“Just remember. Poison me too soon, and my tongue will never get to all the places you like it.”
Poison Kisses: Part 2 is like turning the next page, not starting a new book. Fortunately, for those of us that have read several books since then, the author gives her readers a recap to get our heads in the right place as we pick up right where we left off. That’s right, with our jaw dropped.
Amanda & Seth have been separated for three years. When she left, she disappeared, and even he couldn’t find her using his considerable skills and contacts. She wasn’t found until she was ready to be found. And when they saw each other again, they discovered that their passion for each other had not diminished in the least. But their trust had taken a hit. They went from lovers to enemies to lovers, but what about the love? Could that be salvaged along with the trust? In trying to determine who the bad guys are, they couldn’t exclude themselves, the Assassin and the Poison Princess. When the evidence is against them, how do they decide who’s telling the truth? Does the heart lie?
Talk about a major cliffhanger, this one is a doozy. I’m again left with my jaw hanging and my heart pounding. I admit that it was my love for this author’s work that had me willing to read whatever she decided to write, not even caring what trope she tackled. But I find myself completed invested and digging this James Bond style of espionage. The secrets and suspense, the danger and drama, the mystery and mayhem are addictive and I’m ready for the next installment. See ya there.
Seth and Amanda are on the run with nobody else to talk to but each other. Both start opening up about the events leading up to that night three years ago. POISON KISSES PART 2 is fast paced, action packed and will keep you guessing. I cannot wait to see how this series is going to end.
Poison Kisses: Part 2 picks up right after that cliffy we got in Part 1. So please note that it cannot be read as a standalone.
“Wet heat consumes me until I’m buried in her, and when we look at each other, a world of hate, love and damage radiates between us, somehow all as right as it is wrong.”
Seth and Amanda are still trying to figure out what happened three years ago. They are straddling that line between love and hate and they continue to distrust each other about their past. At the end of Part 1, we are left with just thinking that we are going to find out what happened that separated them three years ago and why they are where they are now. In Part 2, they are still trying to figure it out. Just as the start to trust each other, new things come up and suspicion is back.
As we get glimpses into their past, it’s clear that they love each other and it’s still clear in the present. Both of them are fighting their natural instincts that make them who they are in order to attempt to try to trust the other. Yet again, just as I think we are about to get some answers or are in a better place, we are left hanging. I don’t mind the push and pull between the two. I can understand being hurt in the past and trying to recover from that an move on with that same person in the future. For me, it makes me want to root harder for them.
So here I am now, anxiously waiting for the last installment so I can find out what is going to happen. I look forward to getting more Seth and Amanda and their constant battle of wills and passion.
Read the series and loved it!
Omg! That ending! I’m so glad book three is coming out soon.
I love Seth and Amanda is growing on me. I want him to have his HEA with the woman he has trusted with his life. The woman he has loved for three years despite the fact she walked away and is under suspicion of espionage. One step forward and two steps back.
Oh yeah! Poison Kisses is loaded with intrigue and passion, hatred/anger and restrained love. Imagine what would happen if it all came out!! The lies, truths, mad-crazy passion and LOVE! Gah! I cannot wait!
This book is a bit different in the way it’s being released, instead of one long novel it is being broken down into three novellas that can be read in an afternoon…at least that is how I have read it. Book one and two are available now, book three will be out the next week. It’s up to you how you would like to enjoy them, separately or all together.
Oh boy, so much went on here but we still don’t have any answers. We start off right where part 1 left off with Amanda’s mothers message warning her about Seth and Amanda learns about what happened after she ran. I love he chemistry between Seth and Amanda its something that they can’t resist even if they wanted to.
I have so many questions:
Is this threat something that can be contained?
What will have to happen for Seth and Amanda to get their HEA?
Who order the Kill order for Amanda as well as her parents?
What on earth is going to happen after this unbelievable cliffhanger?
I cannot wait to get the answer to these questions and so many more in part 3 because my original reaction after finishing part 2 was OMG that ending…..well really I mean holy shit Batman what a cliffhanger!!
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book**
If you know anything about Lisa Renee Jones’ work, you know that you truly know very little. You can guess, you can theorize,and you can hypothesize but you will never be 100% certain.
Poison Kisses is no different. Seth Cage is running the show…or is he. Handlers, poisons, and killers oh my! What’s the truth, what happened three years ago, and why now?
I have no idea but I’m dying to find out!!!
reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood
Seth and Amanda’s attraction to each other is white hot and yet the trust is not there. They hypothesize who or why a kill order has been put out on Amanda. Seth also reflects on their assignment three years ago where they fell in love.
Knowing who to trust is not easy. In addition they have to stop Franklin from contaminating the water supply with toxins. Somehow they are both being manipulated with false information to the point that every time trust is rebuilt, it’s shattered.
