Rebecca’s Lost Journals Volume 2: The Contract by Lisa Renee Jones Review

02/26/2013

16725374-1

Rebecca’s Lost Journals are a brilliant concept. Part of The Inside Out Series (See the entire series order here), the short novellas keep you excited and intrigued while waiting for the second full length novel in the series, Being Me, to release in June. Each one of these novellas are written as journals, and they are the journals that Sara, the main character in If I Were You never found. Rebecca’s Lost Journals 2: The Contract, is the second novella and third installment in the series.

The mystery in If I Were You is “What happened to the woman who wrote the journals? Who was Rebecca’s Master?” No, we still don’t have an answer, but a few more hints are dropped. Personally, I think the crafty Ms. Jones is dropping all these hints to throw us off, but it is fun reading about and trying to figure out anyway.

In this novella, Rebecca is left to mull over the submissive contract she received from “The Master”. As Rebecca goes over each point of the contract, she knows they are all too much for her, but she still can’t stop thinking of Him. She finds herself thrown off balance and not really sure of anything.

“I’ve gone from having virtually no men in my life to being surrounded by powerful, talented, rich, controlling men, and it’s messing with my head. I can’t seem to figure out where I stand and where I belong.”

One thing we do know for sure is Rebecca is involved with someone she has work dealings with.

“You will call me ‘Master’ when we’re alone,” he instructed next…”In public, we remain as we are. What we are beyond that is between us.”…And how am I to separate the times we meet for work with this?

There are a few encounters with the Master, hot scenes that include risk of being caught and menage.

Likes:

  • The author keeps us involved in the story and wanting more.
  • The author drops tons of hints, while giving some crafty misleading clues as well.
  • Little hints are dropped here and there, and while I think we are supposed to be thinking one way, maybe that’s to easy, or maybe she wants us to think it’s too easy? LOL
  • The diary format is a very unique read.

Dislikes:

  • I felt very detached from the totally hot sex scenes. They did nothing for me.
  • The book ends at 74%, where there is another preview of If I Were You.

Rating: 4.5 Stars (for a novella) 4 for Heat

While I normally really don’t love the serial novel concept, I think this idea is brilliant, having little teaser novels between book releases just builds up the excitement more. And as a person who normally doesn’t pay attention to minute details, this series has me reading and re-reading to catch more details.

We know the Master is light, we know they have work relations, we know he is rich…..what do you guys think? I think Lisa Renee Jones is pointing to Mark, but it just seems too obvious. Theories? Ideas? Discuss it here!

    I agree. I thought Mark was the obvious choice. He seemed the kind of man that would share her, to let her know who was in charge. I REALLY don’t want it to be Chris. That would mean he lied in If I Were You! Can’t have him lying, I like him too much. I guess it’s possible it Ricco, she is working very hard to impress him and doesn’t want to disappoint him when she doesn’t sell his painting at the private showing. Maybe more answers will be revealed in the next journal entry, maybe not. I do know that I love these books!!

    I love this series … The Contract was too short so we only had a few clues. We know he is “light” from Rebecca’s threesome comment… “another man…tall, gorgeous and dark where my ‘Master’ was light, wearing jeans and t-shirt. Mark and Chris are blond -Chris wears jeans all the time. Its not Ricco Alvarez, he is has a “hispanic heritage” (dark). I hope its not Chris!

I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a differe I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a different genre and completely nail it. I love how The Girl In The Woods is different from all of her other books, yet still has that Kristen Ashley feel. I loved how Kristen surprised me and didn’t follow the expected formula.
The town of Misted Pines is a bit crazy, but let me tell you, if there is another dead resident, I’ll be gobbling up that story as well. I don’t wish anyone dead but…..

Sometimes a book that works for everyone else just Sometimes a book that works for everyone else just doesn’t hit me right. I had really high hopes for this book about a marriage in trouble, especially because I really like the author. Sadly, it just didn’t work for me.

I love the unique storyline of this debut solo nov I love the unique storyline of this debut solo novel from Joe Arden, and I especially love when the narrator narrates their own book and I love male POV books written by an actual male! I had a few issues (which you’ll see in the review), but overall I really enjoyed this one, and it is staying in my memory because it was different.

Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you shou Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you should check out Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot. I loved being behind-the-scenes at a cooking reality show! There is a romance, but it’s way more about the exciting cooking show. The heroine is Jewish and there is a very diverse cast.

I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and it was taking me forever to read, then the audiobook released and I switched over at about 60%. That’s when the book really picked up for me. The new season of Drive to Survive starts on #netflix next week and #formula1 starts the week after. I’m so excited for the new season! I am hoping that more of this series releases on audio soon because I love being in the #F1 world.

Another book I really wanted to love, but it was j Another book I really wanted to love, but it was just OK for me. I did love the heroine’s business of awesome salads in a cup! A Guide to Being Just Friends by Sophie Sullivan was not labeled as book 3 in a series, and it was. Though it was able to stand alone, I think I missed a connection because I didn’t read the first two.
