coming artist. Faith bleeds art and it pains her
that she has had to put her career on hold while she rescues the family
business her father loved so much. The winery though is thwart with problems
and none more so than money, with her mother’s will in probate she is stuck
between a rock and a hard place and with creditors banging down the door she is
adamant to do the impossible.
“Because you touching me still
feels better than you not touching me…”
Nick is a lawyer and one that is hugely successful and
highly feared, he didn’t earn the nickname “Tiger” for nothing and more than
lives up to his reputation. Nick has done his homework on Faith, he knows her
inside out on paper but what he wasn’t prepared for was the connection they
shared in the flesh. From the moment these two meet the pages crackle, the
tension sizzles and the chemistry only flames. But this was not on Nick’s
agenda. But what is Nick’s agenda?
“That’s where we’re differing
here, Faith. I’m thinking about every moment I have with you and you’re
thinking about goodbye.”
A relationship born from secrets and omissions is definitely
going to have its problems and these two are guilty of this on both sides, but
it is this that ramps up the suspense and intrigue as Lisa Renee Jones slowly
lets slip little snippets of what each of these two are hiding. I loved how the
reader is just as ignorant of the truth as the characters, and as these two are
enlightened the reader is too. Each fact was safely stored and continually
churning around in my brain as I try and piece together the truth just as
quickly as Nick our intrepid lawyer. But, what is fact and fiction? What are
truths and lies? And basically, what the hell is going on?
“…maybe even from that very first
provocative moment when I first made eye contact with Faith, my original agenda
has changed. I stopped looking for ways to prove her guilt, and started looking
for ways to prove her innocence. That might seem as if it works for her, but
the truth is, it doesn’t. Because when I want to believe in someone and they
let me down, they betray me, my wrath is vicious.”
The chemistry between Nick and Faith is off the charts.
Neither character wanting a relationship and yet both are constantly fighting
the inevitable and it is this push and pull that really cemented these two as a
couple I wanted to see make it. The banter and dialogue between these two is
infectious and really brought these characters to life. It is this that gives
them that human touch and gives the reader that all important character
connection.
“Do you know why I painted that,
Tiger? Because I was trying to figure out why I want to trust you but can’t.”
There is still a lot to come for these two and I am still
battling my brain trying to fathom how and where Lisa Renee Jones is going to
take their story. The suspense and intrigue was spot on and I love the fact
that even having finished this book a few days ago, my grey matter is still
churning away. I am desperate for Shameless which releases on July 11th,
I cannot wait to see what is in store for these two.
Book two: SHAMELESS will be out on July 11th!
