It's been ages since I last read a Lisa Renee Jones story. That wasn't part of the Lilah Love series. So, I was super excited to get my hands on an early copy of Protege King.

An enthralling and sexy story featuring the mysterious Damion West. Who is billed as the protege to his father. A ruthless businessman. A corporate raider. Who will do anything and walk over anyone to get what he wants.

But Damion claims he is different and is ready to dethrone his father. But to do that he needs the one woman he knows he should stay far away from. His weakness Alana Blue.

Who grew up next door to him in New Jersey and claimed she was going to marry him when she was seven years old.

Yet, she soon learns Damion isn't the boy for her and by her early twenties, she had been burned enough times to know he isn't worth it.

But thanks to Alana's dad, her family is deeply entangled with the Wests and when Damion reappears Alana really can't say no to him.

Yet, with so many secrets between them. Not to mention a lot of bad history. Can the pair really survive and get a happy ending or will Damion's father strike a final blow?

And with a cliffhanger ending, plenty of tension, chemistry and intrigue. This was a cracking start to a new series, and I can't wait for Scorned Queen to find out what happens next.

My thanks to Lisa Renee Jones and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the opportunity to read an early copy of Protege King. 😊
