The blurb had me enraptured. Being a big fan of twisty, romantic suspense titles, this revenge-based plot turned into love held much appeal for me. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed the underlying story of corporate espionage, the “ruthless” tactics for both taking over and taking back a company, and the suspense around a mysterious fourth person involved in the murder plot, I just didn’t feel the romance. In particular, I felt like it held too much of an insta-love feel for me. How a man, and later his brothers, who had lived their whole lives to seek their revenge for their parents’ death (and the takeover of their business), could do a 180 so quickly, and actually become the champions and protectors of their parents’ killers’ daughter, just didn’t convince me. Additionally, while the narration was decent, it also didn’t particularly make me feel the emotion of the story. All that said, I recognize that this story has been a hit for many others, so it just may be a case of the wrong time for me to have listened to this story as it came on the heels of another audiobook that was absolutely splendid in its slow reveal and development of the romantic relationship between the hero and heroine, and where I really could feel the connection laid between the hero and heroine before the pronouncements of undying love. Riley, Drew, Brandon, and Mia Lawless (yes, that’s actually their last name!) have been waiting for twenty years to exact their revenge on the people who ordered their parents’ deaths in order to steal their ownership of a company that was built on a software program that their father developed. Following their parents’ deaths, they were forced to live in foster homes and orphanages (some better than others), and their lives completely changed. But the siblings persevered and today Riley (our hero) is a corporate lawyer and Drew, the oldest brother, is a well-known business titan. The Lawless siblings plan to use their hard-earned success primarily for one goal: to avenge their parents’ deaths and regain control of the company that is rightfully theirs.

The first in a sexy contemporary romance series from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake. Riley Lawless believes the CEO of StratCast orchestrated his parents' murder twenty years ago to steal his father's software program. And there's only one way he can find some solid evidence-and wreak his vengeance. Heir to the StratCast legacy, Ellie Stratton hires a new attorney to handle a delicate business matter-and she's shocked by her attraction to him. Over the course of a few weeks, Riley becomes her lover, her friend, her everything. But when her life is threatened, Ellie discovers that Riley is more obsessed with settling an old score than in the love she thought they were building. And Riley must choose between a revenge he's prepared for all his life and the woman he's sure he can't live without. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Riley's family was amazing. They were protective over each other, and they had that bound, which was so amazing to read. I loved Brann and Drew (I love Riley as well).
The story... I don't even know what I think about the story. I hated this piece-of-shit-Steven and
Ellie - probably this is one of the few heroines I don't like. She was way too insecure, way too naive and the most frustrating thing to read was when
Riley - I loved him. Amazing character. He had a bad past, but he changed for Ellie and wanted to become a better version of himself. I like that. I loved that he chose Ellie over vengeance, and he stayed to her side even when they weren't together, even when she didn't trust him and (she) thought he was playing games. He was so loyal to her and to his family and that really melted my heart.
The End was good. It had HEA, but it unveils the story in the next book.
