Satisfaction has been on my list of most-anticipated reads ever since I finished reading the Lawless series starter, Ruthless, last year. So, when an actual hard copy of the advanced reader's copy (ARC)--plus a few extra goodies from the author, Lexi Blake--arrived via air mail a couple of months ago, I was an extremely happy camper. Blake gave me everything I was looking and then some. The romance, sex, suspense, and mystery--plus the always intriguing family dynamics among the four Lawless siblings and the appearances of the McKay-Taggert group--were all taken up a notch. Now, not only am I counting the months before I get Revenge in my hands but I'm all curious about the McKay-Taggert characters, whose stories are told in the author's Masters and Mercenaries series, including the romance between Case Taggert and the youngest Lawless and the only sister, Mia. The upcoming third and final novel in the Lawless series has been on my to-be-read list since I stumbled upon it on Goodreads, but after that damn cliffhanger of an ending in Satisfaction, I'm even more antsy to find out how it all finally ends.

The rest of the world may know him now as Brandon Lang, but he will always be Brandon Lawless where it counts. His oldest brother Drew may not have been thrilled with him stepping in as Carly Hendricks's blind date, but Bran wasn't willing to let the innocent personal assistant to one of their personal enemies fall through the cracks simply because they needed to use her for their plans. He had seen how their original plan nearly imploded and took its toll on his other brother Riley and his now-sister-in-law Ellie. Bran wants to try another tact--to be as honest with Carly as possible and get her to agree to help him and his family to gain justice for the deaths of his parents. His honesty even has him admitting just how much he wants Carly in his bed--a truth that she doesn't quite believe, not after having been used by her ex-husband and now being used by her boss. Bran thinks he's too damaged to get the same kind of happily-ever-after his older brother and his sister are now enjoying, but getting as close as possible to Carly makes him wish he could be the man for her...but first they'll have to outwit a new unseen enemy.

At the rate this series is going, don't be surprised if you see it on my year-end list of favorites for 2017. The series story arc regarding the revenge the siblings are looking for is still there, and just like in the first book, another Lawless sibling's perspective shifts when he finds love with "the one". But don't think that Bran is like Riley and Carly like Ellie. This new couple is very different, with Bran having suffered through his own trauma after he and Mia were split up and he was put into foster care. Carly may initially come off as weak, but once you learn the inner workings of her mind and what she's been doing behind the scenes, you'll come to realize that this woman is made of stronger stuff and is a force to be reckoned with. Bran has his demons, ones that he often hides between his easygoing facade, but in order for him to be with someone like Carly, he has to battle through them, and when those demons were exposed, my heart broke for him, as it did for his siblings who truly suffered because of what happened to their parents. That ending though...gah! June can't come fast enough! Five-plus stars for Satisfaction. ♥

Satisfaction is the second book in the Lawless series. I had quite enjoyed myself while reading Ruthless so I was looking forward to Satisfaction. It definitely doesn't hurt that Lexi Blake is a really good author with engaging writing. I'm also quite invested in the Lawless siblings and their quest for revenge so I was curious to see how Brandon's story would go.

Okay, so Brandon is a man on a mission. He and his siblings need to get more information to clear their father's name. After the revelations in the last book, one of their way in is through the enemy's personal assistant. I liked Brandon. He was truly broken in his own way. These Lawless siblings have had a rough childhood and each one is messed up in his own way. But I liked how Brandon was so protective of Carly. He was a good man.

Then we have Carly. Carly is innocent and sweet and everything good. She has a horrible ex whose gambling debts get her in trouble. Her boss holds her on a leash and is blackmailing her. But in spite of these awful circumstances Carly has learnt to cope. She still has an optimistic view in life and all she wants is for someone to love her for who she is.

I liked the bond Carly and Brandon shared. They had chemistry but more than that they were straight with each other right from the beginning. I liked how Carly took care of Brandon. He was in desperate need of affection and a soft touch. In return Brandon was protective of Carly. Brandon was one of those heroes who thought himself to be undeserving but Carly proves him wrong.

I liked seeing all the other Lawless siblings with their better halves in Satisfaction. We also get to see the Taggart-Mackay team and they were a hilarious bunch. Satisfaction was full of action and some twists that I did not see coming. Especially the last one. The story is already brewing between the oldest and most stubborn Lawless sibling- Andrew and Shelby so I can't wait for the next book.

