I’m just so addicted to her characters. I love how they weave together. Great wrap up for Grayson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This story was written with true heart. At the end of the first book we end on a big cliffhanger. This book picks up right where it left off.

It was refreshing to read a story that is full of love and that deep connection when two people are perfect for each other. Jones writes highly detailed Romance that just makes you sigh.

Even though the story still has that suspense and drama, the focus is more on Mia and Grayson’s new found love and life connection.

Rich with honesty, adoration, reality, and of course, that steamy level of sex that Jones writes so perfectly, this book is a fabulous conclusion to the series. I found myself smiling so much while reading the story.

If you haven’t had a chance to read Grayson’s story, you’ve got to grab this one. But please read them in order so you get the full effect.

Even with this being a romantic suspense, this is very much a fairy tale love story. I adore when a couple is this in love. It's exactly what I want to read. I like it when the conflict is outside the couple and you get to see how that couple handles everything together. Grayson is such a good guy in every way. I wish there were more heroes like him. This is a second book in a duet, so you will need to read the first book to get their beginning. You will also find Grayson and Mia mentioned as side characters in some of the other Dirty Rich books. The author has created this world with all these wonderful characters to allow us to get to know each of them better, but you don't have to read them all if you don't want to. It's a great series and I highly recommend it!

DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL: LOVE ME FOREVER the eleventh instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult DIRTY RICH romantic, suspense series, and the second instalment in thirty-eight year old, billionaire businessman and attorney Grayson Bennett, and thirty-year old, criminal lawyer Mia Cavanaugh’s story line. DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL: LOVE ME FOREVER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL (Dirty Rich #4) for back story and cohesion but the author has generously recapped the previous events leading to the current timeline. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. As per most of Lisa’s series, there is a slight cross-over with inclusion of some of the characters from the author’s Walker Security series, Eric Mitchell (The Filthy Trilogy), Grayson Bennetts best friend, as well as Reese Summer and Cat Maxwell (Dirty Rich #1).


Told from three first person perspectives (Mia, Grayson and Eric) using present day and memories from the past, DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL: LOVE ME FOREVER picks shortly after the events of Dirty Rich Betrayal (Dirty Rich #4) wherein Mia and Grayson have reunited following a year forced apart by betrayal and revenge but with their reunion, the threats continue until someone dies placing Mia and Grayson in the direct line of fire. The group known as The Dungeon is determined to destroy Grayson Bennett, using the woman he loves in the process. With the help of Blake Walker and Walker Security, as well as Graysons best friend Eric Mitchell, the team uncover the truth behind the attempts on their personal security and private lives. As Grayson battles between head and heart as it pertains to the safety of the woman he loves, Mia must come to terms with an upcoming case, a case where the odds are quickly stacking against Mia, and the woman she is about to defend.


DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL: LOVE ME FOREVER is a story of betrayal, vengeance, retribution and love; a story of revelations and acceptance. The fast paced premise is engaging, captivating and intriguing but the final conflict resolutions were too easy-too neat and clean; the romance is passionate and seductive; the characters are colorful, strong and intense. LOVE ME FOREVER is a dramatic story of second chances and happily ever after.

I cried. I seriously cried at the end of this book. My heart was so full of the love that Grayson and Mia had for each other that the tears just started. I was in love with and my heart hurt for Grayon Bennett in Dirty Rich Betrayal and he proved that the love I had for him wasn’t in vain. What that man will do for love and to protect the woman he loves is unbelievable. And to see the way Mia finally goes all-in with Grayson .. it was beautiful.

Love Me Forever had a fairy-tale ending that was absolutely heart-warming, loving and special. They had to work to get there but it was all worth it. They had to fight known and unknown enemies and found that apart, they could probably take them down but together they could destroy them. It was interesting watching them earn the trust back, find their footing again with each other and realize just how much they meant to each other. All the characters, from Blake to Reese to Eric to Delaney, played such a vital part in bringing these two their happily-ever-after and I enjoyed every one of them. Eric is special and sincerely deserves an HEA … he’s loyal, passionate and, even though he doesn’t show it, a loving and caring man. And, so does Delaney. She’s been through enough and needs to find a man that will appreciate the woman she is.

