I always get a bit excited when one of my favorite authors has a new book released. Today is one of those days!
I have been reading Jones’ books for many years now and still love cracking open a new story! This one is a spin-off from another series and you can read it as a stand-alone. If you want the full background of Tyler, then read The Necklace Trilogy.
Continue on for my full review of this new release.

Bastard Boss by Lisa Renee Jones
ISBN-13: 9798364343468
Publisher: Amazon Digital Services LLC – Kdp
Publication date: November 2022
OVERVIEW:
A sexy, dirty talking alpha. The beautiful, sweet, and fiery Bella. Her boss. A contract that forces him to marry. An arrangement that will change them forever. Meet Tyler Hawk…
Tyler Hawk is a man with secrets and a dark past. A man who has known tragedy and betrayal. He wants for little, but what he wants is more power, a legacy that is his own, and not his father’s. There are obstacles in his way, one of which is the scandal his father left behind and a will with certain demands.
Behind the scenes, he is a man on the edge, and only one woman sees the truth hidden beneath his strong will and dominant rule. Bella is somehow demanding and submissive, fiery and yet sweet. She can give him everything he wants, she just doesn’t know it, not yet, but she will. If she’ll just say yes and sign on the dotted line.
Book one in the Tyler & Bella Duet
Bastard Boss by Lisa Renee Jones Review
If there is one thing I love in my books it is a bad-boy billionaire and Tyler is the perfect candidate! Talk about a yummy character! This book felt like one long foreplay session!
He is hot for Bella and she is on fire for him. Together, sparks fly! However, all is not well in the land of Tyler Hawk and there is a definite line between friends and business associates. The line is drawn in the sand and surprise! We get to wait until book two to see how far these two can go.
Jones crafts a powerful story loaded with innuendo, steam, and straight-up lust. She brings on sizzling scenes that will make you sweat and keeps us on the hook once again as we wait for the next book to drop!
One thing of note is that while this can be read as a stand-alone, I feel there were certain areas that left me wondering about the prior books and connections built there. I felt like there was missing information that could have been developed a bit more for us in this story.
For me, Tyler is a fabulous character and these two are fire! Yesss!
