However, I found Lisa Renee Jones' writing style weird at times. Example- Royce was narrating and speaking to his brother on the phone. In that same paragraph it was narrated that his brother was looking at his computer screen. If Royce is narrating and on the phone with his brother, how can he narrate that his brother was looking at the computer screen?
Royce and Lauren were o Predictable Writing: Royce and Lauren were okay. The angst between the characters the secret was not substantial. It seemed petty and the level of anger from Lauren unwarranted. The beginning definitely grabbed my attention. Lisa did not begin with a long boring narrative, she jumped right in with the characters and some great action! The rest of the story was predictable. I figured out the stalker and who was involved early.
Also, Lisa created this build up, but once it reached the climax it fell short. Everything happened quickly; a couple of paragraphs and it was over. I had to re-read it a couple of times to grasp that it was over. The book had potential. It started out really good, but then it veered off track. View all 4 comments. Apr 18, Shari Kay rated it it was ok Shelves: I think it was free when I downloaded it and I just never got around to reading it.
It was a quick read. Nothing offensive or triggerish. Alpha male who beta downs when necessary. Independent h who admits she likes his growly ways without losing herself. Instalust to love within a matter of days. The 'deception' was forgiven within the space of a car ride. The 'bad guy' was OTT, the accomplice even more so. The details about the woman who 2. The details about the woman who committed murder, which was the impetus for the entire plot was sorely lacking. I wanted to know why Mark took the case.
I wanted to know why the h was drawing such a hard line about it. I wanted to know what her father had to do with it. It was left hanging. Oh, and what was up with the watch? Did the father put a gps in it? We are never told. But not this particular series. Sure, I've read this storyline before.
Sure, it was predictable. Sure, it was generic. But, I mean all those descriptions in the best way possible.
I'm not going to get stuck thinking about what this book "means" and trying to find a life-changing message. I'll walk away from reading this having been entertained and having enjoyed myself. I really liked both th 3. I really liked both the characters: Royce I think I'm going to really like reading the entire Walker Security series! Enjoyed their chemistry and commitment to one another. And the suspense aspect was entertaining as well.
PS - almost subtracted my standard. Royce might just be able to pull it off Royce Walker is a whole lot of sexy. He has skills that make him perfect for protecting the innocent or those in danger. He gets asked to look into some threats to a senator's daughter and out of obligation agrees to see what he can find out.
He finds himself with Lauren Reynolds the beautiful Assistant DA at her father the senator's birthday party. Not long after that he already finds himself providing her with protection. Lauren is one tough chick though and it takes a lot to rattle her. As th Royce Walker is a whole lot of sexy.
As the story progresses more and more the threats get that much more serious. Royce enlists his brothers Luke and Blake to help him try to figure out what's going on. All the while keeping the secret from Lauren that he is there for protection while in fact he is also in love with her.
This is fast paced story. Filled with action, suspense and thrills. You get to meet all 3 of the Walker brothers and let me tell you they all come across as hot and sexy and capable. Try to guess who the bad guy is. I had several thoughts to who it might be but never could nail down who was behind the threats to Lauren.
This is one of those read in one sitting books that i love. Feb 10, Sharron E. I started this whole series after reading the walker security series so kind of backwards but I'm in love with these boys. Hot Secrets in another awesome read by author Lisa Renee Jones. If you have not read a book by this author you are in for a treat as she writes sizzling hot stories.

I look forward to the next book in this series. Hot sizzling sex, suspense and action - what more could you want to keep you entertained for hours. Read this book, and you will agree. I enjoyed this sweet, hot, steamy romantic suspense novel. Lauren is an Assistant District Attorney and is known to work cases that are dangerous. She is tough as nails and keeps pushing even when there is known danger.
Royce Walker has always been attracted to Lauren and takes the opportunity to become more involved with her when he finds out she may be in danger. He is a former badass FBI Agent and has opened a private security firm with his brothers. When the brothers are together their antics are funny and endearing. There is an insta-connection with this couple that happens pretty quick in the story and it builds from there. Royce pretty much takes over with wanting and trying to protect Lauren from harm.
The villain in the story is creepy and it was surprising was a little surprising to me at the end. Overall, I enjoyed reading this one and will check out the next books in the series. I want to read more about the brothers. One of my complaints is that sometimes Lauren came across as slightly dense, I mean how many red flags do you need to figure out that maybe something is not right. It's probably me, but I find myself getting a bit bored with crazy stalker stories. A stalking sub plot can add a bit of much needed drama to a romance, something that KA does really well, but when it's the main plot, as it was in this, it leaves me feeling a bit I would've preferred to read more of their time together when they weren't fretting about what the evil stalker was gonna do next.
I bought the box set, but I don't think I'll read the rest of the Walker bros stories for now, they're just not doing it for me. Assistant District Attorney Lauren Reynolds is getting ready for a big case and is getting threats. Royce Walker steps up to the plate to protect her.
But Lauren doesn't know that her father asked Royce to protect her. A hot and steamy little number. It was a decent entertaining read but not fleshed out enough to really enjoy it. I suspected that the stalker was the person it turned out to be but was surprised with his partner. I liked the alpha male and the story kept me interested throughout. Feb 17, The Book Junkie Reads. Hot, steamy, intriguing romantic suspense. Royce Walker has the perfect job when it counts. He is allowed to use his job as the reason for protecting his long time obsession, Lauren Reynolds.
She is the Assistant DA and has a boat load of trouble heading her way. But Royce maybe the one thing that no one expected to have her back and front. The fireworks just bloom from there. Take the ride and enjoy as the climax rides its high and all the way to completion.
Jones has brought me another hot rom Hot, steamy, intriguing romantic suspense. Jones has brought me another hot romance to get the blood flowing. Eric Michael put that extra need in the way he voiced the story. A connection to the characters was forged with the words but bonded with his rich timber and smooth diction.
May 06, Witchmetal rated it it was ok. This was my first book by this author. This is not my idea of a strong female character. I wanted to slap her a lot. And the instant love where she had her head resting on his chest in the first 10 mins of meeting him. Lisa Renee Jones is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! Her stories are hot and suspenseful! The men are hot and the heroines are strong without being bitchy! Royce is an ex-FBI agent who checks into threats made to Lauren as a favor to her dad.
When they get thrown together, things get hot between the sheets! I really liked Royce. When called on his bossiness, he was willing to try to not be so bossy. Lauren is a strong professional woman who needs a little protecting. She was vulnerable without being wimpy and clingy. Even though she had been hurt before, she was still willing to take a chance on Royce. Royce and Lauren were both great characters. They were strong and made mistakes. But they were also willing to put their feeling out there for the other person. In fact, I was rooting for them and cheering them on.
The suspense in the book was awesome. The threats could have been coming from any number of people and while some people were definite front-runners, it was not easy to figure out. In fact, I was surprised by who was the guilty party. This is a great beginning to the series and I look forward to reading the next ones!
This is my first book by Lisa Renee Jones and I did enjoy it.