*Note: A copy of this book was provided by the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. We thank them.

Brandon Lawless wasn’t the brother I was dying to read about when I finished the first book. However, there were so many feelings under the surface with him that got me to care about his character.

He takes on the task of seducing Carly, the assistant to one of their revenge plot targets. Carly has had it rough as of late. Recently divorced from a con of a husband. Forced to work for her bitch boss. And lacking self esteem because she sees herself as not good enough for someone as good looking as Brandon to take real interest in.

Their dynamic was a lot of fun. She was no push-over when it counted and I liked that about her. They definitely had a lot of chemistry in and out of the bedroom.

Overall, they were both likeable even though not my favorite characters in the series. What I’m still dying to see is Drew fall to his knees.

4 Stars!

The story has laughs, and heartbreak.

I would recommend reading the below before reading this story:
Ruthless (Lawless, #1)

This is Carly and Brandon’s story. Brandon will do anything to solve his parent’s murder. He approaches Carly who works for someone that is linked to the murder. Can he get her to help him with the investigation? Will he get her help or will he have to seduce the fact out of her? Can he trust in what she tells him? What happens when danger surrounds them? Will he step up to protect her? Can he protect her? Or will the investigation take its toll on anything they might have had?

I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I recommend this book.

I was excited to read this one since I enjoyed the first book.Unfortunately in Satisfaction even though I loved the story I had a problem with the heroine.
I really tried to like Carly but her behavior and the fact that She complained all the time,make me frustrated .
I love the twist in the story and I'm excited for the next book!_

4.5 Suspense filled stars

Good heavens I am totally obsessed with this series. The Lawless siblings quest to discover the truth behind their parents’ murder and to clear their father’s name continues in Satisfaction and once again Lexi Blake reeled me into her tangled web of secrets, lies and deceptions. With a plot masterfully filled with suspense, twists and loads of passion, I could not put Brandon and Carly’s romance down. It was a satisfyingly juicy and steamy read.

Following the story line we met all the Lawless children, how they were left orphaned years ago and their need for justice. Satisfaction is Brandon’s story - the younger brother riddled with fears who felt unworthy of being loved. Left on his own for so many years, he barely survived the cruelty of the foster care system. Bran’s past was heartbreaking and I couldn’t help but fall for his character even more. Seeing his childhood traumas, I understood his need to protect ‘damsels in distress’ and his constant struggle to become a man his family could rely on.

The next stage of their grand plan is to unearth information guarded by one of the family’s enemies, Patricia (TV personality and their father’s former partner). Carly, Patricia’s mousy personal assistant is the key to getting the information. It’s up to Bran to convince her to cooperate by using any means necessary. But Bran could not bring himself to be deceitful, and I loved how honest he was with Carly from the beginning. She had her own troubles to contend with, and Bran immediately recognized her vulnerabilities. As a result, a deal was struck – Carly will help Bran, as he offers her protection against the thugs who threatened her life. Along the way, they discover there is more to their relationship. There’s an electrical spark, an undeniable attraction between the two that could no longer be ignored.

Bran and Carly were perfect together. Both insecure and hopelessly struggling against personal demons, their blossoming relationship led them on a path to discover not only love, but also the potential to build trust and confidence. The chemistry they shared was HOT. Brandon was just as sexy as he was sweet - a true and honest hero that I could not help but adore. Satisfaction was an intense roller-coaster ride with a cliffhanger of an ending that had me screaming for more. This is a great series that I highly recommend to lovers of steamy romantic suspense novels. Now my wait begins for the final Lawless saga, Revenge.

