Rating: 5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
Everything is coming to an explosive climax in the Inside Out series by Lisa Renee Jones. This short novella addresses Mark’s point of view at this point in the ongoing investigation into Rebecca’s death and also his growing feelings for Crystal Smith.

Mark finds himself experiencing feelings that are unfamiliar to him and causes him to struggle against giving into a possible relationship with Crystal. Each page reveals a kaleidoscope of emotions that they sizzle with their intensity.
Crystal knows that Mark is hurting and blaming himself for Rebecca’s death and regardless of the feelings he evokes in her, she refuses to give into them. Mark will destroy her if she gives in and goes with her desires. She is not a submissive and will not be one even for Mark. Crystal has worked for Mark’s mother and father for five years and they are very important to her. She would do anything to help them during this traumatic time. If that means helping Mark during this time then she will do it because Mark needs to be with his mother during her illness. Not on the other side of the country worrying about his business and the damage done by publicity about his involvement with Rebecca’s death. She is an expert running a business like his gallery and is willing to stay and take care of things while he returns to his mother’s bedside.
Mark refuses to let Crystal in, even though she touches him in a way no one ever has before.