Do I want more of Grayson and Mia … absolutely. This may be their swan song but, I am sure we will see them again. Lisa Renee Jones will mention them, will bring them into another story just when we least expect it. And, that’s what I love about her stories. All the characters are all like old friends that come for a visit every now and then and we are thrilled when they do.

Dirty Rich Betrayal: Love Me Forever was wonderful. It was emotional and sexy. Fast-paced but detailed. Dramatic and sexy. I was filled with anticipation waiting for Grayson and Mia and so very excited to see how they would fight for the love that they had, beat the enemy and come out stronger than they ever were.

❤~🌟~❤ 4.5 FOREVER STARS! ❤~🌟~❤

“You’re home, Mia, and that home is with me. Forever.”

Break out the champagne and get ready for some nail-biting suspense because Grayson and Mia are baaaaack in DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL: LOVE ME FOREVER! This final book in their high octane, swooningly romantic duet had me shivering in excitement, blinking back tears and basking in pure and utter ecstasy!

THE PREMISE:
This second installment picks up right after the conclusion of book one, with Grayson Bennett and his truelove Mia Cavanaugh having finally found their way back together after an agonizing year apart. But even though they are now engaged and planning the wedding of their dreams, the gloriously alpha billionaire and his breathtakingly beautiful criminal defense lawyer fiancé are not quite out of danger yet. They thought all the betrayal and treachery and subterfuge were behind them but as it turns out they have some loose ends to tie up. Their enemies are still at bay and now they find themselves once gain in the crosshairs of a lethal conspiracy. A nefarious group called The Dungeon has targeted Grayson’s company but he is not about to let them ruin him and he will do whatever it takes to keep his beloved Mia from becoming collateral damage! Which means he will call in all the necessary reinforcements—including Walker Security and Grayson’s best bud-- brilliant ex-Navy Seal Eric Mitchell-- to get to the bottom of the threats on their lives. Will Mia and Grayson walk down the aisle unscathed or will their happily ever after come at the ULTIMATE cost?

MY MUSINGS:
DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL: LOVE ME FOREVER was absolutely phenomenal! It stole my breath, left me on pins and needles and gave me all the feels! I absolutely love this Dirty Rich world that Lisa Renee Jones has concocted and the interlapping characters and storylines are beyond fab!

This fast paced, second chance story about love, vengeance, vindication and sweet salvation was full throttle from start to finish! It captivated my heart, drenched my panties and made me a true believer in the power of a love that could NOT be contained! Relayed in dual first person POV, the author brilliantly juxtaposes flashbacks from the past to infuse rich, vibrant history into the present story.

LRJ’s hot-blooded, high-powered alphas are to die for—strong, protective, possessive, and more than a tad territorial—but they are always paired with strong, smart courageous women who refuse to stay in the background while their men fight their battles… And such is the case with Grayson and Mia. Sighhh Grayson is “the definition of power and masculine perfection” and he possess a quiet brooding intensity that made my pulse race! As for Mia, I love her transformation between the two books. She is still reeling from the trauma she endured at Ri’s hands at the end of book one, and is combatting some residual guilt and regret from once believing the worst in Grayson which she feels has led to his company now being under attack. But she is determined to be worthy of this amazing man’s unconditional love and devotion, and I truly can say she proves to be his perfect match in every way. These two characters are beautifully flawed and even a little bit broken due to their collective family losses but they always have each other’s backs and are determined to triumph over every obstacle…or die trying.

Mia and Grayson’s combustible chemistry is ALL-CONSUMING and I was engrossed in their romance from start to finish! The fierce love and soul deep connection that we felt between them in the first installment is magnified threefold in this book as they face more unexpected adversity. However, unlike in DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL, their relationship is on solid ground and the level of trust and faith that these two have in each other is spellbinding. Yet their journey is far from over and I relish how they continue to grow and evolve together as they bask in the excitement of their upcoming nuptials. The erotic interludes between this newly engaged couple are seductive, steamy, scintillating and tinged with feverish emotion so prepare to be ENRAPTURED!

