One man can change everything. That man can touch you until you tremble all over. That man can wake you up and allow you to breathe when life leaves you unable to catch your breath. For me that ONE MAN is Jax North. He’s handsome, brutally so, and wealthy, money and power easily at his fingertips. He’s dark, and yet, he can make me smile with a single look or word. He’s a force when he walks into … into a room.
Our first encounter is intense, overwhelmingly intense. I go with it. I go with him and how can I not? He’s that ONE MAN for me and what a ride it is. But there are things about me that he doesn’t know, he can’t know, so I say goodbye. Only you don’t say goodbye to a man like Jax if he doesn’t want you to. I’ve challenged him without trying. He wants me. I don’t want to want him, and yet, I crave him. He tears me down, my resistance, my walls. But those walls protect me. They seal my secrets inside. And I forget that being alone is safe. I forget that there are reasons I can’t be with Jax North. I forget that once he knows, everything will change.
Because I need him.
Because he’s my ONE MAN.
One Man is the first book in the dangerously sexy Naked Trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones.

Holy Crap! Warning! Warning! Huge Cliffy, sorry if that is a spoiler for some but it is a trilogy so it shouldn’t be that big of a surprise 🙂 But boy oh boy what a start to what I feel is going to be a wild ride! I would give this book a 4 stars and highly recommend to others.
Jax and Emma don’t have a history but there families do… and both have many secrets they keep… but a strong current of emotions runs through them when they come face to face, can they deny what they are craving for each other? Or will there secrets and enemies become there downfall??
Get to one clicking to see what happens, I can’t wait for the next One Woman to see how many more secrets get revealed!
Jax North is a powerful man, a smart man, a cunning man, and a man set out to avenge his brother’s death. Emma Knight is beautiful, smart, and loyal and reeling at uncovering truths in her father’s journal after his death. When she meets Jax unexpectantly in one of her family’s hotels, she immediately feels sparks. Jax doesn’t want to admit to himself the attraction he feels for Emma because he came for one thing and that was to destroy the Knight family. Fate has other plans for these two and their destinies collide. The chemistry is incredibly hot with these two. Jax asserts his control but then quickly concedes to include Emma in the decision making. This not only empowers Emma but builds the trust. Secrets start to unravel and the web of deceit means no one is immune. Jax & Emma work with Walker Security to find more answers and head to Jax’s castle when the mother lode of all cliff hangers happens. I’m so excited for the second book in this trilogy and getting more answers!!!!
One Man has mystery, suspense, drama, conflict, heat, tension, and secrets. Emma is the smart, determined, and loyal daughter of the Knight hotel chain. Her life and family were never entirely what they seemed, only she’s now beginning to seek those secrets. Jax is the sexy, charismatic, and powerful head of North Whiskey. He is dedicated to the family business, but he’s also a man on a mission. Their families are tangled together in business and it’s not all that it seems, so getting involved could be a terrible idea. Jax offers her the escape she needs and they are drawn to each other despite it all. They grow closer but both are keeping secrets that need to be revealed. There is quite the cliffhanger ending which leaves you needing to know what happens next.
There is something about the writing style of Jones that seriously calls to me. I’m not one to sit and analyze what it is, however I know that I am addicted to reading her stories.
They are always unique even if the theme runs along side her many other books. Characters from other stories pop in and help tie series together. Focus on the romantic suspense genre means that you will have an exciting read.
This new release is a bit different. It focuses on one man who is focusing on one woman. It’s hot and the sparks fly from the beginning. The connection is immediate and while it is a questionable connection in terms of business, trust is a delicate balance.
With plenty of hot and heavy scenes and a fast pace, this book is a glimpse into the backhanded deals gone wrong, ex fiance’s who think they still have control, and the hunt to find the truth, no matter who gets hurt.
But we have to wait for books 2 and 3 to get it all! The cliffhanger is in effect on this one! NOOOOOOOO
One Man by Lisa Renee Jones is definitely about a hunk of a man and it was a pleasure getting to know him! Cannot wait for more of Jax!
One Man by Lisa Renee Jones is the first book in her brand new Naked trilogy . Told in dual POV between Emma and Jax, this story is sexy, dangerous and has a heck of a cliffhanger ending. I have long been a fan of this author, ever since I first read If I Were You back in 2013. Her books are always sexy, always have an underlying mystery and always ALWAYS completely suck me into the story.
