STAND ALONE: Vegas. A bet. A sexy, alpha millionaire. Blackmail. Danger and scorching passion.
Desperate to pay for law school, Skye tries her hand at auction hunting with her friend Ella, only to find a poker chip and a note leading to an offsite locker. The next thing she knows, Jason “Red Bull” Wise–a famous, millionaire poker player–is at her door, accusing her of blackmail. Innocent, she … she swears he’s wrong. He rolls the dice and believes her, impulsively inviting her along to Las Vegas. And remarkably, cautious Skye takes a risk, finding herself seduced by this dangerously alluring man, on his private jet, and finally living life to the fullest. But there is more than passion waiting for Skye and Jason in Vegas when blackmail takes a deadly turn.

Skye has a past that she prefers stay in a dark hidden place. She works hard to try and put herself through school. A new friend convinces her to try her own Storage Wars and it causes the biggest variance from all her plans.
Mystery, intrigue, and crazy hot chemistry are the foundations for Behind Closed Doors. It strings you along questioning what you know and what you’re missing. If you pay attention, you will figure it out before Jason and Skye do.
I’m intrigued. I read Behind Closed Doors as a standalone. I am aware it ties into other works by Ms. Jones. I now have a need to see just how. Who is Ella? Will we see more Buddha? All questions, I’ll need to find my own answers to.
This is only the 3rd book I have read by Lisa Renee Jones and I really enjoyed it. While it had some of the mystery and “who done it” of her other books, it wasn’t as dark and full of twists and turns as the prior books I have read. I have to say I like both sides of Lisa’s writing. Skye and Jason’s story was fun, with some mystery and even brought some insight into Ella from the Careless Whisper’s series.
Jason and Skye are thrust together when Jason learns that someone is out to get him and is willing to blackmail him to get what they want… and something leads him to believe that it is Skye. Showing up on her doorstep and accusing her of being his blackmailer probably wasn’t his best idea, but after spending a few heated moments with her and using his keen people reading skills he soon decides she is not the person out to get him. Once he realizes she is not the enemy he knows he needs to walk away, but the magnetic happening between them has him wanting to hold on a little longer…
The minute Skye opens her door to a very intimidating, but oh so sexy, millionaire poker player she wants to slam the door in his face… he’s making accusations and is certain she is involved with the blackmail scheme being waged against him. But after some convincing, and a heated exchange he soon decides to believe her and invites her to tag along to Vegas. She reluctantly accepts his offer, and soon finds her quiet life filled with danger, unexpected romance, and wondering what the hell she has gotten herself into!
Once again Ms. Jones has created a literary gem that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats and gasping for air!! From the moment I started this seductive little tale I was hooked, and knew there was no way I was walking away until I devoured every last page, and boy was it GOOD!!! No one does romance quite like Ms. Jones, she creates these breathtaking stories that invade your thoughts, take complete control of your emotions, and leave you in a state of incomparable literary bliss! Highly recommend you give this one a try, you will not be disappointed!!!
