PERMISSION is the third and final instalment in TM Frazier’s contemporary, adult PERVERSION dark, romance trilogy focusing on seventeen-year old Emma Jean ‘Tricks’ Parish, and twenty-one year old Tristan ‘Grim’ Paine, both products of a failed and compromised foster case system. Although the lead characters are 17 and 21, PERMISSION (and the Perversion Trilogy) should not be considered a YA or NA story line due to the extreme violence and sexual content. PERMISSION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two POSSESSION.
NOTE: If you have not read the previous instalments, there may be some spoilers in my review.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Grim and Tricks) PERMISSION follows in the aftermath of a raid at the Los Muertos compound. Following weeks of torture and abuse at the hands of the Los Muertos gang leader Marcos, our heroine Tricks, thinking she was about to be rescued finds herself the subject of a warrant for accessory to murder. Believing everyone she loves is dead or missing, Tricks will soon come face to face with a past she knew nothing about, a past that will quickly become her present and her future. Knowing Tricks needs some time to adjust to her new found reality, Grim is willing to walk away in the hopes for a happily ever after.
PERMISSION is a story of vengeance and retribution, healing and heartbreak, revelation and second chances. Noticeably lighter than the previous two instalments, PERMISSION explains the how and why of Trick’s foray into the foster care system, and the unlikely relationship between two young girls that continues to present day. Months will pass where the reader is not privy to what happens and why but a rekindling relationship brings with it a promise for so much more. The premise is impassioned; the characters are tragic but healing; the romance continues to grow despite the potential for heartache and pain.
Permission is the conclusion of Grim and Emma Jean’s story, and what an ending it is.
Their love story has been filled with so much darkness, grit and horror, but it’s been a roller coaster ride of epicness. I have loved this series and never wanted it to come to its end. I now want so much to know more about their lives in the future, and to see what happens to the other boys of Bedlam now that the war is over. I have totally fell in love with these characters, ive have had my heart broken and my eyes full of tears while reading about all the bad stuff that life threw at them.
The writing of this book was just so good and the storytelling was absolutely superb. T. M. Frazier is just so amazingly good at creating stories that emotionally grip hold of you, rip your heart out and then gently put the pieces back together again.
This book, this series is just brilliant and would be a great read for anyone that loves a romance with a little darkness but a lot of heart.
I didn’t think this series could get any better but Permission certainly proved me wrong. The plot was so exciting but is fraught with potential spoilers, so I won’t be going into details.
Grim has the heart of a lion, ferocious and determined in his fight to save EJ from whatever forces threaten her survival. He proved, if proof was necessary, just how far he would go for her. He would give her whatever she needed, regardless of the cost. He would quite literally go to war for her. My love for EJ too continues to grow. Ms. Frazier has created the most amazing heroine and I am in awe of her strength and endurance.
The twists and turns throughout were spectacular, breath stealing at times. These, together with some dramatic revelations, took me completely by surprise. Although I felt there was a slight change in pace in this book from the previous ones, for me this was perfect for the growth and progression of the story. Yes there’s violence and bloodshed, drama, loss and heartache, but there’s also friendship and loyalty and forgiveness. Permission is the perfect ending to this trilogy. An emotional, gritty series which at its heart has a love story of epic proportions.
5 Phenomenal Stars!!!
What a ride this trilogy has taken me on. It’s heart stopping with it’s ups and downs and some of the terror I felt from Emma Jean was nearly enough to do me in at times. But I knew I could trust Ms. Frazier to give me a conclusion that would satisfy me and I was 100% correct!!
There were plenty of shocking moments in this final book and oh my goodness I’m fully invested in Grim and Emma Jean’s story. How could I not be when these two truly are perfect for each other. I also love that we got so many answers in this book. Ones I wasn’t sure we would get, but, yet again Ms. Frazier delivered BIG TIME!!
