Publisher's summary

The first in a sexy contemporary romance series from New York Times best-selling author Lexi Blake.

Riley Lawless believes the CEO of StratCast orchestrated his parents' murder 20 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.

Fell flat

I have downloaded this twice before and could only get through 1 chapter of the narration both times. I finally forced myself to listen because I am finally listening to all of Lexi’s book in suggested reading order. I have to say I am disappointed that the narrator does not match the storyline and that the usual balance of humor and drama were missing.

Good book, Bad narration

I think this girl thinks she is reading a childrens book in a library.
which is creepy when she is using adult words
narration makes this book creepy
worth reading but dont listen to it.

Bad narration

Love all of Lexi’s books. This narrator is awful for this series. I wish they’d start over with a new narrator

Great characters and story

A friend put me on to this. I took a chance and I'm glad I did. Really good story, with just about as many plot twists as you can handle when you're totally into the characters. The narration was very sensitive and smart. Totally recommended.

decent book

decent book made barely tolerable by a bad narrator. Coulda, shoulda, woulda been better. Sad

Horrible Narrator!

I really love Lexi Blake books, but this one took me forever to finish. The narrator made the book very hard to listen to. She is not a good fit for Lexi Blake books. She made a great book boring.

Overall review

Good plot good story but the performance has made the story seem like a long dragging effect. Narrator has a monotonous voice that doesn’t give the depth of the characters within. hard to sit and listen to her for a long time makes you want to go to sleep Leaving the listener impatient and wanting the story to get going. Seam like the performance makes the character without expression make them all like little weak-less people.

Great Start to an amazing series!!!

This is book one in this new series by Lexi Blake although we do get a McKay-Taggert which come from the Masters & Mercenaries series, and I was on the edge of my seat for most of this one.

I loved Riley and Ellie together. The fact that she was able to change how Riley thinks had me swooning.

In this book we get the story of why the Lawless siblings are who they are and some of the mystery is solved but in that solution we get an even deeper mystery and new secrets.

The players change and love is found.

I highly recommend this book!!!

Excellent book. Not good narration

This book is so good but the narration just doesn’t work. No offense to the narrator. She may work for other books - just not this series.

My advice - listen to the sample. If you think you can tolerate the voice, absolutely buy it. Excellent story and writing.

LOVED the story and narrator

Awesome story and narrator. I luv narrator Alexandra Shawnee. She makes everything really feel real and exciting. This was a great story and kept me really entertained through a long road trip!