However, while Grayson and Mia’s love is unstoppable that does not mean that there is not a fair amount of strife as they deal with a hornet’s nest of emotions while trying to combat all the danger and tumult swirling around them. The stakes have never been higher but the peril that this deeply in love duo find themselves in truly intensifies their commitment to each other in unfathomable ways!

LRJ is a master of intertwining romance and intrigue and once again I was left on tether hooks throughout, anxious to find out what would happen next as Grayson and his inner circle try to figure out how deep the Dungeon, a nefarious underground operation, has infiltrated his company and how grave a risk they pose. Meanwhile to add an even more fascinating layers to the suspense plot, Mia is embroiled in a high-profile murder case with secret agendas at play which brings top notch criminal defense attorney Reese Summer into the fold. Seeing these dynamic characters interact with each other was beyond thrilling!

BOTTOM LINE:
Ultimately, this hyper romantic, emotionally intense, highly suspenseful story is another topnotch installment in the Dirty Rich Series and I couldn’t have dreamed up a more spellbinding denouement to the Grayson/Mia saga!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is it, Mia and Grayson's journey is coming to its head, and they're about to have everything they've ever wanted - love, happiness, contentment. But first they'll have to root out all those loose ends Ri left lying around, figure out exactly who Ri had recruited in his drive to take Grayson down. Have no fear, though, because the Walker team is on site, as well as Eric (yay Eric!! I love this smart af former SEAL!!) to help Mia and Grayson get to their happily ever after.



Wow, this conclusion is intense! So much happens, so much suspense and intrigue, and through it all Mia and Grayson's love is solid, in fact, grows even stronger and becomes more stable. That's what I loved most about this part - that they grow together, more secure in each other and their love. I think Mia does the most growth and it really made me appreciate her a lot more than I did in the first part of their story. Grayson is his alpha self, but more in love and with the perfect partner, the one who understands him best, his controlling nature, his distrusting nature, and why he is the way he is, and she doesn't run from him or judge him any longer, just loves him. And that is the sign of a relationship that will stand the test of time - loving without judgment or running away when things are tough. Altogether an immensely satisfying conclusion for this couple.

Engaging and thrilling. I was so excited to read more about Mia and Grayson. Their story was one of my favourites from this author because it was unique and so romantic. The first book owned me. I cannot resist a second chance for an engaged couple who had been torn apart by lies and then found their way back to each other through fire and danger.

This second book sets off right after the explosive events the characters had to endure. It is a read filled with turbulent emotions and lurking threats. This couple is back to their engagement, but they still have to rescue a battered trust and a past in rags.

I really loved those scenes from how their life used to be, sheding light onto the present and how it is affected. The whole novel is a journey of repairing feelings and trust in very honest and romantic ways. The level of love here is epic, the sweet and profound gestures are swoony.

On the other hand, the relationship is contending against the consequences of their enemy's actions, quite alive in Grayson's company. Help comes in the form of amazing investigation and hacking and connections. I loved seeing the men from Walker Security get in on the action, and also characters from other books such as Eric and Reese and Cat. It felt like being surrounded by friends. Highly intelligent, skilled, ruthlessly loyal friends :-D

It's always a pleasure to immerse myself in the legal suspense plots the author crafts for her clever characters. I enjoy those as much as the passionate, arousing scenes. Some of my favourite parts were Mia's legal case, and an intense situation with savant Eric.

In this book, Grayson craves control to protect Mia and she finally understands that she can love a worthy man by understanding she is worthy herself. Beautiful.

