MY REVIEW
Finally! Drew Lawless isn't just your average hot nerd who build his own company, 4L. I always has soft spot for Drew since his first appearance. He started to plot revenge for his familly. But eventually both his brothers, Riley and Bran met their soulmate on the journey. In the end of Satisfaction, Drew was shocked to found the real culprit. He decided to hide the fact from his family and getting his own revenge.
Drew isn't alone. He's accompanied by his trusted adviser/father figure, Bill Hatchard. Also he bring the fiery red-head crime reporter, Shelby Gates. Acting as a couple wouldn't be a problem since both of them are really attracted to each other. Shelby couldn't fake her feeling towards Drew and she decided to clear Lawless name with some new interesting facts.
I always has soft spot for hot nerd. I kinda liked him at first. He's brilliant and tech god also super HOT (according to some people). Even Shelby easily fallen for him. But Drew is just a plain asshole. His on-off attitude really frustrated me. He is like porcupine; look-but-do-not-touch. It's hard to read his mood. I know he has really bad childhood also trust issue.
Shelby is really strong woman and patiently deal with Drew's bipolar attitude. I kinda admired her. The start was really promising. They're moving on the case that I found it has more depth than before. Slowly scratch the surface. Then, it moves slowly with the romance between Drew and Shelby. Somehow when Drew in romance mode, he turns into super cheese. I liked the chemistry and it feels real. But sometimes Drew ruined the moment.
The new facts that Shelby found was really interesting and almost blindsided me. Ms Blake is never ceases to amaze me with surprises and twists. I think the story itself is great and nicely done. Then, it stretched into some family drama.
Unfortunately, my issues is mainly with Drew and Shelby. As lovely as they're together, I didn't feel the heat or passion with their love. They're just too cool-as-a-cucumber. Maybe not the best, because I feel like Drew is the damsel in distress in this story and Shelby is the prince. He's too busy with his own feeling (reminds me of Kash Kamdar from Arranged in M&M series). Quite disappointing, but overall a great read from Lexi Blake.

... I want to be the reason you need, Shelby. I want to be the only one you want. I’m willing to take the risk that you’ll use me for the time we’re together because I want you that badly. So kiss me because you want to. Kiss me because it’s part of our cover. I don’t care why as long as you kiss me.”

She’d never had a man who could make her do the things he did. She’d thrown off all norms, all societal niceties. They didn’t matter because Drew Lawless was such a brooding hottie that her panties melted off and her body spread wide the minute she knew he needed her.
