This is Part 2 of 3 parts for Dirty Rich Secrets. We discover that Aaron is the mystery man in the shower where we left off in Part One.
This whole book is about the struggles Ashley and Aaron encounters trusting one another. Ashley finally convinces Aaron to contact Smith with Walker Security. Aaron does not like Smith because she thinks Ashley either slept with Smith or at least wanted to. Smith does not trust Aaron he thinks Aaron is going to either get Ashley killed or hurt her by leaving in the end. There is an absolute hate/trust issue between the two.
We find out who is trying to not only kill Ashley and Aaron but the reasons behind his motivation. After Aaron tells Ashley who Mick Ross is and why he is after him, Aaron leaves to kill him. He leaves Smith to protect her and joins forces with Blake and Savage. But while they are talking at the coffee shop, they see someone stalking around the outside of the house. They take off to protect Ashley.
While Ashley and Smith are talking, Ashley rememberers something that has her on edge. As the story closes, men are coming in to the house through windows and then an explosion…..what happens next? We will all have to wait patiently for Part 3 to come out so we can get all the answers we need and see if Ashley and Aaron get their happily ever ending..

Things just got a whole lot crazier!
As Ashley and Noah/Aaron try to work out their issues with each other, they also have to figure out who to trust from the outside. Enter Walker Securities. But Aaron is still battling trusting one of the men and his previous connection to Ashley. While he needs her trust, he also finds it difficult to trust her with his darkest secret yet.
This powers up right where part one left off and takes off at a rapid speed. As this couple try to find a safe place and a plan to learn who betrayed Aaron and who is also out for Ashley, they find themselves off and on within their relationship. Their emotions are in overdrive and with danger lurking around every corner the tension is high, the trust fragile, but their desire for each other still just as strong as it was before Noah’s betrayal.
This was a fast read with lots of second guessing, plenty of angst, and chemistry between Ashley and Aaron/Noah that can’t be denied. I loved every moment and found myself looking around corners just as this couple did. With so much suspense, and a huge cliffhanger…again…I’m anxious to get to the final installment.

Dirty Rich Secrets: Part Two starts out where Part One leaves off, thankfully because Part One left off with a cliffhanger and guess what Part Two ends on another one. Fortunately, Part Three will be out soon! No waiting forever for the next one. If you are interested in reading this book and series make sure to start with Part One because each book is closely related to the next one.
In Part Two we find out who was in the shower. Ashley and Aaron are on a run for their lives. To live & be free and safe.
If you love passion, angst, danger and action. You will get it all in this book.
Ashley fights for Aaron regarding his character. Aaron isn’t a bad guy. He does think of himself as a killer but that is how the CIA used him, as a killer.
I am very ready to get the rest of this story. The conclusion will be with the next book.

3.5 stars-DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part two is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary adult DIRTY RICH Secrets erotic, romantic suspense serial focusing on paralegal Ashley, and former CIA operative Aaron aka Noah. DIRTY RICH SECRETS PART 2 should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of Part 1.
–> WARNING: This was a bit of a struggle for me…I am in the minority…but I am entitled to my own opinion..and I am honest if nothing else.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Ashley and Aaron) DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 2 focuses on Aaron’s jealousy of the previous attention paid to our story line heroine by a member of the Walker Security Team. Throughout the instalment Aaron is unable to let go of the idea that Ashley may have wanted another man, a man who has also sworn to serve and protect. From angry $ex to accusations of lust and need, Part 2 barely skims the surface of the threats against our story line couple, threats brought about by sins of the past.
DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 2 focuses on issues of trust; of jealousy, possessiveness, and suspicion. There is an inordinate amount of redundancy as Aaron aka Noah is constantly accusing the woman he loves of lusting after another man, or of having sex with said man while Aaron was on the run. Apparently I am in the minority with my thoughts and take on Part two. Sadly, I struggled to accept Aaron as anything more than a possessive and controlling character whose behavior screams all kinds of wrong, thusly overriding the little bit of information imparted regarding the threats against our story line couple. In this I had a difficult time liking the man we have come to know as Aaron, and therefore struggled to like this particular instalment.
Saying that, this is an issue with novels that have been divided into serialized chapters or parts of books. Oft times, a number of the instalments divulge little to no pertinent information. Reviewing a serialized novel is difficult because to comment on the world or characters building requires a complete novel wherein background, history, personality and premise have evolved or changed throughout the course of the book or series. DIRTY RICH SECRETS Part 2 primarily focused on Aaron’s issues of trust, insecurity and accusations against the woman he claimed to love.