This is a set of three books that now that I have them all, I’ll definitely be doing a re-read so I can read them back to back to back and once again fall in love with our H/h and take their gut-wrenching, soul terrifying at times, ride again. I’m literally unable to concentrate on another book right now that’s how deep I’m in love with these two!!!
When you begin this trilogy make sure you’ve got plenty of time because you’ll want to consume them and definitely won’t come out the same person on the other side!!!

“There’s a certain beauty in death, in witnessing life leave a body. One cycle ends while another begins.”
Permission is about revenge, redemption and unconditional love. A lot happens in this book and I was glued to the pages, not wanting to miss a single thing. The Perversion Trilogy is definitely my new favorite series by T.M. Frazier!
“Stop pointing fingers at yourself, and start pointing guns at others.”
I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect going into this one but let me tell you…I was shocked at the turn of events and sweet little surprises. One part in particular was heartbreaking, which of course made me tear up.
“I’m a monster, but you gave me a heart, and I’m giving it back.”
Tricks and Grim have been through so much and have always stayed strong and brave but in this book we get to witness their characters grow into who they were meant to be. This is a series that I did not want to end. I couldn’t have asked for a better ending for this epic series. I highly recommend this book and this trilogy.
“I’m your possession as much as you are mine. I belong to you. My love. My life. My honor. My loyalty. For always.”

5+ STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
OMG…I have never loved a series so much in my entire life. I was so afraid of where this story was going to go when Possession ended. I’m absolutely not giving anything away. I will say…my heart was made whole and I’ve never loved T.M. Frazier more.
This book was so much more than I could have hoped for. So many things came to light while reading this book. But I still have so many questions. One’s I’m not sure are appropriate to post here. What I will say, is if you are looking for a series that will suck you in and not let go until the end, this series is for you.
I love all books by T.M. Frazier. I have loved her since King and that love continues to grow. If you’ve never read a book by T.M. Frazier this would be a great place to start. I promise you will not be disappointed. Please check out this great book and amazing series. You must start with Perversion and read in order!
5 stars for this book->“Nothing’s Fair in Love and Gang War.”
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” – WINNIE THE POOH. **begin shedding tears here !!!**
Wowza!! I mean there are books and then there are RIDES!! And this trilogy is the Thunderbird of them all!
“Why does it feel like goodbye?”
“Because it is!”
The story is just too racy and thrilling to put down, you HAVE to read it in one sitting, cause you don’t know what’s gonna happen from one page to the next. The exciting adrenaline pumped story ties up so well in the finale book. Too many punches to my heart & far too many tears in my eyes later I’m smiling…..and smiling BIG.
“My life!”
“My death.
My honor.
My loyalty.
For Bedlam.
For Brotherhood.
For Always.”
Tracey is fabulous in creating fictional towns with adorable, larger than life characters and evokes some pretty powerful emotions when dealing with them. The town is Lacking, literally and figuratively, in peace and progress. An ALL OUT war has bloodied the streets and destroyed compounds and families.
“The war has begun, and you, my friend, are at the center of it all”
So the Reservation is the only refuge. Chief David is quite front and center in the story and their lives and Grim needs all the help to rid Lacking of all monsters. And he needs to rip open his own heart if need be!
A ghost from the past makes an appearance and almost demands for the ultimate sacrifice of Grim. And he doesn’t play by any rules or deals. All bets are off!!
“Any fool can see it in her eyes, and I know you love her as well. You hide your true self, but you can’t hide that. It’s written in your very soul and seeps out your pores. I know too much of the soul-sucking feeling that comes with having to live without her.”
“The question is, do you love her enough to let her go?”
OH MY GAWWWWD this was a major cry pointing the story. That’s the trouble with Tracey books, we become so invested in these characters as they jump out from pages and start living amongst us.
“Because I am the man in the leather hood with bloodied hands, but I’m also more. More than just the reaper of Bedlam. More than just their leader. I’m a man. Flesh and bone. Beating heart. Capable of both life and death. Hate and love. I take, but this… this is my way of…”
“Giving life,”
“Yeah, something like that. I just wanted you to see me. All of me.”
