A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Kyraninse
Fiery, erotic, and rich with plot, this book is definitely a keeper on my shelf.
Lauren Dane successfully pulls off the plot, which could have seemed strained and contrived without a deft hand with detail. I did find it somewhat too pat that Abbie and Roman essentially fell into each other's arms without too much of a struggle considering their positions but Roman's personality and his apparent sincerity for his job carried it off. He didn't appear to be a pushover, and sacrificing his professional integrity either. That took deft handling.
Now I'm definitely looking forward to more books set in this universe, especially that of Sera, Ash, and Brandt.

Book Blurb for Relentless
In this erotic universe, passion knows no rank…
Since the first settlers came through the portals from Earth, fifteen Families have held the rule of the Federated Universes in their hands. There’s never been a better time than now to throw out the old and usher in a new order. Give voice to the unranked. Abbie Haws has spent her life battling the system. A fighter, she’s always been too busy and driven to pay much attention to finding love. But when she’s granted audience with Roman Lyons, the head of House Lyons, who stands for everything she hates, her instant attraction catches Abbie off-guard…
It’s common knowledge that the Known Universe revolves around Ravena—and that Ravena revolves around Roman Lyons, bred to lead since birth. Roman dreads his meeting with a defiant—if stunning—rabble-rouser. But, sometimes, headstrong personalities in the conference room make for hot-and-heavy, guilty trysts in private….
Now, Abbie will show Roman the parts of her world he wouldn’t otherwise get to see. And he’ll give her a glimpse of the Families’ age old tradition and unleash a sexuality he’d never given rein to before.
