What can I say about this book? I've been waiting a long time for Jaime Lynn and Jesse's story and it did not disappoint. Both of them are dealing with a lot of baggage and are hesitant when it comes to relationships. When they finally do give in a misunderstanding happens and we are back to square one. Once that issue is resolved we finally get we've all been waiting for since "Widower's Aura".
This story dealt with grief and abandonment issues and it hit home to me in several ways. At times I had to stop reading and compose myself as it brought up memories of my childhood. I love how each couple in this series are characters that you can connect and relate to while reading. Another plus about this story was that it's an interracial romance. I loved the diversity and so happy the author went this route. Everyone deserves love no matter the color of your skin is or the color of the person skin you fall in love with. The couple did face challenges and I liked the way the author wrote about it in this book.
Renee's writing has only gotten stronger since her debut novel and I'm always eager to read a new book by her in this series. Renee has a way of writing characters that you can relate and connect with and when you read it feels like you are part of the story. I can't wait for Rocco's book as he is another interesting character in this series!

By AJ Renee
5/5 Stars
I have read all three books in this series, and they all are wonderful!! This is an incredible series full of lots of love and laughter. Sometimes , the friends you have turn into all the family you'll ever need!
AJ Renee out did herself with this book! It made me laugh AND cry from beginning to end. It is definitely a page turner, you will not be able to put this book down! You'll want to read it in one sitting, needing to know what happens!!
Jamie Lynn is a smart, beautiful and feisty thirty-seven year old woman. She has two lovely best friends, Sofia and Arianna. Even a younger sister, Charlotte Mae, who she considers a best friend. But one thing is missing, love…
She has built these huge walls around her, protecting her fragile heart. She has believed her whole life, starting at a very young age… that everyone she loves, leaves. She has always felt she isn't good enough and wonders daily, what's wrong with her.
She owns and runs the local Pub, Whiskey’s in St. Fleur. She has a lot of regulars and newbies, going through town often. She has built this no nonsense kind of reputation.
When she puts an ad in the newspaper for a bartender. Jesse Slade, new to the town, applies. He gets the job and their attraction to one another is instant. They try their hardest to keep their relationship strictly job related. But they can't, they feel something… something that neither one has ever experienced before.
But someone from Jesse’s past ,returns. Will it tear Jesse and Jamie Lynn apart? Or will it bring them closer together?? Will they both get the happily ever after they both desire so much??
You must read this book to see what happens with Jesse and Jamie Lynn. It's a phenomenal love story, one you won't soon forget!! Another amazing job, AJ Renee!!

Book Review: Duplicity (A St. Fleur Series Novel Book #3)
Author: AJ Renee
FIVE STARS
Duplicity has its moments where you just think NO they are not going to ever make this work, and then Jesse just takes matters into his own hands and just finally gets everything out into the open and makes Jamie Lynn tell him what has happened to make her push him into the friend zone for the last 2 years. When he learns what has happend, Jesse decides he needs to finally open up about what happened in his past, he needs to let Jamie Lynn know who he is and why he is in St. Fleur.
Jamie Lynn is used to people leaving. Her father walked away when she was six, her step father left them, her mother died when she was 18. Now she has guarded herself so much that she doesn't know if she will ever be able to open herself up to anyone let alone the sexy man that she just hired to be a bar tender in her own pub. Jamie Lynn is all tied up in emotions and feelings where Jesse is concerned but when she saw him with another woman that pretty much wrapped it up that she would not let herself be with him because she would NOT share.
Now that the truth has come out, will there be a chance for them to try to explore the feelings they have for one another or is there another girl in the picture that will cause them to be ripped apart even before things can get going?
AJ Renee writes a very insipiring love story here and deals with some pretty tough subjects but it is very well written. I have read this entire series now and I am in love with her Alpha male subjects and her strong female leads. The way they all come together and just meld it is pretty awesome to read.
This series should be read by mature audiences only 18+ as there are some very steamy sexual occurances. I cannot wait to see what AJ does in the next book.
I really enjoy reading AJ Renee's books and hope that you do too!!

