Unwrapping: Review of Rebecca's Lost Journals: HIS SUBMISSIVE & MY MASTER, Inside Out Novellas by Lisa Renee Jones

THE INSIDE OUT TRILOGY by Lisa Renee Jones. I cannot express enough how much I love this contemporary romance series that started out as an indie publication and has since been picked up by Simon & Schuster AND will be coming to STARZ some day soon as a mini-series. Can things get any better? Yes, we can keep reading. In August of last year, I reviewed IF I WERE YOU and fell in love with this amazing mystery romance. In February, I discussed the series and reviewed the first two fascinating entries of Rebecca’s Lost Journals: THE SEDUCTION and THE CONTRACT. Well, now I bring you the second and third, HIS SUBMISSIVE and MY MASTER.

***I purchased HIS SUBMISSIVE for my personal reading but MY MASTER was provided by the author in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.

Blurb for HIS SUBMISSIVE:

An Inside Out novella...
In part three of Rebecca’s Lost Journals, His Submissive , Rebecca must decide just how far she will go for the darkly intense man who she is falling in love with. And does she dare believe that he too, will ever love her?

                                *                   *                   *                     *                  *

If I tell you about what’s in the journal, I walk the thin line of giving away a spoiler so instead, I’m just going to tell you what I thought of this intriguing, tension-filled novella. Rebecca is on the verge. Ready to sign the contract, she’s questioning whether she is doing it for him or for herself. She knows she wants to be with her “Master” more than anything and is willing to do what it takes to make him happy, yet fears feeling lost. We’ve experienced her angst since the beginning and Lisa continues to keep us on edge. Just when you think you might know who “Master” is, she leads in another direction. The tension has increased two-fold and leaves us, the readers, begging for more just as Rebecca can’t pull herself away from what she knows may end badly, if she gives herself fully, body and heart, to her “Master”.

 

If you’re as deep into this series as I am, you need to continue reading. Continue experiencing Rebecca’s addiction to a man who remains a stranger and a mystery to us as we’re led closer to a jumping off point where we can’t stop until we know the truth.

Rebecca's Lost Journals: MY MASTER by Lisa Renee Jones

Blurb for MY MASTER:

An Inside Out novella …

In part four of Rebecca’s Lost Journals, My Master, it’s Rebecca turn to claim control and set the limits in her relationship.

                     *                       *                      *                     

Rebecca needs more. She's given in to “Master” in ways she never thought she would but now her feeling of being lost is growing stronger. Her feelings for “Master” are growing and she’s not feeling a return from him. It’s time to renew the contract, but will she? Lisa gives us more insight than ever in this fourth installment of Rebecca’s Lost Journals. We still don’t know who “Master” is but we are starting to see more hints of who he might be – I have my suspicions, but am still too shaky to say for sure. A few other questions have floated to the top for me and now my mind is racing with what could be, what is, and what might be. A must read if you’re a lover of the Inside Out Trilogy and preparing yourself for the release of BEING ME, coming in June. 

 

I highly recommend the reading of this entire series but if you’ve read IF I WERE YOU and are simply waiting for BEING ME, and hope to be satisfied, you won’t be. Lisa has released each of these journals to help fill in the gaps, to keep us tightly addicted to this series and looking forward to BEING ME with such enthusiasm that we can hardly catch our breath. But if you haven’t read any of this series yet, you still have time but YOU MUST READ IN ORDER. It’s imperative that you read IF I WERE YOU, followed by all four installments of Rebecca’s Lost Journals – in order – and then you will be all caught up for the release of BEING ME. Definitely, so worth it, I cannot express how worthwhile it is.

 

Happy Reading Everyone!

Wacky Wednesday: Reviews & Remarks - REBECCA'S LOST JOURNALS by Lisa Renee Jones

Back in August, I was fortunate enough to read and review book one of the Inside Out Trilogy, IF I WERE YOU, by Lisa Renee Jones. I was totally hooked by this incredible story of a woman's need to discover the whereabouts of a woman she'd only met through the journals left behind in a storage unit. We're still waiting for book two, BEING ME, due to release in June but in the meantime, Lisa has provided us with a wonderful diversion in the form of Rebecca's Lost Journals similar to those that Sara McMillan read and that drew her into the world in which Rebecca entered and from which she mysteriously disappeared.

