ARC BOOK REVIEW: Lisa Renee Jones - Being Me (Inside Out Trilogy #2)

Being Me by Lisa Renee Jones
Series: Inside Out Trilogy #2
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Erotic, Suspense, BDSM
Publication Date: Jun 11, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥
The sexy second installment in the Inside Out erotic romance trilogy, following If I Were You—in the seductive tradition of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Fascinated by the dark fantasies in the journals she’s discovered, and the two men who have now found a place in her life, Sara McMillan finds herself torn between her new life and her past. Now, more than ever, Sara identifies with the lost journal writer, Rebecca, and is certain that something sinister has happened.

In the arms of the sexy, tormented artist Chris Merit, Sara seeks answers about Rebecca and ends up discovering things about herself she never knew existed. Chris forces Sara to reconsider who she is and what she truly wants from life, but not before his dark desires threaten to tear them apart. Her boss, Mark Compton, offers her the shelter to understand just what those needs mean to her, and what they might have meant to Rebecca, but can she trust him to lead her to a final conclusion to Rebecca’s story?

 My Thoughts

As I said before, I'm not particular with bdsm and love triangle between two guys pinning for one girl.
I'm also not a big fan of "50 shades" and to be honest I didn't finish that book... but I wanted  to read Inside Out Trilogy because almost everyone I know talks about this book. So what the heck yeah? Might as well give this one a try. lol

I started reading the first book If I Were You and I didn't expect to like it..  heck!  I didn't know what to expect but to be honest  the story was quite good and kept me on the edge the entire time.. I was pissed that it ended with a major cliffhanger! So when I saw this book on NetGalley, I just had to request it right away!
I was waiting for this book to come out and a big thank's to NetGalley for giving me an ARC copy
of the second book!

Being Me is the second installment of the INSIDE OUT TRILOGY. It picks up right where the first book left off and in my opinion, the first book was good, but Being Me was down right amazinggggg!!!
The story has it's more twist and  mystery and frustration that I couldn't put it down!

“Baby, the ways I’m going to fuck you are too many to count, but not tonight. Tonight, I’m going to make love to you.”

I love damaged characters- and admired Chris and Sarah in the first book but in here- I just  fell in love them. They are both damaged souls and throughout the story they help each other.

What I love about this book is that there were a lot of stuff going on, so many mixed emotions
that confused and frustrate me but I found myself unable to look away and kept me turning the pages!
Sex scenes are hot as ever! Not a fan of bdsm, but the sex scenes between Chris and Sarah was well written and steamy that I didn't mind the bdsm one bit!

The mystery of Rebecca's journals was quite entertaining to read! I wanted to know more what happened to her..unravel the mystery of her journals. I'm like "Where the hell is Rebecca?!"  I still have so many questions left unanswered. grr!

My only complaint is that I hate reading installments with cliffy at the end. It took the author forever to release the second book and I'm totally sure that the last installment of this series will take the same.

Overall, This is a must read! Hold on tight because Being Me is one roller coaster ride! A well written book that almost have it all... romance, steamy sex scenes, jealousy, love, lust, suspense, confusion and excitement!

I'll be patiently waiting for the final installment titled Revealing Us!!

I received this book from Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
