About Hard Rules:

Hard Rules Cover

Wall Street meets the Sons of Anarchy in Hard Rules, the smoldering, scorching first novel in the explosively sexy new Dirty Money series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones.

How bad do you want it? The only man within the Brandon empire with a moral compass, Shane Brandon is ready to take his family’s business dealings legitimate. His reckless and ruthless brother, Derek wants to keep Brandon Enterprises cemented in lies, deceit, and corruption. But the harder Shane fights to pull the company back into the light, the darker he has to become. Then he meets Emily Stevens, a woman who not only stirs a voracious sexual need in him, but becomes the only thing anchoring him between good and evil.

Emily is consumed by Shane, pushed sexually in ways she never dreamed of, falling deeper into the all-encompassing passion that is this man. She trusts him. He trusts her, but therein lies the danger. Emily has a secret, the very thing that brought her to him in the first place, and that secret that could that destroy them both.

Elegant young man in tuxedo looking down while sitting on a stool, on grey studio background.

EARLY PRAISE:

“Angst-y, sexy contemporary romance with big emotional and financial stakes set against the backdrop of two dynamic families. Sure to leave readers desperate for the next installment.”

-Kirkus Reviews

“High-octane romance set above the glittering lights of Denver is enhanced by the dominance of a powerful man and the cunning sweetness of a woman who isn’t cowed or swayed by his wealth…a fascinating mystery and characters with distinct voices.”

-Publishers Weekly

My Review

“His mouth slants over mine and the rest of the world disappears, as does the driver, leaving me alone with the only man who’s ever possessed me and made me like it.”

Hard Rules was one of my most anticipated reads of 2016. Lisa Renee Jones is one of those authors for me, that I will automatically one click. I know I can count on her stories for a sinful, yet suspenseful read. And with a description describing it as Wall Street meets Sons of Anarachy, I just knew I had to grab this book. And let me tell you, Hard Rules does not disappoint.

From the moment you pick up Hard Rules, you are sucked in by the prologue. Your curiosity has been peaked. You are intrigued and have to know more. Before you know it, you are completely lost in Emily and Shane’s story as well as the world that Lisa Renee Jones has created. There are secrets, lies and danger around every corner. You will find yourself turning the pages faster, as you try to figure out what is going on and who you can really trust.

Of course, this would not be a Lisa Renee Jones story without a sinful, sexy, alpha male. And let me tell you, Shane hits all those marks. The chemistry between Shane and Emily is scorching. When Shane and Emily are together, not only are they able to forget about their troubles, but they completely lose themselves in the passion they share. It’s like there is not outside world. They can escape their families, all the secrets and truths that have yet to be discovered.

Hard Rules is a fantastic start to Dirty Money Series. I found this story to be an intriguing and entertaining read. I loved the characters and am dying to know more. I loved all the secrets and twists. This story is like a giant puzzle, just waiting to be solved. I have a lot of questions and can not wait to discover the answers. I will warn you, this book does end with a cliffhanger and it is a good one! I know I can’t wait to find out what will happen next!

*I was provided an ARC copy of this book via the publisher and NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review*

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones is the author of the highly acclaimed INSIDE OUT series, which is now in development for a television show to be produced by Suzanne Todd of Team Todd (Alice in Wonderland). Suzanne Todd on the INSIDE OUT series: Lisa has created a beautiful, complicated, and sensual world that is filled with intrigue and suspense. Sara’s character is strong, flawed, complex, and sexy – a modern girl we all can identify with. I’m thrilled to develop a television show that will tell Sara’s whole story – her life, her work, her friends, and her sexuality.

In addition to the success of Lisa’s INSIDE OUT series, she has published many successful titles. The TALL, DARK AND DEADLY series and THE SECRET LIFE OF AMY BENSEN series, both spent several months on a combination of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling lists. Lisa is presently working on a dark, edgy new series, Dirty Money, for St. Martin’s Press.

Prior to publishing Lisa owned multi-state staffing agency that was recognized many times by The Austin Business Journal and also praised by the Dallas Women’s Magazine. In 1998 Lisa was listed as the #7 growing women owned business in Entrepreneur Magazine.
