From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, the first book in the CARELESS WHISPERS series. This is a spin-off of the INSIDE OUT series (in development for TV) that follows Ella Ferguson, Sara McMillan’s best friend.
Ella Ferguson awakes alone in Italy, unsure of who she is, and a gorgeous man has claimed her as his own. He’s tall, dark, and sexy, with money and power, the kind of … money and power, the kind of man who makes a girl want to be possessed. And he does possess her, whispering wicked wonderful promises to her, stealing her trust and her heart. Soon though, the past finds her, yanking her from a cocoon of passion and safety. Everything is not how it seems. The truth will shatter her world, but it can set her free, if it doesn’t destroy her first.

First book in this new series focusing on Ella. Twists and turns and so, so good
Denial by Lisa Renee Jones is packed with mystery, intrigue, suspense, danger and red hot romance. How do you live your life when you don’t know your name, where you come from or where you’re going? All you can remember is your name, Ella, and nothing more. Who do you trust? The man who says he rescued you, who seems so familiar but says he doesn’t know you? Kayden Wilkens radiates power and confidence. He says he’s trying to keep Ella safe from the head of the mafia, but why? Trying to figure who she is is both frustrating and frightening. Kayden is determined to keep her safe at all costs.
Finally, a series that is just as phenomenal as the Inside Out Series! I’ve been looking for a series that would blow my mind! Well, it looks like I found it in “Denial” She brought us back to the underworld and enchantment. All at the same time! How does she do that? God knows that Lisa Renee Jones seriously fucked with your brain!! Plus that cliffhanger!! WTF?????
This book is what I’d call a slow burn. There are so many questions and too many things that you need to know or be aware of. It requires you to process and think as you try to catalog thoughts and feelings. You become a detective. Trying to piece together a life you don’t recognize as your own.
Sometimes a blank slate is good but for her it is anything but. She doesn’t remember anything and yet he feels familiar. His beautiful eyes keep her ensnared. He is helping her and he is promising her everything. But can he really be this “super”?
Doubt, feelings, and facts all jumble and leave you at the very end of this book with even more questions than you started!
Danger Will Robinson indeed!

This is the first book by Lisa Renee Jones that I have read and it certainly won’t be the last. I have read many “suspense” type books and usually by the end you have an idea of how things will go, not this time, I am 100% completely confused and its great. I can’t wait to see what is next for Ella and Kayden, I can only imagine it will continue to be an up and down, loop to loop roller coaster of emotions that I don’t see coming.
The first thing Ella Ferguson sees when she awakes is most amazing set of blue eyes that belong to the most beautiful man she has ever laid eyes on. She is not quite sure who he is, but there is something familiar about him and she is left with the deepest desire to know everything there is to know about him. She struggles with her own identity and wants to know how she ended up in the hospital, so he proceeds to tell her that she is the victim of a mugging and that he came to her rescue. Everything from her past is a blur and she has no recollection of how she even got to Italy, let alone what her own name is, but her blue eyed hero ensures her that he will be there to help her sort everything out. She isn’t so sure she should be trusting her life to a complete stranger, but with her life in danger, and with her identity still in limbo, she decides to rely on her instincts and put her life in his hands…
After losing his adoptive father Kayden inherits his business and the wealth that came along with it. He loves his work, and the danger that surrounds it feeds his need for power and control. He has deep seated demons, that are constantly lingering in the back of his mind, and effect every decision he makes, especially his latest decision to come to the rescue of a beautiful woman who has lost her memory and life is in grave danger. While he tries to resist her, there is a magnetic pull between them that cannot be denied, she tempts him in ways that he never thought possible, and she has him considering things he shut the door on a long time ago. Now he must keep her safe until she can regain her memory, and hope that he isn’t part of those lost memories, or he may just lose the best thing that’s ever happened to him…
This was my first experience with Ms. Jones work, and all I can say is “Wow”!!! This story DEFINITELY took me by surprise, and had me regretting not picking up one of her books until now. This story had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, it was so addictive, and the little cliffhanger at the end has me dying to get my hands on the next installment! Kayden and Ella immediately pulled me into their world and had me hanging onto every word, their chemistry creates an unwavering intensity throughout the entire story, and each encounter they share will leave you in dire need for a fan!
This is by far one of the best introductions to a new author that I have had in a very long time, and definitely one of the most addictive reads that I have had the pleasure of reading!! Highly recommend this one, it is sure to satisfy all of your reading needs…and then some!!
