The Book Junkie
Reads . . . Review of . . . POISON KISSES, PART 1 . . .This was a short, sexy, thrilling, cliffhanger read
that gave as good as it got. Seth the assassin, pulled back in to do one more
job. Amanda the scientist, put in his path to make the game that much more
entertaining. Their history together drew them back together. Their history
together blurs the lines drawn. Their attraction to one another unmistakable. This
was like the prologue to a weighted tell. It left you wanting the next
installment.
BLURB
Amanda Skye made me want her. She
made me trust her. She made me love her. Then she betrayed me. And now, a
madman brings us together again and before our battle with him is over, I will
make sure that she never forgets my name: Seth Cage. The Fixer for the Brandon Family Empire, but to a covert CIA operation, I will always be The Assassin. And to Amanda, I will be the man who made her moan, sign, and beg. And I will maker her beg.
EXCERPT
“I hate you, Seth Cage,” she proclaims in what I know to be an
out-of-character emotional outburst that tells me I’ve rattled her.
And earns her my cool reply. “There’s a fine line between love and
hate, sweetheart,” I say, but I don’t want her to hate me and it pisses me off.
What is it about this woman that makes her my weakness? “I wonder if I missed
the taste of poison on your lips, or did I just choose to ignore it?” And I
need to know that answer. I close my mouth down on hers, my tongue sliding into
her mouth, rough, angry, but she doesn’t respond. She doesn’t even touch me,
and I won’t allow her that win. I fold her against me, cupping the back of her
head, my tongue licking against hers until she finally fucking moans, and
responds.
And damn it, she still tastes just as good as she did, just as
right when she’s wrong, but at least I know now. Everything right about this
woman will always be wrong, including the moment she bites my lips, drawing
blood. “I still hate you,” she hisses.
Wiping my lip, I’m wildly aroused by what just happened, which
proves how fucked in the head this woman makes me. And while I’m certain we’d
both be more than comfortable with the idea of me pulling her skirt up and
fucking her right now, and letting her think she’s manipulating me again, that
has to wait until I have her someplace to myself. I release her, snatching up
her gun and shoving it under my jacket, inside my holster. “Meet me at the
south exit. If you aren’t there, I’ll kill you and then move on to Plan B and
kill Franklin. And yes. This is a test. Pass it or you’ll be in my bed, in
handcuffs for the rest of your life.”
“You said you’d kill me.”
“After I cuff you to my bed.”
I move to the door and exit into the staff hallway, and then the
main school hallway, the scent of her, sweet jasmine, clinging to my skin. Damn
it, I used to love that smell.
I’m halfway to the exit when suddenly she’s beside me. “As I know
you know from whatever file they gave you on me,” she says without looking at
me, “I watched people die because of that man in China seven years ago when he
set off poison gas in the subway. I’m not sitting back while he does it again.”
I don’t reply. I just keep walking, but now she’s by my side again, as she was for three solid months, three years ago. Her words and actions are reminding me of what I’d found so damn appealing about this woman: her conviction and her moral compass that were greater than mine, that made her too good for me, and yet, made me want her all the more. Only, it was an act, a façade maintained even now and well. She’s an enemy in an uncomfortable alliance. I don’t believe a word she has said.

We reach the exit and I pause with her directly to my right, my
eyes capturing hers. “You’re with me now and no one gets to take you from me.
And I’m the only one who gets to kill you.”
“You’re so damn romantic,” she says. “No wonder I missed you.”
“You missed me, sweetheart?”
“That wasn’t literal.”
My lips curve. “And yet you kissed me like you missed me.”

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . Poison Kisses PRT 3 . . . The suspense is over. Amanda and Seth are going to make what they make of it. I think the waiting for the various parts will put some people off. I myself love it because of course I had all the part to read back to back. This was just good. This was what LRJ does and she does it well. Romantic Suspense from LRj makes you hold tight to your seat. She sets you up and sends you on a thrill ride. It the story, the pacing, the characters, the world she builds, the anticipation of how it all comes together. Amanda and Seth had love for each other. They needed to come back to each other for this all to sink in. They found themselves almost not able to make that second chance work. Deceptions, lies, secrets, murder, attempted murder, multi-players, multi-angles. This one just had a lot going on.

BLURB
Those you love, know how to hurt
you. Those you love, know what to hide, because they know what is unforgivable
to you. Now that I know what Seth hid from me, I want the secret to be the lie.
I don't want to kill him. I don't want to leave him. I guess that is why they
say there is a fine line between love and hate. I love and hate that man with
such passion, that it damn near hurts. But now, as we face down our shared
enemies, as we are lead right back to an explosive discovery about my family,
and to the night Seth and I parted ways, we will both be exposed in every way.
And it's time for me to decide if I plan to love Seth Cage for the rest of my
life, or kill him, before he kills me.
