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?

I am a huge fan of Lisa Renee Jones’ Inside Out series, and Revealing Us has really upped the ante. This story was sexy and hot, and yet full of mystery. Lisa Renee Jones continues to keep me glued to the pages with this continuing saga.



In this book I wouldn’t say there was a lot of action, like in the other books. There was some, but to me, it felt like there was more drama than anything. Chris and Sara… *sigh* I love them, but man, they can certainly exhaust you! But I love how much they love each other, how much they are devoted, and how much they are willing to go through Hell for each other. Chris is every bit the emotional roller coaster that Sara is, maybe even more so. So when Sara is a bit gun-shy when it comes to Chris, I totally understand.

This time around the couple has moved to Paris to stay at one of Chris’s homes. But there is certainly baggage that comes with a new country and an old home. And that baggage comes in the form of new characters! Woot! Honestly, I wanted to bitchslap some of them. One has me a bit intrigued. But really, all of them just need to leave Chris and Sara alone. Cause when they are alone the heat is cranked to a thousand and they are the sexiest people on the planet!

Sara really needs to beef up her exterior defenses, because every time she thinks with her heart rather than her head she gets knocked down. Just when I think to myself that Sara has really grown by leaps and bounds, something will happen and make me want to ask her what the hell she was thinking. But no matter how obscure Sara’s thoughts run, Chris always knows exactly where they are. Is she that easy to read, or are they soul mates? It’s hard to say, maybe a little of both?

This book really focuses on the two of them even more, and their relationship grows because of it. But there are still some mysteries to solves – and there are some definitely some bombshells dropped in this book! If you haven’t picked up this series yet, I really think you should. It has so many aspects to it, there’s something for everyone. The writing is intelligent and it just grabs you and doesn’t let go. The storyline is imaginative, and I think its erotic romantic suspense at its best.

Review: The Master Undone by Lisa Renee Jones

Title: The Master Undone
Series: Inside Out 2.5
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Published: August 12, 2013, Pocket Star
Format: Galley, Edelweiss

I told him goodbye, and I will not call him. I know if I do, it will be my undoing, and I'll once again be caught up in his spell. I will once again be...lost.

In her private journals, Rebecca laid bare her soul, revealing her obsession for the one man whose erotic demands captivated her imagination--and enslaved her forever. Now, with Rebecca no longer in his life he is lost, questioning everything he thought he knew about himself and about control he holds in such high regard. One women will reach out to heal him and then turn away, leaving him haunted. She is nothing he thought he wanted and somehow everything he needs. He tells himself to forget her but he cannot escape his desire for her. He has to have more...

The Master Undone… This was quite an intriguing look into the mindset of Mark. But I have to be honest, without Chris, this just didn’t hold the same magic for me. I liked this story, it just didn’t excite me as much as I was hoping for.


The Master Undone starts with Mark on a plane to see his mom, shortly after Being Me ends. I won’t give you any spoilers about that, just in case. But Mark’s mom is sick, and he is ever devoted to her. I like this about him. Showing a strong familial bond is important. It shows where you come from, and can often show why you might be the way you are.

Crystal meets him and tells him she is the Head Of Sales at Riptide, the New York auction house. She has certainly made herself at home with Dana, Mark’s mother. I like Crystal. She is a strong woman, and you can’t help but admire that. She comes from money, but she sees it important to make her own way. She’s an Alpha female, for sure.

But Mark, see, Mark identifies with being a Master in every aspect of his life, not just sexually. He is used to being in charge, and people following his orders. So when Crystal shows him that she is not the submissive type, he is intrigued. And sparks fly.

I liked seeing the interaction between Mark and Crystal. Sure, they don’t do it for me like Chris and Sara, but there is a certain fascination with them (Mark & Crystal). I think that this is definitely a quickie to read just because it’s some insight into the ever-elusive Mark.

Review: Being Me by Lisa Renee Jones

Title: Being Me
Series: Inside Out Book Two
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Published: June 2013, Gallery Books
Format: Print copy provided by Media Muscle

Fascinated by the dark fantasies in the journals she’s discovered, and the two men who have now found a place in her life, Sara McMillan finds herself torn between her new life and her past. Now, more than ever, Sara identifies with the lost journal writer, Rebecca, and is certain that something sinister has happened.

In the arms of the sexy, tormented artist Chris Merit, Sara seeks answers about Rebecca and ends up discovering things about herself she never knew existed. Chris forces Sara to reconsider who she is and what she truly wants from life, but not before his dark desires threaten to tear them apart. Her boss, Mark Compton, offers her the shelter to understand just what those needs mean to her, and what they might have meant to Rebecca, but can she trust him to lead her to a final conclusion to Rebecca’s story?

Quote-Tastic: Being Me

I love Mondays.  Not because I get to go back to work, cause that would be insane.  Not because it is the most hated day of the week, and I feel bad for it.  Not because The Bangles think they are Manic... but because of Quote-Tastic.

Review: If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones

Title: If I Were You
Series: Inside Out Book 1
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Published: 2012

When Sara McMillan finds a stack of journals in a storage unit, she’s shocked and enthralled by the erotic life the writer led. Unable to stop reading, she vicariously lives out dark fantasies through Rebecca, the writer—until the terrifying final entry.

Certain something sinister has happened, Sara sets out to discover the facts, immersing herself in Rebecca’s life. Soon she’s working at the art gallery Rebecca worked at and meeting Rebecca’s friends. Finding herself drawn to two dangerously sexy men, the manager of the gallery and a famed artist, Sara realizes she’s going down the same path Rebecca took. But with the promise of her dark needs being met by a man with confident good looks and a desire for control, she’s not sure anything else matters. Just the burn for more.

My intentions with the Inside Out series were to read If I Were You, then review it, then read Being Me and review it for an upcoming tour date. Well, that didn’t happen. I read the first book, and couldn’t even look at another book until I finished Being Me. I can totally see what is so captivating about this series that has everyone on edge waiting for the next installment.
