Book Review: Revealing Us by Lisa Renee Jones

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:
You’ve discovered Rebecca’s secrets. You’ve discovered Sara’s secrets. Now Sara will discover “his” deepest, darkest secrets…but will those secrets bind them together–or tear them apart?

Review:
Compared to the first two books in this trilogy, Revealing Us is my least favorite. I loved the first two books! I liked Revealing Us but it didn’t suck me in the way If I Were You and Being Me did.
Revealing Us picks right up from where Being Me left off. Sara goes to Paris with Chris and we eventually find out about Chris’ past. New characters are introduced in Paris but some of my original questions were left unanswered. Where is Rebecca’s body? What’s going on with Ella?
Sara and Chris are a great couple and they finally learn to trust each other despite Sara’s jealousy and Chris’ dark past. Although, I thought there would be more to Chris’ past since it took over half the book before anything is actually “revealed”.
I have mixed emotions about Amber and I want to know more about Tristan! Will something happen with Chantal and Rey?
There were so many loose ends in the book that it was quite frustrating! I was expecting this last book in the trilogy to answer everything and it didn’t.
I don’t like cliffhangers. I despised the cliffhanger in If I Were You but I had Being Me to pick right up and continue with. Now, I have to wait for the next book…
Lisa Renee Jones has become one of my favorite authors and I will definitely be checking for information regarding more Inside Out books to come.

I would absolutely recommend Revealing Us to anyone who likes a hot, steamy story with a twist of mystery and adventure.

Book Review: Being Me by Lisa Renee Jones

I 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.
