What they find is a mystery that could stretch beyond all their expectations. And what Emma finds is danger. One Woman begins where One Man ended, with Emma one step from death and Jax the only man who can save her.
One empowered woman! 5 stars
Lisa Renee Jones knows how to write a romantic, sexy, intense, suspenseful novel, because I devoured this book in one sitting! The story just flowed from beginning to end, and the story continues right where One Man left off. Jax and Emma are falling for each other against all odds, and it was emotional. Emma still has trust and running-away issues, but Jax breaks down her walls. My heart broke for Emma as we learn more about what happened in her past relationship, but she takes her power back and it was glorious! Jax is just the perfect combination of dominant, powerful, yet protective and gentle, and Jax impressed me with his need to fight for their relationship. We do learn an answer to one of the mysteries, and it was shocking! But we are left with another cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to see how the story finishes!
I received a copy of this ebook from the author for my honest review.
One Woman picks up right where One Man left off, and Jax springs into action immediately. He’s not about to let his brother hurt Emma, the woman he’s falling in love with. But, Brody still believes that Emma is just like her family. Who is Jax to believe? Emma, the woman he’s realizing is not like the rest of her family? Or his own brother?
Damn…this trilogy just keeps ramping up the intensity and the questions with each installment. There’s so much going on here that it’s a wonder that Emma and Jax got through to the end. I love how they fought to be together, fought for each other. They’re realizing that they are not only falling in love but that really they need to rely on each other. I feel for them, though, because there are still mysteries and secrets and they’re so much in the dark about a lot. Their journey to falling in love has a lot of obstacles, but they’re sticking with each other, thankfully. But of course, true to form, there’s another cliffhanger and now I’m left with even more questions than I had when One Man ended.
ARC via author.
This is one continuation that I was overeagerly awaiting. The heart-startling ending of the first book was pure adrenaline. And here is the very intense, perfectly suspenseful second part that I devoured with glee.
The setting is a chilling castle with dark corners and malfunctioning electricity where evil men and tragic memories lurk. Emma and Jax battle the feud between their families a la Romeo and Juliet. And it is erotic, passionate, raw and gripping.
The mystery that surrounds a dead brother and enemy families is brewing really dark and enigmatic.
I enjoyed the tension that pulls this couple apart at every opportunity, but they fight back with ferocity. Maybe she runs scared a few times, but she holds deep scars and I understood her knee-jerk reaction. She is still brave and caring, and he is determined to keep her as his forever. That was so good. Savage makes his acutely unforgettable contribution to security and foul-mouthed dialogues. This man is a diamond in the rough, emphasis on rough.
The relationship goes down a winding path among dirty surprises and threats everywhere. There’s no dull moment both in plot and in couple scenes. They are sizzling, and even fun in some teasing ways. And while the two empires seem to run in collision course, another mortal cliffhanger delivers the killing blow. Big way to end for now. I am devoted to this story!
4.5 Intense Stars
So many secrets still left to uncover. All the while Emma and Jax embrace their connection and try to move forward and ready to fight to hold on to what they have.
In part two of the story Jax North and Emma Knight we’re still no close to knowing the whole truth of what started the war between the two families. So many secrets are still unanswered and the closer they get the more questions they end up with. But through it all it’s quite clear that Jax will stop at nothing to hold on to what he has with Emma. Emma, too, wants to hold on tightly but fears when everything is finally out in the open it will tear them apart.
When it comes to suspense and passion the intensity level for book two is only increasing to nail biting levels. I don’t know what’s in store for the conclusion to their story but I’m seriously anxious to find out.
Wow! This second book in the Naked Trilogy series will pull you in from the beginning and may even cause you to throw your kindle?book by the end . We pick up right where book one left us. Emma has met Jax’s brother Brody. There are still secrets between the Knight and North families and Emma and Jax are caught in the middle. Both must learn to trust one another and open up about what has happened to them as well as between their families. They realize that they are caught in the middle and their bond is growing stronger. One thing they can agree on is that no one is going to tear them apart. The chemistry between them is so hot and steamy. Some secrets are starting to come to light and others are yet to be revealed. Ms Jones as always knows how to weave a story full of suspense and intrigue as well as keeping the reader at the end of their chair wondering what could possibly happen next? The secondary characters are as important to the overall feel of the story as the main characters and with all that is happening you can’t help but wonder what will happen next and who is behind it all. I am looking forward to the next part in Emma and Jax’s story and finally being able to find out all the secrets as well as having Emma dn Jax find the HEA they so rightly desereve.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book
*SLOW BLINK* Wow! This book starts where the last book ends and actually gives you a refresher of that book which I think is fabulous!!!
Anywho, we have Jax and Emma trying to figure out if their relationship can withstand all of the secrets that they’re uncovering. Will Emma stop running? Will she be able to stand up for herself? Will Jax convince her that THEY are worth it?
Will there be more secrets that shock the crap out of you? (I was shocked!) The ending! Holy crap, the ending!!! Now I’m over here tapping my fingers for it! LOL
AND I can’t wait for Savage’s books!! He cracks me up!!!
