Systematic Siege Box Set: Parts 1-3

by N. Isabelle Blanco

***INCLUDES THE FIRST 2 CHAPTERS OF SYSTEMATIC SIEGE PART 4***

Part 1:

Life separated us.

Destiny tied me to her.

Obsession drove me mad.

I knew they all hurt her. What I didn’t understand is how deep . . .

Seven years ago, they ripped her from me—my father. The friends I made at school. Jealousy drove all of those bastards into conspiring against us.

And they won.

I almost killed myself after losing her.

Now I live for only three

I will destroy everyone who hurt her.

I will find her.

I’ll become the biggest monster ever known to accomplish those things.

I’m at the head of my father’s empire now. A corporate king. I’m ready to finally put in place the plan I’ve been working on for years.

I’m ready to find my Lexi.

What I didn’t realize is that she had already found me.

Part 2:

How far are you willing to go for revenge?

I’ve agreed to enter one cesspit of bullsh*t, just to escape another much worse.

But that’s okay. As a matter of fact, I’m more than ready to deal with the consequences. After all, using one enemy to destroy another is just what I need to right all the wrongs in my life.

Or so I thought . . . until I hear Andrew Drevlow’s voice roaring my name and realize one cruel

I’m not over him.

I never was.

Are you willing to destroy yourself in the name of payback?

My path is set. I have no choice but to go through with my plan. I can’t allow myself to be swayed just because I’m still attracted to a man.

The same man that once betrayed me.

The same man that once fooled me and humiliated me for his own entertainment.

The same man that sets my soul on fire.

That doesn’t matter. I’ll use him.

And when I’m through with him, there will be nothing left of the man he once was.

Part 3:

How far are you willing to go for the one you love?

I finally have her back.

She’s no longer the same girl I once knew.

Shattered, ruined, her sad eyes tear me apart every time she stares at me.

I know who hurt her the most. She won’t tell me; she doesn’t have to. I know.

Seven years of waiting for an excuse to destroy Stephen Menahan, and now I have one of the best reasons I could have ever been given.

Are you willing to destroy yourself to get them back?

It doesn’t take long for me to realize that I don’t just have to fight to win Lexi’s forgiveness—I have to fight to help put my girl back together.

Menahan deserves to suffer.

Menahan deserves to die.

I’m coming for him, one systematic move at a time. I’m going to deliver my girl the vengeance she deserves.

The vengeance we both deserve.

And that starts with ending Menahan’s best friend, his constant ally in crime.

First on my list?

Barnard Wellington. A man that was once my best friend as well.

And I know exactly how I’m going to kill him.

[Anne E ♡ emo + OTT Hs · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cliffhanger ending. This boxset only contains 1-3 out of 5 & are basically just teasers. I recommend reading book1 & then skipping to the last book (book5 Mortal Siege) to get H&h's full story.

2.5-star overall

Book1 (1.5-star) is meandering with only H's POV about that 1 night he & h got intimate (kissing, touching, oralling) and the next day, when a secretly-recorded video of the 2 of them from the night before was blasted all over their high school. Lots of back & forth from present & 7 years ago. More lust-filled than love. Lots of plotline gaps so hard to engage with their romance

Books 2 & 3 (3-stars each) are better-written. Many teasers of what happened 7 years ago but still no clear story. We know more about what H went through (i.e., alcohol/drug use, rehab, suicide attempts) than h. h was raped by OM but not much more about that. Good sexual & emotional tension. Hot foreplay scenes between H&h but they still haven't had sex yet.

Cliffhanger ending with H killing OM's sidekick as a way to draw out OM & for revenge for sidekick's part in hurting h 7 years ago.

WOW I am so happy I have this as the set - these serials are super quick to read and so full of goodness I can't even begin to think of how to review without spoiling !! Each piece ends with a bang and the next starts where it left off. You get answers to questions and stories from the past BUT will we ever get the resolve both Drew and Lexi need and deserve ??

Part 1 -
I love this story already because Drew and Lexi knew each other as kids and had a deep connection that they both cherished and someone sought out to ruin. Drew is now running his father's company and finally hoping to find his girl and get his revenge. Little does he know the reunion may happen sooner than later AND it may not be as easy and sweet as he expects. Lexi may have never forgotten Drew BUT what she has harboured all these years may not be the same love Drew has felt.

Part 2 -
So now we know Lexi's piece of the story - sorry Drew - you may find out at some point !! It is obvious the chemistry is still there but can they get past their past together and apart to finally come together and have happiness. Lexi wants revenge as does Drew but can they achieve that without total honesty ?? Drew's thoughts drive me crazy , he is super hot and dirty !! I am glad that Lexi is weak for him !! The further we get into the story the more twisted it becomes.

Part 3 -
Drew is attempting to make up for his mistakes AND get his revenge all in the same breath. Can he get the truth from Lexi and can they get on the same page ?? The people in their past are ruthless and I feel for Lexi because she has suffered through so much only to find a lot of what she thought wasn't even true. I feel lucky to have these parts all together so I can fly through and not be left hanging !! Each part leaves you wanting more and I am nervous to see what part 4 brings.

4 stars for each part and 5 stars as a whole !!

Book 1
I NEED MORE. Andrew is now the head of his fathers company and he wants revenge. Lexi was his best friend a girl that meant more to him the anything and anyone, a girl that he truly loved, until one night she was taken away. We see flash backs of what happen with Lexi & Andrew, you feel how much Andrew loves her and still does and will do anything to find her but he won't have to look to far. What happens after all those years when they finally reunite? I can't wait to see what happens next with Lexi & Andrew

Book 2
We finally see why Lexi wants revenge not only on Andrew but Stephen as well. But once they see each other both of their feelings are still there. What Lexi went through and still struggling with, you can't blame her for wanting revenge. But she really don't know what happen or why Andrew did what he did. I can't wait to read what happens next, especially with Andrew and Lexi and I'm hoping that Stephen get what's coming to him. Really great series that has you wanting more

Book 3
I'm so addicted to this series. Andrew finally has Lexi and will do everything to make everything right. Lexi wants to believe that Andrew didn't wrong her all those years ago. The chemistry is still there between Andrew & Lexi and when they are together it ignites. We learn more about their past and Andrew is a man who will do anything for the woman he loves. I can't wait to read what happens next.

4.1 stars

Sweet holy hell... This series is layered with deception, sexual tension, and suspense. It's written with the intent to go at a very fast pace. There were moments I wanted it to slow down so I could savor the multiple layers that the premise was founded on. That was my biggest issue with this series. It wasn't enough to not like the story, but was just enough to frustrate me.

I'm looking forward to part 4.

This pool was very exciting. I love the two main characters. I can't wait to get book 4 to see how everything turns out. I'll be waiting for my copy with bated breathe.

[Diane Jagels · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has it all. Love ,hate ,blackmail ,revenge. It kept me on the edge of my seat. What a great read !!! I cannot wait for the next book.

[S08H (Morelli)]

Read the first 9 chapters and I gave up. Damn!!'n I'm just yearning for a juicy, authentic, angst ridden, plot filled, mafia genre novel. I haven't read an enjoyable one in about 6 months, I think. And y'all know I'm mad for mafia/the mob stories.