Duplicity by A.J. Renee is the third book in the St. Fleur series. This can be read as a standalone book but I rather enjoyed it more because I had seen the main characters as minor characters in the first two books in the series. This story focuses on Jaime Lynn and Jessie. Jaime Lynn has a negative view of men in general. She thinks they are great but believes that she cannot count on one to stick around for any length of time. Jesse is from New Orleans and is new to St. Fleur. He is only wanting a little bit of peace after leaving his hometown. The two of them start off on the wrong foot due to a misunderstanding. Once the misunderstanding is resolved all bets are off. Can the two of them learn to trust and love again?
Jaime Lynn is great. She is a friend, a sister, and owns her own business. She is strong but also has some flaws. For her she has a hard time trusting people but especially men. Jesse is strong and handsome. He knows that he wants Jaime Lynn in his life but has his own issues he needs to come to terms with. Also, he has a difficult task of getting around Jaime Lynn’s walls. The two of them are strong and passionate. In the other books, there were hints of this blossoming relationship but it had always hit a wall. Now we get to enjoy the story and relationship of two great characters.

Duplicity is the third book in the St Fleur series by A J Renee and again is another fantastic read from this author. Having read and loved the first two books in the series I would highly recommend that they are read in order just so you can understand the dynamics of this group of friends. I was really looking forward to reading this book because Jamie Lynn and Jesse have always been in the background of the first two books and even as secondary characters the tension and chemistry between them was quite apparent. I couldn’t wait to find out just what was going on with them and I have to admit I wasn’t expecting their story to be so emotional. I had always liked Jamie Lynn and her feisty ways, she is a really good friend to both Sofia and Lindsey (who still feature in this book). I loved that she was a strong, independent business woman who knew her own mind. Despite her own past she frequently shows in the story that she has survived the best she can. I loved the relationship she had with her sister and friends. The character in this story that I wasn’t quite prepared for was Jesse. I think it’s fair to say he stole my heart quite quickly! I was just so heartbroken for him as he started to reveal and open up about his past. I liked that the story was told in both the past and the present so we could get a real clear picture of Jamie Lynn and Jesse’s relationship and how (especially Jamie Lynn) they had fought their attraction to each other for so long. There were a few pretty sensitive subjects talked about in the book but the author does an amazing job of addressing these and writing about them sensitively. I loved how both Jamie Lynn and Jesse were able to heal each other and take a chance on a relationship.
This is, yet again, another beautifully written story from A. J. Renee and I am definitely looking forward to reading more from her in the future.

Duplicity (A St Fleur Novel Book 3). AJ Renee
Rated 5 stars
This start started off with a bang. It was like reading a firecracker book. This drew me in and I struggled to put the book down. I was wary of Jamie Lynn and Jesses relationship or non relationship I read about in the last two books. I wasn't sure it would be exciting enough. It is not only exciting but extremely hot. They both feel something for the other but Jamie Lynn refuses to give them a chance. It doesn't stop Jesse from acting and wishing she was his though.
Jesse is an enigma to us until this book is read. He always seemed to be into Jamie Lynn but that was all we ever knew about him. Let me tell you....there is so much more to him! Jamie Lynn is friends with Sofia and Lindsey but we still didn't know much about her other than she owns the bar with her sister. All that changes in this book! Jamie Lynn seems like a strong female on top but underneath she has a few issues that come between her and Jesse.
I think this relationship was shocking to a few people but most in the town were just waiting to see when it would happen. And if anyone else would risk their life asking Jamie Lynn out while Jesse was around. Poor Andrew!
We get to meet back up the all the previous characters we fell in love with from the last two books. Sofia and Noah with Lexi and Jackson are seeing the struggles of pregnancy and teen dating along with Noah running for sheriff. In Lindsey and Marc we still see his possessiveness in all things Lindsey. It's great to see how everyone is doing and moving forward in their lives.

