Ratings and reviews

Wow what an epic book! I found myself riveted from start to finish. Of all the books in this series, this was the one I have been anticipating the most. There is just something about Drew Lawless that intrigued me and had me anxious to read his story and boy, what a story it is. This book was amazing, so much drama and suspense, it had me on the edge of my seat. I kept thinking to myself, just one more chapter and in the end I read all night. To fully get enjoyment and appreciate the suspense and brilliance to this story line you need to read the first two books in the series prior to reading Revenge. Revenge picks up where Satisfaction left off and tells the continuing story of The Lawless brothers Riley, Drew, Brandon, and their sister Mia, as they seek revenge on those they hold responsible for their parents’ murders 20 years ago. Andrew “Drew” Lawless has devoted his life to finding those responsible for the deaths of his parents; determined that they will be brought to justice. Strong, loyal, determined and passionate Drew is also lonely and vulnerable. Enter Shelby Gates, an investigative reporter determined to expose all the secrets of the reclusive Lawless family. Drew despite his misgivings knows that he needs her help if his plans for revenge are going to work. When he convinces Shelby into signing a NDA and working with him, Shelby agrees in exchange for the rights to write a book. Neither Drew otr Shelby count on the attraction and feelings that develop between them. Both are lonely souls who are drawn to each other. I loved how Shelby was able to handle Drew. This is a hard review to write as I do not want to accidentally spillll any spoilers. The chemistry between Drew and Shelby was sizzling. There was mystery, intrigue, suspense, hot alpha men and as you can expect from most books from Ms. Blake some moments of humour. I love Lexi Blake’s writing style; no one does romantic suspense like she does. I found myself shaking my head as I read Revenge as it is one of those books that in many parts, you read and go, wait, no, did that really happen?

Drew just about broke my heart! I mean, he did some not so smart things, but he had so many emotions he didn’t know what to do with. He also did so many things with such good intentions, just poor execution. He was so lucky his siblings knew him and loved him. Now, Shelby took a while to catch on to the workings of the mind of Drew Lawless, and even then, he tripped her up a few times. Watching Drew and Shelby pull it all together in the end was simply so satisfying!

Definitely my favorite book of the series!!! We get answers to everything we've wondered from the beginning, and all starring my favorite Lawless, Drew. He's the perfect combination of broody alpha and complete nerd. And Shelby is PERFECT for him. She doesn't let him get away with anything, and the chemistry between these two is intense. There are twists and turns in this book, and Lexi Blake pulls out all the stops in this romantic suspense. A fantastic addition to this series!! I would definitely recommend one clicking!!!
