Wonderful reading from Lisa Renee Jones

Museum curator Jessica Montgomery carries on her late mother's almost desperate interest in an ancient journal, not fully understanding her mother's dogged determination in searching for it. When Des from the Knights of White appoints himself Jessica's protector, she is even more confused, not understanding the darkness that threatens her. The Darkland Beasts want this journal to carry out their own evil intentions, and will stop at nothing to get it, just as the Des and the other knights are willing to die trying to keep Jessica and the journal safe. It turns out that the connection between Des and Jessica and the journal runs much deeper than either of them could have imagined.
Des, like all of the Knights of White, has just enough beast in him to make him fear losing control. There is an immediate attraction between Des and Jessica, but his reluctance to completely let go when he's with her is troubling. When all of the pieces fall into place and it begins to look like Jessica is his intended mate, Des has some monumental decisions to make. The biggest of which is whether he can get past the notion that he doesn't deserve someone like Jessica.
I have enjoyed the first two books in this series very much and I feel confident in recommending them. While they are satisfying reads by themselves, I can't help but feel that they will be enjoyed much more if read in order, starting with THE BEAST WITHIN.

Five Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!

Jessica Montgomery, as a curator for a big museum, is nervous. The museum she works for has discovered a highly sensitive historical document; the same document her mother spent years of her life trying to find. This document contains information that the Darkland Beasts want and information which the Knights of White must protect at any cost. Though Jessica doesn't know what is in the journal, she is very familiar with the information and facts her mother told her. Regardless, Jessica isn't sure that she believes in ancient Knights and dark beasts intent upon killing humans throughout the world.

Des has been sent by his leader, Jag, to find the Journal of Solomon. It seems the journal contains information that could affect future generations of humans. Since the Knights of White has sworn to protect the human race at any cost, it is imperative that Des find and steal that journal before the Darkland Beasts. His plan? Find and earn the trust of one Jessica Montgomery, the daughter of the woman who spent years trying to find the box mentioned in the journal. It will be an uphill battle between good and evil because the Darkland Beasts have help this time in the form of Jessica's nemesis.

Jessica and Des are attracted to each other immediately at first sight. Des readily believes that he is not worthy of a woman such as Jessica. Though he fights his attraction and desire for her, he knows it is only a matter of time before his inner beast succumbs to the woman that it craves. Unwilling to hurt her, yet unable to leave her alone, Des succumbs and quickly finds that he can't get enough of Jessica. Only when Des is fully able to commit and believe that she is the woman destined to soothe his inner beast will they be truly together.

BEAST OF DESIRE is right! I immediately desired Des upon opening this book. His ability to see situations from all sides while doing his best to be honorable touched me tremendously. Even though he couldn't see it, I could tell what a pure and noble soul he was and his attraction and desire for Jessica showed through on each page. Jessica is a very strong character and to be the mate of Des, she has to be. She is loyal, has fortitude, and is strong enough to stand up to even the foulest of men. They make the perfect pair.

My name is Natasha Smith and I am addicted to this series! With BEAST OF DESIRE, Lisa Renee Jones grabs you, holds you, and with artfully written words and sensuous love scenes hot enough to melt even the most frozen of hearts, she weaves a timeless love story between two truly deserving characters. Then, on top of that, she leaves you hanging with just enough suspense that as a reader I am simply dying to read the third installment, BEAST OF DARKNESS. BEAST OF DESIRE is definitely a five blue ribbon read! ***Natasha Smith for Romance Junkies***

It just gets better!

Yay! A great steamy romance that builds and two well matched smart and sexy leads make Beast of Desire sooo much better than Jones' first Knights of White book.

Des was one of the amazing supporting characters in the last book who gave me hope for this series and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Des still walks the edge here being one of the Knights whose beast is close to having full control, since he keeps his human part protected and hidden away due to scars in his past. Even though Des and Jennifer aren't soulmates from a previous life like Karen and Jag from The Beast Within (Silhouette Nocturne Series), there still is a familiarity and a sixth sense of 'knowing' each other innately that makes the quick attachment that flames between Des and Jennifer seem natural and believable.

Overall Jones does better with her bad guys here too. This time we aren't bludgeoned by their evil, though the human minion Greg, who is Jennifer's nemesis and aspires to beastdom, gets a bit repetious and tiresome after a while. Other than that my only minor nit was with the scene where Jag give Jennifer a complete flashback on Des' history and Beast battles, it pulled me out of the action a bit and I think that Jones should have trusted her heroine a bit more and not gone for the quick save. Jennifer's instincts were all telling her the truth about Des anyway.

Aside from Jennifer and Des' relationship, I really like the way that Jones starts to develop Wes her next at bat hero, she did such a good job showing him bent under the weight of the past as hopelessness slowly overwhelms him that I can't wait for the next book Beast Of Darkness (Silhouette Nocturne)to watch this weary warrior get his own redemption.

terrific romantic fantasy

A Knight of the White, Des is a bit surprised with his current assignment. He searches for an ancient tome The Journal of Solomon that contains a map that will lead to a treasure chest filled with the names of those whose ancient lineage were angels; normally Des is a warrior in direct fight against the evil of the Darkland Beasts in their millennia old civil war for species control. Knowing he will need help to locate the sacred journal Des turns to the Dallas World Museum curator Jessica Montgomery for help in finding the treasure before the enemy obtains it.

Her mother ignored her and her family in a futile lifetime quest to find the ancient journal. She wants to tell him to forget it as it is not worth the time, but Jessica is attracted to the enigmatic Des so decides to assist him on his quest to learn why he is interested in this tome and how he knew she was the right staff person to enlist. As they fall in love, he knows he is just a beast with a soul that could turn dark at any moment and thus unworthy of the angelic daughter of a senator.

The latest Knights of White tale (see THE BEAST WITHIN) is a terrific romantic fantasy starring two courageous heroes falling in love while on a dangerous quest with their enemies in hot pursuit as both studies understand what The Journal of Solomon means. The story line is fast-paced and filled with non-stop action as the danger mounts so does the attraction. Readers will appreciate Lisa Renee Jones' latest thriller.

Beast of Desire is terrific!

Having read Lisa Renee Jones' "The Beast Within" (the first in the Knights of White series), I was looking forward to reading the next book. I was NOT disappointed! "Beast of Desire" was fast, intriguing and of course, tells more of the story from the Knights of White point of view. Des has been walking the fine line between going bad for so long and doesn't think he's worthy of the woman who will bring him the beast within him and his humanity together. Boy was he wrong as Jessica IS his perfect mate. I would definitely recommend this book. Can't wait for the next book in the series to come out!
