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.

One Man is the first book in an all new trilogy and complete sucks you from there very beginning.
Jax North is a man out for revenge. After the unexpected death of his brother, Hunter, he is on a mission to find answers and bring down the Knight family. There is just one little problem and her name is Emma Knight. After the death of her father, Emma discovers a journal and learns some of her fathers deep, dark, and dirty secrets.
Their attraction is instant, they are both drawn to each other, but they don’t know if they can truly trust one another. Especially Emma, she struggles so much throughout the story when it comes to trusting Jax because of his revenge mission against her family. Despite that, their chemistry is seriously EXPLOSIVE. I loved seeing their relationship progress and Jax and Emma start to work more with each other, helping each other uncover more secrets.
This story is full of so many secrets, mysteries and possible villains. At this point you truly don’t know who you can trust and who you can believe. The web that is being weaved is intricate and full of so many questions. I can’t wait to see where their story goes and to dive deeper into this world and the secrets these characters have.
I love how Lisa incorporates past characters from previous stories. I love getting a little glimpse of them again, especially when it comes to my favorite security man, Savage.
This story is completely addicting and I can’t wait to see what is in store for Jax and Emma.
4 “I can’t wait for the next book” stars!!
This is book one of the “Naked Trilogy” and boy does it end in a cliffy. Like I am dying, my need for this next book is off the charts. This can not be read as a stand alone.
This is Jax and Emma’s story…. He is there to seek revenge and get answers. She lost someone she just realized she barely knew and now a whole different scary world is opening up. In the midst of all this a new sexy and scary man makes his way to her and he won’t leave….
First I want to say I was super excited that I saw tons of names and people from previous books from this author. I love when authors do this. And Savage!! Yes we love us some Savage!!
Jax is super hot and perfect alpha hottie. Emma is actually a cool chick. Even with being rich she is totally down to earth and my heart hurts for her. I pray I don’t find something otherwise about her because I am definitely rooting for these two!! The chemistry is insane!!
I always love this author. She makes me enter their lives and live each of these moments with them. This is a book you want to get your hands on.
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
I’m so in love with Jax. He gets you from the start. One Man is a fantastic start to the Naked Trilogy. You will love Jax. He maybe looking for answers for his brother’s death and have a huge haterid when it comes with the Knight family but when it comes to Emma you dont feel it at all. I love how protective Jax is of Emma. You feel the draw pulling them together from the very first meet. I love the chemistry and the sizzle. But you know there are secrets being held between both. Emma is struggling with the family secrets and other secrets from her past. You feel her strength throughout this read as she slowly starts to comfront things. I love Savage in this one too. I can’t wait for more to come in this series. I need the next book like now to see what happens to Emma and Jax. I couldn’t put this one down at all. I love what Lisa Renee Jones is bringing to this trilolgy.
Emma and Jax are both burdened with secrets and family nightmares. He comes looking for her in search of answers about his brother’s death. She is just trying to find her way after the death of her father and the unfairness of the results of his will.
After finding her father’s journal, some of the secrets are exposed. The man she had looked up to all her life is not what she thought he was. He was full of deceit and evil, hurting those who loved him. It is up to her to find out what her father was up to.
The attraction between Emma and Jax is such, they both end up trusting each other and pursuing a relationship. Little did they know their attraction will not be enough to stop others from plotting and placing their lives in danger.
This series is amazingly fast paced and intriguing. I can hardly wait to read the next installment.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
Oh Ms. Jones! She is the queen of the tease, the goddess of the long, long game!
This is the first book in what is going to be a phenomenal trilogy.
This is the story of Emma Knight and Jax North. Their families work together, but with deaths and secrets, they could actually be enemies.
Their attraction and chemistry is out of this world and they are both struggling to trust each other with family secrets that could destroy them both and destroy the start of their fragile relationship. Who can Emma and Jax trust? Who are their enemies? Who wants to keep them apart despite everything? These are just a few of the questions I have!
Ms. Jones creates a world of riches and opulence. She creates a world of betrayals and words left unsaid. She keeps the reader guessing and second guessing themselves as the story moves on.
And oh my stars! What an ending, what a cliffhanger! I am going to be waiting on tenterhooks for the next book in this trilogy! When you read this you will too!
The cliff hanger is killing me!! I want to know more!!
Cliffhanger.
This ends on a cliff hanger since it is just part one of a series. Not sure I will spend the money for the others……
The only thing I didn’t like was it was not a complete story have to read the next book to find out what happens next. It ended when things were getting good.
enjoyed it
The storyline was okay. The constant emotional angst of the female lead got old. However, the end of the book was not even a little worth reading. It wasn’t a cliffhanger. It was an abrupt cut off. I like series that leads from book to book. However, “the end for now ” isn’t cool.
I couldn’t put it down!
I struggled to get going in this book. Won’t continue the series.
Goodness, what an intense, suspenseful, and thrilling journey to go on. And wow… the ending; I’m left speechless.
A great first book of the trilogy. The story kept me guessing about what and who is/are behind the secrets that Emma was hiding or afraid to reveal and how will the revelations affect Jaxs and their budding relationship. I’m ready for book 2. Glad that I read this book when all the books in the series are available.
So many things wrong with this one.
At 88% it just stops. Not even what I would call a cliffhanger. Just stops, kind of mid paragraph.
I have enjoyed several of Jones’ book but this was not one of them. It was written like a rough draft. Without rewrites or edits.
I’m not even invested in the characters to purchase the rest of the book also known as books 2&3.
4 star review One Man (Naked Trilogy #1) by Lisa Renee Jones
I found this book to be well written and had me engaged from the first to the last chapter. This was a romantic suspense story with more emphasis on the romance that the suspense in my opinion. There is a cliff hanger so my review is brief as I do not want to spoil the storyline.
There were plenty of secrets and hopefully all will be revealed in due course. Emma Knight and Jax North, the chemistry between them is hot and intense and yet neither of them want the attraction that sizzles between them. Emma is a strong, feisty woman who is independent and able to hold her own. I loved how protective Jax was, a total alpha. who ticked the boxes.

