CONTINUING CAT AND REESE'S STORY
(read the beginning of their story in Dirty Rich One Night Stand)


One and done. It was supposed to be one night. I knew his type. You don't fall in love with a man like Reese Summer, but I did. He swept me off my feet, seduced me, refused to take no for an answer. We became a power couple. The syndicated crime reporter. One of the country's top criminal attorneys. The fantasy became happily ever after until the next big trial of the century. Reese is defending a woman accused of killing her father for billions. I'm reporting on the case. And then the world around us explodes. The trial turns to danger right as a secret from Reese's past shocks me.  Someone who wants to destroy our happily ever after. Someone wants to end me.




Reese Summer is back! ☺



Again he's the attorney trying to get a NOT GUILTY for his client in this huge case - a heiress who allegedly killed her father.

Then there's Cat.
She's still writing her crime column and she's in that courtroom with Reese every day.
And she also just found out that she's kinda pregnant. But she doesn't want Reese to know - she doesn't want him to worry about her. He needs to concentrate on his job.

And then we have a weird stalker ex of Reese's sniffing around the courthouse ...

Lots of exciting and dangerous moments to overcome until we can finally ride of into our forever ever after sunset!



So Adorable & Exciting!

Cat and Reese. We already loved them in their first book and now they're back for an encore - and it's not a little happily ever after novella, like I expected! It's a sexy & exciting & mysterious & adorable full-length courtroom/murder/stalker/pregnant drama!
There's so much story in here!
We have Cat, who just found out she's pregnant - I'm not spoiling much in saying that - she finds out around the 2% mark - and there is also an early cover with a pregnant Cat on it!☺
She's so worried that Reese will lose his trial if he knows and worries about the baby.
And then we have the whole murder case. Who did it? Is Dana really innocent?
And what the effing hell does this stalker person Debbie want and why?

Very exciting and mysterious and unputdownable. You just have to keep on reading. We want Reese to do his sexy lawyer thing in court and win this thing. And we want Debbie out of the way and we want the baby to be ok and for Reese to not be mad when he finds out.
And we have all the people from the other books in here too helping and Cat's brothers and the Walker people!
Ugh, so much in one book!

I loved it! It might have been my favorite in the series!!! ♥

It could've been a little bit shorter - there's a lot of repeating and unnecessary stuff - but that's just Lisa's writing style. And I love reading her stories!
And the end ... I was expecting so much more drama and excitement - in the end we just ended the trial and the stalker situation way too easily. BUT - that's also totally aceptable - I didn't want anyone to get hurt or killed either! ☺

DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND - TWO YEARS LATER was another very adorable & exciting lawyer-courtroom-stalker-secretly-pregnant-wife dramance!
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Reese - this one is MINE!!!☺


ARC received for an honest review

Welcome back to Lisa's world of corporate high flyers, dirty deals and even dirtier men!

I have to say, Reese and Cat are my favourite couple in the dirty series.

We are again on a big legal case, Reese doesn't like to lose, and Cat is writing her column.

I loved seeing our lovelies 2 years down the track, and fell more for Reese than I did before.

However, Miss Jones, give our guys a break! More drama, more people trying to ruin their relationship - I just want them to have the happy for a little while!

It was great seeing more of the other guys and gals from the Dirty series, and I look forward to seeing where the next story takes us.





♥ EXCERPT ♥

CAT...

“Cat, I’m not guilty.”

“I know.”

“You don’t,” he says, his voice hard now. “I feel that in you now.” He squeezes his eyes shut. “Damn it.”

“I trust you, Reese, but the idea that other people might not, feels weird which is probably why I just want to shut this down. It’s about control. I’d have some kind of control I don’t have right now but it’s not your fault. We need to end this. Your career matters.”

He lowers me to the couch, and comes down on top of me, like he needs to hold me in place to keep me from running. “You matter. Only you.”

“Your career matters,” I repeat. “It matters to you and me. It matters to us and our future. It matters to our future family. Pay her off.”

“Our family?”

“Yes. Our family, Reese. We want one. Don’t we?”

“Yes, sweetheart. We do.”

“Then let’s go downstairs and end this.”

“Not yet,” he says. “I’m not ready. We’re not ready.”

“We are ready. We’re strong together. We need to show that strength now.”

“You’re strong,” he says. “So damn strong, Cat, and I swore when you said ‘I do’ I’d keep you from having to be that strong. I’m supposed to protect you.”

“We protect each other.”

“I need to feel you right now,” he says, his mouth closing down on mine, a deep drugging lick of his tongue stroking against mine, possessiveness, passion, and something I’ve never felt in Reese in that kiss: desperation and fear. He’s afraid of losing me and I feel that same fear, for no reason. We’re in love. We’re happy. That isn’t going to change because of these allegations.

***

REESE...

I kiss my wife, who is my life, and I will let no one take her from me. I want her to know this. I want her to feel, not just hear, how much I love her, and yet, there is a rage of anger inside me I need to bury and control. I have to go downstairs and act like I’m king of the fucking world when everything I love is right here in this room, and delicate, too damn delicate. As surely as I think those words, though, Cat bites my lips, and not gently. “Get out of whatever place you are in your head,” she demands. “Right now. I know what you need, so use me.”

“I never use you, Cat.”

“I use you,” she says. “Every time I need out of my own head, I drive you to the edge until you fuck me the way I want to be fucked. Until you make me forget and,” she grabs the lapels of my jacket, “stop what you’re doing right now. Stop acting like we’re different because that makes me think things that I didn’t think before, that I know aren’t true, but you’re scaring me. You’re making me think this is going to change us.”

“It’s not,” I say roughly. “I’m just angry.”

“Then be angry. Deal with it, with me. Show me.”

I don’t need to be pushed any further. I need her. My mouth closes down on hers, my tongue licking into her mouth in a deep, hungry kiss, and I let her taste everything I feel. My fear of losing her, and us. The gut-wrenching moment I heard the allegations against me. Just thinking about how that must have affected Cat, gutted me. Just thinking about her actually believing it, tore me apart. And some part of her has to doubt. It’s human. I don’t want her to doubt.

I tear my mouth from hers. “You’re all I need. You’re what I needed before I even knew I needed it.” I kiss her again and then raise up on my knees to shrug out of my jacket, tugging away my tie and tossing them both. I’m back with Cat in all of sixty seconds, kissing her again, my hand caressing her waist, reaching up to cup her breast.


She arches into my touch and while moments ago, I just needed inside her, the anger in me refocuses on the here and now, and Cat. It’s all Cat. I want her to moan for me. I want her to come for me. I want and want where she is concerned, and she needs to feel that now.