Emma keeps herself separate and doesn’t make herself available. Sex? Sure! Feelings? No way! But when her determination to move on from Jax does nothing more than increase his interest she feels her walls crumbling right along with her resolve.
Jax has one mission – find out what happened with his brother. He will do that whatever the cost. But with Emma in the picture and the two of them getting closer he may not be able to do whatever it takes. The cost, finally, may be too high.
Loved this – prepare for the cliffhanger but fear not, book two, One Woman, should be out in September 2019 and book three,Two Together, soon after in November 2019. Enjoy!
Lisa has a great talent to write Romance series, trilogies and duets. The woman characters are strong, the guys are sexy as hell and the story takes you on a journey. Most of her stories intertwined but you can read them stand alone.
This is Jax and Emma story. Their families hate each other, they have a lot of money and Greed is alway interrupting great sex.
I think it’s a MUST READ and I can’t wait for the next book to continue the story.
The mystery, the secrecy is what kept me captivated from the time I read the sneak peek to finishing the book. And the amazing part, it’s only book 1. Which makes it harder, because now we have to wait for book 2 and 3. Jax and Emma have chemistry right from the start, but neither knows if they can trust the other. They are surrounded by people who they thought they could trust but now loyalties are being challenged. Can’t wait to read the next book and see what happens next. Definitely a must read!!!
GAH! Cliffhanger of a whopper that left me gasping and cursing and…yea, let’s not go there…This book, though, it so good I would have read it in one sitting if life didn’t demand I partake in it and sleep and work and take care of my husband but I’m not going to tell you anything about this one because anything I put here is more than should be said in a review other than GAH! Bring me the next book already!!!!!! This author really knows how to make my heart pound and keep me coming back for more! Love it! Demand it! Grab this one now!
When it comes to a new Lisa Renee Jones book I don’t have to see the cover or read the blurb. I buy the book because I know from her past offerings that I will have the extraordinary reading experience. She spins a tale of intrigue, mystery, deceit and romance like few others.
There is an air of desparation swirling around both Jax and Emma. They are both reeling from loss and the need to find answers resulting from that loss drives them. Jax is the man who really sees Emma. Although she is reluctant to let down her guard anf trust him, Emma knows Jax is one man who will protect her as truths are revealed and questions are answered. Jax and Emma are, for lack of a better word, explosive together and the maelstrom they find themselves in could be as well.
First things first: Yes, this series starter does end in a cliffhanger and the sequel is slated for a September release. If you’re familiar with Lisa Renee Jones’s writing, particularly when it comes to series that feature just one couple, then finding a cliffhanger at the end of the first book shouldn’t be all that surprising. Something else that shouldn’t be surprising are all the twists you’ll find here. I swear, Jones knows how to keep her readers on their proverbial toes. Just when you think you have an idea of what’s going on, something is revealed and you find yourself sitting with your e-reader in your hands wondering how you could’ve missed it. I loved how Jax and Emma seemed to have this invisible thread that was constantly drawing them together, and while Jax had his reasons for wanting Emma in the beginning, there was no denying how palpable the chemistry between them was from the get-go. Now, like I mentioned earlier, there’s a cliffhanger ending and we’ve got about three months to wait for book two. As anxious as I may be to get answers, I’m confident Jones will make the wait worthwhile. Five stars for One Man.
Wow!!
The beginning and the ending alone are well worth starting this book!
The Naked Trilogy is off to an awesome start!
Fast paced, suspenseful and devilishly dirty, this is one juicy read!!
Twisted and oh so sexy, Jax and Emma’s story embarks on a journey where nothing is what it appears!
A cliffhanger I never saw coming please give me book 2 stat!
Lisa Renee Jones takes readers back into her world of the rich and dangerous with One Man, the first in the Naked Trilogy. Emma Knight, along with her brother Chance is the heir of the Knight Hotel empire. Only Emma was never the favored child and her father left her inheritance under the control of his right-hand man Randall Montgomery. Jax North is the owner of North Whiskey and he and his family have been in business with the Knights for years, but things are not what they seem and after Jax’s older brother dies, Jax sets out to find out what the Knights had to do with it. Jax has a plan only he isn’t prepared for the effect Emma has on him and his he needs to get done.
