Excerpt
Shelby brushed her lips against his, her whole body seeming to come to life. His lips were soft, his hands tight. He was enveloping her and she was completely defenseless against him.
She wrapped her arms around him as the kiss deepened, and suddenly she didn’t want to play it safe anymore. She’d been in her shell for so long and she wanted to come out of it, wanted to feel again. She dragged her tongue over his lower lip, and it seemed to awaken the beast in Drew.
He took over, the kiss going from sweet to carnal in an instant. His mouth opened, tongue sliding over hers and dominating with strength and a sensuality she’d never come across before. He kissed her long and hard, his hands molding to the curves of her body. Over and over again his tongue danced with hers. Never before had a kiss seemed so effortless. It was like they’d been kissing forever.
For a man who claimed he was socially awkward, he sure could kiss like a god.
It was getting out of hand, but she didn’t care. Nothing mattered except getting more of him. She could feel his cock under her, hardening, lengthening, getting ready for what it was meant to do. He could ease her back against the table, pull off her jeans and panties. It would be incendiary, like a rocket going off, an explosion she couldn’t contain. She could feel herself getting soft and wet and ready for him, as though her body had recognized its natural mate and wasn’t taking no for an answer.
“See, I told you we have chemistry.” His words rumbled along her lips.
She couldn’t argue with him. The world around them seemed hazy and unreal. There was nothing except his touch and scent and the sight of his eyes looking at her like he could eat her up. She knew she should stop him, knew it was getting out of control, but she couldn’t find the will. It had been so damn long since she wanted something she could actually have.
She wanted him.
Shelby let her fingers sink into his hair, drawing him back down. Breakfast could wait. She needed more of him.

However the longer he spends in company with Shelby, the more he's feelings for her deepen. So when her life is threaten, will he continue to put her in harms way or will do the impossible and push her away in order to keep her safe? And more importantly, will Shelby stay and fight for Drew and his family or will she walk away from them forever?
Hot Damn! Lexi delivers another stunning, spellbinding read that captures the reader from page one.
Drew is a complex individual that really never had a childhood since he took it upon himself to be the rock his family needed. He may be a little socially awkward around people but what else would you expect from someone as brilliant and nerdy as him? While those outside his family may see him has cold and distant, his family know how deep his loyalty run and just how big his heart is. There really is nothing he wouldn't do for those he loves the most. If there ever was a hero to swoon for, then Drew would that hero.
I absolutely love the banter between Shelby and Drew. I love how she doesn't let Drew just walk all over, she isn't afraid to fight with him if the occasion calls for it. Drew met his match in Shelby.
Revenge is a thrilling, riveting, page turning book that will keep readers on the edge of their seat guessing what will happen next. There is just the right amount of sexiness that will melt panties and begging for more. The drama that surrounds the family is gripping. And the dynamics of this family will pull at your heartstrings.
I loved all the twists and turns this series took and fell completely head over heals for this family. I would highly recommend this series and advise readers to provide themselves for journey like no other.