If you haven't read IF I WERE YOU by Lisa Renee Jones yet, I implore you do and come on this fabulous adventure into mystery and seduction with Sara and the rest of us. If you have read this fabulous first installment of the trilogy that Lisa refers to as FIFTY SHADES OF GRAY meets BASIC INSTINCT, then I promise you will want to read Lisa's companion novella treats, REBECCA'S LOST JOURNALS. I call them treats because they are short little forays into the world that Rebecca encounters and clues to what may have happened to her and who might have taken her away - the question: who is her MASTER? I love the concept of writing Rebecca's story as her journal entries - the same kind of journal entries that drew Sara into the world of the art gallery and the mysterious world of BDSM while trying to discern if the man in Rebecca's life is Mark, Chris, Ricco or someone completely different.

THE SEDUCTION is volume one in Rebecca's Lost Journals by Lisa Renee Jones. I received the eARC of this novella and the second one, THE CONTRACT, as provided by the author in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.

Blurb for the SEDUCTION:

An Inside Out novella...

The secret life of Rebecca and the men who have seduced her.
These are the journals Sara never sees, but you the reader, will!

More details!

The journals read like stories and begin the first time Rebecca visits the gallery in the INSIDE OUT TRILOGY. You will meet Mark, Chris, Ava, Amanda, Ricco, and all the series characters as she does AND there are tons of clues to what happens in BEING ME in the first 4 serials. They are woven within the story ready for your discovery, as is Rebecca's dark, erotic journey.


In THE SEDUCTION, we meet Rebecca from her point of view as she writes in her journal. We discover her desire to work at the art gallery and rise above her current go nowhere career as a waitress. We encounter the world of art as she does, and we're given a voyeuristic view of her encounter with a man who changes her life and wishes her to become his submissive. We suffer her fears, her angst, and her hesitations as she wonders if she is getting in over her head.

Having read IF I WERE YOU, I loved this inside look into the mind of the character that drives Sarah McMillan's need to know in the trilogy. I love the little clues that are given here and there which only make me want to get my hands on BEING YOU all the more and wishing it was here already!!

I literally had THE SEDUCTION read in about 40 minutes. It was over almost as soon as it began which was okay because I knew there were more to come. Wonderful teasers that keep the reader's appetite for more of the INSIDE OUT TRILOGY going strong.

*************

THE CONTRACT is volume two of Rebecca's Lost Journals by Lisa Renee Jones. As stated above, I received an eARC from the author in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.

Blurb for THE CONTRACT:

Same blurb as above.

In THE CONTRACT, Rebecca has been presented with a contract by her "Master" and she must decide if she will agree to it or walk away. He tells her it's negotiable but she's not sure what he means. He keeps telling her that it's all about her pleasure but she has a hard time understanding that when the contract talks about punishment, his sharing her with others, and being under his control whenever they are together as her being in control. She questions the contract, she questions his desires, and when she tells him no, rather than take that as the final answer, he asks her to try everything at least once. He tells her that if she doesn't like it, that provision will be dropped from THE CONTRACT.

In THE CONTRACT, we're given even more clues about who the MAN might be and what kind of world Rebecca has been drawn into but I think I'm finding myself even more intrigued, and even more in the dark but definitely eager to read more. Yes, I'm addicted to the Inside Out Trilogy and now Rebecca's Lost Journals. You might laugh but I know if you read them too, you will be just as addicted. I had this one consumed in less than 30 minutes. Addicting!

Lisa Renee Jones has created almost a franchise of intrigue surrounding the mysterys, the sex, the danger, and the eroticism of the Inside Out Trilogy and readers are clamoring for more. How about you? Have you read any of this amazing series yet - if not, what are you waiting for? At the cost of 99¢ for each of Rebecca's Lost Journals, you can't go wrong for an amazing introduction to the Inside Out Trilogy.

This series was originally set to be a self-published endeavor by the author but shortly after IF I WERE YOU was released, Lisa's entire series was picked up by Simon & Schuster so her loyal readers weren't the only ones who saw an amazing future for this series. With THE SEDUCTION already available, THE CONTRACT releasing this month, and two more volumes from Rebecca's Lost Journals (HIS SUBMISSIVE and MY MASTER) due out by the end of May and BEING ME, the second book in the trilogy due out in June, there's plenty to keep your imagination active and satisfied - like any happy addict. 

Happy Reading Everyone!
