SYNOPSIS
Master…
Being that person, that man, is how I define myself, how I allow the
rest of the world to define me as well. And now, with a terrible loss
shredding me inside out and someone trying to destroy my family to
punish me, control is more important than ever. It is everything. It is
what I need. It is all I need. Or maybe I just need…her.

At nine o’clock, Jacob is at my door in a black suit and a trench coat. He announces, “It’s snowing like a forest fire outside.”
I arch a brow at the contradictory statement that somehow makes sense. Taking my Crombie from the entryway closet, I step into the hallway, letting the door slam shut as I start walking. Ready to get to the hospital and see my parents. Even more ready to take action than I was last night. I’m done with sitting back, waiting, wanting, burning to death from my own lack of control.
The elevator opens and Jacob and I step inside. “Anything I need to know about this morning, Bossman?” he asks, using the nickname the Allure staff back in San Francisco often call me.
“I want one of your men shadowing Crystal around the clock.”
“Suspicion or protection?”
“Protection. She’s too close to my family and business to assume she won’t become a target.”
“Starting when?”
“Today. And it’s not enough for you to just be on alert for Ava. Find her and whoever’s helping her, before she finds us.”
His jaw is set hard. “We’re working on it.”
My eyebrow goes up. “No denial that she’s working with someone? I thought you were programmed to repeat that police rubbish?”
“More like, told not to encourage you to rip anyone’s throat out in the name of vengeance.”
“But you’re telling me that you think there’s more to Ava’s disappearance? Despite that order from your boss?”
“Yes, I do. And they do.”
“About damn time you grew some balls.”
“I assure you, Mr. Compton, I have balls the size of Texas when I need them. I can also promise you that, despite downplaying it to you, Walker Security is working every angle that could represent danger to you or your family, or even your reputation. They aren’t ignoring any possibility where Ava is concerned, or taking anything for granted where safety is concerned. They’re damned good—which is why I joined them.”
The elevator doors ding open and we step out, then head toward the lobby doors. “Do you have any new information you should share?”
“Nothing on Ava, Ryan, or Ricco that helps us at all.”
“Would you tell me if you did?”
“Not if I could rip their throats out for you and call it justice, to spare you the aftermath.”
“I’m not sure what to make of that answer.”
His stoic expression doesn’t change. “I do that to people.”

Book Review ~ ‘I Belong to You’ by Lisa Renee Jones ~ 5 Stars!
The chance to get inside Mark Compton’s head was something I was very excited about. Whilst I loved Sara and Chris’ story, the beautiful development of their relationship and growing trust for each other, I always wondered about Mark’s story and how it all entwined with theirs.
From the start I knew that Mark’s story was going to be a challenge. I was so excited to get into his head, and loved finally getting to see the man that he hides behind the face of ‘The Master’. The glimpses of a loving human that Sara saw in the previous books was something that had me dying to understand him more.
Mark Compton is just one of those characters that draws you in. From the first line in his narrative I began to understand him, and Lisa Renee Jones has done such a fantastic job in creating such a well rounded character, and one who has all the light and dark shades that make up a troubled but desperate young man. I loved seeing the connection he had with his family in this book, and particularly the devotion he had towards his mother. Seeing how his parents helped him understand his feelings towards Crystal was wonderful to read, and I really adored the family scenes.
Crystal was a brilliant heroine for this story. Strong, sassy and stubborn she is one of those brilliant women who can be hard and stern when necessary but also capable of giving so much love and support, something that I really admired in her, especially considering how Mark had treated her prior to and at the beginning of this book. Her need to help him, but also not push him about his past made Mark’s growing acceptance of his feelings for her, and his desire to tell her about his past all that more beautiful.
The suspense and mystery that was so perfectly pitched in the first books in this series is brilliantly continued in ‘I Belong to You’. I loved the twists and turns that Lisa Renee Jones made in Rebecca’s murder case, ones that had me on the edge of my seat in suspense! I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll just say ‘You Must Keep Reading!’.
Crystal and Mark’s story is one of finding your true self during the hardest of times, and I laughed and cried as I followed the start of their journey.
5 Stars!