Shadow's review:

When Brandon Lawless decides to strike out on his own to help his siblings take down his parents’ killers, he decides he isn’t going to be as ruthless as his brother Drew. When he picks someone to help break down Patricia Cain, he is honest about it. He targets her assistant, Carly Hendricks.
Carly has her own reasons for participating in the effort to bring her boss to justice. Cain is blackmailing Carly to stay on as her assistant by threatening her younger sister.
As Brandon begins working to discover Cain’s secret, he learns the biggest one is that Cain needs Carly in ways no one knows. It is Carly who makes things happen behind the scenes and on-screen and who does most of the work for the hostess. But when Carly is almost killed, the stakes become higher-and the question of whether or not Carly or Cain was the target means the entire effort is in jeopardy and Brandon discovers he has lost his heart to the beautiful woman with whom he is working. Can he and Carly find a way to ferret out Cain’s secrets while staying safe-especially with Cain’s stepson hoping Carly will sign on with him for a show of her own?
Carly is delightful. Capable, caring, and conscientious, she looks toward the future regardless of the struggles of her past. Brandon, in turn, learns from her that there is more to life than the desire for vengeance-and that with help, the past can remain behind, instead of scarring the future.
Expect some hot sex and some interesting plot twists and turns-as well as a set up for the third book in the series.
As always, author Lexi Blake focuses on the fact that family is not necessarily about blood relatives, but it is what you make it. Carly’s conversation with Ian Taggert is illuminating-and sidesplitting funny. Overall, this is a jewel in the author’s crown of contemporary romances.

Divorce is never easy, but finding out you have been duped out of pretty much everything is even worse. It crushes your faith in others. Making the attention from another a bit unbelievable. For Carly Hendricks – attracting the attention of Bran Lawless seems to be too good to be true. Things are about to get even more interesting where Bran is concerned. A plan involving Bran and his siblings is dropped in Carly’s lap, and a decision will change how things in her life proceed from that point forward.

Working for someone that is so vindictive has certainly taken a toll on Carly over the years. Just when the end is in sight, Carly’s boss pulls her back in with a little blackmail. How can this even be happening? When Bran approaches Carly with his plan, she decides that teaming up with the Lawless sibling has to be better than the predicament she is currently experiencing. So – a plan is made. Now – the question is can they pull it off?

As Bran and Carly begin to spend more time together, sparks begin to fly. Carly is thrust into a life that is made more difficult by her ex-husband. Something Bran is determined to protect her from. However – Bran’s insecurities from his own tattered past rear their ugly head. Proving that a future with Carly might not be in the cards. With danger lurking all around the couple, both find themselves in harms way. How will it all play out? Will Carly become a casualty of this long and sordid mystery. Only time will tell if the Lawless siblings will received the vengeance that they have fought so hard for.

An attraction…..a plot for revenge…and two tattered souls that are pulled together…..all of it combines within the pages of Satisfaction. This is the second installment in the Lawless series. I have been (im)patiently waiting on Brandon’s story. So – I dove into this one feet first!!

Bran and Carly are quite the couple. First being introduced in a way that would make most people run for the hills. Their romance a spark amongst a sea of corruption. As the layers to the Lawless saga began to unfold, more of Bran and Carly’s hesitations began to come to light. Each character had to learn the value of trust and strength. A roller coaster ride will unfold throughout the story. Providing more clarity into the mysteries surrounding the death of Bran’s parents. Just like the last story….I loved each and every moment!! I have no clue what to expect in Revenge….but I can’t wait to discover all of the secrets!!