I love a happy ending! 4 stars

I love a happy ending, but I will backtrack! This book picks up after their first book, Dirty Rich Betrayal, so you must read that first. There are repercussions that need to be dealt with after what happened at the end of book one, so the happy ending does not happen right away. Both Mia and Grayson still have issues between them, but they work through them here. Plus there is an intensity in making sure that the repercussions from the first book are cleaned up that left me reading as fast as I could. Mia understands Grayson’s need to control and his darker side that comes out at times, and I loved that about her. She is also smart, fierce and stands up for what is right. Grayson is loyal to those to closest to him, and I admired that about him. Mia and Grayson share an unbreakable bond after everything they went through; they are everything to each other. When I finally read their happy ending, I had a smile on face and happy tears in my eyes. I loved and enjoyed being back in this Dirty Rich world, so I highly recommend this series!

Love Me Forever by Lisa Renee Jones is Mia and Grayson duet book two; book 11 in the Dirty Rich Series. LMF continues the story of Mia and Grayson who we met in book 4 called Dirty Rich Betrayal which was also book 1 in the duet. I recommend reading book 1 before reading book 2 because it will help if you understand characters and such.
Now book 2 picks up where book 1 left off. Grayson and Mia are back together but before they can truly celebrate that fact, they are back at war- left to bring back the tattered trust , fight against the twisted consequences left from their enemy and pray that they still have a future before them. Danger isn't too far from Mia and Grayson. Did Mia and Grayson celebrate 🍾 things too soon? Will this mean certain death?
I loved watching Grayson and Mia’s love and devotion shine through. Their connection and chemistry was popping and sizzling thru the pages. The suspense, intrigue, action and drama was fantastic. I was on the edge on my seat. Plus, loved catching up with Grayson and Mia along with getting more from Cat and Reese as well as the Walker brothers and their team. Amazing!!!

Mia and Grayson are perfect for each other and they knew it from the moment they met. Well, Grayson knew it but Mia was scared to be dating the boss. Now it has been a year since they split up and Mia needs to warn Grayson. There are people out to take him down, they are jealous of his success and his power.
With the help of Walker Security, I love how these books are tied together, can they figure out who is after Grayson and why? Will Grayson be able to make Mia understand that what happened was a misunderstanding? Can they move from the past to make a future together because they belong together?
I loved Mia and Grayson's story. It is filled with all the feels and suspense to make the story worth reading many times. This author is a fantastic storyteller and one of my favorites and I highly recommend you read anything of hers. You will not be disappointed. I hope you read this duet and that you love it as much as I did.

What a stunning and perfect conclusion to Grayson and Mia's story! This book picks up where book 1 left off. Grayson and Mia are back together after finding out how Mia was setup to believe Grayson betrayed her and who was behind the setup. In this book they realize that Ri, Mia's old boss is not through with them and all that he has done. This is a very well written book full of suspense and drama in it. Deep down is the connection and devotion Mia and Grayson have for one another. Their bond is so strong even when it seems all that they have to face might weaken their love for one another. These two know what they have and they strongly believe in one another. The chemistry is so passionate. Mia understands Grayson like no other. I loved going back and visiting the Dirty Rich world of Ms Jones' series. I always enjoy reading about the Walker tam and catching up with them. Mia and Grayson deserve the beautiful HEA they fond.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Circumstances and misunderstandings have led to Mia and Grayson being separated however they have now found their way back together but the obstacles that they must face are far from over. They have learnt from their mistakes and the one thing that they do know is that they are not about to let anyone, or anything come between them.

An enemy from the past may be gone but he isn’t finished wreaking havoc on Grayson’s life and if that isn’t enough Mia’s case comes with a whole set of complications of its own. If Grayson and Mia are going to emerge from the current situation together and alive, they are going to have to involve the people they trust the most which is Walker Security.

Intrigue, twists, hot chemistry and a love that after being tested has emerged stronger than ever.

Oh how I love these characters! I have been waiting for the conclusion of Mia and Grayson's story for what feels like forever. I always know when I am reading this author that I will go through a lot of emotions and I love every minute of it. I do want to point out this is the second book so if you haven't read the first one then you have to read it first and truly you should read all the Dirty Rich books because well they are all fantastic. I love Grayson. I have loved Grayson since meeting him. I loved him even more after reading the first book in the Grayson/Mia story but I have to say even though I didn't think it was possible to love him more, I definitely did. And Mia, oh Mia she is his person. His soul, his heart, his everything and she feels the same with him. Their story was written so well. I can't imagine a better conclusion to their story. Great job once again Ms. Jones!! Can't wait for whatever comes next!

