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 book was so good. I couldn’t put it down. I had to know what happened next. Aria is starting to trust a few more people. Her brother is still MIA. Kace and Aria relationship is heating up. I love these two together. They are trusting each other more and realizing they are good for one another. I love how Sara gave her good advice and was there for her. That is what a friend is all about. Crystal is another one that is a great friend to her and allowing her to be apart of their company. That cliffhanger though. I can’t wait to read the next book. I need it now lol. I need to know what happens next. I highly recommend reading this series. Definitely didn’t disappoint. Another great read Lisa Renee Jones. Love this book and series. I still haven’t figured out Alexander yet.
I have been waiting for more of Kace and Aria’s story since the cliffhanger of an ending in book one, A Reckless Note. This book picks up right where things left off for these two characters.
I was quickly sucked back into the world of Kace and Aria and I loved every single moment of this book. Some questions were answered; however, many more questions came up. Plus, Aria is still trying to locate her brother, Gio.
Their chemistry is continuing to grow throughout this story and I love their relationship. Kace is protective of Aria, he doesn’t want her to leave his site, but he isn’t annoyingly overly protective. I love the visits from other characters, too.
The mystery continues throughout A Wicked Song and we are left with another jaw dropping cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the conclusion of this story to see how everything comes together and to see Kace and Aria’s relationship progress.
** spoiler alert ** Maestro “A Wicked Song is Magnificent “ this story will own your heart. It is just the right recipe filled with betrayal, suspense, haunting mystery, a harmonious romance. It is full of weakness, strength, courage and hope.

Watch the daisies bow in the wind they are delicate and fierce like our instruments, like our family. They bend but they do not break.: Listen to the music in your heart.”
Kace and Aria were destined from the beginning, finding one another was Kismet, the One Daisy in the Wind and the Bow! BEAUTIFUL.
”That is the thing about two damaged souls who connect. Sometimes they destroy each other. But when the starts align, when the souls align with them, you heal each other. You make each other stronger. In my heart of hearts, I believer he makes me stronger. I dare to believe that I just might do the same for him.”

“When you walked into the room and my heart had been stolen. You took me back in time to when I was unbroken.
When they return to New York Aria has a strange urgency to return to her building……. cliffhanger heaven everyone…
I am totally enamored with this series and I so can’t wait for A Sinful Encore coming in September…..
Thank you to Lisa Renee Jones for writing this remarkably masterpiece. I really cannot wait for #3.
A Wicked Song picks up right where book #1 A Reckless Note left off. Kace and Aria’s story is full of passion, steam, mystery, secrets, and lies. A cast of wonderful characters we love from other series adds more to the story. Another cliffhanger ending left me screaming for more! Can’t wait for the next book!
What a freaking cliffhanger, I am not sure if I love or hate this author at the moment. WOAH!!! The last few chapters were quite the roller coaster of emotions and dump of information and so many new questions. I absolutely love this series and the characters especially how they are all “hiding” in some way from a past they think no one will understand. I cannot even image what is in store for us in book 3, but I know it will be incredible and worth the wait. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
A Wicked Song is book 2 in the Brilliance Trilogy by Lisa Renee Jones. I love this series so much!!!! This book picked up where book one, A Reckless Note ended with that heart-stopping cliffhanger. The hot romance between Kace and Aria will keep you fanning yourself and with all the mysteries, secrets and danger, you will stay on the edge of your seat. And that cliffhanger…. well lets just say book 3 can’t get here fast enough. I highly recommend this book, this series and especially this author. This book deserves so much more than 5 stars!!
A Wicked Song is just as intense as the first book was, perhaps even a little more. With help from their security team, Aria is feeling somewhat confident that she will find her brother Gio. I can’t help but wonder if finding him will mean more danger to her.
The suspense is mounting as I read seeing the connection and early love between Aria and Kace. And at the end we are left with a doozy of a cliffhanger, fortunately we are only a few days away from the conclusion. The last book in the trilogy which I expect to have lots of twists and suspense, one of the reasons I love Lisa’s books.
