Drew Lawless. Hot geek. Total nerd. Hotness. Secret keeper. Falls for a reporter of all people. Rowena said she knew he would fall for a reporter. Me? I had no clue, but I’m clueless most of the time.

When he was fourteen years old, Drew saved his siblings from certain death. His parents were murdered then he and his brothers and sister were locked in their childhood home after someone started a fire. Drew got everyone out and made it his mission in life to get revenge on the people responsible for killing his parents and almost killing his siblings. It was only at the end of Satisfaction that he realized that he would be going after his own mother.

Drew brings in investigative reporter Shelby Gates. It was Shelby that uncovered that the woman they all thought died in the fire was his mother was in fact the woman his father was having an affair with. Drew is determined to keep the fact that his mother is alive from his siblings and is going to use Shelby to do it. By pretending to be his girlfriend, Drew is certain they can pull anything off. Drew promises to let her write a tell-all book, but never intends to let it see the light of day.

Shelby has been attracted to Drew since she first met him. There is a vulnerability about him that only she seems to see. She’s attracted to the geekiness that surrounds him and totally turned on by his sexiness. It’s a contrast that she can’t turn away from. In addition to all that, he needs her.

Drew and Shelby are perfect for each other. I adored them together. Shelby keeps Drew human. He so often goes into robot mode when he’s not dealing with his family. She also reminds him that he has needs too. He can’t give and give, he has to take as well. And she makes him realize that he can be selfish when it comes to her. But, oh boy. When he shuts down, he shuts down hard. Even Shelby has a hard time facing a closed-off Drew. Drew is used to betrayal and when he thinks someone betrays him, well, run.

I really loved the abrupt change in the story where the mom was alive. I thought it added a fresh new edge to the series. There was more blood (literally) added in this book and I thought it was a good way to go. My favorite book in this series is still Satisfaction, but Drew Lawless could never disappoint.

Rating: 4.25 out of 5.

Great ending for this series! I enjoyed the whole series usually with the last in a series there is almost no care taken by the author to give it the same attention as the other books but not in this case. At the end of Satisfaction there was a plot twist that left me waiting for the next installment and this last in the series delivered with more twists and turns. I loved it all! Great job Lexi Blake you have a new fan in me!

A great ending to this series.   You don't have to read her other related series (Masters & Mercenaries) to enjoy this.   I highly recommend this series to all Romance lovers esp those who like some humor.

If you're looking for a romance series that is thrilling both in and out of the bedroom, Lexi Blake's Lawless series is for you. Revenge is the third installment of the series about the Lawless brother's search to solve the mystery of their parents' murders. It's part thriller, part mystery, and all hot when the eldest Lawless brother Drew enlists investigative journalist Shelby into the mystery and into his bed. This series was so fun and heartfelt. Plus it had a satisfying end to the ongoing series mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

When it comes to Shelby, Drew can be a softie at times, “I know you’re telling me the truth. Don’t think I’m angry with you. I don’t process things properly all the time.” Shelby sure can put Drew through his paces, “we’re in the middle of an argument,” Shelby explained with a huff. “I’m not going to stop being p****d at you because you’re horny. God, you are bad at this.” I loved this book, Drew was fiercely protective and the man realy didnt know what he was walking into woth Shelby, he met his match in her.
