EXCERPT

Excerpt from All of Me (Inside Out #6) by Lisa Renee Jones. Copyright 2014

We say a quick goodbye, and to my shock, the instant I push the “end” button, Chris pulls

the 911 to the shoulder of the road, puts it in park and turns to me. “Talk to me. What just

happened?”

“You stopped to ask me what happened?”

“Yes. I stopped to ask what happened. Now, tell me.”

My lashes lower a moment as I savor just how good this man is to me. I curl my fingers

on my cheek. “Thank you for stopping, but really, there was nothing worthy of concern. Let’s go

to the chateau.”

“After you tell me what happened,” he orders, but the tenderness lacing the stubborn

determination of his tone wins me over, as does his sincerity. He really cares and I am truly not

alone anymore.

“When Katie wanted to know if there was anyone on my side of the family to coordinate

with, it hit a nerve. I started worrying about Ella, and thinking about my father, who I don’t want

to come to our wedding. I truly don’t,  yet somehow, the very fact that I don’t gives him the

power to twist me in knots.”  

Chris nods. “As did my father to me, no matter how much of a bastard he became.

Sometimes I think the worse he treated me, the more I wanted to win back his affection.”

I’d seen glimpses of these feelings before now, but this is the first time he’s spoken them

aloud. “Maybe it’s some inborn need to feel close to a parent?”

“That’s the only conclusion I could come to when I couldn’t let him go. I still can’t. He’s

always with me, making sure I stay just a little more fucked up.”

“If you’re fucked up, it’s all kinds of right, Chris Merit. That charity work Tristan talked

about? You don’t just throw money at it. You give pieces of your soul to those kids and their

families. You make a difference and I’ll be honored to help you do it.”

He pulls my hand to his mouth and kisses my fingers. “Let’s elope. Anyplace you want to

go. Say the word and as far as I’m concerned we’ll go tomorrow.”

“What? No. We decided on Katie and  Mike’s place together. And my ring isn’t even

done.”

“This isn’t about a ring. Or Katie and Mike, or anyone else. It’s about us and I don’t want

you worried about your father or the guest list. You know I’m not big on attention anyway.”

I lace my fingers with his. “You’re trying to protect me and I appreciate that, but I want to

get married under those hanging rose your mother inspired Katie to plant.”

“Don’t do this for me, baby. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. That’s all I

need.”

“It’s for us. You know my father is just a hot button for me. I’ll get by it. And truth be

told, I’m a little raw over Amber, too. That night here in Paris when I went to the club I had this

sense I needed to save her. I shouldn’t have listened to that feeling.”

“Don’t do that to yourself. You barely knew her.”

“Yet, on some level I felt her screaming for help. But I second-guessed myself and

thought it was Rebecca and Ella influencing my feelings.”

“You were a lot of the reason I pushed to get Amber help, Sara. It was just too little too

late. That’s on me, not you.”

“No-”

“Yes,” he says, stroking the hair out of my eyes, his hand staying at the back of my head.

“Now here’s what’s going to happen. We’re going to leave this all right here and I’m going to

drive us the fifteen minutes we have left to get to the chateau, where we’re going to fuck like

rabbits. Then, we’re going to eat and fuck some more. After we sleep, we’ll set some rules with

Katie about the wedding so you won’t worry about it and then we’ll fuck some more. And since I

had the caretaker that lives in the house behind the chateau stock enough food to last us a week,

we can stay in bed for days on end. Any objections so far?”

I smile and not just at his words, but at his rapid shift from dark Chris, to playful, sexy

Chris. “And if I do?”

 He, leans closer to me, his breath on my ear. “I’ll just tie you to the bed.”

Yes. Please. My list of objections begins to form.

Overall Rating:  4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★

Love Laughter and Happily Ever After…sometimes really happens!

The long awaited conclusion All of Me by Lisa Renee Jones was worth the wait. In Book 6 of the Inside Out series, Sara and Chris are putting the final touches on their wedding. They are no longer suspects in a murder case and are trying to put the past behind them. Only a few loose ends still need to be tied up before the happy day.

Chris is working to carry out his friend Amber’s wishes in regard to the business that they co-owned.  The scars that are left with her death will be hard to heal and the pull toward his need to relieve his pain with the whip is strong. His strength is his love for Sara and her support is unconditional.  He will not give in!  Even when Amber’s boyfriend Tristan pushes him to the brink, he will not break.     

The need to protect Chris is strong and Sara will not let anyone harm him.  He is her strength and keeps her demons from the past at bay. Sara’s friend is still missing, but there is still hope that she will be found in time.  Her wedding plans are coming together and soon she will be Mrs. Chris Merit.  Dreams do come true and it will only take time!   

Their future looks bright but there are still questions that must be answered.  Old friendships will once again be regained and even the dark needs can be pushed away with the love that is present between Sara and Chris.  Will Chris finally be able to share all of his past?  Is he ready?

Hero-Chris Merit: 4.25 stars
Heroine –Sara McMillan: 4.25 stars
Steam: 4.25 stars 
Plot: 4.25 stars 
Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! If you want to see where Sara and Chris are in their relationship, this is a perfect book for you.  It continues with their organismic relationship and the heat sizzles from each page.

Would I recommend this author: Yes! Each book that Ms. Jones shares with her fans builds a stronger look at the world she has created with this series.  But she is not limited to just this series, if you have not read other series by this remarkable author you need to put them on your list of must reads.
