Kace August: famous, intense, dark, addictive. Aria Alard: a woman with secrets, passion, and a dangerous past. Passion. Secrets. Mystery. Aria fell hard for Kace. She trusted him. But did he deserve that trust? And where is Gio?A Wicked Song is the second book in the Brilliance Trilogy.
This review is going to be short and sweet because I don’t want to accidentally give anything away. A WICKED SONG picks up right where A Reckless Note (Brilliance Trilogy Book 1) left off, when we were made aware that Kace has been hiding a very big secret.
Aria is still trying to find her brother Gio but now she’s not sure she can trust Kace, or anyone for that matter. This story had so many twist and turns, Lisa Renee Jones did a wonderful job with keeping the romance between Kace and Aria alive while we were on a roller-coaster ride of suspense and thrills.
This story also ends on a cliffhanger but the final book in the trilogy will be here next month, and I for one cannot wait to get my hands on A Sinful Encore (Brilliance Trilogy Book 3).
If you enjoy Romantic Suspense this is the trilogy for you!
Happy Reading!!!
Dark, and addictive with danger lurking around every corner. This is Book #2 in the Brilliance Trilogy. It picks up where Book #1 left off. Aria is still looking for Gio, and she still has more questions than answers. Aria Alard and Kace August both have more in common than they know. They both secrets from their pasts they’d rather stay hidden. Trust doesn’t come easy for either one of them, especially Aria. Aria can’t deny the connection she has with Kace but can she trust him? Is he who he really says he is? Kace knows Aria’s first instinct is to run. He wants her to trust him, but can Kace tell Aria the truth without her running away from him?
Lisa Renee Jones takes us on a journey filled with danger, passion, secrets, lies, and mystery. The mystery keeps you on the edge of your seat. The passion between Kace and Aria will burn up the pages. You don’t know what will happen next. I love the mystery and intrigue of this trilogy. The ending has me anxious to see what happens next!
***ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.***
Kace and Aria’s story picks up where we were left off in A Reckless note – the cliffhanger will be resolved and the mystery of Gio’s disappearance is slowly unravelling. You will be reading more about Kace and Aria’s past as well as their love story is developing in front of your eyes. These characters are broken and yet they fit so well together. The twist and turn to this story leaves you on edge for the finale that is guaranteed to be epic! Lisa Renee Jones delivers another great story that can not leave you indifferent but more in awed by her imagination! I volunteered to review this arc.
Lisa has out done herself with this trilogy. Going back to the world of Inside Out with Sara and Chris, Mark and Crystal, and Walker Security. It has suspense, romance and very intriguing story line. We all have secrets and if a relationship start with a secret and a romance grows, how long before everyone is finds out. The cliffhanger in book 1 had me hanging on to my seat for book 2, but now book 2 cliffhanger had my jaw dropping. MUST READ!!!
A Wicked Song is the 2nd book in the Brilliance Trilogy. I love that Lisa Renee Jones puts in a recap at the beginning of each of her books. It helps to remind you of what happened prior to starting the next book in the series. So thank you for that!
This is a continuation of Kace August and Aria Alard’s (aka Aria Stradivari) story. Their story continues where A Reckless Notes leaves off. Kace & Aria’s chemistry continues to be off the charts, hot.
Also, if you have read any of LRJ’s other books you will know about the Walker Security’s hot team & some of the team show up in this series. I love when there are crossovers from other series.
I knew there was no way out of the 2nd book having a cliffhanger when I started this book and of course I was right. Now I can’t wait for A Sinful Encore! Coming in September. So at least the wait isn’t too long from now!
Holy cow! I love this series! And the ending, wow! There are so many secrets that seem like they are all intertwined. Kace is such an enigma. And his past? I can’t wait to find out everything. I thought Aria was the one full of secrets. But surprise, surprise, Kace has his own. This series reminds me of Ms. Jones’ Inside series so much. This author is a superb writer. Her stories are never a disappointment.
I am not sure how Ms. Jones keeps coming up with such brilliant series. Another massive hit for her.
This story picks up exactly where the first book ends. And ends with a blockbuster cliffhanger. One you won’t see coming. As is usual with Ms. Jones books, there are many crossover characters from her other series. She even hints at Ella and Kayden making an appearance.
Another great story by Miss Jones, I read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down!
A Wicked Song with a wicked ending. You must read until the very last word.
Aria and Kace take the reader on an adventure while continuing to fall in love with each other and searching for answers and Gio. Aria is determined to find Gio before anything happens to him. Kace feels that he needs to protect Aria and enlists Walker Security. Walker Security is protecting Aria from the unknown (texts and notes), from Alexander and his constant interference and Kace himself. Kace warns Aria that she will run but Kace is the one that threatens to leave over his mysterious past. Can the love and their newly formed relationship stand the heat?
