My Thoughts
Denial, the first offering in the Careless Whispers series, by Lisa Renee Jones; finds readers right back in the plot line that Ms. Jones seems to do best.
The woman running from a dangerous past. Right into the arms of a stranger that she shouldn't trust, and all the uncertainty, kink, mayhem, and possible murder that a girl could ever want.
This time around, there are far more questions, too few answers, and a heroine who knows absolutely nothing.
Well...nothing except that her name is Ella, she is an American, she woke up in a hospital in Italy, and her savior is a man by the name of Kayden Wilkins. Who has money, power, piercing eyes, a most delectable ass, and secrets... lots of secrets.
If you are a point A leads to point B plot lover. This is not the read for you. Because the leading lady has to spend the entire book discovering things about both herself and the man with whom she is now inextricably linked. The plot is one that dips, swirls, and often doubles back on itself; as pieces of its ever expanding puzzle slide into place.
Since the lady of the hour can't seem to get a grip on the slippery wicket that is her past. The vast majority of this book revolves around Kayden, his life on the periphery of the crime world, and his failed attempts to resist his overwhelming attraction to Ella.
In addition to all of the confusion, vacillation, and sexual escapades. There are also a whole host of friends, helpers, and possible traitors, surrounding both Ella and her protector at all times.
The most infuriating of which being Detective Gallo, a man bent on seeing Kayden brought down at any cost, as payback for an old slight that he has yet to let go.
This is a well written book. However, the circular plot and unclear overall direction of the book as a whole, leads one to believe this book to be staging for the second of its series. While said ambiguity does add an air of mystery to the goings on between this story's pages. It does not, in any way contribute to its readability.
