He was passion and the reason I breathed. I loved him, trusted him when life taught me to trust no one. He was nothing I thought he was. He wasn’t even the man he said he was. He was dangerous. Everyone told me to hide, to run, but now he’s back. He came for me and I’m not running at all. Because he’s still the man that gave me a reason to breathe and if that’s dangerous, that’s a risk I will … have to take.
Ashley’s story – you met her in Dirty Rich Cinderella Story, and now she’s ready to tell her story. You do not need to read any book prior to this one.

OMG, WOW what an amazing read. I loved this book from the moment that I started reading and could not put it down no matter what was going on elsewhere.
It moves along at the perfect reading pace which makes it an enjoyable read as you are not getting stuck between paragraphs or chapters. The characters are amazing and you cannot help but fall in love with them. No matter what you want to see them overcome whatever may get in there way.
I cannot wait to read Book 2 and see what happens next. This book left me on the edge of my seat and I am extremly impatient for the next.
This has to be read there is no doubt about it.
Dirty Rich Secrets by Lisa Renee Jones is book 11/ Part 1 in the Dirty Rich series . This starts the story of Aaron/ Noah and Ashley. If you’ve read any of the ‘Dirty Rich’ books , you’ll have met Ashley in previous books already. She is Cole Brooks’ assistant and paralegal. We find Ashley is in witness protection, going by the name Sandy and is a travel agent. This is a huge difference than the law firm that we last saw her at when her life was blown apart when a sexy man named Noah came into her life and became her world. Then in a split second, he ripped her world apart , forcing her to go into hiding without knowing what or why.
This is where this book picks up. This is written pretty much in Ashley’s POV. She finds out the man she loved was bad and now people want her dead. Now Aaron/Noah has found her and wants her to run away with him but she doesn’t trust him. This is a deliciously dark romantic suspense novella that will have you on the edge of your seat as Ashley is trying to get at the truths, will she be able to forget and forgive the lies. It’s a very good rollercoaster ride of emotions. I can’t wait for book 2.
My Rating : 4.5 stars ******
Jones has done it again. With Aaron and Ashley there is no halfway. All in is the way to play the game and the stakes have never been higher. Danger haunts them, fear drives them and love may not be enough to save them, but they won’t go down without a fight. Dirty Rich Secrets is a fast paced thriller that will steal your breath, even as it burns itself into your heart and blows your mind.
A brilliant first part of a novella trilogy that is jam packed with action, mysterious intrigue, twists and hot seductions. There’s flash backs that bring you up to date with Ashley. And Noah (or Aaron) reveals that he was not a dirty undercover CIA agent, that he was set up. There’s plenty of nail biting action, terrific writing and a huge cliffhanger that I can’t wait to get my hands on.
A thrilling start to this exciting read!
Well, this trilogy started off with a bang and ended even bigger! I’ve been eager to find out Ashley’s story for sometime now. Jones throws us right into things with Ashley and Noah. This was both a positive and a negative for me. I love that we get right into the story but the build of their actual relationship happened behind the scenes throughout the series and learning about it through flashbacks makes things hard to follow at times and took me out of the current timeline a bit too much. That being said, I’m loving their present! Even after everything that happened between them, these two are on fire. The entire novella is action packed and incredibly suspenseful. Jones isn’t giving away much in this one; we are no closer to discovering what is really going on, and I have to say, it made this story exhilarating! The ending left me in a free fall. My heart is in my stomach and I need answers.
I am running out of way to explain and describe just how much I love and enjoy books written by Lisa Renee Jones. Ashley and Aaron’s story is fast paced, action packed and sprinkled with some heat! I am so curious to see what happens next with these 2 and if they will somehow get their happily ever after despite all the obstacles they face. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book for any honest review.
Dirty Rich Secrets is a fast paced romantic suspense. Edgy, intense, full of thrilling secrets, adventure, suspense, intrigue and deception. As well as sizzling chemistry and passion. It will leave you begging for MORE!
In the witness protection program to protect her, Ashley wishes she had never fallen in love with a man, that destroyed her life. But when he finds her, he once again entwines her into his dangerous world. He is pure temptation. A craving she can’t seem to resist. Even as danger is everywhere.
Hold on tight! Your adrenaline will have you on the edge of your seat, with your heart pounding, as this series pulls you in and leaves you breathlessly wanting the next in this series. I find this kind of book, so very hard to resist.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
GAH! I will start right off with saying there is a cliffhanger and it is a doosy but that is okay because books 2 and 3 are promised within the next couple weeks! Ashley (Cole’s assistant) fell in love with the wrong man and had to go into the Witness Protection Program and now she is living in Austin but Noah (Aaron) has found her! This book is full of twists and turns and heart-stopping thrills. We are given glimpses of their past and their future doesn’t look promising. But wait, there’s more! …and I’m not giving anything away, mostly because I’m left in the dark with everyone else! I cannot wait for book 2!
