I’d never given the phrase Dead Man Walking much thought. Dirty Rotten Scoundrel takes off right after the events of the last book. Jaye has just found out that her father isn’t really dead and he’s looking for the boxes she took from their family cabin, boxes that contain a LOT of secrets. So not only does Jaye have her father and all his criminal activities to cause problems for her, it also seems that Jack’s S.W.A.T. past has come back to haunt him and he together with Jaye, the FBI and a

I'm torn over this part of the series. It was well written, and the characters are probably more quippy than ever before. But I've started catching myself thinking about a few things...We kind of missed out on the relationship tension with this couple. They went from friends to much-more-than overnight. But it's the tension that really makes the reader root for the relationship and the HEA, and that is missing (mostly) in this series.Jaye's Dad and the whole story with him feels a LOT like the T...

300 hundred pages of intense enjoyment! Volume 3 in the JJ Graves mystery series did not disappoint! Liliana Hart is an incredible author who has the ability to build the action in her writing while keeping the characters realistic and approachable. She left me hanging again at the end of this one so all I can say is she better get busy on volume 4. I'm not good at waiting!

4 starsOwn in The J.J. Graves Mysteries box set.JJ is visited by someone in her past she thought was dead and Jack's past comes back to haunt him somewhat. (view spoiler)[Kudos to the author for not letting past partners of JJ and Jack to break them apart - both are mature in how they handle this - it is the past and they love each other - that simple. (hide spoiler)] I read this one straight through and immediately picked up box set 2 to read book 4. So far, I'm loving this series.

Way too much sexual content. I really enjoyed the plot and definitely an interesting book, just wish there wasn’t so much sexual explicit detail in it. Could also use without the blaspheming of Jesus’s name.

This crime series is full of fun, fast paced fun reads. It's a who dunnit involving a coroner/mortician and a cop who was SWAT. It's a combo that works. A neat, quick read.

Four stars!So, here's the thing. The first half of this book I was kind of annoyed because: 1. There are continuity problems that seem to be plotline based. In the first two books,Jack was said to have come back to Bloody Mary to heal himself from a huge deal that had gone wrong for his SWAT team, leaving him the sole survivor. Yet here, in the third book, the only one that had died on his team during that same case that went wrong was his "best friend" and the others were alive to conveniently

Now that JJ and Jack are having sex every twenty pages or so, I am getting a little bored with them. But I am not really the target audience for sex scenes - I always think an extended description of mind-shattering sex only brings the plot to a screeching halt, and that happens a lot in this book. Part of that is that all these sex scenes are ancillary to the plot - now that our main character has her man, it feels voyeuristic and a little pointless to go over all their hot sex again and again....

4.50 / 5 StarsI really like J.J. and Jack's characters and their relationship....In Dirty Rotten Scoundrel members of Jack's former SWAT team that took down the bank robbers who killed 22 patrons & employees are being picked off one at a time. The only 2 left are Wolfe and Jack. Wolfe is missing and Jack, who is also being hunted, is now on the investigation team in Bloody Mary along with the FBI and DOJ. J.J. being the town coroner/undertaker is elbow deep in all of this, too.Who is killing his...

What can I say about this that is positive? I was taught to always start with something positive. Ummmm..... I guess I like the characters. Jaye and Jack are cute together even if it is so sweet I need a shot of insulin.I really wish the author knew her own work. Consistency is a big deal for me. It annoys me when consistency is thrown out the window.For example, in book 1 it says, "Jack used to be on the S.W.A.T. team in D.C. But he'd resigned after he'd been the last cop left alive when a drug...

I am so obsessed with this series. Jack & JJ are my babies. ❤If you love a good crime book with an amazing romance and sarcastic-ass characters - this series is your best option. I adore, just adore, JJ and how real she is. We get to really know her and relate to her and her fears and problems. And there's Jack... Sorry but I just keep imagining Scott Eastwood as Jack and I keep getting hot and bothered. These books are full of action and awesome mysteries. And, of course, some damn good slow-bu...

There is nothing like Bloody Mary. There is nothing like J.J. Graves and Jack Lawson. There are a couple that match each other in every way. Their witty banter, sexual escapades, and murder cases make them unique. They can make you laugh one minute, feel all hot and bothered the next, and have you solving the case along with them. This case wasn't local. It pointed Jack's way physically as well as emotionally. I loved how J.J. through it all was always by Jack's side. It didn't matter what was h...

Book three in the series takes on Jack's past and more of the mystery around JJ's parents. There are less plot holes in this story, Still rapid fire and charismatic as ever!The relationship between JJ and Jack is pretty solid, I like that, too much drama kills a series. He does blow one thing out of proportion, she only waited a day. The banter and playfulness between the two is a staple and key thing I love in the series. They are a dynamic couple and I love the way they interact.The bedroom do...

The story was not as good as the previous two.  The sex has become unnecessarily graphic and some profanity added.  Now Jack has PTSD (no sign of it before), which manifests itself in ... his getting angry with J.J.?  Finally, it’s hard to believe a certain individual can show up repeatedly and disappear again in seconds.

A wise person recently said "Sometimes you just want to read!"

These books are starting to get annoying. The sexual banter between Jack and JJ is just stupid. Every time they talk, it’s like the author is doing her best to remind us that they both get laid on a regular basis. Very very irritating.The plots are becoming more and more ridiculous and I don’t think the whole thing about JJ and her parents is at all compelling.I might go to the next book just to see if the wedding is worth it, but I’m in zero hurry...

Another winner in a series that has convinced me mysteries can be fun... and addictive! I especially love the relationship between J.J. and Jack. They are turning out to be one of my all-time favorite couples - and that is saying something considering how many books I read! In this installment, the suspense and mystery ratchets up as it becomes personal. Someone is trying to kill Jack and no one knows who or how to stop it. It is a bit of a stretch that J.J. Is included in all the action but hey...

Ghost from the past Both Jack and JJ deal with ghost from their past. I have accepted that the author has expanded on the back story of JJ parents. I still feel like I missed something in book one, and why JJ felt she needed to leave her life for Bloody Mary. Plus as a ER doctor changed to county coroner JJ is very well versed in crime scene investigation. I do need to suspend disbelief, but the character relationship is what propels these stories. JJ and Jack are really great together and bante...

Love JJ & Jack. If you like a good msytrey mixed with some sarcasm (not to mention some good romance) this series is for you.

Oh man I love JJ AND jack so much!!The writing was good in this trilogy (one book to go I think?) the first book there were a few typos 'than' instead of then little things like that, whilst annoying you could forgive. Also a couple of names mixed up like referring to the victim as her sister etc. book two was better, still a few obvious typos and a couple of words missing and book three was the same, there were a couple of sentences where I was like wait what? And had to reread.I love the secon...