Wickedly love this book! 5 stars
Kace and Aria go through some emotional upheaval in this book, and it affected me too. After the cliffhanger from book 1 gets resolved, Kace keeps telling Aria that she will run once she finds out about his past, so I was reading as fast as I could to see what I would find out. Aria still thinks she and her brother are in danger, so this gave me another reason to read as fast as I could to find out if she truly is. Kace and Aria have become necessary to each other in the short time they have been together, and their chemistry and connection crackled through the pages. They crave each other, and I devoured every moment between them. Aria is changing for the better, opening up, trusting people and trusting herself, and it was beautiful to read. She is letting herself be happy, instead of alone, and I was so happy for her. Kace is still “damaged, complicated, demanding yet sweet,” and I couldn’t get enough of him just like Aria. They are “two damaged souls who connect,” and I was connected to them and this book. This book had me in its wicked grip until the last page, and what a last page it was as it was a doozy of a cliffhanger! I can’t wait for the third and final book! I love and highly recommend this book and series!
*I received an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review.*
I have to say that the cliffhanger of book one was a biggie. But book two picks up from there and continues with the wild ride.
As Aria and Kace grow closer, she still fears for her identity being revealed to the wrong people. And she still hasn’t heard from her brother. Kace brings Walker Security on board to help keep Aria safe. But there are still some secrets between them.
Who is after the formula and why do they want Aria and her family dead? Where is her brother Gio? Why does Alexander want to split her and Kace up? Will their secrets drive them apart?
This series is one of those that will grab you from the very first page and not let go until the very end, but the cliffhangers will have you screaming “You can’t end it there!” At least book three is only a month away.
Author Lisa Renee Jones has a way of writing a story that takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and will leave you feeling worn out and your heart bleeding and shattered. But don’t worry, she will put it back together eventually. So sit back and enjoy this series, I hope you love it as much as I have.
**I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**
What a great book! It’s Brilliant! The wait for book 3… It will be a killer, but it will be worth it!
This books picks up right as A Reckless Note ends.
Aria injured and leaving and a lot of unanswered questions.
Aria still thinks she and her brother are in danger, and Kace keeps telling Aria that she will run once she finds out about his past..
But they crave each other, and Aria is changing for the better, opening up, trusting people and trusting herself.
Kace is damaged, complicated, but so sweet to Aria..
The depth of their feelings only grows stronger with every obstacle!
The friends of Kace, Chris and Sara, Mark and Crystal…so great to see them al back! and the women get along so great!
And then….The ending… A spectacular cliffhanger!!
I am all in for the final book!!
Awesome job LIsa, thank you!!
A Wicked Song picks up right where A Reckless Note left off and you will just love it. This series is beyond amazing. A Wicked Song sucks you in and does not let go. A fantastic read with several revelations coming to life and of course those little twists and turns that Lisa Renee Jones is known for. Aria and Kace are still hot and heavy and searching for answers to what happened to Gio and Aria’s families past. Search is on for more Stradivarius violins out there. There is such a mystery behind everything that I for one cannot wait to find all the answers too. Gio seems to be a key but so does Kace and Aria’s past. I love Kace and Aria together so much. I want to say so much more about this book but this book needs to be read because I’m not spilling anything. I can’t wait for a Sinful Encore to finally get all the answers to the Brilliance Trilogy. This is a must read book and series.
This picks up exactly where book one ended. Almost immediately, everything begins moving at warp speed as Aria and Kace deal with a relationship that promises to be more, the threat to Aria’s secret being revealed and the disappearance of her brother.
Watching this couple grow closer together as they work to solve the problems surrounding them had me alternately swooning or gasping. There is no denying that their chemistry is hot and why wouldn’t it be when you’ve got a smexy hero like Kace?
I love how this author manages to slowly unravel the mystery a step at a time without ever cluing us in to what the ultimate reveal will be. While I knew this was going to end in a cliffhanger, getting to the end was quite a ride filled with plenty of the Walker guys, my favorite Inside Out characters and new revelations that left me shocked.
