This series keeps getting better and better! Seriously. Problems and situations seem to be getting more emotional and I am LOVING it.

Duplicity by A.J Renee a fab four star read. This is the third book in the St Fleur series, it can be read as a stand-alone but the whole series makes great reading, you get to know all of the characters and the back stories, getting to know the little quirks about them makes it a better story to me personally. The series is so sweet, there is some spice in the story and some scenes of an adult nature so I would only recommend this book to over 18’s, but it’s not the main story line, that’s the ...more

The story Duplicity (St. Fleur Novel Book 3) by AJ Renee is a contemporary romance book. This is a beautiful love story where two people who know they are attracted to each other let their past affect their future. Can they overcome their fears to find their way to each other’s arms? From the very first book, I have loved the St. Fleur series. I love reading about each of the main characters and how they find each other and true love. This time it is Jamie Lynn and Jesse’s story.

Jamie Lynn’s past has her believing that everyone leaves. She doesn’t let herself fall in love for this reason. Then she meets Jesse when he responds to the ad she placed looking for a bartender. It is in their first meeting that a powerful attraction starts and she almost lets herself forget the past and move forward. Then in one day, a situation happens that to Jamie Lynn only validates her fears. What did Jamie Lynn see? Now their relationship is employee and employer, that’s it. Jesse has made it known that he still has feelings for Jamie Lynn. Will his efforts be in vain? Will he ever know the reason that Jamie Lynn won’t explore a relationship with him?

Jesse is a man that is trying to forget the past. A tragic situation has made him leave his hometown and the ad for a bartender in St. Fleur seems to be a good place to start. Then he meets Jamie Lynn. The attraction is instant and powerful. Jamie Lynn seems to be the one person who helps him to heal. While the attraction is still strong, Jesse has no idea why Jamie Lynn won’t take the next step with him. He has always made it clear that he wants more, can he get Jamie Lynn to change her mind? Can he break down the walls she has put around herself and her heart or does the past have too strong of a hold?

I loved the characters of Jamie Lynn and Jesse and have always rooted for them to get together. In this series, all of the characters overlap into the next and the mystery of why Jamie Lynn and Jesse are not together has been a constant since the beginning. If you have not read the first two books I highly recommend that you do. While each book revolves around one couple that is falling in love, it also updates you on the lives of the other characters. There is a series that made me laugh out loud at some of the situations that happen and also what the characters say. They are prone to say what they feel no matter how it comes out. It is one of the reason’s that I love this series. The author as created stories that touch your heart and has me believing that there is someone out there for everyone. When you find them hold on to them. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. This story does include adult situations which include some very steamy romance scenes. It would be recommended for those 18 years of age or older. ...more

Jamie Lynn is used to being closed of to preserve herself. She is used to everyone leaving and not staying. When all her fears are disproven, she has lost that security blanket she's built. Watching her come to the realization that her fears are nought is touching on an emotional level. Jamie Lynn is a strong woman. AJ wrote a woman with a business, who has struggled, endured, and survived. As an adult, I love that while she had her insecurities, she was level-headed about her business life. She grew in this story in so many ways. She learned that even with her guard up family is there at all times. They don't have to be blood. She also opened up to all the possibilities of opening her heart to Jesse and the other characters. I had a chuckle moment when Marc made a murder comment. I could picture this whole book playing out in my head like a movie.
Jesse has more secrets than the government LOL. I was surprised by them. Couldn't see some of them coming until AJ wanted me to. Talk about pulling wool over my eyes AJ. Seriously, normally I can see what's going to happen but I was shocked on many levels with him. Jesse was the total package and swoon worthy doesn't do him justice. You could feel his strength, heartache, love, and fight. He is everything you want in a man. Watching him step up and conquer Jamie Lynn's fears just cemented him as all things sugar and spice.
I cannot talk a lot about this story because there are so many spoilers and I refuse to do that to y'all. Obviously from the cover you see it's an interracial romance. AJ handled this flawlessly. She had a way about her writing that made you feel the emotions of the characters. The topics are heavy at times, but she balances them in a way that is realistic. I LOVED this story. As you read, you can see the heart and soul put in this one (loved the others too). It knocked it out of the park for me. AJ has done it again writing a heck of a story.