This is part 1 of a part 3 novella series. We met Ashley in a previous Dirty Rich book, and now we get to find out what happened to her, this is her story. Noah/Aaron is an undercover CIA agent, with secrets and enemies, her uses Ashley, falls in love with her and drags her into his dangerous world, he leaves and she ends up relocated in the witness protection program and alone. He finds her can love be enough with all the secrets and lies?If he can find her then his enemies can too! Is he a dirty agent or being set up? Can she trust him when danger follows? This book is face-paced, well written with romance, suspense and a MAJOR CLIFFHANGER!! Anxiously awaiting the continuation of Ashley and Noah/Aaron story.
Dirty Rich Secrets by Lisa Renee Jones is book One in the Dirty Rich Secrets. This starts the story of Aaron ‘Noah’ and Ashley.
Ashley is the main character in this book but we did meet her in the previous book Dirty Rich Cinderella, with that said this can be a standalone book. Ashley is in the witness protection program/ relocated. Ashley believes that Aaron is not to be trusted but her heart tells her different but he had secrets that he hadn’t shared with her. Now Aaron is back trying to fix things but the danger is still there. This does end with a cliffhanger setting us up for the next book in this series.
The start to this story; it was interesting, mysterious, fun, steamy and hot. It showed as a glimpse of what’s to come and by the looks off it we’re in for a bumpy ride.

O-M-G, WT????, sputter,sputter…… Yes, I am flabbergasted at the ending of Dirty Rich Secrets Part 1. I knew going in that there would be a cliffie, had to be with 3 Parts. I need to know who that is!!! Even knowing that it was going to end in a cliffhanger it still didn’t prepare me for the ending! Part 2 will be here August 16th so thankfully it isn’t too long of a wait!
For those that have read Dirty Rich Cinderella you might remember Ashley. That is the only book out of this series that I haven’t read. But it made no difference I still was able to become fully engaged in Dirty Rich Secrets! I loved reading Dirty Rich Secrets. It is a pretty short book so an easy and very good read! Now bring on Part 2, I am READY to find out what happens next!
I think we have been waiting for Ashley’s story for a little while now, true to Lisa Renee Jones fashion it was heck of a page turner, had you gasping, pulling at your heart but also action packed!!
Can’t wait for the next installment!!
You just love those cliffhanger’s, don’t you? Now we have to wait. Humph! This is Part One of three. This is Ashley and Aaron’s story. And it grabs you right from the first page. Ashley always looking over her shoulder and has no one. But that was not always true. She had a great job, friends and Noah. But Noah was a lie and she was now in hiding. She is led to believe that Noah is a traitor. Not the man she fell so much in love with. She misses him so much and hates him too! Then Noah finds her! Noah tells her he was framed and he never lied about the way he felt about her. He loves her and would die for her. Where does Aaron fit into all this??? Well Noah is Aaron. Are you confused yet? Part one is action packed with that steamy romance that Lisa does so well in her books! You’ll find answers in this book but will be left with more questions at the end. I am looking forward to part two to get those additional questions answered. Definitely a must read!!
Dirty Rich Secrets: Part One is the first of three parts and it starts off with a bang! Ashley aka Sandy is in the witness protection program. She is hiding from her ex. Noah aka Aaron is CIA, an assassin and the man Ashley is hiding from.
I love that Noah/Aaron is a dangerous man, but despite being an assassin his love for Ashley is so strong and powerful. I love that everything he did was to help her, to protect her and to give her the tools to fight when the time came down to it.
This book is a fast paced, thrilling, steamy, suspense story. I was sucked into Ashley and Noah’s world, into their drama, and their secrets form the very beginning. Ashley and Noah have so much chemistry. I love that this story is a dual POV and we get glimpses of their past together, but also of what the future may hold.
Since this is a three part series it does end on a massive cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see where this story is going to go and what is in store for these characters.
Wow! What an amazing beginning to this new trilogy!
Ashley is living in the witness protection program when the very man she’s hiding from reappears in her life. He cannot be trusted and yet as he begins to open up and share with her about the secretive side of himself, she realizes she does trust him, and if things are as royally messed up as they seem, he’s the only one she can trust.