Wow, I can’t wait for the next book, what a cliffhanger. This author really knows how to write suspense/mystery. I love the twist and turns and it’s never predictable. I love these characters Kace and Aria, their chemistry lead to some really steamy scenes. I also love how their are characters in here from her other stories. I love seeing them intertwined.
Nothing short of amazing! Going into the story, I knew it was a trilogy and each one so far has left us hanging. But there is still a fantastic story to read – and reread – because the characters are so complex that you can’t speed read through this one.
Kace and Aria have chemistry – no doubt about that but trust isn’t so easy to have for either of them. Both of them have stormy family history that influences everything they do, including relationships with others. Moving in circles of wealthy people complicates that even more but they can’t deny (and don’t want) that they are good together and good for each other.
So now that I’ve told you nothing about the story, start from the beginning of this trilogy and expect the unexpected!
I received an ARC from the author for an honest and unbiased review.
I couldn’t put this book down. It picks up right where A Reckless Note leaves off and has a cliff hanger ending. Kace and Aria are a new favorite book couple. This is a sexy read and they work together through their posts to make it work. Can’t wait to read the next in the series.
Aria and Kace burn so bright. They just light up the pages. There is still a lot of push and pull for trust but fear wins out and secrets remain; secrets that could shred them.
Savage and Blake make their return as Walker Security helps with protection for both and joins the search for Gio.
Alexander annoys me, like a gnat flying around that you just want to smush. He’s got his own motives but he keeps popping up to save the day and start sharing those dreadful secrets. He’s very unlikable.
Chris and Sara, Mark and Crystal. They’re friends with Kace and all three women get along famously.
Aria and Kace are moving at the speed of light, their relationship and emotions ruling their every move. But the secrets are there to destroy and the unknown enemy just lurking behind every corner.
Their story continues build at a crescendo pace with discord striking A Wicked Song.
Holy heck! What an awesome book! As the second book in author Lisa Renee Jones fabulous Brilliance trilogy, this book is definitely a nail biter. When we last saw Aria and Kace, their future was uncertain and danger potentially lurked around every corner. Now, as they navigate the curiously similar circumstances of their lives, events around them will start to spin out of control. Alexander is still a thorn in everyone’s side, and he wants Aria, but why? Does he know who she really is? What, if any, threat is he posing? I was hooked and literally read it in one day! I am more than eagerly anticipating the third book in this wonderful series! I did receive an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Lisa Renee Jones does not rest on her laurels with the second book in her Brilliance Trilogy; A Wicked Song. If anything it’s more dramatic, intriguing and spellbinding than A Reckless Note. So many tantalizing tidbits of information and questions are sprinkled throughout with just enough answers provided to keep you turning the page. It’s the epitome of a finely crafted romantic suspense.
Kace August and Aria Alard are exquisite characters with dark pasts. They have a surprising shared history that gives them a real connection. As the mystery of the Gio’s disappearance deepens, Walker Security works on unraveling it while providing security for Kace and Aria.There are too many coincidences and they both may be at risk.
OH MY! Picking up right where we were left off, book two is amazing. Kace and Aria are still getting to know each other, but Kace knows more than he let’s on. When Walker Security gets involved, you know sheets about to get real, and that is exactly what happens. We are still searching for brother Gio, and getting leads that go nowhere. But DAYUM that cliffy. Book three is a month away, and I’m already counting the days!
*If you do not like cliffys, I suggest you wait until September to start reading!
4.5-4.75 STARS
In this second installment to Lisa Renee Jones’ Brilliance Trilogy, “A Wicked Song” picks up right where “A Reckless Note” left us dangling. We watch as Aria and Kace continue to navigate the complexities of their relationship, while the mystery behind Gio’s disappearance intensifies.
As with the first book, the chemistry between Aria and Kace is simply off the charts! But the depth of their feelings only grows stronger with each obstacle that this couple overcomes. And also like the first book, LRJ fans will delight in all the moments spent getting reacquainted with Crystal, Mark, Sara, Chris, and the Walker Security team.
Not surprisingly, “A Wicked Song” leaves the reader dangling from yet another cliff. Thankfully, the wait for the final installment will not be very long, and the answers to all of the questions I’ve been craving will soon be within my reach.
