Lisa Renee Jones

Lisa Renee Jones has become a household name since the books from her Inside Out series hit the New York Times and USA Today best sellers list. In the author’s own words the series is a combination of Sex and the City and Fifty Shades of Grey. The main character of the series is the personification of the 21st-century woman, which is why the book has become so popular in a very short period of time.

The best place to start is the Tall, Dark & Deadly series, the earliest of Lisa Renee Jones's multi-book series: it opens with Secrets Exposed (2004) and runs to 6 books across 2004–2013, ending with Beneath the Secrets (2013). Lisa Renee Jones's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.

Lisa Renee Jones has 196 books catalogued in this guide, published between 2004 and 2027. 175 of them belong to 45 named series — the largest being the Inside Out series with 12 books — and 21 are standalone titles, collections or anthologies.