Noah/Aaron knew when he first laid eyes on Ashley that he wanted her. While his assignment forced him to find a target as a way in to where he had no access, his attraction to Ashley was very real. But he was living a lie and eventually it caught up to him. Now he needs to not only protect the woman he loves, he has to win her heart again.
For a novella, this has a lot of impact. With suspense and thrills at every corner, the heart of the story is the relationship between Ashley and Aaron. The chemistry between them is electric and even while Ashley is struggling to come to terms with his deception, it’s obvious her emotions are still seriously engaged with him.
This is a pretty fast read that ends in a huge cliffhanger, so it was difficult to get a good read on the characters. I can say that the hero is an all-in kind of guy. He’s going to do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
”I won’t just kill for you. I’d die for you.”
The heroine obviously has some concerns regarding what’s true and what’s not but she doesn’t make him work very hard before he’s made his way back into her heart. He believes in her and I loved that he saw in her what she couldn’t see herself.
”She’s brave. She’s strong. She’s capable of more than she realizes, but I see it. I have always seen that in her. I have always been drawn to that in her.”
I love where this story is headed and can’t wait to get there!
4 full of secrets stars!!
This is book eleven in the “Dirty Rich” series and part one of “Dirty Rich Secrets” trilogy. I have not read any prior books and from what I am told those do not need to be read first. I agree it read as a new beginning but I think I wouldn’t feel like I am missing that little bit of info if I did. This book originally was to be a full length novel but the author decided in order to tell her story the best way it need to be broke down.
I enjoyed this novella. It was a good read, but it definitely felt like a novella. Too fast, not enough time to feel. I just felt like the went from enemies to lovers super fast with the same problems. But for a novella this happens often. I am really excited to see where this goes after that cliffhanger.
I think “Noah” is a sexy beast. I’m excited for his story. I think Noah and Ashley are a great couple. I can’t wait to see how they unfold. This is a quick and easy read!! There are some great secrets still left untold…
** I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.**
DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 1 is the first instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult Dirty Rich Secrets erotic, romantic suspense, novella trilogy focusing on paralegal Ashley aka Sandy, and former CIA operative Noah aka Aaron. DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 1 can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Ashley and Noah) using present day and memories from the past, DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 1 reveals some of the backstory and history between paralegal Ashley aka Sandy, and former CIA operative Noah aka Aaron. Six months earlier Ashley discovered that the man with whom she had fallen in love was a traitor to the country. Currently in the witness protective program, Ashley would come face to face with the man she knew only as Noah, a man who reveals that Ashley’s life has once again been compromised. What ensues is the rekindling relationship between Ashley and Noah, as our couple find themselves on the run, one step ahead of the people trying to take them down.
The relationship between Ashley and Noah is one of second chances; a rekindling romance in which Ashley struggles with her attraction to a man she knows nothing about, a romance predicated on a lie using our heroine as a cover for an undercover op. The $ex scenes are intimate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 1 is an intriguing and quick read; a story of betrayal, secrets and lies; of revelations and explanations; of second chances and falling in love. Reading more like a serialized story line, DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 1 ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
Prepare yourself for another rollercoaster ride of excitement!
Noah lied to her. Only 3 weeks before their wedding, Ashley was confronted with the truth. Her life was in danger and the only way to survive was the safety of witness protection. Now, with a new identity and living in a new city, she cannot help but feel someone is watching her. Will she ever know peace? I don’t think so! Not for now, anyway. She is found and the running for her life begins again. She knows how to use a gun, but is she able to shoot someone if she needs to?
And whatever happened to Noah? Is his name Noah or Aaron? Is he one of the good guys or is he a killer like they told her?
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
I received this arc book in exchange for an honest review. This is Part 1 and the book has been written in to 3 parts..
We first met Ashley as Cole’s paralegal. She was put into Witness Protection because of her Fiancé Noah. It turns out Noah is a CIA Hitman and Ashley was his assignment. But Noah did the unthinkable, he fell in love with Ashley.
The story opens as “Sandy” is walking home from work but has feelings she is being watched. When she gets to her apartment she finds that her lock has been changed and she can’t get in. After retrieving a key from the manager, she texts her contact and tells them she has been found. Upon entering her apartment she finds Noah sitting in a chair in her bedroom.
Through the entire book we gets flashbacks of how she met Noah and how things she thought were strange back then are falling in to place.
Noah drugs her and takes her to a cabin. They talk and Noah now Aaron somewhat convinces Ashley he loves her and is going to keep her safe.
But they are found at the cabin and when Ashley wakes up, she is in a strange hotel suite with a strange man.
How did she get here? Who is this man? Where is Aaron? Will she be safe or die? Guess we will have to read the next part to get answers to some of the questions.