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with all things Lexi Blake, and ever since I first met the Lawless siblings in Master No, I’ve been eagerly anticipating their story. Suffice it to say, I was utterly hooked from book one. Ruthless sets off the series with Riley’s story. Mia’s story was a crossover in Dominance Never Dies. If you haven’t yet read the Masters and Mercenaries series by Lexi, you’re seriously missing out. But as always, I digress…
Satisfaction brings the story of the broken Lawless sibling, Brandon. We got a peak into his hidden demons in the first book; Bran has a hero complex a mile long, but you don’t know why. You know it stems from an event in his childhood which left him forever scarred, but you don’t know what. All we know is that if there’s a damsel in distress somewhere, whether stripper or hooker, odds are, Bran is right there trying to help her. He’s also the sibling that seems to hide the most scars from his past. When the Lawless siblings were torn apart and thrown into the system after their parents’ death, Bran took the brunt of the luck and barely aged out of it intact. Now he fights his demons with his fist and a barely repressed anger and a violence that quickly boils sits below the surface.
Watching the pain his brother’s now wife went through in their quest for revenge, he’ll be damned if he does that to another woman. So when the Lawless siblings set their sights on Patricia, the 3rd partner that they suspect was behind their parents murder, Bran breaks the plan and unveils the plan to Patricia’s assistant who they hope will be the person that helps them bring her down.
Carly Hendricks is coming off of a brutal divorce during which her husband took her for everything. A shy little mouse, her barely existing confidence took a real beating and she has a hard time understanding how a sexy man like Bran could hold even the slightest bit of interest in her. What begins then is a game of push and pull. Bran wants her, but he’s not good enough for her. Carly wants him, but doesn’t think he wants mousy little her.
As much as I loved the first book in this series, I’m a little bummed that this one paled in comparison. I think my main issue was the couple. I felt zero connection to either Carly or Bran. While I liked Bran as a character, I just had a hard time disconnecting his hero complex from his true feelings for Carly. She was just too much of the stereotype that he would typically try to rescue, so I suppose I had as hard a time as Carly really buying his love for her.
Carly was just too much of a mouse for me. While she does have a backbone that comes out later in the story and I could certainly sympathize with and understand her lack of self esteem, her constant questioning of her appeal wore me down. She was a heroine that unfortunately I’d forget about as soon as I read her. As a couple, they lacked a certain sizzle for me. Sure the sex was hot, but I just couldn’t click with their connection.
I found the suspense a bit boring at times too. The beginning and middle sort of dragged if I’m being honest. What DID keep my attention, as always, was Drew. And it didn’t hurt that his love interest is introduced here and boy does that set up already crackle with sexual tension. There’s a twist at the end that I never saw coming, which definitely added a great punch to the story. I can’t wait to see how everything concludes with Drew’s book next.
All in all, while it wasn’t my favorite in the series, the book at least helped tide me over until my next Lexi Blake fix.

As much as I loved the first book, this one kind of fell a bit short for me. I loved the plot of this series, it's different, it's revenge done for a family by a family and yes the couple is super hot. I just found this one hard to get into. I started and stopped this book many times and had to really force myself to get into it.

I found Bran rather odd, he has a lot of self doubt and self hatred, he always feels subpar to his family he is like a teenager and the whole always wanting to help the women he sleeps with. I just feel he had a lot of issues that seemed to pop up here and there. Personally it wasn't my cup of tea.

That being said, I am super eager to see how Drew and Shelby get it together and how much trouble they stir up together haha.

I couldn't finish this book. It started out okay but I wasn't into the whole plot thing.

Once again, Lexi Blake continues to deliver a sexy, tantalizing romantic suspense that will be sure to have readers begging for more of the Lawless siblings. In this second installment, Lexi picks off where she last left off in the last book and throws readers into another gauntlet of excitement, scandal, and new revelations as the Lawless siblings brings forth into light as to what really happened to their parent’s death. The hunt for revenge and justice is on and this time it is up to the elusive brother, Brandon Lawless to discover the truth and find the Satisfaction his and siblings are after for.

Brandon Lawless had one mission and objective only. Clear his father’s name. The target was marked and it is up to Brandon to persuade the enemy’s personal assistant to help him and his siblings get the justice and answers they need.

"Carly Fisher might deny it, but she wanted a man who would be a true partner, who would help her. She was alone and the man who convinced her she didn’t have to be would win her over. She would be loyal to that man, follow him wherever he went. He couldn’t be that man, but he could find a mutual satisfaction between them. He could help her. She could help him and then they would go their separate ways, better for having known each other.”

Carly Hendricks hates her job. Well, technically she hates that she works for a manipulative lady who will stop at nothing to be on top. She knows her boss is ruthless but she can’t quit because of her boss’s threat on her sister. And so when Brandon approaches Carly for help, she soon finds herself working with him and giving him the inside scoop. What was supposed to be an easy mission turns out to be a whole mess of complications especially when Brandon finds himself falling hard for Carly. Will Carly be able to help Brandon find the truth and justice that he is seeking for? Or will an unforeseen turn of events makes this revenge much harder for the Lawless siblings?

Satisfaction was a sizzling, fast paced romantic suspense that will be sure to satisfy any Lexi Blake fans as the writing was clean and engaging. With a multitude of action and unfolding of revelations, readers will be devouring this book in one sitting as Brandon Lawless will leave you hungrily satisfied with his strong sexual appeal. So if you are looking for a steamy romantic suspense that will take you on a wild ride then I would recommend you to read this series as I can’t wait to see what is in store for Drew.

