A Reckless Note (Brilliance Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 1,528 ratings

Book one in the Brilliance Trilogy...

It all started with a note, just a simple note hand written by a woman I didn't know, never even met. But in that note is perhaps every answer to every question I've ever had in my life. And because of that note, I look for her, but find him. I'm drawn to his passion, his talent, a darkness in him that somehow becomes my light, my life. Kace August is rich, powerful, a rockstar of violins, a man who is all tattoos, leather, good looks and talent. He has a wickedly sweet ability to play the violin, seducing audiences worldwide. Now, he’s seducing me. I know he has secrets. I don't care. Because you see, I have secrets, too.

I’m not Aria Alard, as he believes. I’m Aria Stradivari, daughter to Alessandro Stradivari, a musician born from the same blood as the man who created the famous Stradivarius violin. I am as rare as the mere 650 instruments my ancestors created. Instruments worth millions. 650 masterpieces, the brilliance unmatched. 650 reasons to kill. 650 reasons to hide. One reason not to: him.

Aria and Kace - a perfect pair?
5 out of 5 stars
Aria and Kace - a perfect pair?
The first book in the new Brilliance Trilogy Series just knocks it out of the park as it is one spellbinding read reminiscent of author’s The Secret Life of Amy Bensen Series. Aria is on the hunt for her missing brother Gio. In order to search for him, she must reenter a world that she should have stayed away from, that of the elite. However, sometimes life throws a monkey wrench into the best laid plans and fate steps in to meet the one who is in a position to help. Kace is a violin virtuoso who is immediately captivated by Aria and her wealth of knowledge. The two have an intense connection but each one is hiding secrets. How will Aria feel when she learns a truth about the man she is falling for? The story ends in a cliffhanger that leaves more questions that need answers. This is one well written storyline that sucks the reader in from the beginning as one can hear the melody playing throughout each and every page. All I can say is bring on book two ASAP! I volunteered to read a copy of this book and all opinions are my own.

    Color me intrigued and fascinated by A Reckless Note. Lisa Renee Jones sets you up perfectly as to where she wants to take you in this mesmerizing romantic suspense. She gives you a roadmap filled with twists and turns, highs and lows and a few gut punches along the way.

    The search for Aria Alard's brother Gio leads her into the elite, upper crust world of buying and selling treasures, antiquities and pieces of history. Everything comes with a price though and she's caught up in what seems to be more than one web of intrigue. Call it fate, Karma or serendipity, it's in this world she finds Kace August. The wildly talented and successful bad boy rebel with a violin and a smoldering potency about him that leaves no doubts. He want Aria. As Kace nudges Aria towards her truth he seems to intuitively know her beneath the façade. After years of hiding in plain sight maybe it's time for her to live again and make all her own choices but is it really intuition? Because Kace seems to have windows into her past and windows into her soul.

    You need to pick up A Reckless Note. I could not put this one down. You are so drawn in from the start that the world around you just fades off into the background. The mystery behind Aria makes this such a brilliant read. I can't wait to find out more about her as this trilogy goes on. Kace really intrigues me since he too is a bit of a mystery. At one point he makes you wonder who he really is even with his relationship with fan favorites of Chris and Mark. Yes there are several of Lisa Renee Jones favorite characters that make appearances that you will just love. Aria is such a strong female. She knows something is going on that is carrying over from her families past. That is one thing I can't wait to see unravel. I love the chemistry between Kace and Aria. There is such a mystery, so many secrets and danger lurking and It is just the start of a new series. I can't wait to see where Lisa Renee Jones takes us on this ride.

    Aria Alard’s on a quest to find her brother Gio. Aria’s family is the creator of the Stradivarius violin. As a rare Cole tables business owner she finds herself at an auction in the hopes of finding her brother. Instead she meets the genius and prodigal violinist Kace August. Sparks ignite and butterflies swoop when they are in the same room together. Aria can’t explain how Kace keeps bringing her back to her past, but she’s worried that this connection will bring only danger.

    There’s no disputing this cover design is stunning. It’s show stopper. Upon first look I wasn’t sure what to think about this story considering it’s about a violinist. Lisa Renee Jones transported me into a world of wine and violins with alluring words. This was far more entertaining than I expected. With Savannah Peachwood bringing her sexy voice into the mix I was hooked. Since I’m an ears and eyes person needing both the ebook and audiobook to better connect with the story having a good writer and a great performer enhanced my experience.

    Brilliance Trilogy book 1. A Reckless Note is about Aria and Kace. This story is about music and Stradivarius violins. They are tied together by a piece of history sharing space in the same world. It’s a romance with a little mystery mixed in.

    Lisa Rene Jones is an automatic one-click author that I have come to love. Her books have everything I look for; a great story full of suspense, twists, and romance. Her new book, Reckless Note, book one of the Brilliance Trilogy is no exception. By the end of the first chapter, I could not put the book down, staying up to finish it.
    Aria has an innocence about her and I sometimes felt she was among wolves who would hurt her. As she begins to know rock star Kace August, she begins to let her guard down.
    Alert: Aria and Kace’s story ends in a cliffhanger, and thankfully Lisa does not leave her readers hanging for very long. Part two releases August 18 and Part three on September 22.

    A Reckless Note by Lisa Renee Jones has been an amazing read. I am a big fan of The Inside Out series and reading this book It was incredible to read about my favorite characters Sara, Chris, Mark, and Crystal.

    Above all, these new characters Kace and Aria have locked down my heart. Two people that meet each other and instantly connect. She’s hiding secrets and he has his own secret but they are falling hard in love with each other. Oh my heart.

    I love this book and I can not wait to read the next book in this series. Was I a little upset about the cliffhanger? Yes, but I would except nothing less from Lisa Renee Jone.

    Bravo on this wonderful read.

    It took until about Chapter 19 before I could get into it. I liked the story but I didn't like how long it took for somthing to grab my attention. I gave it 5 stars because of the story line and I knew with Lisa that it would eventually get to the parts of the story without all of the descriptive parts. I knew I would need to read to the end of the trilogy just to complete the story.

    I loved the story of Kace and Aria along with all of the twists and turns to know that the love they share is endless.

    This is my second time reading this book and not the last. I love that the stradivariuses are the base for this family and story. The interactions and attractions between variety of main characters inside characters, leaves you wondering what's real and what's not. On to the next book.

    Was hooked on this book from the start and love the story. Characters are fab. Aria has a background she is hiding, and not fully sure why. Kace is a violin rockstar. Their friendship develops into more, then there is the cliffhanger that will leave you gobsmacked
