Gabe Maxwell is a powerhouse in the boardroom, a man with a dark past he’s buried under success and power. He’s not a white picket fence and forever kind of guy and he’s definitely not into redheads. That is until one corners him, kisses him and thanks him for waking her up. Right before she walks away and leaves him. She’s gone and he’s obsessed.Then she walks into his office and back into his … into his life, and he has to have her. It doesn’t matter that she’s the kind of woman you marry. It doesn’t matter that she’s everything he avoids because she’s everything he wants.
Only Abbie isn’t the good girl she seems. She has secrets and a past and soon, she’ll pull Gabe into her bed, her life, and that spells more than obsession. It spells danger.
Book one in the Dirtier Duet.

I really enjoyed His Demand. Apparently, Gabe is brother’s with Reid who is featured in the Dirty Rich series. I did not read that series and this duet can be read as a standalone. Gabe is confident, rich, and wants Abigail in his bed. He has trust issues when it comes to relationships, but there is just something about Abigail. Abigail is a feisty redhead who is in danger and needs his help. The two have secrets and trust issues, but yet the chemistry between them is instantaneous. His Demand is full of intrigue, secrets, lies, and lots of steam. This book did take me a little longer to get into, but I was very entertained. The cliffhanger is big and left me wanting to dive right into the next book, His Submission.
Abbie and Gabe, such an off the charts amazing couple. Lisa Renee Jones knows how to write me a perfect hot book boyfriend on every book. I love Gabe so much. The characters are very well constructed, their story is one you would want to read. I couldn’t put it down, so damn good.
I loved this beginning with Gabe’s story. Now I’m intrigued and I’m anxiously waiting for the next book! What are Gabe’s and Abbie’s secrets? Why is Gabe’s & Reid’s father involved with Abbie’s ex? I received an advance copy of this book from the author and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Well hell, there’s more to Gabe Maxwell that we’d have guessed. The man who was thought to be a perpetual bachelor (and we’ve still to learn the story behind that issue!!) isn’t such a solitary creature and is quickly falling for an alluring redhead who has her own secrets (that we’ve still to unveil!)
His Demand was everything I was expecting and more – I am a sucker for Lisa Renee Jones’ storytelling and boy, can she weave a tale!!
I loved the connection and attraction between Gage and Abbie that sparked from the first time they ran into each other. They are smokin’ hot and sexy together but both are shrouded in secrets and shadows from their past, meaning they have more in common than they’d initially realised.
As with the Dirty Rich series this book was full of suspense, secrets and lies. I can’t wait to find out what we don’t know yet and find out just how that affects our leading couple and their burgeoning relationship.
Great supporting characters (I loved Abigail’s mom), an intriguing plot and well written, scorchin’ sex scenes made this a page-turning read that I only put down when it was really necessary!
I’m giving Gage & Abbie’s story 5 demanding stars!!! Cannot wait for Her Submission
Book 1 in the Dirtier Duet is off and running in to a year start!
I first heard of Gabe in the Dirty Series.
This is Gabe and Abbie’s story.
Fast paced, insta attraction insta a lot of things which come to a halt as both has secrets and personal issues.
Ends in a major cliffhanger!
3.5 stars!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is a story of Abigail who needs gabe not just for his help, but for him. Now with the fight to save the non profit animal shelter . Awesome story and I was shocked with the ending.
I really enjoyed this book. I love when characters change and evolve and that certainly happens to Gabe. At the start he is 100% sure of who he is and what he wants…Until Abby enters his life. I just loved Gabe. He was smart, charming and hot. Abby I liked but I did wish she didn’t always have “one foot out the door” mentality. The chemistry and attraction between these two was steamy and strong. The story line itself offered plenty of drama, secrets and suspense to keep you glued to the pages. This is only book one, so prepare for a cliffhanger (and I won’t lie; it’s a biggie!). I can’t wait to read the next book!
Both Gabe & Abbie have secrets, both saying it would destroy the other if they knew, so the story revolves around this being brought up continually. Sometimes to the point it distracted me from the story. I knew it wouldn’t be anywhere near resolved as it is a duet & it ends on a cliffhanger. Her ex is heap of s*+#, his associates none the better and in a way all there paths are entwined. So seriously I felt it going around in circles for awhile. Definitely angsty & hot!
Another thing Gabe is a blonde whereas the cover depicts a darker haired character. I’m not nit picking but in a way you see the cover & imagine the characters. He is very strong & dominant but Abbie was a bit washy washy at times. Maybe due to her past.
I hope it’s all resolved in the next book & it all comes together.
I do like suspense, intrigue, angst to some extent & some hotness & this delivered it all in spades but it was a bit drawn out at times. If you’re a fan it won’t disappoint.

Wish washy main characters.
In His Demand we are finally are gonna get Gabe’s story. He is the normal love them and leave them type of guy up until he meets Abigail and she totally changes his view on living life in the fast lane. Sparks fly immediately when Abigail kisses Gabe and immediately you feel the spark and passion between these to. The story is full of total suspense and you wonder if you will ever figure out how two people can be so broken.
This book ! In this book we get a chance to see a character we were introduce to before. This is the first book in a duet. It pulls you in almost immediately. I stated up later than I should to finish this book.
We are able to get some insight on the sexy “Ken doll” Gabe and a strong yet frightened redhead named Abigail, Abbie for short. Together they have to overcome some heavy stuff and evil people and it a ride you definitely want to take.
ARC received for an honest review

If you have read the Dirty books you have met Gabe already, however this duet could be read as a stand alone.
I have been intrigued by Gabe (Reid and Cat’s brother) all through this Dirty Rich series, and I have been looking forward to his story.
Unfortunately, for me, anyway, His Demand fell a bit short for me. It felt like we went from first meetings to practically moving in with each other in 4.2 seconds.
Abbie annoyed me. She was so hot and cold with Gabe. All hot and bothered by him one second, running away from him the next. It was like they were in a rinse, lather and repeat cycle. I just wanted to yell at her to make up her darn mind. And if she didn’t want Gabe, I would take him off her hands!
Gabe also felt like he has lost some of his hard-ass-ness, boooo. I want the take-no-crap gabe back.
But this could all just be me.
We are left on a bit of a cliffy with this one, however it is a LRJ duet, so that was expected when I started reading.
I look forward to seeing where Gabe and Abbie’s story goes.