The Lawless family members Mia, Drew, Riley and Brandon were introduced in the Masters and Mercenaries series story Dominance Never Dies, and their quest for vengeance for the murder of their parents and ruination of their lives is the focus of the Lawless series. The first steps were taken in Ruthless featuring Riley, and now Brandon is up in Satisfaction as they execute the next step in eldest brother Drew’s master plan.

I realized in Ruthless that Bran is the lovable softhearted member of the family, but he was badly emotionally wounded by his childhood for reasons unknown at that point. Satisfaction eventually reveals exactly how bad it got for him once he was placed in the foster care system and taken away from his sister Mia, but suffice it to say it has led to Bran’s cultivation of a healthy White Knight syndrome in adulthood. He has done everything that Drew has asked of him so far to further their plans, but when he spots Drew’s next target to help bring down one of their father’s former business partners, Bran quickly steps in to avoid Drew completely screwing up their plans.

Carly’s childhood was no barrel of laughs either but at least she had her sister Meri to help her get by, and it is her love for her sister that has her between a rock and a hard place now. Carly married her first boyfriend and had dreams of finding happiness away from the trailer park, but happiness soon faded under the weight of cheating and betrayal. Several years, a divorce and one jail sentence for her ex later, Carly finds herself still stuck under the thumb of her narcissistic ice queen of a boss who is blackmailing her and using her sister for leverage to maintain control over her. Where Drew’s calculating mind sees an easy target for manipulation, Bran sees a beautiful woman stuck in a bad situation who still has an air of innocence about her. When he approaches her to ask for her help, his brother wonders if Bran is making another attempt at being a savior but Bran is actually far more intrigued by Carly than he lets on.

Satisfaction has plenty of twists and turns, intrigue, suspicion and surprises as Carly and Bran work together to find a way to accomplish Drew’s goals and bring down Carly’s boss. They have a natural chemistry that doesn’t take long to combust, and their scenes together were oh so yummy! He doesn’t expect his past to come roaring back at the most inconvenient times to affect his equilibrium though. He manages to scare the hell out of both Carly and his family, and if he can’t find a way to deal with his memories, he may lose everything all over again. He feels unworthy of the love of a good woman, and he needs to find an outlet or resolution to his lingering resentment and anger issues. Bran and Carly fit well together as she helps smooth those rough edges and his attention helps her regain her confidence, but when the ultimate test is thrown at them, will they find the strength in each other to come out the other side walking the same path or will they go separate ways?

Of course there had to be a spectacular jaw-dropping development in the closing paragraphs, and now I can’t wait see what happens in Drew’s book! Family friend and mentor Hatch still worries me though as I can’t seem to trust him as completely as Drew does. Speaking of Drew, I am so looking forward to watching him fall for a woman and I think we have been shown exactly who will bring him to his knees metaphorically. He is a bit of a nerd by his own admission with extreme intelligence and focus, but that laser focus on revenge has left him a bit stunted in other areas. He doesn’t easily grasp the idiosyncrasies and nuances of human behavior and emotion so he can come across as very cold and calculating or robotic at times so far. He showed glimpses of progress in this story though and I am betting his book will be an amazing ride! In the meantime, be sure to check out both Ruthless and Satisfaction.

What I really liked about this book is it could have been a carbon copy of the previous book in this series, but it wasn't. This book was just as captivating but took you down a new rabbit hole. The story makes more sense if you've read Ruthless, the first book in this series, but I'm not sure it's required in order to enjoy this book. Brandon and Carly definitely had chemistry and the overall story arc of the Lawless siblings gets significantly moved forward with this book. I will say, I wanted to throw my kindle at the wall when I read the end of this book because, while we did get our happily ever after for Carly and Brandon, we were given a pretty strong hook to make the reader anticipate the next book. Lexi Blake has another hit with Satisfaction and I'm dying for the next book in this series.

OMG Lexi is killing me with this series! Just when you think you have it figured out...boom another twist! This story follows Brandon & Carly and his quest to clear his father’s name!
Great writing and the story holds your attention! This series just gets better and better!!
5+ stars for this book, you must read one, if you haven't started the series grab it today!