Love Me Forever puts readers right back where they started. Jones made quite an impression in Dirty Rich Betrayal. The renegade billionaire and his heartbroken ex proved quite the team. Grayson and Mia are at at their best when danger stalks them and happily ever after does whatever it can to elude them. This time around, danger could to be much closer than either of them thinks. Will their recent reunion end up costing them the ultimate prize? There's always a twist just waiting in the wings when it comes to a master of suspense like Lisa Renee Jones.

Mia and Grayson are finally happy!!! These two went thru the ups and downs and several threats to be together. It picks up from book 1 and here we see their reconciliation which was bound to happen. Grayson protectiveness was on 1000 and he did everything in his power to protect Mia. Mia also did as much as she can to protect Grayson. They fought for his reputation and band to be cleared but mostly they fought for their love. Great conclusion and even better ending.

Exquisitely tender and loaded with a wide array of emotions, Love Me Forever was the perfect conclusion to Grayson and Mia’s stormy duet of books, where they faced down their demons and recommitted to a bright and shining future together.

I truly have a ball when I’m immersed in what I refer to as the “Walker Universe” that Lisa Renee Jones has created. It’s a fairly large group of characters, all interconnected in one way or another, so it’s like catching up with friends every time I pick up one of these books. Grayson and Mia themselves have appeared in other novels, too... Read More

Oh yes! Mia and Grayson were destined to be together no matter the circumstances that broke them up and now they are back together and putting their lives back together. This one picks up right where the last book left off. Twists and turn take us all the way to the ultimate happy ending.

Addicted to Love! Dirty Rich Betrayal: Love Me Forever is a sensational romance with a touch of suspense. I found myself totally enamored by the beauty of this ever after love story. You know you have a outstanding novel when you can experience all the emotions of the characters.

Love Me Forever sinks deep into your soul and lifts you on the magic carpet ride into their life. Lisa Renee Jones brings Grayson and Mia, his best friend Eric, all the Walker Security macho men, Reese and Cat all come together and share this magical romance with each of you.

Grayson Bennett is the ever sexy Alpha Billionaire who only has eyes for the one woman who give him the air supply to breathe the ever lovely attorney Mia Cavanaugh.

This woman is everything to me. My best friend, my confidante the future mother of my children."

All the while Grayson and Mia are trying to move forward and cope with multiple obstacles that have affected their lives, their dreams, and their future. To watch them combat each obstacle together shows they are a force not be reckoned with. Although Mia continues with her insecurities of failing Grayson by not trusting him she realizes just how wrong she was and continues to work being the woman he believes her to be.

"I screwed up, Grayson. You're the love of my life. I know you're mine. I know I'm yours. You need to know, too, and know nothing touches us again. You own me, Grayson Bennett."

Each character is broken yet Lisa writes so you can watch and see how they can work through whatever it is with the support of the other. Both Mia and Grayson have lost their mothers and Grayson who experienced loss of his father and Mia together only to have been fortunate to have her back again that he is so unwilling to lose her again.... he has to marry her even if they elope and he gives her the wedding of her dreams later..... is fear is to great.....

"I need you to marry me now. It's not about trust. It's about needing my woman, my best friend, my life, to be my wife. it's not about you leaving, it's about you not living another day that could be your last or my last, and not being my wife. Marry me because we need to be husband and wife."
Today is the day our new life really begins. beach today is the day my man, and sunshine, wins. You're home, Mia, and that home is with me. Forever."

What a spectacular ending to know that it will be "Forever, Mia." and too "New Beginnings."

