“5/5 Beaming Brains!” – Laura, Lit-Up My Mind
I really enjoy this authors books, especially when they have a suspense twist written in them. Grayson is the hot billionaire whose girlfriend Mia has left him a couple of years prior due to a misunderstanding, but he wants her back. Mia has gone to work for Grayson’s major competitor, but there’s more to it, and once Mia finally finds her way back to Grayson, the sparks really fly. Loved the passion between these two, really enjoyed Eric and Davis and their strong friendship with Grayson. I think the only thing that was a bit annoying with this story, which is so unusual with this author, was the repetitive dialog with why, how, and Mia’s insecurity with her departure from the relationship. Got kind of old, which is the only reason why I gave it a four star review.
Overall another great book, can’t wait to read the follow up these two and Eric’s story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
Another page turner by Lisa Renee Jones. This book places two characters that found their second chance and wouldn’t stop until they got there! Great read with some cameo appearances from the Walker Brothers. Twists and turns that made you just want to get to their happily ever after! Another hit on your hands Lisa!

~~4.5 SCINTILLATING SECOND CHANCE STARS! ~~
Lisa Renee Jones has struck gold once again in DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL, the sizzling hot, uber intense, and thrillingly suspenseful fourth standalone in her wildly addictive Dirty Rich series!
THE STORY:
This is Grayson Bennett and Mia Cavanaugh’s story, a high octane second chance tale that holds your heart hostage from page one! Grayson is the rich billionaire tycoon who was previously introduced in Dirty Rich Obsession but if you thought you knew what this devilishly sexy bad boy player was really about, you couldn’t be more wrong!
Two and a half years ago, it was love/lust at first sight for Grayson when he met Mia, a beautiful and brilliant minded criminal law associate who was just hired to work at the Bennett Empire. Despite him being 8 years older and technically one of her bosses, she is equally attracted to this devastatingly handsome blue-blood and suddenly they found themselves swept up in a whirlwind love affair. But they crashed and burned courtesy of a vicious vendetta which led her to believe that her lover had betrayed her. Shattered, Mia turned her back on Grayson, without allowing him to explain, abruptly quit the firm and ran far, far away. Reeling with hurt and outrage at her desertion, and his belief that she aligned herself with the enemy, Gray poured everything into ruling the family empire and tried to f*ck her out of his system. But no one could ever fill Mia’s shoes.
Now the past and present collide as Mia returns armed with explosive information about a deadly conspiracy that could help save Grayson from ruin. But even as these ex-lovers team up to neutralized the threat and take down their common enemy, their reunion is fraught with turmoil. For as it turns out, mending their shattered hearts and righting past wrongs is easier said than done. The stakes are raised higher than ever as peril, pain and pleasure reaches a fever pitch, but the verdict is still out whether they can truly salvage what they once lost. Especially with a dangerous foe conspiring to pull them apart forever!
MY MUSINGS:
I swear I fall deeper in love with the Dirty Rich series with each new book! And holy smokes…talk about a scintillating romance that keeps you on your toes and breathlessly turning the pages! As always, Lisa Renee Jones crafts a tantalizingly erotic page-turner set in the glitzy corporate world! She flawlessly blends smoldering passion, twisty suspense, edge of your seat drama and blistering emotion together to create a beautifully paced, UTTERLY UNPUTDOWNABLE tale that resonates deeply!
I LOVE the second chance trope because there is so much pre-existing angst and frenzied passion and tumultuous discord, and Mia and Grayson are ON FIRE! Their tempestuous reunion is deliciously torridly and ravishingly sexy and soul shatteringly emotional, and the escalating danger and subterfuge swirling around them magnifies their feelings TO THE MAX! And when these two combust in the bedroom it’s ELECTRIFYING!
Mia and Grayson have a VERY complicated past, and a soul burning love that was temporarily doused but never truly extinguished. The story, which transitions between scenes from the past and the present shed lights on their tumultuous history and gives strong rooting value to this couple who crave each other—ferociously—even when they want to wring each other’s necks!!