A Wicked Song is filled with friends, travel, sting willed individuals and the intense chemistry between Aria and Kace is off the charts.
Aria and Kace are going strong when A Wicked Song begins. They’re falling deeper and deeper in love with each other, despite the mystery and the secrets surrounding them. There is still one thing in Kace’s past Aria doesn’t know, though, and when it comes out, will she stand by him? Or will he push her away?
This installment of the Brilliance Trilogy is even more intense, even more passionate and suspenseful than A Reckless Note. I loved it!
But then that damn cliffhanger. Not that I didn’t expect one, because I did, but still, I am on the edge of my seat now waiting with anticipation. I have to know how these two are going to get their shit together dammit!!
This is the second book in the Brilliance Trilogy and it is one intense read. It is not a standalone as it picks up from where the first book’s cliffhanger left off. From the inception, the lyric “Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire, my love is blind can’t you see my desire?” from the song That’s the Way Love Goes by Janet Jackson kept running through my mind. Aria and Kace are growing closer but new information comes to light that has Aria rethinking some things. Not one to let something precious go, Kace is willing to fight for what he wants and that is Aria. Gio is still missing which is causing some additional worry for Aria and last but not least, Alexander is looking to break up Aria and Kace. The question is why? There is so much to say about this exhilarating read with its twists that the author has so eloquently written that readers will feel as if they are on an extreme roller coaster ride of emotions. These characters are all-consuming and get into one’s pores. Prepare for the seduction of your life, if you are willing to go on the journey with Aria and Kace. I highly recommend this book and volunteered to read a copy of it.
Kace and Aria are in over their heads, can they with stand the truths are about to become reality? I got one cannot wait to find out.
Kane is amazing as ever, but his past is about to catch up with him and Aria. Kace is haunted by something that could change everything once his past unfolds will Aria stay or run?
Aria knows Gio is alive she has never lost her faith in that, now if he would answer her text. There is something going on and it’s tied to their past. Aria knows she needs to let Kace tell her about his past, but will she run once she knows the truths?
Kace and Aria grow on me with this installment. Kace is more intense as his past comes to light. Aria needs answers on her past as well as from Kace’s past. These two struggle to find the answers they seek, both of their past are tied together.
The plot to A Wicked Song by Lisa Renee Jones is the next installment in the Brilliance Trilogy in which we get more of Kace and Aria’s past. In true Lisa Renee Jones fashion the ending leaves you on the edge, waiting to see how it all ends.
Rated 5 Stilettos and a Recommended Read by Deb!
A wicked Song is book 2 of the Brilliance Trilogy. This is an intense book. There are some big secrets revealed and the end is a very unpredictable cliffhanger. I enjoyed this book very much and i can’t wait to read the conclusion to the series. The writing is phenomenal.
I am loving this series! Aria and Kace pull you in and don’t let go. The mystery and suspense abound. You think you are beginning to understand what is going on and, Bam! something happens that has you doubting what just happened. Ms Jones is a master at keeping you guessing all the way through. Her characters are so intense and their connection is strong. Kace knows he wants Aria in her life and yet he is afraid at times if she will run from him. Aria wants to believe Kace wants her for the woman she is and the feelings she knows are there and not for her name only. There is also the mystery of where her brother is and what has happened. There are definitely appearances of characters from other books of Ms Jones. Some have made appearances before in other books, like members of Walker Security. There is a surprise mention of two or three that we have not heard from in awhile which were unexpected. I was so excited when I came across them and hope to see more of them in the next book. The end of this book took me by surprise and had me so excited to begin the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Omg, is all I can say. Lisa has taken Kace and Aria’s story to a whole new level. A Wicked Song is the 5 star must read second book in the Brilliance Trilogy and is full of twists and turns while continuing the steamy chemistry between Kace and Aria.
Throughout the story, Aria learns things about her past and Kace as well. Even though it’s written solely from Aria’s point of view, Lusa has done a remarkable job of showing her readers the complexity of Kace’s character and how it entangles itself with Aria. The depth of the characters is both emotional and compassionate at every turn of events.
As in book one, A Reckless Note, Lisa has incorporated characters from past series. Chris, Sara, Mark, and Crystal )Inside Out Series), members of Walker Security, and Ella/Kayden (Careless Whispers Series) are also mentioned. If you have read any of these series you will love the connections. If you are not familiar with any of the mentioned series, that’s not a problem. Lisa uses these characters as connections and you do not have to read them to enjoy the Brilliance Trilogy. In A Wicked Song, the storyline gets more intense as it progresses and keeps you guess what’s on the next page. It does end in a major cliffhanger.
I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine and were not influenced by the author or her promotional team.
