Not bad, not bad.

Need You Now is just another quick ass novella that I got my hands on. Yes, I am trying to catch up on my reading challenge. Yes, I am kind of sort of cheating by listening to novella audio books. Do I care? Not one bit.

This book was pretty good if I'm being honest. Definitely hooked and want to know what is going to happen next for all of these characters. I just feel like there is something else for Danny and Jensen. At first, I didn't really like Danny. Maybe it was just her character alone but Jensen's character really made her more likable to me. Without him, it just seemed like she left everyone walk all over her - which is a turn off for both friendship/relationship in any person/character.

Thank you Jensen.

This is a short read, but for a novella it was really well written in true Lisa Renee Jones style and I wasn’t disappointed when I finished it. This book gives you a taste her new series Shattered Promises. It was written in great detail and the character development was fantastic.

Jensen and Danny make an unusual pair but there is no denying the chemistry between the two characters. There are times when I find Jensen’s character hard to deal with, he can be a real jerk at times, and I am not sure why Danny puts up with his crap but with a strong attraction like the two of them have it is inevitable. Jensen, whether he realizes it or not uses her insecurities against her to get what he wants even though it may hurt her in the end. Danny is a great gal who is only trying to please everyone, she is loyal and very likeable, smart and sweet. Jensen makes some big mistakes where Danny is concerned and has his work cut out for him in the next book. At the end of the book though I am in their corner rooting for them to make it work.

I am looking forward to reading more about this couple and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. This was only a glimpse and even though it had a HEA at this point there is no telling what obstacles will be thrown in their path to happiness and success. I would recommend this book and Ms Jones did not disappoint, I love her writing style and her books and this one was no different.

giving this a 4 star.
however my scale for erotic/romance/sexy books is not the same for other reads.
I give higher scores for stories that seem more like stories rather than "certain scenes" glued together with weak plots. This was a novella, decently written and an adequate amount of lovey stuff.

Lisa Renee Jones has a knack for weaving together an enigmatic alpha male hero with a plot line that keeps you guessing. For me, that's book nirvana. This was a quick read with a hefty cliffhanger, but I couldn't put it down.

It's an intriguing start to a new series, Shattered Promises. Now I just have to wait patiently for the next book...

I received an ARC copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. (member of Lisa's Underground Angels)

here goes:
this books makes me want to throw away prince charming and chase after the big bad wolf. It's the prelude to a new series Lisa is writing but good lord. it will have you wanting no needing more.

Once again Lisa exceeds my expectations with her writing. This is a must read can't wait for the next book!
