Book Review: Being Me by Lisa Renee Jones

Reviewer: Rhonda

being meI received a copy of Being Me in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:

I arch into him, drinking in his passion, instantly, willingly consumed by all that he is and could be to me. . . .

Sara McMillan is still searching for Rebecca, the mysterious woman whose dark,erotic journal entries both enthralled and frightened her. Tormented by a strong desire to indulge the demands of her new boss while also drawn deeper into her passionate bond with the troubled artist, Chris Merit, Sara must face a past as deeply haunting as Rebecca’s written words. In one man’s arms, Sara will find the safe haven to reveal her most intimate secrets and explore her darkest fantasies. But is safety just an illusion, when the truth about Rebecca has yet to be discovered?

Review:

I usually read historical or contemporary romance with sex scenes but I have never read anything like what I read in Being Me! From the very first page I was consumed by the story, the characters and all of the secrets they seemed to have. The sex was HOT and Chris Merit made it even hotter!

Of course, I continued to wonder about the missing Rebecca and Ella’s lack of communication while on her honeymoon. We find out about Rebecca but Ella is still missing.

At times, I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster with Sara and Chris because they both have secrets they have yet to share; I got a sense that both of them were holding something back.

The book has a great story line and it is more than sex and secrets. The art gallery and the staff there intrigued me as did Chris’ philanthropy. I found that all of the characters were interesting. I am looking forward to the final book in the trilogy.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery, flawed characters, passion and erotic sex.

4.5 stars
