 Book one in the sexy and scintillating new White Lies duet by Lisa Renee Jones! 

There are those moments in life that are provocative in their very existences, that embed in our minds forever, and sometimes our very souls. They change us, mold us, maybe even save save us. But some are darker, dangerous. If we allow them to, they control us. Seduce us. Quite possibly even destroy us.
 

The moment I walked into Sonoma’s Reid Winter Winery and Vineyard and made eye contact with Faith Winter for the first time was one of those moments. Provocative because I know at least one of her secrets, of which, I suspect she has many. Provocative because she believes I was a stranger to her when we met, but I am not. Provocative because I sought her out, with no intention of touching her. But now I have. Now I want her. Now I have to have her. But that changes nothing. It doesn’t change why I came for her.



Faith is an artist. But she hasn't painted a thing in two years! She moved back home after her dad died to save the family winery in Sonoma. Which her mother was trying her best to drive into the ground. And now her mother is dead too, leaving Faith with a lot of debt all over the place.
Enter Nick Rogers. Super-lawyer from San Francisco.



He comes in to save the day. He's helping Faith with the banks and debt collectors. And he's also verrry handy in the bedroom - there's this mega-instant-attraction with those two. But both don't have time for something serious. And also - falling for Faith is not why Nick came to Sonoma. He's trying to find out why his dad died and why Faith's mom blackmailed him, and then died too. And where that million dollar blackmail money went. Because his beautiful Faith does not look like a blackmailing killer!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO FAITH & NICK???
WILL HIS SECRET MISSION DESTROY THEIR NEW RELATIONSHIP??
WILL THERE BE A HAPPY END?
CLIFFHANGER???? 
a little bit ;)
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT 
 _______________________________________________



I really enjoyed reading it.

I love it when I get to read a book set in California Wine Country!
I just love the whole atmosphere and lifestyle of those places. Even though the book is not really about wine.
I also really loved Nick and Faith.
BUT - all while reading - I had the feeling that I've read this story before. It's all so... hm - the same as every other book. Rich lawyer, poor little girl who needs help. Some very erotic things. Some mysterious things. A criminal person. BUT - all that was also what kept me reading. Because it was so very interesting and exciting. You just have to keep on reading, because first of all you need them to get their happy ending and you have to find out who the bad guys are and what they have planned!

Now I can't wait for book #2 to be released in July!!!!!


PROVOCATIVE was a very interesting & exciting & erotic romantic-mystery... Run to your nearest amazon for your own Nick - this one is MINE!!! Also, I'm claiming the location of Sonoma as mine too, just so you know!

ooooh - I totally forgot the best part about the book!! Guess who has guest appearances? CHRIS MERIT and Sara!!!! Eeeeep ☺ And Mark is mentioned too - not by name, but by sex club ☺☺☺




ARC received for an honest review


Provocative is an enjoyable start to the White Lies Duet.  I love books set in this part of California - not sure what it is I like about it since I have never been there, but for some reason I do!


The premise of Nick and Faith's story is not a new one, and whilst we have kind of read it all before, this does not mean that I did not enjoy it. 


Ms Jones kept us wondering, kept us needing to know the whos the whats and the whys of the tale.  Who can they trust?  Can they trust each other?

Will they be able to find their way to a HEA?

Well, for that we are going to have to wait until July to find out.

What I really adored about this book is that we got to see our Chris and Sara! 

This first part of the White Lies series is sweet and sexy and yes, provocative, now I am impatiently waiting for part 2.