One Man is intrigue and seduction at it’s finest. From the very first page, Jones reels you into her sphere of the wealthy where dirty deals, backstabbing, and machinations are the order of business. Emma Knight is initially in the dark about her father’s shady schemes but she is no wilting flower. She is smart enough to see that she is not only knee deep in trouble not of her own making but that she needs help to find the truth of what is really happening. Jax North is pure alpha male looking for the truth behind the death of his brother. He is determined and willing to do what it takes, no matter the stakes.
At 41 chapters this is a full-sized read but the taut pace will have you flying through the pages. This first in the trilogy is the set up for what is to come mapping out the players such as the slimy York, the mistress Marion and the possibly in on it brother Chase. Cameos from Rick Savage and Blake Walker are welcome and, of course, there is no skimping on the scorching between the sheets scenes.
Ending on a hell of a cliff, One Man brings all the goods in the usual Lisa Renee Jones style. Book 2 One Woman will be out in Sep 2019.
One Man by Lisa Renee Jones is book 1 in the Naked trilogy. This starts Emma Knight and Jax North’s story with a bang !
We get alittle background as to who the players are in this new trilogy and what could be going on. There’s definitely angst, romance, drama, heartbreak, anger, fear, pain, heat, passion, hidden truths, secrets, intrigue, suspense and tons of steamy scenes. Book 1 ends on a huge cliffhanger and I am dying for book 2 to find out what happens. Emma and Jax have this chemistry together. I can’t wait to find out if they get their HEA. There are 2 more books in this exciting new trilogy and it is an emotionally satisfying book that takes the readers on a journey towards a sexy, exciting and beautiful ending.
My Rating: 4.8 stars ********
One Man (Naked Trilogy #1) is a book filled with questions that were made to keep you guessing. This had me turning pages only to arrive at the end with one amazing cliff hanger. Jax and Emma are wildly attracted to each other with amazing chemistry. But, Jax and Emma both have secrets that reveal themselves slowly as the story unfolds. Jax is filled with rage and the need for revenge, enter Emma. While, Emma finds a small piece of comfort in the one person she cannot trust. Take the rage, need for revenge, instant chemistry, mix it with suspense and drama and steamy scenes between Jax and Emma and you will have your new favorite read. Lisa Renee Jones had done a superb job with her new trilogy. Now, I will wait patiently until One Woman (Naked Trilogy Part 2) is released.
What a way to start this new trilogy! The action starts right away and stays with you all through the book. The story is full of suspense, drama, dubious characters and most of all – secrets. I was hooked from page one and before I knew it, the book was over. You will fall in love with Jax and Emma and push for them throughout the story. There is a cliffhanger and it’s a doozy.

This author keeps me on my toes and I love every second of it!
4.5* You can feel the chemistry right from the very beginning between these two! He wants answers that he thinks she has the answers to. Is he right or is he wrong? Is he everything that she thinks he is or is there more to him than she knows. She thinks she knows what he wants but is she wrong? It seems like everyone is trying to keep them a part but it’s not working.
Twists and turns, questioning everything that everyone said, I was totally drawn in and couldn’t put it down. Then the ending, I knew it would be a cliffhanger but goodness gracious…now THAT is a cliffhanger!!! Cannot wait for the next one!!!
Jax and Emma, there is a lot of mystery here, I so need the next book, but this book took me on all the twists and turns I didn’t see coming. There is a big need to uncover everything. That cliffhanger is killing me in a good way. Besides this story is steamy, sexy and will keep you on edge the whole time. The secrets for both characters are so intriguing, keeping them from each other is making this story so good. A brilliant five stars!
I will take this one man! 5 stars
I was intrigued at the beginning, and then as the story went on I was captivated. Emma & Jax have instant chemistry, but they have secrets between them & their families that they need to unravel. I loved that together, both Emma & Jax unravel each other. I was also pulled in emotionally with this story. This is Lisa Renee Jones at her best of intense & sexy storytelling, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book after that cliffhanger! I received a copy of this ebook from the author for my honest review.

Suspense from begging to end. Lisa sucks you in with the cat and mouse game of what Jax needs with Emma and the Knight family.

Then there is the heat, I love how she describes it so vividly. You feel the electricity every time they look at each other. Their connection jumping off the page and into your imagination playing out each sensual caress and passionate kiss, fueling the movie in your head.
Danger surrounds them and everyone has an angle they have to figure out in order to find a way through the lies. Corporate rivals, dangerous ex-lover and family members with hidden agendas are what wait for you in this the first of three books.