One of the biggest draws of this author for me is that she concocts the most POWERFULLY COMMANDING, FIERCELY PROTECTIVE, DOMINATING ALPHA MALES who love their women with every single breath they take, and Grayson sure made my heart flutter like a wild thing in my chest! This filthy rich, utterly magnetic man oozes predatory sex appeal and is even more lethal now that he’s been pushed to the brink!
It’s fascinating to watch him in action as he walks a treacherous tightrope between love and revenge, honor and dishonor, driven by all consuming passion and a quest to grind his enemy to dust! Sighhh, his devotion toward Mia, the woman he still desperately wants to possess—and protect— despite how furious he still is at her for believing the worst of him is so potent and breathtakingly tender I positively melted! He will do anything for Mia, and I mean ANYTHING!
As for the heroine, it took me a “bit longer” to jump on the #TeamMia bandwagon, if I am being completely honest. It rankled how she so quickly jumped to conclusions about Grayson and abandoned the man she supposedly loved —twice— without allowing him to explain. But she did eventually come to her senses and redeem herself in my eyes!
And you’ve got to admire this heroine, a gutsy, driven, savvy career woman who rose up from her humble beginnings to become a successful lawyer. Yet despite having to fight her way to the top she still has a soft vulnerable side which I really like. Nevertheless, she refuses to cower to any man—especially Grayson–who she thinks betrayed her. But ultimately her undying love for him trumps all, and I was shouting with glee when the undeniable truth comes to light and she not only owns up to her mistakes but atones for her grievous error in judgment by standing by her man AT ALL COSTS!
This “beautifully, perfectly flawed” couple’s journey back together amid danger, corruption and unspeakable treachery is not an easy one. But they are both determined to work their way through an emotional landmine of the misunderstandings and betrayal, while fighting tooth and nail to outsmart the bad guy. And sure, at times their stubborn pride proved to be their worst enemy but once they get their heads on straight together they prove unstoppable!
BOTTOM LINE:
DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL gave me all the feels, had me biting my nails to the quick, clutching my chest and kept me titillated throughout! It goes without saying they we get our swoon-worthy HEA (which was epic!) and the icing on the cake is a clever crossover from Blake Walker and Kara from the mega popular Tall, Dark & Deadly series which fans will undoubtedly enjoy. Now I can’t wait for the next explosive installment in the DIRTY RICH series!
Dirty Rich Betrayal is the fourth book in this series, which I have not read the first 3 of, but I jumped in and didn’t miss a beat. Grayson is entirely alpha male. He is wealthy, he is in charged, and he protects those who mean the most to him which includes Mia. Mia is everything to him and his biggest rival is out to take him down using her.
I devoured Grayson and Mia’s story. While some of the scenes make me blush and the language used isn’t my style I couldn’t put the book down when it came to the drama of the take down, the heat of their love, and the unending devotion to each other. They are a couple that when apart fails to live their lives but together they flourish and surround each other with so much love and respect that can’t do anything but succeed.
The secondary characters of the book were great also. They showed how much they respected each other, trusted each other, and just how true their friendships were. While some are work friends, some are social friends, there is never a doubt that Grayson and Mia only have friends that they trust and love.
Dirty Rich Betrayal was angst-filled, emotional, steamy, twisty second chance romance that started out fast with a bang. There is danger, betrayal, lies, heartbreak, intrigue, & some super sexy times. Some of the book goes from past to present to better understand how things happened. We see a few characters from previous Dirty Rich stories.
I loved the chemistry between the main characters, Grayson and Mia. Their love, passion, and devotion to one another was palpable. They’d do anything for each other but their love hasn’t always been easy. They’ve experienced heartache, betrayal, lies, and misunderstandings. Can they find the forgiveness they both so desperately need to have a second chance at a love of a lifetime?
I love the way Lisa Renee Jones can combine a passionate romance with suspense, mystery, and intrigue. This story was well written and the characters relatable and likeable. I enjoyed reading this book and recommend reading it.
****ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.****
Mia and Grayson find that sometimes love is not enough. There has to be more. But how can there be more when someone(s) are making sure that the two don’t stay together and when the get together its not for long. No you want understand it all from the beginning but watching it all unfold makes for the ride of it all. Dirty Rich Betrayal brings you the goods. A man that loves one woman. A woman that loves this man. And someone that want nothing more than to keep them apart. Mia and Graysoon are characters that a full of depth, passion, and each other. What they lack is the full details and a greater level of trust. We get love, hate, passion, chemistry, and more from and between Mia and Grayson. The deeds of the past unfold and you see the past and present. This was no rushed ride, but turning page after page built the anticipation to see where, who, why, and how.
Second (third) chance to make the first time better. And the first chance to hand over the keys to the world he runs. Both love the other and somehow their love got betrayed. Come in an see from the past to the present and see who betrayed whom or was it all a set-up. This one was steep in emotions, deception, misdirection, intensity, and soul deep love. Once you start you will want to continue on until the very last page. And you will keep turning page after page. Its deep and pulls you all the way in.
I felt every moment of Mia & Grayson’s journey & was rooting for them the whole time. I loved Grayson’s Alpha tendencies & protectiveness yet vulnerability, & Mia’s feistiness. Such a good book that you will not regret reading!
Can’t wait for the next story in this series!!

Lisa Renee Jones
This series is addictive. Mia and Grayson’s story is phenomenal. I loved the intricate layout of their relationship as past and present are interwoven for maximum effect.
A whirlwind romance of betrayal and broken hearts, the plot pulses with crushed dreams, revenge, barely restrained possessive passion, and a path to forgiveness paved with sharp explanations and painful redemption. I truly enjoyed this new style as the characters part from a moment in their relationship that reeks of failure and wounded hearts.
They are madly in love, but are trying to sword their way through a maze of lies and anger. All the while, a common enemy is cornering them with devious plans to destroy them. It gets thrilling when danger flares up and a team of experts who are characters I’m fond of put all their skills and resources to good use to investigate, protect, spy and destroy. I absolutely loved the new installment in this series of stand-alone suspense romances. This couple is potent, the plot is smartly deployed, and the lighthouse is now my ideal romantic spot. Beautiful 🙂
Another fantastic story for this series! I love how the story was told: in dual time, past flashbacks and present day, so we get to see the relationship between Gray and Mia and what lead up to the scene that Mia walked in on. I loved how dedicated Gray is about Mia. That is a man who loves his woman unequivocally. And Mia is the same way when it comes to Gray; of course they’re both devastated by the turn of events, but that is the same reason why they’ve come together again: to deal with the person responsible for their shared heartache. This is a great second chance at love story, but it’s also got the right amount of suspense and action woven into, and we get to see the Walker Security team again.
Grayson & Mia’s story was brilliant.
I’ve loved reading through this series (to read this book you don’t need to have read any of the others)
There’s was a romance that they had fight for, I like how we get to see both POV & also that we get to see their past & the now.
I don’t normally like many books like that but Lisa writes this really well.
I can’t want too see what’s next I really love Lisa’s books 🙂

Mia is a criminal lawyer who was hired by Bennett Firm which is where she met Grayson. Grayson is a lawyer as well as the CEO and owner of Bennett Firm. From the moment that he met Mia he knew that she was the one for him and she returned his feelings until the day she believed that he betrayed and she left his firm and his life without allowing him to explain and they haven’t spoken since.
Three years later she reappears in Grayson’s life when she uncovers a threat against him and even though their relationship imploded she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to him. Grayson has never stopped loving Mia and he is determined to fix the misunderstandings of the past so that they can be together the way they were always meant to be.
This is a second chance at love story filled with heat, intrigue and twists as Mia and Grayson try to find their way back to each other and deal with the threat against him as well.
