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...
Allison's journey continues as she finds herself in a dark, seductive world, and everything she thought she knew about herself, has changed.
Torn between past and present, she is still a prisoner of her own fears and inhibitions. But as the mystery of the necklace and the missing woman who owned it evolves, one man will help Allison see the light.
But where will that lead her? To him? Or someplace else?
MY OPINION
The mystery grows in this second book, and so does the intense relationship between Dash Black and Allison. It is easy to read and gripping thanks to the passion of the characters, so hot and demanding, and the increasing enigma surrounding the other Allison's disappearance.
I enjoyed the complicity the couple develops. They have broken hearts over family and secrets, but they are fighting to be together. Emotional intimacy is shown in sweet, romantic ways, also domestic, and others quite steamy.
The most exciting part is how Allie keeps investigating to unearth many details and clues about the other woman. I am really invested in her mission to find her. In this book, the clues come in surprising forms that keep the tension and curiosity mounting. I also find her job at Hawkes Legal very engaging. Allie is at the crux of a life choice. I like what's moving her, it feels real and significant.
On the other hand, so many powerful and magnetic men are prowling around in this book. They are yummy and a wonderful bait for my reading eyes. The last chapters feel momentous, and what happens at the end is dramatic enough to keep me biting my nails till the final book. Hurry up, cupcake!

WHAT ABOUT AN EXCERPT, BABEL?
“You’re always one push from being out the door. We just did that. Are we going to do it again?”
“You’re pushing now,” I say. “That’s the point. You know you’re pushing me.
Is that what you want? Because we both know whatever this is, doesn’t fit into your
rule book for women.”
“The rule book was gone the minute I met you, Allie. And damn straight I’m pushing you,
but not away. To be safe.”
“It feels like more.”
“Because you want it to.”
“Because it is,” I insist.
“No. You’re looking for a reason to run.”
“Oh my God, stop saying that to me, Dash. Because I’m angry at you does not mean
I’m going to run or stop lo—” I catch myself before I confess way too much, before I
confess my love for him. What am I doing? I try to deflect from my slip up. “Stop saying that
to me.”
He reaches around me and opens the door. Before I know his intent, we’re inside the
tiny bathroom meant for one, and he’s locking the door.
“We can’t be in here, Dash,” I whisper urgently. “Adrianna will be looking for us.”
“And yet, we are,” he says, his fingers tangling in my hair, tilting my gaze to his as he says,
“I’m just making sure you know there’s nowhere to run. I’ll follow. That’s what you’ve done to
me, Allie. That’s how much you’ve taken from me.”
“Taken?” I demand. “That’s what I’m doing?”
“Yeah, baby, but it had to be that way. And I like it. Say what you were going to say. You’re not
going to stop what?”
“Wanting you.”
His lips curve, his breath a warm tease on my lips. “Well just know this, Allie, I won’t stop
wanting you either.”
My God, did we just tell each other we love each other in a public bathroom? “Dash,”
I whisper. “Dash, what are we doing?”
“This,” he says, and his mouth closes down on mine again. And just like that, he’s kissing me
with such intensity, such passion, I can only moan. I have a vague moment when I realize this
is still about control. His control, not my control. The problem is I like it when he’s in control. I
like his kisses. I like the way his hands feel on my body and when my skirt is at my waist, and
only when my skirt is at my waist, do I jolt back to reality. I catch his wrists. “We can’t.”
“Until we do,” he says, cupping my face, kissing me again, Lord help me, his hand is between
my legs, pressing under the silk of my panties.
