Passion and danger collide in the latest contemporary romance featuring the Lawless siblings—from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.

When Drew Lawless discovers a fatal flaw in his plan to avenge his parents’ deaths, he turns to the one woman he'd promised he wouldn't touch. He offers her a deal, one that will bring her into his investigation, his life, and his bed.

Investigative reporter Shelby Gates never dreamed how twisted the case would become—or how fascinated she would be with Drew. Every day they spend together binds them. And every night brings her closer to realizing he might be the man for her.

As Drew's feelings for Shelby grow, so does the danger. From the streets of Dallas to Austin’s high-tech business world, Drew and Shelby play a game begun twenty years before—a game they will win, or die trying. 

I am hooked to the Lawless trilogy so when I received an advance readers copy of Revenge and my year was made especially since I thought Revenge was releasing in 2018.

If you follow this series you know that the Lawless siblings are hell bent on getting revenge on anyone who was involved with their parents murder. In the first two books, justice was more than served so I was pretty excited to read about what else Lexi Blake threw at her characters and of course I was super curious to know more about the oldest brother Drew.

I have been dying, dying, to know more about Drew ever since he was introduced in Ruthless so the fact that he finally got his own book was a blessing.  Drew is controlling and doesn't handle personal relationships good but he was still a great guy; I really liked getting to know how his mind works especially when it came to Shelby.

Shelby was first introduced in Satisfaction as a crime investigator so when Drew needs help taking down his mother he hires Shelby. Shelby is a force of nature, I loved her to pieces, she didn't take any of Drew's crap and didn't run the other way when Drew tried pushing her away. Drew and Shelby were perfect for each other in every way and I'm glad that they found each other.

The Lawless family has my heart and soul, thank you Lexi Blake for writing these characters. I hope this isn't the last book in the series, mainly because a new character was introduced and I really want said person to get their own book but if they don't Revenge was the perfect conclusion to the Lawless series.