I am absolutely loving this trilogy! Things are starting to come together and the pace is picking up. As we learn the answers to some of our questions, more start piling up. Jones is dropping little bread crumbs here and there, making me wonder who we can trust. The mystery has me tearing through the pages to discover what really happened and why. Every time I think I have something figured out, something else blindsides me and has me questioning everything. Jones is really keeping me on my toes.
The relationship between Emma and Jax continues to grow. I love their connection and their closeness. The passion they share is electric. This is definitely a steamy read! I can’t wait for the next installment, the anticipation has me on the edge of my seat!!
One Man finished off or a literal cliffhanger and One Woman started right there, with Emma’s life hanging in the balance.
There’s more twists and turns to follow, more secrets to fish out and lies to uncover. Jax and Emma’s torrid love affair burns even hotter but they have real questions and dilemmas that could tear them apart.
This was a heart-racing, thrilling, suspense-filled story full of steam and angst. Jax was even more broody and dangerous as well as being steeped in sexiness. Emma did her best to keep her head above water as more and more revelations unfold.
It’s a fast-paced race to… well, not the end. Just, the end… for now. Part three will have all the answers we’re searching for. Can’t wait for ‘Two Together’ to get them.
One Woman by Lisa Renee Jones is book Two in the Naked Trilogy. This continues the story of Emma Knight and Jax North, so you really should read the previous book “One Man” first to full enjoy this one. Emma has trust issues that have her with doubts that her family seems to keep throwing on her. Jax is wanting to find out what really happen with his brother. Their family’s are enemies that work to pull them apart and cause doubt. They both work to unravel the mystery that his hidden but has been coming to light. This book doesn’t end their story and will continue to the next one ” Two Together”. This is a page turning story for me…can’t wait for the next installment.
This series keeps getting better and better omg!!!! Jax and Emma are still going strong but damn it’s such a puzzle everyone is a suspect and everyone looks guilty. They’ve fallen in love and Jax is very protective of Emma. But poor Emma is being pulled in so many directions and everyone with their comments makes her doubt Jax and even her brother. She’s to the point that she doesn’t know who to trust anymore. She finally stood up to her dirty ex but it seems like she can’t catch a break. Jax isn’t forthcoming with lots of things and makes you question his real motives but I know for sure he’s in love with Emma. Her brother?! Hmmmmm…… Jury is still out on him. I’m glad that Emma has Jax and even Savage because she’s definitely alone without those two. Now that cliffhanger?!?! I suspected that and now I’m not sure who to trust!!!! November is too far?!?! I need that ending!!!
One Woman is Jaw Dropping Fantastic! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Lisa Renee Jones gives us non stop hard racing moments. Secrets are exposed while more questions arise. I am always left wondering how Lisa can weave these suspenseful sexy story’s and keep us completely entangled.
Jax and Emma are both two people with their own secrets. They are together and falling hard for each other. But as they say… The secrets of the father are not always buried with the dead!
I can’t wait for the conclusion!
5 Fantastic Stars
Oh my me!! Ms. Jones continues to bring the mystery, the intrigue and the holy hotness in this second book of the Naked Trilogy.
This book continues right where One Man stops. With Emma in a dangerous, life threatening situation.
Even with everything and everyone against them, the fragile relationship and the developing love between Jax and Emma is shining through.
More horrible secrets are revealed. And Jax and Emma are trying hard to stay together despite everything. Oh to have that kind of determination!
Emma is finally gathering the strength she needs to keep pushing forward in her determination to find out just why her family is so against Jax’s family.
Jax is the ever present strength and support that Emma needs (heck we all need sometimes) and yet he too is being hammered with secrets and trying to find who he can truly trust.
This series is classic Lisa Renee Jones, it kept me riveted and invested in this story until the end, and oh what a bombshell to drop on us poor readers at the end! To have to wait for the final story in this saga is going to be torture!
The North and Knight families are back and there are more and more secrets than ever. The connection between Jax and Emma continues to grow, their chemistry continues despite the threat of the families.
Emma and Jax have escaped to Maine and to the Castle. Jax is still trying to figure out what really happened to his brother and Emma is trying to figure out if her family was truly involved. Some things come to light, but if more secrets are revealed will their relationship be able to handle the truth?
I loved that we got so much of Jax and Emma together, of their relationship and of their hopes for the future in this book. I devoured this one and loved every single twist and turn from the very beginning.
After that bombshell of a cliffhanger I can’t wait to see where this story ends and for the wild ride I know it will take me on.
This picks up exactly where One Man ends.
ONE WOMAN is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ NAKED erotic, romance trilogy thirty-four year old, about billionaire Jax North, and twenty-eight year old Emma Knight.
The relationship between Jax and Emma is sexually erotic, sensual and vulnerable.
It is a story of family, betrayal, and vengeance; power, money and control.
Jax is the One Man that who holds more than her heart in the palm of his hands.