Lisa Renee brings almost all the characters together to create this second chance at love for this beautiful couple. Grayson Bennett, billionaire, gorgeous, dominant and lovingly loyal. He is close to two people since his father passed from a massive heart attack. The two people he trust most in this world is, of course, Mia and Eric. Eric is like a brother to him and has been with him since he has been in town. Mia loved Grayson but her trust was shattered by what she saw instead of taking time to breathe and think, she would have come to the conclusion that Grayson is not the type of person to cheat on her and would never have done what it looked like he and the woman who set him up did. Grayson Bennett is the ever sexy Alpha Billionaire who only has eyes for the one woman who give him the air supply to breathe the ever lovely attorney Mia Cavanaugh. To Grayson Mia is everything, she is his love, his confidante, the future mother of his children.
Grayson says to Mia "I need you to marry me now. It's not about trust. It's about needing my woman, my best friend, my life, to be my wife. it's not about you leaving, it's about you not living another day that could be your last or my last, and not being my wife. Marry me because we need to be husband and wife." Grayson seeing Riley holding a gun to the love of his life, Mia has had a profound effect on him and on her too. Both of them have to work through their trust issues. He has to trust she will not run again and she just has to trust him.
They plan their wedding while trying to work a case and to get the Dungeon, a underground group that was brought in to cause havoc in Grayson's life whether, Riley Montgomery lived or died. He had his attorney carry out his wishes in the event of Riley's death and so Blake's Security Agency was brought in to neutralize the hit against him and Mia.
Loved, loved the conclusion of this story. I found out on a live chat with Renee a couple of weeks ago their will be no more Dirty Rich books, but their is plenty of books out their to read of Lisa Renee's that are worth reading, like the Dirty Rich Series of books. Get started if you haven't. I know I have to finish Rick Savage's story and the stories of Walker Security Agency Men.
I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read. I highly recommend this book

For some reason i thought that we had completed their story so i was surprised to see that this was a new book, but i guess perhaps it’s because all the Walker stories intertwine into this bigger series as well and there are a lot of different trails. Regardless, we’ve picked up with Greyson and Mia now that they are back together and Mia is alive, Ri is dead but they don’t know where the safety will come from next.

There’s so much dirty business going on trying to get at Greyson and we don’t yet know what angle it’s going to come from. Blake and the Walkers have stepped in to protect them and at the same time try to suss out who’s behind it all now that Ri is dead and they are still at risk. Blake learns that there’s a hit still on Greyson and that means that no one is safe- especially since an underground group has been contracted and they want their price.

Throughout this second piece to their story, we watch the unwavering trust and commitment between these two and we get to see that their love has truly prevailed this time around. There’s nothing that can break them at this point so that’s not the struggle in the story. It’s trying to stay safe and build a new life, while also trying to figure out who’s for them and who’s against them.

Through this story we get to be reminded of the amazing relationship between Reece and Cat who we met in earlier books. He’s called in to help Greyson out in defending him from the insanity that comes from an FBI investigation and at the same time, Reece is able to help step in and help Mia with a case that she’s capable of handling on her own, but could use the support for from his ability and reputation.

This is a shorter story of sorts with fewer worries on the longevity of their relationship, but at the same time we are constantly on edge wondering what’s going to happen next and from whom. Our author Lisa Renee Jones gives us all the elements of her stories that we love – romance and heat, passion and fear, trust and loyalty, and of course a few new people that we can hopefully get to know more about in upcoming stories. There’s an endless stream of new guys coming into the Walker fold that we get to meet so i can’t wait to see what’s next

LOVE ME FOREVER is the sixteenth book in the Dirty Rich series. This is the second and final book in Mia and Grayson’s duet. In my opinion the Dirty Rich series should be read in the order of release, though this one could and maybe should be read immediately after Dirty Rich Betrayal.

This could have been an extended epilogue if it were just the story of Mia and Grayson planning their wedding. Instead, it is emotional not only as they reconnect after their year apart, but in Mia’s court case is explored. It is also suspenseful as they face a new threat. Ri left a dead man’s switch of an attack on Grayson and Bennett Industries.

I love, love, love, loved…to infinity… reading the suspense and romance that comes from the mind of Lisa Renee Jones. One nice surprise from this one is that there is no cliff-hanger from this queen of the cliffies! Mia and Grayson are beautifully in love (without being gag-worthy disgusting about it). Plus, there is the Walker Agency helping with all of my favorites making an appearance!

