Systematic Siege #3

by N. Isabelle Blanco

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 3 out of 5]

Cliffhanger ending. Not safe (detailed rape by OM).

***SPOILERS***
Writing was smoother & easier to follow than book1. Back & forth from the past & present with dual POVs. h's POV was revenge-filled & conflicted for her new-boss 25yo H, who just took over his recently-deceased father's company. She doesn't trust his desperate obsession to make things right for her & his “mine” claims 7 years after she left, after hearing his confession to publicly humiliate her with his 3 friends (OM, OM's sidekick, & H's ex-GF) by leaking the almost-sex video of him & her making out that 1 night. She accepts H's help to bring down OM, who raped her & whose company she was forced to work for the last few years. H's POV has more angsty as we get more info of his suicidal past, after h left him 7 years ago. And his trying to win her back & keep her with him this time. But he's treading with caution as he realizes that h was raped by OM & her mom's sickness is tied to OM somehow. Hot foreplay scenes between H&h but still no actual sex. Didn't like quick flashback-type details of h being raped by OM.

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.

Literally, took my breath away multiple times. The writing is superb! Whoa. Just whoa!

"Finn and I exchange a look and I turn the ignition, wondering what the f#%k we’re about to get into. Whatever it is, I don’t give a f#%k. I’ve already gone to hell for Lexi. I don’t mind going deeper than that."

I loved seeing the darker side of Andrew. A man willing to anything to his revenge. Beyond hot!!!

From a maddening eroticism right on the first pages to twisted conspiracies, this continuation of the impossible and angry love between Andrew and Lexi is as heart-pounding as ever.

It's written with fire.

Truly, the words are heavy with rich and rabid emotions for all the pain, betrayals and vengeance that plague the main characters' life.

At last, both are finding out truths about what happened seven years ago to split them apart, and that brings about violence and revenge, but also a tiny light that binds them.

I loved to read this episode in this tumultuous story, but I do hope the next one is in our hands in less time, or I'll despair!

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.

Short and Sexy. Lexi and Andrew once again were fun and dirty. We find out more about their past and how much they truly love each other. Poor Lexi for what she's been through. I do love how Andrew wants to make everything right, he wants to take care of Lexi. I can't wait to read the next installment.

[Marika · Rating 4 out of 5]

Drew is sooo good and so bad at the same time!!! He has a darkness in him that is going to be unleashed the more he finds that Lexi is terrified and something terrible happened to her..even worse than what happened seven years ago.
Lexi is conflicted..between hate and lust for Drew..but things are changing and she is starting to doubt what she's been told.
Argggg..Can't freaking wait for part 4!

[Stephanie (Between the Coverz) · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story picked up where book 2 left off. There is so much conflict between Lexi and Andrew mixed in with an abundance of sexual attraction. You start to learn some of their history and what happened that caused them to split apart and caused the revenge.

This book is part of a series of short stories. I really liked the book however I would have preferred to have the books longer in the series versus having many short stories. (This is just a personal preference however I can see where having short stories is easy to read when you have a few minutes or hour to read). However, I can’t wait to see more from this author. This story will draw you in from book 1 and keep you wanting to know more. I can’t wait for book 4 to come out to see what happens next in this twisted love affair. If you have not read book 1 and 2 then I definitely recommend to go purchase them.

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.