Its great to try to unravel the mystery while being fully entertained along the way. And to see Savage from the Walker Brothers…
the Cliffhanger…OMG,a big surpise was dropped at the end of this book! Can’t wait for Two Together!!
Holy heck! This author is killing me with these cliffhangers. I need answers ASAP!
This picks up exactly where One Man ends. The tension is high, the horror Emma experiences is real, and danger is a shadow threatening her at every turn. As Jax and her attempt to find solutions and answers, that only lead to more questions, they are struggling to hold tight to their new relationship.
’We are traveling on this path between families together, a path with history we do not know or understand, but everything between us isn’t about the path. It’s about the many paths we’ve traveled separate and apart of the one that presents itself in the here and now.’
I absolutely love Emma and the sheer strength of will she holds within her as she has overcome so much in her life. And once she is all in with Jax, she must then make a heartbreaking decision that might result in her removing herself from his life forever. It was soul clinching and the reason was a nightmare of epic proportions. My respect for her grew throughout this story as her secrets are slowly revealed.
’I choose right now to believe he will be the best thing that ever happened to me. Because he feels like more than a lover. He feels like a best friend I’m just getting to know. The kind of best friend a girl could fall in love with.’
Jax is absolute perfection. Despite the past that threatens to tear Emma and him apart, he is determined to hold fast to her. Living a current Romeo and Juliet story, he refuses to let her go, even if one of their biggest concerns ends up being true and her family really is responsible for his brother’s death.
’”I have always been a man who goes for what he wants, who fights until I’m bloody, but bloody doesn’t mean I lose. It means I can take the pain if it means we win. Watch and see.”’
At each turn of the page we are given answers that lead to more questions. Some are shocking and some will leave you looking around every corner for who the true villain is. At the heart of the mystery is the burgeoning love between Jax and Emma. What they have sizzles across every page, made more intense by Jax’s desire to protect her at every cost. I love the way this author integrates incredible suspense and intrigue with romance that causes your heart to boom.
This story kept me engaged from beginning to end with a pace that, while not action filled, had enough emotional conflict I didn’t want to skim a word. Secondary characters range from our favorite Walker Security expert, Savage, to family, friends and employees – any of who could be the cause of Jax’s brother’s death. With another cliffhanger that has me snarling, I wanted to throw my kindle. I knew it was going to end in a cliffie, but holy heck, this author knows how to grab you and keep you, ensuring you’ll want to read the next addition to the series.
The man she thought she knew turns out to be more than she ever dreamed. One Man could be her saving grace or her eternal downfall. Jax and Emma continue to stir up trouble and step into danger. She’s the One Woman he can’t forget. He’s the One Man that who holds more than her heart in the palm of his hands. Can life on the run lead to a love that neither can live without? Jones keeps hearts racing and hormones raging with an intensity that’s all her own. Dangerous hearts make for captivating romance.
And the plot thickens!
There were so many secrets in the first book that I had no idea what could have caused it all. I just knew that two people from waring families found out that their attraction was stronger. In One Woman, Jax and Emma will have to decide if that attraction is stronger than those secrets. Secrets that could mean murder.
I enjoyed this book mainly because despite not knowing the truth, Jax and Emma took a chance on each other. Emma fears that once the secrets are revealed that it could tear them apart, however Jax is determined that they are stronger than that. We got a whole book of these two together and working to stay together.
A pretty big plot bomb was dropped at the end of this book but there are still so many questions. I’m starting to eye some of these side characters very suspiciously. I’m anxious to know if I am choosing the true enemies or not. I’m going to try to patiently wait for the conclusion.
4.25 stars-ONE WOMAN is the second instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult NAKED erotic, romance trilogy focusing on thirty-four year old, billionaire financial planner for North Whiskey Jax North, and twenty-eight year old hotel heiress Emma Knight. ONE WOMAN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one ONE MAN.
Told from dual first person perspectives ( Jax and Emma) ONE WOMAN continues to focus on the search for the truth. In the aftermath of Emma’s father’s death, and the perceived suicide of Jax’s brother Hunter, Jax and Emma struggle to come to terms with what happened and why. While Emma’s brother Chance is desperate to keep Emma away from Jax North, there are other players in the game whose sole purpose is to destroy our leading couple. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Jax and Emma, and that potential fall-out as Emma’s past, Chance’s business partners, and Jax’s family push at the proverbial envelope in an effort to tear our couple apart.
The relationship between Jax and Emma is sexually erotic, sensual and vulnerable. Emma must put her trust in a man who, in the beginning, targeted our heroine for the death of his brother; and Jax must come to terms with his attraction and growing love for the daughter of the man out to destroy them all. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense.
ONE WOMAN is a story of family, betrayal, and vengeance; power, money and control. The premise is engrossing, intelligent and spicy; the romance is provocative; the characters are strong and edgy. Rick Savage returns as part of the Walker Security Team-Savage’s story begins with Savage Hunger in December 2019. ONE WOMAN ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