This series is just so intense and delicious. The stunning twists, raw emotions and nerve wracking tension just keep increasing as each book in this series unfolds. A roller coaster of intrigue, secrets, angst, and romance. Right from the start, I was giddy over this indulgent world of the Uber-rich and famous. And who doesn’t need some indulgence in these times. I am so invested in Aria and Kace. These characters really worked their way into my heart, while also totally consuming my mind. Their gripping story quickly captivated and pulled me back into this couples dangerous world.
This author always knows how to bring it. Teasing the reader, enticing you into the dark unknown, with a unspoken command. Burning you up with the heat, the danger and the delicious desires she delivers on every page. And although I am not a fan of cliffhangers, I know that I will enjoy the wait and the intensity of anticipation when she graces me with her stories again. Her words seducing me while the story consumes my soul, knowing that I am exactly where I want to be, enveloped in the passion and suspense of Lisa Renee Jones.
Received an early copy in exchange for an honest review.
GAH! I knew it was coming but I turned the last page and there it was…a cliffhanger! At least there is only a month to wait for the conclusion!! Kace and Aria are brought closer and weave their way throughout the few weeks of this story between the charity events. Aria is still looking for her brother Gio and The Walker firm has been brought in to help with not only find him but with the danger that seems to be lurking around. So many twists remain to be answered but this one kept me so captivated I read it practically one sitting. Definitely need to read the first book first so don’t skip it.
Really? Lisa, you just love your cliffhangers. We were left with unanswered questions once again. Now we have to wait for the conclusion to get those answers. We did get some of our questions we were left with from book one answered, at least. This is another fantastic series. It has to be read in order. Each book starts where the last one has ended. This book continues with Kace and Aria’s story. Kace has secrets and Aria is hiding in plain site. With that being the case, they don’t trust easily. They both want the control. Slowly, the two begin to build a life together. Letting each other in on bits and pieces of their pasts. Because of this, Aria is starting to let other people in. She’s still worried about her brother. So with the help of Walker Security they begin to piece things together in the search for Gio.
With Walker, we get Savage. And with Savage we get his humor. LOL. We also get Mark, Crystal, Chris and Sara. These couples are beginning to have a nice tight circle. This helps Aria with her trust issues. She’s no longer alone.
Kace and Aria still have many obstacles to go through, but will their love be strong enough to get them through anything thrown their way? Go grab this one today and follow along their journey.
That’s the thing about two damaged souls who connect. Sometimes they destroy each other. But when the stars align, when the souls align with them, you heal each other. You make each other stronger. -Aria
A WICKED SONG is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult BRILLIANCE erotic, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on musician/violinist Kace August, and twenty eight year old collector Aria Alard. A WICKED SONG should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one A RECKLESS NOTE. Several characters from the author’s Inside Out, Savage Trilogy and Walker Brothers series cross over for familiarity.
Told from first person perspective (Aria Alard) A WICKED SONG continues to follow the building romance and relationship between musician/violinist Kace August, and twenty eight year old collector Aria Alard. At the end of book one A RECKLESS NOTE Aria, believing her family heritage and her life on the run continues to remain a dangerous secret, quickly discovers that the man with whom she is falling in love knows more about her family than she could have ever imagined. Preparing for an upcoming concert with artist Chris Merit, Kace will come face to face with his own darkened past, a past that is desperate to destroy Kace’s relationship with our story line heroine, claiming betrayal and revenge, for sins of the past.
Meanwhile, Aria’s brother Gio is still missing. Presumably on the hunt for treasure with a woman whose identity remains a mystery to our story line heroine, Gio has not responded to Aria’s attempts at contact, and with this, Gio’s disappearance becomes Aria’s number one problem.
A WICKED SONG is a story of haunting secrets, issues of trust and heart breaking lies; betrayal and vengeance; relationships and love. The premise is spirited, edgy and intense; the characters are charismatic, energetic and flawed; the romance is intimate, erotic and provocative . A WICKED SONG ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
With our second installment of the Brilliance Trilogy, we find Aria on the run from Kace thinking he has betrayed her. That doesn’t last too long but Kace has a bit of explaining to do.
As Aria and Kace spend more time together, they fall head over heels with each other and it so sweet to watch. It takes them a bit to understand what is happening between them and trusting it is something they both have a bit of a hard time dealing with. The Sex is off the charts with Kace pushing Aria’s comfort zone, and as per LRJ’s style, she gives you plenty of answers but you will also have a ton more questions. The suspense is just getting more delicious with each word as you weave in and out of this story and it wraps you up so tightly you get to the end way to fast. And yes, there is a HUGE cliffhanger!!
All of the cameos from other books are awesome and helps put this entire world of friends together. Aria and Kace fit very naturally with this group of people as some of their experiences are intertwined and yes.. Mark is still surly!
Well, at least we won’t have long to find out what happens next!
