It has been a while since I read a LRJ book so I am thrilled to be able to read the first book in a new series by her. It is in my favorite genre, billionaire romance. It is a diversion from her other series in romantic suspense that I have reviewed and shared on this site.

Here are my thoughts on this upcoming publication.

My Enemy, My Obsession by Lisa Renee Jones
Series: Dalton Family #1
ASIN: ‎ B0D9B55P68
Publisher: ‎ Julie Patra Publishing (October 17, 2024)
Publication date: ‎ October 17, 2024

SYNOPSIS:
I have plenty of reasons to dislike the hard-edged, ridiculously good-looking, arrogant Ethan Dalton, who did my father wrong, and I’d do anything for the chance to tell the billionaire that and more to his face. So when I’m selected to attend Moore’s Department Stores annual conference in Hawaii, with an invitation to submit my designs for their new fall line, the last person I expect to come toe-to-toe with is Ethan himself. I had no idea he was on the board, and despite the fact that he won’t know who I am, I’m in avoidance mode, and failing. I end up sitting several feet away from him, spellbound by how ridiculously hot he is, for an arrogant jerk, when he feels my stare, and I end up locked in his. I’m officially busted, the amusement in his eyes, is somehow charming, rather than infuriating, but when I have the chance to meet him, I run for the hills.

But not for long.

The next thing I know, he’s standing in front of me, in another chance encounter that becomes oh so intimate, and when he thinks my name is well, not my name, I don’t correct him. Because once he knows who I am, we’re at war. And what happens that night is anything but war. It’s the most intense, incredible night of my life, but come morning, I do the only thing I can do. I sneak out before he figures out who I am. Besides, I’m saving myself an awkward goodbye.

Only running from the gorgeous, intense billionaire never seems to work, and I fail miserably again.

It’s not long before our paths and my future collide, and my little bedtime lie is not so little anymore and threatens all that I love. And the only way to save myself is to get down on my hands and knees and beg a man my father once called the devil himself.

Book one in the Dalton Family Trilogy

My Enemy, My Obsession by Lisa Renee Jones Review

Sorry, but I have to start with the fact this is a weird ARC eBook setup! The text background is dark gray with light gray text which was so hard on my eyes. My default font comes out as italics on my Kindle so I had to change the font to try and find one that might work. It made it tough for me to power-read through this one, making me sad.

The book itself was a great read. I really loved the male main character (MMC). He was sweet and kind most of the time, and I loved how they interacted. Let me tell you, this book is steamy throughout most of the story.

The female main character was great as well, until she did the thing I hate the most in the book, she lied and ran. Ugh. I get it. It helped the story flow and developed the fire, passion, and a bit of angst. Jones is great at building that fire and passion, trust me. I have devoured so many of her books.

My Enemy, My Obsession is a great story until the author decided to throw in the ridiculous ending she went with on a cliffhanger, of course.

Regardless, my favorite part of this story is Ethan. He is actually awesome and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.

4 STARS!!!
