Denial by Lisa Renee JonesMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I have not read any books by this author but having read so many glowing reviews on this series and also such a great synopsis, I decided to give it a try.
Denial is the 1st book in Lisa Renee Jones, Careless Whispers Series, which is a spinoff from her Inside Out Series, which I haven't read yet.
A beautiful American woman wakes up in a hospital bed in Rome, Italy with no idea of who she is, to find the most-beautiful-man-in-the-world , who turns out to be the person who saved her from a street mugging.
Makes it better being saved by beautiful said man/....right!!
She doesn't trust him but there's no one else to help her....so she goes off with him to his fabulous Rome palace.....yes, a palace!!
Now, in this palace live the most unbelievable characters...
Yes, the beautiful man, Kayden Wilkens, turns out to be the head of a secret underground group, named the Underground...he's the leader of treasure hunters!!
Yes, truly!!
Yes, seriously!!!
Not sure exactly what they do!!!! Right, back to the palace inhabitants....there's the housekeeper....sweet and a busybody....another treasure hunter and his demented sister....that's just the beginning...oh yes, lest I forget...there's also an OTT Italian policeman that is out to get the beautiful man aka Kayden Wilkens...and no he's not Italian, he's an American living in Italy!
The main character, Ella Ferguson drove me up the bend with her behaviour!!!
I actually questioned why the hero became so so infatuated with someone like her!!!!
What!!!! Does it sound confusing??? Well, I felt something like this by the time I reached half-way thru the story...
I can't explain why I didn't love this story!!! Why it didn't work for me!!! Perhaps I had a problem with the plot........it seemed so far-fetched and unbelievable...and even more so...the characters - I couldn't relate to them.
Now, I'm a sucker for punishment!!! If I wasn't thinking clearly, I would say...no, I am not continuing reading this series...but then...hello, hello......we get to the last page......AND..........
Yes, that cliffhanger........which leaves me wanting to find out what happens next......and who knows...it may be a better book next!!
Here's hoping so!!
PS...These are my personal feelings and I am not saying that it's a horrible book....just that it didn't quite make it for me.
