Literaria: I always say yes to this author

Hi, book buddies :-) Are you having a good first month of the year? In terms of books, I'm happy that I've been able to read the new trilogy by Lisa Renee Jones :-)

WHEN I SAY YES
third book in the Necklace Trilogy
from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones is within our grasp!

Author: Lisa Renee Jones

Release Date: January 25, 2021

THE INTRIGUING PREMISE

In the vein of her Inside Out series, New York Times Bestselling Author Lisa Renee Jones returns with the dark, seductive world of the Necklace Trilogy...

I believe that there is one person in this world that can both break us and make us whole. One person who can love us more than life can hurt us. With this comes deep, intense passion, and a burning connection. But in turn, that person can destroy us, cut us, make us bleed in ways no other ever could. They have power over us.

For me, that one person is Dash Black.

He walked into my life in a rush of sunshine, in the darkness of heartache and uncertainty. We were broken apart, and whole together. He healed me. I believed I did the same for him. Until the past became the present, and every moment of suffering in his life consumed him. Instead of seeking refuge in me, he pushed me away. As the famous quote from an unknown author says, “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours; if it doesn’t, it never was.”

I've set Dash Black free. Now, I wait.

When I Say Yes is the third and final book in the Necklace Trilogy.

MY OPINION

Excellent final book in this gripping trilogy by one of my favourite authors. It's full of suspense, intensity, and heart-wrenching emotion. Allie and Dash burn the pages with the war they wage against their demons. I had my doubts about how they would overcome the hurdles they faced, but the first few chapters of this book are alight with powerful confrontations and truths. The relationship they are building is passionate and strong, so touching at times. And I love all the family connections. It feels very real and warm as the couple grow their intimacy, make plans with family, or face dangers and trouble with a united front. What's more, the two other male characters, Tyler and Mark, are amazing! The dialogues with them vibrate with raw energy, anticipation and intelligence. These men deserve their own story! Then we go back to one of my favourite parts which is Allie's job at Hawk's Legal. It's so absorbing to see her work there with the auction and how she claims her independence and well-being. The mystery around Allison's disappearance reaches a crescendo of emotion and danger. I truly love this plot, and I found the resolution both bittersweet and thrilling. The plot twist and its consequences are earth-shattering! What a way to end things. There's love, hot times, magnetic characters, and a mystery that runs deep and scary. A wonderful experience.

WHAT ABOUT AN EXCERPT, BABEL?

Dash carries me to the bedroom and lowers me to my feet at the end of the mattress. I reach for him, and I can feel his need to feel my hands on his body, but instead of caving to that burn, he catches my wrists again. “Not until I say you can touch me.”

Defiance rips through my body and my chin tilts. “And if I touch you anyway?”

“Then you won’t feel my hand on your ass, baby. Or anywhere else.” He drags me closer, aligning our bodies. “You know what I want. Tell me. What do I want, Allie?”

“Control,” I say without hesitation, but there’s a hint of vulnerability in my voice that I cannot tame. Just as I know I will never tame Dash. And the thing is—I don’t want to. In fact, I want the opposite. I want him unleashed. I want him wild and free.

“Are you going to give it to me?” he presses. “Can you trust me that much, Allie?”

Trust.

That’s the monster that torments each of us in our own minds and yet, we want it from each other, we demand it be given blindly, irrationally perhaps, but it doesn’t seem to matter. So much about how Dash and I approach each other is irrational and yet somehow, we make sense. And so I say, “I already do.”

He turns me to face the bed, one hand cupping the side of my neck under my hair, the other on my waist, his hard body at my back. Dash leans in close and says, “I can be demanding, Allie.”

My mind flashes to the night of our fight back in Nashville, when my hands had been pressed to the front door of our apartment, his hand on my throat, him behind me, thrusting into me. “I know,” I whisper, my skin flushing with the memory and because it’s the truth, now I dare add, “I like it.”

“Do you?” he challenges.

“Beyond reason,” I whisper.

His fingers flex on my neck, seconds ticking by before he replies with, “I used to think I wanted to scare you off, Allie.”

“And now?”

“Now, I pray I can’t.” His teeth scrape my shoulder, rasping roughly.

I suck in a breath at the rough, erotic nip that borders on a bite. He cups my jaw and drags my head back to his shoulder, just enough to angle my mouth to his and lower his to mine. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t try,” he adds. “Nice guys are gentle, Allie. You need to know that I’m not a nice guy.”

“If I’d wanted nice, I would have walked away before we ever started calling me cupcake which was almost the moment I met you, Dash.”

It’s a joke about the nickname I’ve earned with him, but he doesn’t laugh or smile. He brushes his lips over my lips. “You taste like you don’t know what you’re asking for.”

“And you taste like you talk too much, Dash Black.”

He lingers there a moment, his breath rushing over my lips with a promise of a kiss that doesn’t come. Instead, he says, “No more talking. Knees on the mattress, baby.”