Some fave lines:
"Walker," he whispered, "look what you do to me. If you would only let me in, you'd see you're it. There is no one else."

"I've been dying to know if your skin is as soft as it looks."

"I don't want to hurt you. It would kill me."

"I love her, have for a long time."

I have so many more, but don't want to spoil it. ...more

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. ...more

Jamie Lynn has had heartbreak follow her whole life, after her father leaving the family home when she was six, to her mother dying in an accident and that Jamie Lynn had to look after her younger sister Charlotte Mae. The one great thing she has worked hard to own is her pub in St Fleur, Whiskey’s. Over the years Charlotte Mae has worked there on her days off but it is time to hire a new member of the team, so while they are interviewing for a new bar person in walks a man which makes Jamie Lynn believe she is alive.

After a working interview where this man nails the drinks he is making but also will fit in well with Jamie Lynn. Although Jamie Lynn is worried of her attraction to this hunk Charlotte is prepared to push her sister into hiring him.

Jesse walked into the little pub in St Fleur wanting to erase the hurt he has felt over the past six months, but as he walks into Whiskey’s the owner Jamie Lynn ignites something inside him her thought has been gone when tragedy struck and he thought he would not survive the years without his love. Roll on to a year he has been working in the pub and he and Jamie Lynn have a moment which he has been waiting for, so after being interrupted he decides to ask her out on a date in New Orleans. As Jamie Lynn is going to the date she sees something which jolts her and turns around and drives back to St Fleur and stands up Jesse.

Roll forward three years and it’s the day of Sophia and Noah’s wedding and everything is going well, she and Jesse are sniping at each other as usual until after the ceremony something snaps between the two of them and they decide to explore the chemistry which has been building for the past three years. Will they finally put the past behind both of them and fan the fire of desire or will Jesse's past bite them on the arse or will the Jamie Lynn be able to put the past behind them and concentrate on the future.

I have to say that this book is my favourite of the series so far, I wanted this story to understand the chemistry between these two characters but knowing my gut that there had to be reason why they had not investigate the chemistry in the past. I loved the way that Jamie Lynn is such a strong female character but she has her flaws and insecurities with the new fledged relationship, also with the story of Jesse losing someone so precious to him but feeling guilty that he loves Jamie is a great internal storyline battle. I believe you can read this book as a stand alone but to be honest you will want to read about Sophia and Noah’s story with a sprinkling of Lindsay and Marc’s story. I wishing the next book if there is one will be regarding Charlotte or James, either way I can’t wait.

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...

Duplicity was a great 5 star read. This is book three in the St. Fleur series.

My heart got tore right out in the very beginning, what a way to start a book. I felt so bad for Jaime Lynn.

We jump ahead thirty years, Jaime has bought her own pub, Whiskey’s and everything is going great. She also has a younger sister that means the world to her. I have to say I really enjoyed the bachelorette party scene, Jaime is out with the girls watching some hot as sin strippers and the contest she finds herself in was great.

Jesse had to get away from New Orleans and getting the job at Whiskey’s was perfect. He was also very attracted to the owner Jaime, she brought up feelings he hadn’t had in a long time. Like riding a bike, his body knew what it wanted, how it wanted it, and how much it needed it.

Ever since Jaime hired Jesse to bartend she has been fighting her attraction to him. At one point she thought he felt the same until she witnessed something that changed her mind and for the past three years she has been keeping him at arm's length.

When Jesse finally has had enough he forces Jaime to talk to him and tell him why she changed her mind. When he explains some things to Jaime, it makes complete sense and they end up trying to make things work. These two have things from their past that they are trying to move forward from. Can they get past the memories and be happy?

Jesse made her forget about all the things that could go wrong.

There are more things revealed that added a great element to their story. I had some ugly crying moments. I really enjoyed reading their story and seeing these two come together was great. You could feel their attraction and when they finally connected it was hot. All of the secondary characters were great, I had several lol moments. I wouldn’t mind seeing more from this couple. A.J. Renee does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing and you won’t put it down until your done. 1-click and get started today on the St. Fleur series. ...more
