Review - Unbroken by Lisa Renee Jones


Title: Unbroken
Series: The Secret Life of Amy Bensen #4
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: September 7, 2015


From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones comes the fourth and final part in the sexy, suspenseful The Secret Life of Amy Bensen series—finally revealing the long-awaited wedding between Amy and Liam. But with the explosive secret they’re hiding, will their enemies ever let them live happily ever after?

For six long years I lived on the run, in fear and devastated by loss. That began to change the day I met Liam Stone, who is so much more than his money and power, and even the protection he has offered me. He is passion. He is friendship. He is love and happiness, and the man who made my enemies his own. And now with his help, the secret that drove me into hiding is buried, our enemies contained. Liam and I can finally start our life and put this behind us. The nightmare is over. Unless…it’s not.






Finally the conclusion of The Secret Life of Amy Bensen series! I’ve been looking forward to this forever it seems. This series has been one heck of a hot, sexy, steamy, smartly written erotic suspense and I couldn’t wait to read this final installment.

Unbroken picks up right where Forsaken ended. Due to the planning and plotting by Amy’s brother, Chad, Amy and Liam find themselves in unknown territory—they’re safe. Or as safe as Liam, Tellar, and the rest of the team deem them to be. 

With their safety now not in the forefront of their minds, Liam and Amy are free to move forward with their lives. A life that includes marriage. While planning for their wedding, Amy gets a surprise visit that suddenly makes Liam and Amy feel that they may not be so safe after all…

Add in a visit by the CIA and a “shadow” agent, and Ms. Jones had me on the edge of my seat once again, wondering if Amy and Liam really were going to have their happily ever after.

The end. Wait, not really the end… but it could have been. Unfortunately, Unbroken just didn’t capitalize upon the suspense points. The whole series was one question after another as to who was good and who was bad, and who was both. The plot here never rose to that level—it just fizzled out in this brief, almost-a-very-long-epilogue, book. After all the excitement and brilliant storytelling in the rest of the series, Unbroken felt very rushed and fell flat. I think if there were more elements of suspense and a bit more of the final story drawn out, this would have been an epic conclusion.

Review - Forsaken by Lisa Renee Jones


Title: Forsaken
Series: The Secret Life of Amy Bensen #3
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: August 18, 2014



In this third book in the sexy, suspenseful The Secret Life of Amy Bensen series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, we meet Amy’s brother Chad—and the woman who either loves him or wants him dead.

Six years ago, Chad’s hunt for a dangerous treasure turned deadly when his family home was set on fire, his parents killed. Faking his and his sister Amy’s death to protect her from further retaliation, he set her up in a new life with a friend’s help, letting her believe he’d died.

But now the men who hired Chad to find the treasure have found him, imprisoning and torturing him to learn where it’s hidden. A dark-haired beauty named Gia helps him escape, promising him access to his worst enemy. And as he tries to unravel the deep secrets of the past, he starts falling for her…only to discover she’s not what she seems.

Unable to trust anyone, Chad focuses on only two things: protecting his sister Amy and getting revenge. Is love even possible in the midst of heartache?






Forsaken is another heart pounding, edge of your seat installment of the The Secret Life of Amy Bensen series. This time the focus is on Amy’s brother, Chad and Gia.

For six years, Chad has been on the run and in hiding. Doing his best to keep his sister, Amy, safe from the people who paid him to find dangerous treasure, Chad even went as far as faking his own and Amy’s deaths to try to keep Amy safe.

But time has run out, and the people he was hired by have found Chad. He’s been captured, imprisoned and tortured in an attempt to learn the treasure’s secret hiding place. Chad hasn’t broken, yet, nor will he because he’s rescued by Gia, his worst enemy’s secretary—or so she says.

As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed. Secrets such as what exactly this treasure is. Who is Gia? Is Amy truly safe? Can Chad trust anyone?

Forsaken is a perfect example of romantic suspense. The heat between Chad and Gia steams off the page. There are a ton of twists and turns throughout this book—as to be expected. And I’m not going to reveal anything! Catch up with this series—read it! I’ve made notes because I can’t wait for the story conclusion in the final book!
