From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, the first book in the CARELESS WHISPERS series.
Please note: This is the standalone spinoff of the INSIDE OUT series. New readers can enjoy this without reading INSIDE OUT but those who love INSIDE OUT will FINALLY find out what happened to Ella!
Ella Ferguson awakes alone in Italy, unsure of who she is, and a gorgeous man has claimed her as his own. He's tall, dark, and sexy, with money and power, the kind of man who makes a girl want to be possessed. And he does possess her, whispering wicked wonderful promises to her, stealing her trust and her heart. Soon though, the past finds her, yanking her from a cocoon of passion and safety. Everything is not how it seems. The truth will shatter her world, but it can set her free, if it doesn't destroy her first.
From the first few pages, I found myself completely hooked on the mystery and intrigue Denial had to offer. The blurb promises sultry suspense and Lisa Renee Jones delivers just that.
We are first introduced to our heroine as she rouses in a hospital bed. With no recollection of the events that led to her hospitalisation, her only source of information comes from the stranger standing in her room. The stranger or rather hero, Kayden, is able to fill in some blanks. It appears she was the victim of a mugging.
It soon becomes apparent that the mugging has not only left her at a loss of her possessions but her memory also. With no way to verify who she is, Kayden takes it upon himself to care for her until either some information comes to light about her identity or her memory is restored. I have to admit, I was instantly attracted to Kayden's protectiveness when it came to Ella. The fact she felt a familiarity with him instantly roused my suspicions that there was more afoot than Kayden leads us to believe.
As the plot develops and snippets of Ella's past are revealed, it serves to heighten the suspense that becomes increasingly potent when Kayden's history is added to the mix. Fear and intensity can make for a great segue to sex but along with this, the comfort they sought from each other made their connection feel more genuine to me.
Denial is the first novel in a 3 part series and with a great introduction and cliffhanger, Lisa Renee Jones pretty much guarantees I'll be holding out for mores rom this series.
I couldn’t sleep. I meant to go to the kitchen and then I
ended up here because I wanted . . .” His reaction cuts like his anger. “Just
never mind.” I try to move around him but his hands press to the wall beside
me, caging me, and now I’m angry. “Are we doing this again? Don’t bully me. My
stupid flashbacks are doing a fine job of that on their own. I said I’m sorry.
Just let me go back to my room.”
“You
wanted what?”
“I
wanted you to do what you swore you could,” I blurt, having nothing to lose
when everything is already gone.
“Only
I don’t want you to fuck me until I can’t remember my name. I want you to fuck
me until I stop thinking about that man and the gun. Because you were right.
Memories are the enemies that never die. But I know you don’t want—”
His
hand slides under my hair and he drags me to him, my hand flattening on the
hard wall of his chest. “I do want. So
fucking bad it’s killing me.”
My
palm is directly over his heart, and I can feel it racing, the air around us
crackling with barely contained passion. “I don’t need a hero to save my virtue
tonight. I need you. So please. Fuck
me and then fuck with my head so no one else can. Let me choose my own sins.”
He
is stone, unmoving, his body steel, his expression unreadable, the sexual
tension crackling between us. “You want sin, sweetheart,” he says. “I’ll give
you sin.” His mouth closes down on mine, his tongue licking into my mouth,
wicked with demand, and I can taste his hunger, his need. A deep, aching need I
want to fill.