ANOTHER 5 STARS FOR PART 2!! The continuation of this fantastic serial in Part 2. This story picks up right where we were left in part 1, with all the suspense and fantastic story. Seth and Amanda still don’t trust each other, but need each other. I can’t wait to read part 3 for the conclusion. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
For the love of all cliffhangers! At least I have #3 in my hot little hands and can start that right away! Just when you think Seth and Amanda are hitting their strides to taking down the bad guy so they can get on with their life something else gets in the way. There is a lot of going back and forth with telling of the past and moving forward with the present and just when they think they have forgiven each other and the trust is back something is thrown in their path. Will they overcome it and work through it. Guess we will have to find out…
GAH!!!!!!
Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, you out done yourself again!
Poison Kisses Part 2 continues where Part 1 ended and I must say that Seth and Amanda’s story is one of the best!
Thank you for letting me take this trip you!!
The Poison Princess and the Assassin are back together again. New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones brings us the second part in the Poison Kisses serial and it is a heck of a lot steamier and even more suspenseful than the first.
We pick up right where part one left off, Amanda and Seth demanding answers from each other regarding that night three years prior. They still don’t trust each other even after they have their answers, something just doesn’t add up. Will they figure out what’s going on before it’s too late?
I really enjoyed part one, but that was just the back story. Now we are in the thick of the action. Seth and Amanda running, fighting and making love, well not really love but you get the picture. The intense passion that the two shared from day one is still evident in every look and felt with every touch. But they have a mission to accomplish and that means not falling for each other again.
This is fun action packed read. It has its sexy moments and the thrill of danger is ever present. Of course, it ends on another cliffhanger, and whoa buddy, this one is a doozy! I cannot wait to dive into part three and find out what is happening and how it ends for Seth and Amanda. Four stars.
Poison Kisses: Part 2 by Lisa Renee Jones is the second of a three-part serialized story surrounding Seth, whom we met in her Dirty Money series and Amanda the woman that broke this super-spy’s heart.
Book two picks up right where book one left off, smack-dab in the middle of espionage, lies, betrayal, distrust, all while two people who once loved each other are trying to put their pasts to the side in order to save thousands of people from a domestic terrorist poisoning attack.
Seth is as dirty talking ALPHA male as ever and the chemistry with Amanda has not faltered despite the three years they spent apart. Her on the run and him hunting her down to follow through on the CIA’s kill order. Loved this second installment and am eager to devour the final story,
Poison Kisses: Part 3. Enjoy!
4.5 stars–POISON KISSES Part 2 is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult, serialized POISON KISSES erotic, romantic suspense story line focusing on two former CIA agents: 31 year old scientist Amanda Skye aka Poison Princess, and thirty five year old Seth Cage aka The Assassin.
Told from first person point of view (Seth Cage) using present day and memories from the past POISON KISSES Part 2 picks up immediately upon the events of Part 1, as the story line follows the rekindling relationship between former CIA partners Seth Cage and Amanda Skye. Three years earlier Amanda disappeared following her assignment with Seth Cage-a man with whom she would fall in love but a man given the order to destroy her life. With a potential biological disaster in the making, Amanda is pulled back into the world she was desperately trying to escape. With only days to uncover the truth, Amanda and Seth prepare for another undercover operation but information about Amanda’s parents is about to further destroy the second chance romance with the man she once loved.
POISON KISSES Part 2 once again, reveals some of the back story and history between our leading couple; their building relationship and their easy compatibility that is about to be blown all to h*ll. There are moments of intrigue, suspense, action, forced restraint and drama as Cage and Amanda balance attraction and trepidation in a dance of sexual tension, and memories of the past. The perceived betrayal and conspiratorial motives begin to pull at the already frayed ‘friendship’ between our leading couple.
For Sage and Amanda the pieces are falling into place. For readers, Ms. Jones amps up the chase. The complications become more extreme as the danger gets more intense. Lurking in the shadows are the answers they seek, they just may have come to late. The Poison Kisses series provides edge of the seat seduction, that leaves the mind spinning, heart racing and readers craving more.
A tense start to the 2nd part of Poison Kisses, the spin-off set in the same world as the ‘Dirty Money series’. Seth and Amanda are safe for now, but with only themselves to rely on it’s hard to know who to trust, except each other. After just a few days together, the love they shared 3 years ago is back, as if it never left. But, now they’re on the trail of a new threat, one that could kill thousands.
But, just as they start to let their guards down and fully embrace their life together as a couple, another shot comes out of left field. Amanda is left reeling from a message she read on Seth’s phone and now she wants answers and she won’t stop at murder to get them.
Is this really the end?
Poison Kisses: Part 2 starts where Part 1 left off. So, yes you need to read part 1 first. This is a spin off from Dirty Money and you don’t have to read it but, it is a very good series.
OMG! What an ending! Yes, it is a HUGE cliffhanger but, fortunately Part 3 is on my kindle and I will start as soon as I get this review written.
The suspense in Poison Kisses is so good and the chemistry between Seth and Amanda is amazing.
Amanda is the “Poison Princess” her choice for kills is “poison”. Seth and Amanda are both ex CIA agents. Seth accepted an assignment to kill Amanda but he says he took the assignment so no one else would get it. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to give anything away.
I enjoyed Poison Kisses: Part 2 and I give it 4.5 stars and I am starting Part 3 now.