Another 5 Star read by Lisa Renee Jones! I first fell in love with her Walker Security series, then I started reading the Dirty Rich books. This one can certainly be read as a stand alone but it is awesome how she weaves some of your favorite characters from her other books into it. I love getting a little glimpse at where their life has gone. Also the stories have some suspense and law detail to them. Not to mention the strong sexy characters with great chemistry. You can’t go wrong by one clicking this one. Enjoy!
OMG!!!! What a whirlwind this book was. Lisa Renee Jones never disappoints when she mixes a little mystery and intrigue with a hot and steamy couple. Grayson and Mia’s story takes place over a few years through flashbacks, however the actual story covers about a week and what a wonderful week it was. I love how characters from other books make an appearance, it’s like seeing old friends again. This book had a little mystery and lots of hot, hot, hot sex. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
I definitely have a love-hate relationship with this book. It’s no secret I love the writing style and the stories that she puts out. But I also hated the fact that she chose to pretty much start this book in the middle of the story.
I was confused. I thought I missed something from another book. But no! She was just reeling me in further and further into the story. And the further I got in it, the more I loved it.
This is the story of a love gone terribly wrong. But who betrayed whom? How can it be that both people have broken hearts yet can’t seem to find their way back again?
Grayson is complex yet straightforward about his feelings for her. She admits she loves him deeply. But yet they are broken and so are we as we struggle to come to terms with the past and the present.
Jones wrote this story in such a manner that you can feel your own heart being shredded apart. Random tears would appear. As they work to try and figure it all out, pieces of the puzzle would fall into place. But the question still there… Who betrayed whom?
Emotional, steamy, with deep intensity, make sure you have your tissues when you dive into this one.
Another winner and a five star read! Not to be missed!
I loved everything about this book and this book had everything…love, lost, lust, misunderstanding, supposed betrayal, the ultimate betrayal, and a second chance. It had all the feels and had me hooked from page one and I found my kindle attached to me until I finished it. Grayson and Mia meet by chance and even though Grayson is a billionaire several times over Mia hates his money but she loves him in spite of it. These two are perfect for each other and really soul mates and when circumstances conspire against them, when faced with a misunderstanding, Mia runs and will not listen to Grayson. It takes an overheard conversation to get her back but once she is back, Grayson is not letting her go. Now they have to work to repair what caused the tear and stop what is coming. Oh, and the Walkers show up too! This one can be read as a standalone. I definitely recommend this one!
5 FANTASTIC STARS!! I read this fantastic book like a speed demon, I could not put it down. Grayson and Mia are a perfect match, it was fun watching their second chance romance play out. This story was full of suspense, betrayal and sexy times. Lisa Renee Jones is one of my favorite authors of all times, she keeps us readers glued to the pages.
Lisa Renee Jones has done it again. She has brought out another great love story. This story is of a love that seemed lost but this deep kind of love can never be destroyed. Mia and Grayson’s story is such a deep and emotional love that it plays right off the pages. As always it seems as if I was watching another one of her “movies” in my head. Her words bring you into the story and you totally feel the love, pain and redemption.
This book was wonderful but the cherry on top of this story is Mia being Grayson’s Hero! What a lady!
Bravo Lisa! Bravo!!!
The Dirty Rich series continues with Dirty Rich Betrayal that brings Grayson Bennett’s story. It’s full of suspense, action, romance, forgiveness, acceptance and second chances. Mistakes were made, questions were never asked, and regret and forgiveness brings two people back together when circumstances rise to the surface forcing both Grayson and Mia to fight for what they once had. Questions will be asked and truths will be told.
Mia had her heart broken by Grayson but he was still the love of her life. Grayson, (goodness gracious, yes, please!!!) has never stopped loving her either. Outside forces were against them but would that stop them from getting to the bottom of who was out to get Grayson.
Mia was willing to do anything to help find out who it was, even put herself in danger. Grayson didn’t want anything to happen to her. She’s strong willed though and will do what needs to be done.
Will Grayson and Mia find out all the secrets of who is trying to take him down and will stop at nothing to do it before it’s too late?
I freaking loved Grayson!!! *Sigh*