Royce is very taken with Lauren but realizes that his assignment may ruin any chance he may have had at having her.
Threats to Lauren increase and Walker Security steps up to provide protection and investigate who the possible culprit could be. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Refresh and try again.

This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Lauren and Royce what a combo.. Brad , Royce and Luke help protect Lauren from someone who is stalking her Royce falls in love with Lauren.. All the stories about the Walker brothers are worth reading. In particular, I enjoyed rereading Hot Secrets. Royce and Lauren's dynamite love affair is what makes romance books worth reading. The passion, emotions, thrills Lisa Renee Jones can pour into her prose, is what makes this series worth reading. The Walker brothers are HOT, alpha and "yummiliciously" unforgettable!
This is amazing all three walker brothers and the first time that Royce was introduce into the wonderful world that only Lisa Renee Jones can create. Her writing is phenomenal. Her writing pulls you right into the book and makes you go feel desperate to find out what is going to happen next! On sale 3 days only! Nov 30, Naughty Mom Story Time rated it really liked it. The Walker brothers are quite intense with their alpha-ness. Each of them are quite different but are driven by the same goal - to protect. That protectiveness is at a level that surpasses any service their agency provides.
In the Tall, Dark and Deadly series we meet these three brother who are very different f The Walker brothers are quite intense with their alpha-ness. In the Tall, Dark and Deadly series we meet these three brother who are very different from one another as they find an unexpected love -as with Royce and Lauren; get a second chance at love - as with Luke and Julie; or re-discover love - as with Blake and Kara.
For romance, suspense and some action - this is a series that will give that to you. Hot Secrets I was hooked from the very beginning and I am in love with each and every Alpha Walker brother! Full of angst and suspense and some quite steamy scenes as well! Luke has to be my favorite Walker so far. The angst and connection in this book kept me glued to my seat throughout the entire story. That aside I did enjoy the connection between Kara and Blake.
Secrets Exposed I enjoyed all of the intensity of Lindsey and Mark's story. Lisa Renee Jones knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat with her stories. Pure Addiction I'm now a addict. After reading this boxed set I'm am addicted I want more!! And the tease at the end was so hot you just gotta have more. What a way too hook the readers! I highly enjoyed each book. Best boxed set ever!! With every page I turned I was consumed by the danger, the pleasure and more.
Some of the hottest and best books I've ever read. You will not be sorry if you purchase this set. You will not be able to stop reading until the last page is turned. Then you w Pure Addiction I'm now a addict. Then you will rush to get your greedy hands on more! I'm definitely now author Lisa Renee Jones newest biggest fan!!
Big bad men and the women that tamed them! I found your writing style to be very good and fun to read,but I think you mist some points along the way as when in Blake and Kara went into that office building looking for evidence, the Walker brothers would have known there was security and that they were walking into the Lions den.
F Big bad men and the women that tamed them! Not the greatest security guys Every time I turned the page the bad guy had gotten close to the lady that main guy was with. Dumb then he was always letting her wonder off on her own and bam bad guy attacks Overall I didn't care for any of the books. I would rate them all a big 2 stars. Out of order Warning: It's a prequel to the series. Not sure why it's included as the fourth instead of first. The first three stories introduce 3 brothers who've started their own security company.
Each meets his "intended" through their work. The stories seemed to deteriorate a little as you read from 1 to 3 but were ok. Excellent box set Really enjoyed this box set! All three novels and the one novella, had suspense and plenty of steam to keep me hooked. Each one can be read as a stand-alone, but probably best read in order. You'll read about all the sexy and succulent Walker men Royce, Luke, and Blake, along with the women they claimed. As an added bonus you'll meet the hot and handsome attorney Mark as well. You won't be disappointed in this series!