One Man is a mysterious romance about forbidden love, powerful families, and tragic events. From the very first page, I was left wondering what in the world was going on. Did I miss something? It was a frustratingly steamy read that left me wanting the next book ASAP.
The North family and the Knight family are powerful, wealthy families. The Knights own a chain of luxury hotels, whereas the Norths own their own whiskey – North Whiskey. It isn’t until Emma Knight meets Jax North, shortly after her dad passes, that she realizes that there is some bad blood between their families. Jax seems to know more on the topic than Emma, but she is determined to find out. It doesn’t take long to figure out that she is a pawn in the middle of this spiraling game, but she can’t stay away from Jax North.
The chemistry and steam surrounding Jax and Emma is unreal. At first, it seemed too instantaneously or obsessive but I quickly realized something. I don’t care. There was a spark between them the whole book. It makes it hard to deny their connection – instalove or not. It was hot. It was steamy. It was good.
Unfortunately, there were a few hiccups with this book. And unfortunately, I cannot talk about them due to spoilers but know that they were minor. The main thing that perturbed me was that cliffhanger ending. I’m okay with small cliffhangers, but this one left me dangling from the edge. This book was good and didn’t need such a cliffhanger to keep their audience coming back for more.
I recommend this one to all my mystery-lovin’ romance junkies out there. The next book, One Woman, comes out September 17th! I cannot wait.

Who is Jax North? I like him!! Who are Emma and Chance Knight? What do we learn about each of the three of them? I do not like Randall or Marion, and especially not York. There is a lot of oddness underfoot in this story. There is a ton of suspense and intrigue going on in this story. Lots of secrets being kept! The cliff-hanger at the end has me wanting to jump off the cliff myself. Read and see what happens in this first part of the trilogy!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
I may be a bit unusual in the fact I actually like trilogies. I like that an author can expand on their characters enough that we can’t learn all about them in one book. Their story is not rushed but told with a buildup of more to come.
An alpha, take no prisoners kinda man is how I would describe Jax! Perhaps fierce is more of a descriptive word. But to be in the midst of all that has surrounded him and Emma he would have to hold that title.
There are lies, mystery, intrigue, dishonesty and so much chemistry between Jax and Emma. We learn things are not what they always seem and truths are not always truths. I have fallen down the rabbit hole that is Lisa Renee Jones and I am hoping the 2nd book in this amazing trilogy will help me find my way out!