Duplicity (St. Fleur Novel Book 3) by AJ Renee is the third book in her St. Fleur series. I story can be read as a stand alone but I highly recommend that you read the previous two books in this series. They will give you additional information on these characters that make the story flow better for you. One of the things I enjoy about this author is how she can create a story that pulls you in from the first word. You will enjoy her creativity of characters and her ability to introduce new characters without the awkwardness. These characters will take you on a roller coast ride of various emotions from compassion to hot sexy romance. This story is about two people who let their past dictate what their future could be. Find out what happens with these characters, will they let go of their pasts to see a future with each other?
Jamie Lynn has lived with the thought that everyone leaves for most of her life. She has rooted herself to St. Fleur with opening up a pub, questioning the only attitude she has even known. When she is in search of a new bartender, she meets him. She decides to hire him despite knowing it may be a bad decision on her part. What will happen when she gives in to their attraction? Will she give this relationship a chance before she shuts it down? What will she do when she is reminded that not everyone gets a happily ever after?
Jesse is in search of some solace when he decided to leave everything he has ever known including he memories that haunt him. Then he meets her. Will she be his light to his darkness? Will she bring back his hopes and dreams? When the truth comes out, will he convince her to give their relationship a try? When he is offered a gift that he has always wanted, what will he do?
Jamie Lynn and Jesse's relationship is one of attraction from first site but also it is a boss, employee relationship. They have been fighting their attraction for each other for a few years. She is not willing to get her heart broke and lose a good employee. He doesn't know why she is fighting the attraction. Will he convince her to give them another try? These are two strong characters both together and separately. She has a fear of everyone leaving her and getting hurt. He is just broken from his past. Will they learn that they just need to let go of the past to move forward? They complement each other and will plain just make you laugh with their banter. The secondary characters will also make you laugh and help keep the story flowing. You will enjoy seeing what happened to them after seeing them in the previous stories. They are supportive to the two main characters. Jamie Lynn never realized that when Jessie walked through her pub door that her life will change forever. Will they find the HEA?
This series by AJ Renee is one of my favorite. The stories keep you engaged and keep you turning pages. I enjoy her writing style, it makes it easier to read. AJ is a military wife and mother to three children. She has lived in Florida where she got her Master in Science in Criminal Justice and Bachelors of Science of Psychology. She never expected to find herself writing verses what she went to school for. When she is not shuttling her children around, you will find her at her laptop creating. This is a fast paced story that I read in one sitting because I had a hard time putting it down. You enjoy how the characters will pop right off the page and into your heart. They will leave you wanting more with every page you turn. I highly recommend this book as I know you will want to see what happens with these characters as they start a journey of healing together.

Duplicity is the first story that I have read by AJ Renee. It is the third book in the St. Fleur series but can be read as a standalone. There are references to their friends, whose stories must be told in Widower’s Aura, book one and Always Mine, book two. After reading this book I plan on getting the first two right away!
I loved how this author included race as a characteristic of the people throughout the story but didn’t use it as a major reason for everything that happened to them. I also loved that the characters didn’t freak out when another person, male or female, talked to their boyfriend/girlfriend. No crazy reactions to their jealous feelings, yes they were unhappy and they made it clear that they were together but no crazy reactions. I loved that some words were used meaning one thing but able to be used as something else. For example; the title itself has more than one meaning in this story. Of course I won’t be telling you what exactly those meanings are so go ahead and one click it for yourself!
Jaime Lynn Walker is a grown woman crushed by her father and men in general. Jesse Slade is a grown man crushed by the death of his fiancé. Both have given up on the idea of a happily ever after until they set eyes on each other. But what kind of story would this be if they met, fell in love and lived happily ever after? A plot twist was certainly needed to add a little drama and to cause a little…well a lot of sexual tension for Jaime Lynn and Jesse. Reading about their time together and their ability to love was worth it.
I am recommending you take a chance on AJ Renee and Duplicity and if this story is any indication about the rest of the series, I will be recommending the series as well.

