•••••••••
REVIEW: DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND: TWO YEARS LATER is the seventh instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult DIRTY RICH erotic, romance series interconnected with the author’s Walker Security and the Tall, Dark and Deadly series. This is successful and prominent attorney Reese Summer, and attorney/writer/columnist Cat Maxwell-Summers’ continuing story. DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND: TWO YEARS LATER should not be read as a stand alone. The author recommends having read DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND (Dirty Rich #1) before venturing into our current time line.
Told from dual first person points of view (Cat and Reese) DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND: TWO YEARS LATER advances Cat and Reese’s story line – two years. Cat and Reese have settled into marital bliss but Reese’s defence of a young woman charged with the murder of her father comes with questionable doubt, and the possibility of more than meets the eye. A past dalliance threatens Reese and Cat’s stable relationship when betrayal and intimidation tactics force Reese to call in tighter security, as Cat calls in the bigger guns. What ensues is the search for the truth as Reese’s trial begins to spiral out of control; the hunt for the person ultimately responsible for the threats against our story line couple; and Cat’s need to keep secret a surprise for Reese’s upcoming birthday.
DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND: TWO YEARS LATER is a sexy, sassy and sultry story line; an erotic tale as one couple must navigate a world that now threatens their relationship, and potentially changes the dynamics of their continuing love. We welcome the return of Cat’s brothers and fellow attorneys Reid and Gabe Maxwell, as well as Royce and Lauren Walker, and Walker Brother security specialist Savage. We are introduced to defendant Dana Warren, and her boyfriend Reginald Hicks, as well as prosecuting attorney Milton Wicker. The requisite evil has many faces.
DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND: TWO YEARS LATER is an engrossing, intriguing and character driven story line. The premise is impassioned; the characters are spirited; the romance is moving, provocative and tender.

“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.