OH MY GOD!! What did I just read? Seriously, what was that? Well...I'll tell you what it was. It was a bunch of AMAZINGNESS! Like HOLY CRAP. What a ride! Satisfaction by Lexi Blake is perfection. Bran and Carly are such genuine characters, and their journey is full of swoon-worthy moments, HOT moments, and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants moments. I LOVE IT!

I have to start by discussing Bran because HELLO I WANT TO CUDDLE HIM AND PUT MY LIPS ALL OVER HIM AT THE SAME TIME. That takes talent. I love how respectful he is of Carly. Again, the word genuine comes to mind. He genuinely cares about her on such a deep level, and I find that irresistible. I also find it adorable that Bran blushes when Carly can't stop "kiss and telling" in front of his older brother Drew. I think I literally laughed out loud after reading this scene.

Speaking of Carly, I think she's a great heroine, and the perfect match for Bran. Lexi Blake has a way of writing heroines that are incredibly strong and resilient. The situations she puts her characters through are NOT easy. Even if I was being blackmailed in the same way Carly is, I don't know that I could have hung in there with such grace. I would have gone mad and turned into a blubbering mess. Luckily for us, Carly is the complete opposite of a hot mess. And together, Carly and Bran are lovely. They have sexy hot chemistry, which is really no surprise when it comes to a Lexi Blake book. She's know crank up the heat.

I feel I can only speak to the characters in this book because I really don't want to give anything away. Just know that there is a revelation that will probably (definitely) have your jaw dropping to floor in shock. I just about died when I read this revelation myself! It's crazy...oh-so-crazy, but in the best way possible. And now, I'm more excited for Drew's book than ever!! He needs a woman to give him a good kick in the rear, a smack over the head, and an arrow to the heart! Revenge is sure to knock my socks off!

Satisfaction by Lexi Blake definitely satisfied my craving for more Lawless men! It's another intense, action-packed romance that is sure to keep you up all night, experiencing sheer and unbelievable exhilaration!

*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book*

***ARC Provided by the Publisher and Inkslinger PR***

Yet again, I find myself at the end of a book that I really enjoyed that I can't really tell you about because-spoilers.

Lots of the stupid spoiler things happen in this book. They make for a great book... but a boring review.

So, stuff happens. And there's a "Hold on, WHAT?!?!?" cliffhanger. And some hot sex. That was in there.

Brandon and Carly...well, Bran are great together and the author tells not only a continuation of the murder mystery from the first book but also their romance. It's a little dark, not a lot but a little. And I hot. And emotional. And you will love him. Because he's sweet, and a little damaged, but great for all of that.

The writing is strong. I was mostly good with the pacing but I did think it was a little slow in the middle (hence the 4 stars) but overall I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to the next in the series.

Read this one. I'm glad I did. You will be too... and then we can talk about the spoilers.

4.25 stars--SATISFACTION is the second installment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary, adult LAWLESS romantic, suspense series focusing on the Lawless siblings-Riley, Drew, Brandon and Mia. This is Brandon Lawless, and PA Carly Hendricks’s story line. SATISFACTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion as each installment focuses on revenge and retribution for a twenty year old murder. There is a bit of a cross over/spinoff with Blake’s Masters and Mercenaries series with the appearance and ongoing role for Mia Lawless and Navy SEAL Case Taggart (Dominance Never Dies), and the McKay –Taggart Security Service.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Brandon and Carly) SATISFACTION focuses on revenge against the people believed to have murdered the sibling’s parents. Twenty years earlier Benedict Lawless and his wife Iris were killed in a house fire intended to kill the entire family-a murder for hire where greed and power were the precipitating factors. The authorities ruled it a murder/suicide but the Lawless siblings are determined to clear their father’s name. Fast forward to present day wherein our hero Brandon Lawless, steps out of his comfort zone, and approaches Carly Hendricks hoping for some help with the investigation into his parent’s murder. Carly is the PA to media mogul and reality TV personality Patricia Cain-a woman linked to the Lawless murder, and the potential murder of several other parties. What ensues is the building relationship between Carly and Brandon, and the struggle to protect Carly from her ex-husband’s past.

