ALL OF ME, the sixth and final novel in the INSIDE OUT series is NOW AVAILABLE
Passion. Mystery. It all collides in the breathtaking conclusion to the New York Times bestselling INSIDE OUT series, ALL OF ME.
He's rich and famous, his past dark, but so is hers. Can they save each other? Or will the darkness tear them apart?
Entering the kitchen, I find Chris leaning on the marble countertop by the coffeepot, shirtless and in his pajama bottoms, the long strands of his blond hair a wild, sexy mess I’m pretty sure I created last night.
He glances up from the paper he’s reading, then picks up his coffee cup. “Morning, Ms. McMillan.”
“Morning, Mr. Merit,” I reply, grinning as I join him.
He offers me his coffee cup and I happily accept it, taking a drink of the perfectly flavored coffee and creamer. Sharing a cup with Chris has this sexy, intimate feel to it that always does funny things to my belly.
“Your last day as a free woman,” he comments.
“Why? Are you planning to tie me up sometime soon?”
He covers my hands on his cup. “Is that an objection, or wishful thinking?” He tilts the cup and drinks, his eyes never leaving mine.
“I plead the Fifth. It’s more fun that way.”
“That it is,” he agrees, but a sigh follows. “I wish I could do the same, but you’d better look at the newspaper.” He sets the cup on the counter, then hands me the Arts section of the local paper.
Dread fills me as I read the headline: “Acclaimed Artist and Philanthropist Chris Merit to wed Sara McMillan on Valentine’s Day in Star-studded Event in Sonoma.” I set it down. “We went to so much trouble to get the press off our backs before the wedding, and now they’ve found us! I knew when all these famous people showed up on the guest list, it was going to turn into a zoo.”
“Walker Security anticipated the press, and they’re staffed and ready for it. It’ll be fine. We’ll be shielded.”
Nerves the size of birds, not butterflies, attack my stomach.
“We should have eloped.”
“We still can. Let’s do it. Now. Today.”
“We can’t elope,” I say, sounding appalled, as if he’d suggested it, not me. “People who respect you are coming a long way to see us. And Katie has planned this for months.”
“Baby, we can do whatever we want. This is our day.”
“No. We can’t. Not this far into this. Which reminds me— you can’t stay here tonight. It’s bad luck to see the bride the night before the wedding.”
“I told you how I feel about that. We make our own luck.”
“Chris—”
He kisses me. “I’m staying here tonight, and I’m fucking you like I won’t see you ever again, just to be sure you walk down that aisle.”
“If you’re waiting for me at the end of that aisle, I’ll be there. And if you’re staying here tonight, we can use separate bedrooms.”
“Does today count as part of that eve-of-the-wedding rule?”
“Yes.”
He scoops me up and I yelp. “What are you doing?”
“I’m a renegade, baby. Let’s go break the rules.”
“We can’t elope,” I say, sounding appalled, as if he’d suggested it, not me. “People who respect you are coming a long way to see us. And Katie has planned this for months.”

Wendy's Review:
I'm going to review the entire series instead of just the last book. When I talk about my top five favorite series this is always one of them. I remember starting the first few books and staying up until 2 am reading even though I had to get up by 6 am to get to work on time. I would send Shonna multiple text about the books, the writing, the story lines, the character development, the sex scenes and the all around mystery of what happened to Rebecca was something I needed to talk about, even to someone who was not or had not read any of the books. I cannot pinpoint the exact reasons why I love this series. When the mystery was finally revealed I was shocked and screamed "No f'ing way!" I did not see it coming. Besides the mystery of Rebecca that started the entire series we get to meet Sara, Chris and Mark. With elements of BDSM entwined through the story we learn quickly that each character have their own demons they are fighting every day and who actually just likes being the Master. I was so torn between rooting for Sara to be with Chris because he loves her completely. For her to tell him to get lost because he was so tortured by his past I was worried it would drag her down. The need and want that Chris has for Sara comes through the pages, it is not an obsessed-with-the-woman kind of need, it's full on I-breathe-better-with-you-in-my-life kind of LOVE.
Mark was an entirely different story for me, most of the time I wanted to thump him on his nose with a rolled up newspaper. Once his story came out fully about his past and what he went through, I wanted nothing but to wrap him in my arms and rock him. When the hard shell of that man was opened at the end it brought tears to my eyes. When Mark finally gets everything he has ever wanted his world is completely flipped around to something he never knew was what he needed instead of what he wanted.
Waiting for the sixth book was hard but once I read it the wait was worth it. Lisa Renee Jones has a few other series. I've read one (The Secret Life of Amy Benson) and have the other one (Tall, Dark & Deadly) on my TBR list but if anyone ever ask me to give them a recommendation of a great author I will always say her name.
From the first words on the page to the very last page in book 6, I give this entire series a huge 5 star rating.