Intense, Edgy, & Hot! This picks up right where part one of this series left off. Fast paced, filled with intrigue, and sizzling passion. Unputdownable and unforgettable.
The writing had me reading this book in one sitting. It took my breath away, left my heart-reeling and my leg-bouncing-in-anticipation with the twists and turns it delivers. Although we get some of our questions answered it leads to more questions and concerns for our couple. Will Aaron and Ashley survive? Will Walker Security be able to keep them safe? Get ready for a heart pounding great time as another cliffhanger keeps the answers from us until we can get our hands on part three of this series.
I received a early copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

DIRTY RICH SECRETS, part two is the fourteenth release in the Dirty Rich series. Though this trilogy will stand on its own within the series, I highly recommend all of the books in the series. The books within the trilogy must be read in the order of release, as they are really one book chopped into three parts.
Absolutely do not pick up this book unless you have read Part 1. Nothing will make sense if you do not listen to that bit of advice.
Noah/Aaron is even more alpha/possessive/jealous when they escape to NYC and enlist the aid of the Walker Security Agency. Of course, Ashley is still keeping him on his toes and meeting him head-to-head in intelligence, passion, and commitment.
Their chemistry is off-the-charts and unapologetic. I love the unabashed assurances between them. They each know they have found their “the one” and are determined to convince, but equally hesitant to believe they have convinced.
This story continues to be fast-paced, heart-stopping, emotion-gripping, nail-biting, and jam-packed with emotion, suspense, romance, and a touch of humor … then an inevitable cliffhanger!
Another countdown begins…. Part three releases September 24th.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Part Two continues Aaron/Noah and Ashley’s passionate and suspenseful story.
This part picks up right after the last one ended with finding out who the man is in the shower, and we find out more about Noah (Aaron) and what makes him a killer.
Their love for each other never wavers as they face the many challenges ahead of them. Your head will spin and make you wonder what is going to happen next! And I love re-visiting with the Walkers! They are always a pleasant welcome
This instalment was even more intense than the first. Exciting writing, a real page turner, but it will also leaves you with the cliffhanger!
Now the wait for the conclusion!

Aaron/Noah has just going to have to cool it with his jealous streak!! Ashley is trying to enlist Smith and Blake from Walker Security to help them but her history with Smith is getting in the way. Aaron just cannot trust Smith around her knowing that Smith has a thing for her.
Blake has answers to some of the questions they have. The facts all seem to lead them to possibly one man who is a dangerous snake. Aaron knows he triggered all of this but is willing to die in order to protect Ashley.
The story continues to progress, but in my opinion, there is just too much banter between Aaron and Ashley and the jealousy. I kept getting impatient with them both trying to move on with the plot instead of listening to the jealous banter. Move on already! Between the panic of the situation they are in and the risk they are taking being out and about, I was ready to kill them myself! I know, I get very passionate with the characters!
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.

Book two and it’s still filled with secrets that I can’t wait to uncover. We’re given the name of the bad guy but I’m not sure why but nothing is as clear as it seems when one is reading Lisa Renee Jones books.
I can’t wait to see the conclusion to this story since we’re left with still to many questions that need answers and I want them to find HEA so bad I can taste it.

Ahhhhhh!!! Jones is killing me! She has me on the edge of my seat and I am absolutely loving this series. As we learn more about Noah’s past, tensions rise. Secrets are revealed and the danger amplifies in this installment; I could feel it simmering under the surface, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Old friends join the story and the excitement continues to build. With the enemy closing in, I’m panicking. I need to know what is next!

And she does it again!!! In my opinion no write is at good at suspense and mystery as Lisa Renee Jones. We got some questions answered in this book along with a whole slew of new ones and that is a okay with me. In addition to the mystery there is lots of hot alpha males including my favourite secondary character ever Savage. I look forward to seeing how this all plays out in the 3rd and final book