Duplicity is the third book in the St. Fleur series by A.J Renee.
We have met these characters in the previous books, Jamie Lynn Walker is Lindsay and Sophia’s friend and the owner of ‘Whiskey’s’ bar. She is a little guarded when it comes to her heart; as she firmly believes that everyone she loves will eventually leave. In her thirty seven years she has experienced quite a lot of heartache and was left to raise her little sister after her mother passed away.
Jesse Slade was so haunted by the memories that surrounded him in his home town of New Orleans that he moved to St. Fleur in an attempt start over and to find a little peace. That was three years ago when he applied for the bar tending position and has been Jaime’s right hand man ever since. There was always a connection and spark between the two, at one point they looked like they were taking it to the next level, but due to secrets and misunderstandings, it never got to progress between them. Jesse is still very interested and has come to a point where he is determined to find a way. Will they get their chance to explore the connection between them? When everything is revealed, will they move forward together, or will it be over between them, forever?
This is a really sweet story that will hold you attention from beginning to end. Another wonderful addition to this beautiful series and I can’t wait to see what Ms. Renee does next.
Thank you Ms. Renee!

I could say that this was my favorite of the three books in this series so far, but it would not be true...each one of the books in this series is my favorite, lol I just simply adore everything about each one. This one was special because these two people, Jaime Lynn and Jesse have been in each of the first two, and I couldn't wait to read their stories and why they were the way they were and why they did the things they did.
Jaime Lynn owns Whiskey’s, a pub in St. Fleur, a place where everyone that's anyone goes to in town. She has the best friends, a fantastic supportive sister that she pretty much raised after their mom died in a horrible accident and is pretty much loved by everyone. She is haunted by a past that she hasn't shared with anyone and stays away from any kind of relationships or thoughts of ever having a family of her own. She can't because she knows and lives by the fact that “everyone leaves”.
Jesse was hired by Jamie Lynn to be the bartender at Whiskey’s, he is also haunted by a tragic past, a past in New Orleans, that he just had to escape from if even for just a little while.
Jesse and Jaime Lynn were attracted to each other from the first moment they met. He came in for an interview and Jaime Lynn knew she shouldn't hire him, how in the world would she work with this man that made her body and mind feel the way he did. She took a chance and hired him anyway. Their attraction leads them to take a chance and see if there was anything real between them. That was two years ago, two years since she was going to meet him for their first date and he proved what she always believed, he was a liar and no matter what anyone says..they always leave.
For 2 years he has worked side by side with this infuriating woman, and he still doesn't know what he did wrong, but he can't help how he feels, and he wants her no matter what. When the truth finally comes out bringing the secrets of his past with it these two finally decide to give it another shot. Will their pasts allow them to be together or tear them apart for good? When he receives a letter from his past and it's everything he always wanted, can he have it all or will he just prove Jaime Lynn’s mantra of “everyone leaves” to be true?
Thank you AJ Renee for another awesome story, I can not wait for the next in this series, I will be one clicking the minute it's available.I guess you could read this as a standalone, but I would not recommend it, to appreciate these two characters and of course the other characters in this book you really have to read them in order...

He came in for an interview and Jaime Lynn knew she shouldn't hire him, how in the world would she work with this man that made her body and mind feel the way he did. She took a chance and hired him anyway. Their attraction leads them to take a chance and see if there was anything real between them. That was two years ago, two years since she was going to meet him for their first date and he proved what she always believed, he was a liar and no matter what anyone says..they always leave.
For 2 years he has worked side by side with this infuriating woman, and he still doesn't know what he did wrong, but he can't help how he feels, and he wants her no matter what. When the truth finally comes out bringing the secrets of his past with it these two finally decide to give it another shot. Will their pasts allow them to be together or tear them apart for good? When he receives a letter from his past and it's everything he always wanted, can he have it all or will he just prove Jaime Lynn’s mantra of “everyone leaves” to be true?
