The sexy, breathtaking mystery continues in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones’s stunning second novel in the suspenseful Careless Whispers series—where shocking revelations will reveal themselves and nothing, and no one, will ever be the same.
Still struggling with amnesia, Ella questions everything she’s known about Kayden Wilkens—the alluring stranger who claims to have found her unconscious in an alleyway a month earlier. But was he truly a stranger—or did Kayden know her before his supposed rescue? Tormented by the potential betrayal he denies, with fleeting memories of a bombshell in her recent past, Ella must face a hard reality. Every action has consequences . . . and trusting Kayden, the one thing she most desires, might result in the direst consequences of all.
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, whose searing novels generate “enough heat . . . to start a fire” (RT Book Reviews), dares you to fall in love with her irresistibly surprising and sexy new series.

I have been waiting for this book since reading the first book in the Careless Whisper series Denial and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. Please keep in mind this is a true series so you will need to read Denial before starting Demand.
We start off exactly where we left off with Ella and Kayden, the book takes off running and doesn’t slow down. We are still on Ella’s journey to find out who she is and who Kayden is to her and is what we think what is real. Told completely from Ella’s POV you find out bits and pieces of her history as she does and what she chooses to share with Kayden. Kayden is sexy as ever and as the reader, I truly believe he is there for Ella, and as the mystery unravels she really starts to believe it as well. The story is fast paced with some familiar cameos from Lisa Renee Jones other series’ which is fantastic. It’s hard to believe that all of this transpires in such a short amount of time.
Lisa Renee Jones has always done a fabulous job weaving suspense, romance and characters in her stories and this series doesn’t disappoint. There are a lot of characters to keep track of but I think it’s helpful that the story is told from a single POV so as Ella learns about the people around her you the reader do as well. To me, that helps ease the confusion. The story is well thought out and is character driven.
I really don’t want to say much more – this is a hard review to write without spoiling the story. If you are a fan of this author this series is a must read and Demand is a perfect second book. Now I have to wait patiently for the next chapter.
