**REVIEW** Hard Rules by Lisa Renee Jones



ABOUT THE BOOK:
How bad do you want it?

The only man within the Brandon empire with a moral compass, Shane Brandon is ready to take his family's business dealings legitimate. His reckless and ruthless brother, Derek wants to keep Brandon Enterprises cemented in lies, deceit, and corruption. But the harder Shane fights to pull the company back into the light, the darker he has to become. Then he meets Emily Stevens, a woman who not only stirs a voracious sexual need in him, but becomes the only thing anchoring him between good and evil.

Emily is consumed by Shane, pushed sexually in ways she never dreamed of, falling deeper into the all-encompassing passion that is this man. She trusts him. He trusts her, but therein lies the danger. Emily has a secret, the very thing that brought her to him in the first place, and that secret could destroy them both.

This is the first book by Lisa Renee Jones that I have read.  I will read the next book in the Dirty Money series.  If I hadn’t received copies from the publisher, I’m not sure if I would continue though.

I know this book is setting up the others, and there would more than likely be a cliff hanger.  There is, and I’m totally fine with it.  I’m odd and love cliff hangers.

I am confused by this book.  The prologue, to me doesn’t fit with the story yet.  I’m guessing it does in the later books though.

I couldn’t really connect with the characters.  It’s not that I didn’t like them, I did.  I just didn’t feel them.  I’m hoping that will change with the next book.

The story itself felt a little dry and was slow moving.  I did catch myself skimming and had to go back.  I almost stopped reading, but decided to continue.

The idea of this storyline is great.  The writing was good.

I will say that after the ending, I’m curious about Emily and what she’s hiding.