“Take me. F*ck me. Own me. Love me.”
DIRTY RICH SECRETS: PART TWO by Lisa Renee Jones, picks up right where part one left off with Ashley still in imminent danger and Noah/Aaron, the “traitorous” ex-fiancé who “betrayed” her, determined to do anything to protect her!
With everything to lose—especially each other—they go on the run in NYC and as they dodge peril at every turn, passionate explodes between them. Their soul deep love and high wattage chemistry is as potent as ever and I found myself even deeper invested this time around, but fixing what was broken and regaining one another’s trust after all that transpired between them is an uphill battle indeed! However, this dynamic duo are SURVIVORS and are not about to give up on each other…provided they stay alive long enough to fully reconcile!
Swoooon! Ex-CIA hottie Aaron (or is it Noah…?) was even more LETHALLY SEXY and UNAPOLOGETICALLY ALPHA in this installment—yummers—and hella intense too! I relished how fiercely devoted he was to Ashley even when his possessiveness and irrational jealousy over her friendship with Smith was taken to the EXTREME at times. But he loved this woman with every breath he took and would kill for her without blinking an eye so in the end he was Numero Uno in my book!
As for Ashley, she sure kept her secret agent man on his toes—which is all part of her charm—and I loved this feisty, smart and headstrong heroine as much as ever. Perhaps even more so! And even when she was facing off with Aaron her love for him always shone through. I especially adored how she defended her man to the naysayers with a vengeance and, just like Aaron, would lay down her life to protect him!
In regard to the ongoing mystery, we get more answers to our burning questions in this book—with a doozy of a bombshell that left me REELING–but there are still missing puzzle pieces that keep us guessing as the MCs work tirelessly to defeat their enemies! With a little help from Blake Walker and his entourage of course!
BOTTOM LINE:
Just like with part one, this fast paced second installment is jam packed with sizzling sensuality, nail biting action sequences, pulse pounding suspense, riveting emotion and palpable discord! Oh yeah…and another EXPLOSIVE cliffy too! Cannot wait for the heart-gripping conclusion to DIRTY RICH SECRETS in late September!
Highly recommend!

My, My, My…..this book just stepped up this series to another level. After reading part one and having it end where it did, in the way it did, well to say I wanted to throw my phone is an understatement. I am truly in love with these characters and am rooting for them all the way. I am so engrossed in this story from page one right up to the very end. And speaking of that end…..ARRRRGHHHH…..I just can not wait for book three so all my questions will be answered. The ending of this one, the cliffhanger on this one will absolutely make you want to throw lots of things not just your reading device. I am very impatiently waiting to find out the conclusion of Aaron/Noah and Ashley. Oh and the presence of the Walker crew made me so, so happy. As always, I highly recommend this one, actually all of this author’s books are ones I recommend. MUST READ BOOK 1 BEFORE THIS ONE!!!

This is a fast-paced novella that is sure to keep you on your toes. Both Ashley and Aaron remain very likable characters and the sparks flying between them nearly melted my kindle. The two deeply love each other, but there are trust issues at play. There is a fair amount of action and if you’ve read this author’s Walker Security series, then you will be pleased that they make an appearance. While this book moved at a good pace, I felt like there were a few too many scenes where there was jealous banter. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this romantic suspense.

This is part two in Ashley and Aaron’s story. Definitely need to read part one first since part two picks right up from where part one ended. I am actually enjoying how the book is being broken down into three parts. So far both parts leave us hanging and wanting more. I finished part two within a day, I couldn’t put the book down. I needed to know what was going to happen. Ashley and Aaron continue to be on the run. And they enlist the help of no other than, Walker Security. I love the Walker crew. The end of part two definitely leaves more questions. Definitely cannot wait to read part three. I must know what the ending will be. Go pick up part two and enjoy the ride.

Ashley was Cole’s assistant in another series and went into Witness Protection. In Part I we meet Aaron from the CIA and love of her life. Noah being his true name, but can’t be used it, Ashley finds more about Aaron and Noah….. it left a clip hanger.
Part 2 answers the cliffhanger and we learn more about Noah/Aaron and being in the CIA. Ashley was being protected by Smith from Walker Security’s and they talked to got to know each other with some sparks, so when she needs help she calls Smith…. Noah is in protection mode.

Ashley was Cole’s assistant in another series and went into Witness Protection. In Part I we meet Aaron from the CIA and love of her life. Noah being his true name, but can’t be used it, Ashley finds more about Aaron and Noah….. it left a clip hanger.
Part 2 answers the cliffhanger and we learn more about Noah/Aaron and being in the CIA. Ashley was being protected by Smith from Walker Security’s and they talked to got to know each other with some sparks, so when she needs help she calls Smith…. Noah is in protection mode. What’s next? Awaiting Part 3