Will there be more Dirty Rich Love, Secrets, and Suspense? I don’t know, but I hope so.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

This is more of Mia and Grayson’s story. If you have not yet read at least Dirty Rich Betrayal I recommend reading that book first as that is the start of this story. This book picks up a little after Dirty Rich Betrayal. These two have overcome so much only to have to endure even more. Betrayal and revenge are a game to some, but Grayson is working with the security team and Eric to find out who is behinds everything and if they can finally take them down. Mia is dealing with issues from a case she is working. Can they figure out everything so they can move on to a future together?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

Grayson Bennett and Mia Cavanaugh are back together.

Having learned that an enemy had done his best to tear them apart, they must work together to heal the damage and save the Bennett reputation. Though that enemy died, the danger isn't over. It will take everything they have to find the happily-ever-after they both dream of.

This is a fantastic read. You will find yourself laughing at some very bad jokes (look for the tomato one), crying at times, angry at other times, but you will be feeling everything right along with Grayson and Mia. That is one of author Lisa Renee Jones' amazing ability - she gives you people to love, people to hate, others to enjoy and still some you just have to put up with. Her support cast of Eric, the savant "brother" to Grayson; another best friend, Davis; the Walker Security Team (which includes Savage!) round out the story with drama, action and danger.

Of course, the romance, love, steamy moments and soul searching that flows through the pages are well balanced. Grayson certainly learned from his mistakes and Mia gave up trying to prove that she wasn't after his money. After all he knew exactly what she was to him - his other half.

The ending was exactly what one expects from Ms. Jones and - no, sorry, you need to read Love Me Forever for yourself - you will love it!

Dirty Rich Betrayal Love Me Forever is book 11 in the Dirty Rich series and is the second book in the duet where Dirty Rich Betrayal is book 4 in the first part of the duet. It has been nearly 2 years since we last saw Grayson and Mia and Mia just survived an attack by Grayson’s enemy Ri. But even though Ri has been eliminated, he set some things in motion that are still coming after Grayson and Mia’s happiness. Don’t fear though because Grayson is able to use the amazing Walker security team to protect them and get to the bottom of the underground threats against them.

This is a typical LRJ style story filled with unexpected twists and turn. I did think the threat was resolved rather quickly and it left me wanting a bit more. We got dual POV and present day intermixed with a few flashbacks scenes to enhance the story. It was a great story and there were some great cameos from characters from other parts of the series.

Hero (Grayson) 5 | Heroine (Mia) 5 | Plot 5 | Writing Style 5 | Steam 4 | Romance 4 | Angst-Suspense 3 | Darkness 1 | Humor 1 | Secondary Characters 5 | Drama-Conflict 4 | Mystery 3 | Twists 4 | Action 2 | Pacing Steady |Dual POV | MF | Billionaire | Lawyer | Twists and Turns | Overall 5 Stars

I read the Dirty Rich series years ago and somehow never finished Mia and Grayson’s story. Now that the stories are available together, I decided to dive back in. This second chance, billionaire, romantic suspense is everything I love about this series. As lawyers, the story is set alongside a case Mia is handling while Mia and Grayson unite to take down a man set to destroy Grayson. There are so many secrets and lies in this story, but I loved that Grayson and Mia’s loyalty to each other never wavered. Life and Grayson’s enemy split them up the first time, but they always loved each other. Meanwhile, Mia’s case is also quite intriguing and I loved how she got justice in the end.

I think what I enjoy most about this story is that it is set in the cutthroat legal scene of NYC and also is a billionaire romance. While Grayson doesn’t flaunt his money, he will use it to accomplish his goal and protect Mia. The fierceness of his loyalty is what made me fall immediately for Grayson. I also love how this series has appearances from previous characters in subsequent stories, but if you’ve not read their stories it won’t affect your enjoyment. Overall, it was nice to return to this world and enjoy stories I loved with fresh eyes.