Brandon Lawless (aka Brandon Lang) is a complex, broken hero. All of the siblings were separated into the foster care system following the death of their parents but Brandon’s experiences were far more traumatic and disturbing than his much luckier brothers and sister. Carly is a woman whose marriage was destroyed by lies and betrayal, and her husband’s past has come back looking for payment and revenge- in more ways than one. Carly Hendricks has issues with low self-esteem that continues to affect our heroine throughout the story-she is a woman who believes she is not worthy of Brandon’s attention.

The relationship between Brandon and Carly is one of immediate attraction although Brandon went against his brother’s orders and revealed his family history to the woman with whom he would fall in love. Carly is a woman scorned; threatened by events of the past; and a woman who wants more from Brandon than he is willing to give. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

All of the Lawless siblings play secondary and supporting roles, as well as Case and Cain Taggart (McKay-Taggart Security), and one of Benedict’s former partners Bill ‘Hatch’ Hatchard-a man who all but raised the Lawless siblings once he was able to determine their foster care history. Once again, I suspect there is a story about Hatch, and his role in the entire family saga; the ‘cliff hanger’ ending reveals a twist to the story that will shock both the reader and the story line characters. We are also introduced to journalist/reporter Shelby Gates-a woman researching the truth behind Patricia Cain’s meteoric rise, and her potential connection to the death of Shelby’s older brother. Shelby and Drew’s story is next in Revenge (June 2017).

The world building continues to focus on the search for the people responsible for the destruction of the Lawless family. Andrew ‘Drew’ Lawless is a man determined to avenge the death of his parents but a surprise ‘cliff hanger’ ending will push the retribution in another direction.

SATISFACTION is a provocative and intriguing tale with an innovative twist to the story line ending. The premise is complex, exciting and intense; the characters are spirited, colorful and inspiring; the romance is dramatic and captivating. SATISFACTION is a passionate look at family, romance, betrayal and revenge.

3.5 STARS!

The Lawless brothers are at it again in their plight to uncover the truth about their parents murder in this second addition to the Lawless Series by Lexi Blake. Satisfaction is Brandon and Carly's story. I didn't connect with Bran and Carley as I did with Riley and Ellie from book 1, but I still enjoyed the story line and all of the secrets that were unraveled. To say that there is a shocking twist at the end, is an understatement! I did not see it coming, and as a result, I can not wait to see where book 3 takes me. I have a feeling that Drew Lawless may just be my favorite!

♥ Review by Lys

I've been waiting for more Bran after reading Ruthless and this story did not disappoint me at all!


The Lawless siblings have been hell bent on seeking revenge after the untimely death of their parents. They have found Patricia Cain, another person who was responsible for their deaths. In order to get close to her they need a connection on the inside and that person is Carly Fisher. Fisher is Cain’s assistant at Cain Corp.


Carly has gotten the short end of the stick lately with her horrible boss and gambler of an ex husband. Just when she thinks everything is looking better it gets worse. Bran seeks out Carly's help and they have an immediate attraction. What I liked about them is that they both have insecurity issues. Yes,Bran has issues due to his upbringing. Out of all the Lawless siblings he's suffered the most while being in the system. He also has a “hero” and “save a damsel in distress” complex. As the story goes on you will find out what happened in his past to make him this way and you can't help but feel for him.


At first you think Carly is mousy and weak but her true colors come out. Girl has some sass on her and I loved how she was able to stand toe to toe with Drew (older brother) and how she was able to push Bran when he needed it. I loved the connection this couple had and how they both helped each other heal. Carly always felt she was “fat” and no guy would really want her and Bran showed her that was completely untrue. I loved how he adored and treated her in this book. The way he worshipped her body. Lord have mercy! Plus the best part was Carly was able to help Bran heal and it was great. No one has been able to get the light back in his eyes and she reached where no one else could. Sighs.


This story hands down was my favorite of the series. There were so many twist and turns and let's talk about that shocker of a ending.Fans of suspense will be thrilled with this series as it keeps you guessing. I, in a million, billion, trillion years DID NOT see that coming at all!!!! I had to read the last chapter over again to make sure I was reading it correctly. I can not wait to see how everything ends in Revenge.