It literally is a Fight Unto Death and Grim has his hands full.
Grim Tristan Paine is as deadly as they come, with the biggest heart and an infinite capacity to love. His brotherhood, his family, his friendships and his love are all treated with utmost loyalty and dedication. His word is the law and unbreakable. His iron fist is merciless for enemies and protective of his loved ones. Tricks is a con artist to the end, up to her old Tricks, she’s tragic at times and almost Joan of Arc at others. Fiercely protective, strong and level headed, I loved her courage and endurance.
Thoroughly entertaining and vividly detailed, I hated that the story came to an end. I’d have loved some Bow Tie though, but maybe next time!. Rollo steals the show in the end. #GoRollo -” I’ll kill her myself if she betrays”!!! **love to see THAT happen!** I hope you’re giving Sandy his own book. he has shades of Preppy and I’m loving it.
Thank you tracey for another wonderful story
After the explosive ending of Possession, T.M. Frazier left us hanging and reeling. In other words, I couldn’t wait to put my hands on Permission.
“Ask forgiveness, not permission.”
Starting off on the same frenzy than the two previous installments, Tricks and Grim’s story brought lots of revelations, tension and twists.
The conclusion of the Perversion Trilogy, is also, and certainly mainly emotionaly packed.
Family ties and friendship predominate in swoon-worthy scenes and sweet moments. In that aspect the vibe of this book is very different from what I felt in the first books.
The characters evolved, or…not. Tricks truly is a force to reckon with, she shone this book. The badass heroine is back! I loved Grim’s maturity, his ability to take the right decisions.
“I’m your possession as much as you are mine. I belong to you. My love. My life. My honor. My loyalty. For always.”
Closure is the key word in this opus, I hope you’ll enjoy the journey!
I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK. THANK YOU!!!
Permission is the conclusion to the
Perversion Trilogy and it picks up where Possession ended. Grim and Tricks story was epic, raw, intense and gritty. There were so many twists and turns. I love love Grim and Tricks. Their love for each other was beautiful and their chemistry and connection was everything. This is definitely my favorite of the series! This is a must read, you will not be disappointed!
Permission, the heart stopping and dramatic conclusion to the Perversion Trilogy is absolutely outstanding. Hands down, this is one of the BEST trilogies I’ve ever read!! I’m not going into too much detail with my review as I feel you should go in blind reading it as well as the trilogy. Permission has so many mouth dropping surprises and plot twists. I was blown away and on the edge of my seat with anticipation of how Grim and Emma Jean story’s would end.
Permission is a fast-paced and engaging book that I devoured within hours. It’s exciting, raw, thrilling and packed with a lot of sexy heat. Both Grim and Emma Jean are a formidable dynamic duo and a force to be reckoned with. T. M. Frazier creatively tied up all the loose ends, things worked just as they should have and it was everything I wanted and more. I was sorry to see Grim and Emma Jean’s story come to an end however I am so glad that I read it.
I highly recommend reading this five star book!!
Five epic-stars! What an ending for the story of Grim and Tricks. C’est la perfection!
OMFG! T.M. Frazier has done it again! She killed me with the most epic ending for the Perversion Trilogy! In my opinion Permission is the best book I have read over the 2018. It is my favourite book in the series because it has everything that makes it a perfect literary masterpiece. It is a dark, passionate, intense, consuming journey of revenge and redemption. The suspense killed me, the action breath life into me and the passion of a deep, mind-blowing love consumed my soul in the best way possible. This is T. M. Frazier at her best! Only she is capable of perfection like this. Her writing is flawless and so addictive that there is something about it that makes readers crave more, like there is a constant ache only a book written by T. M. Frazier could cure. It is poetic, isn’t it?
Reading this book is like experiencing hell and heaven at the same time. The darkness wrapped in light. It is the kind of book that is like oxygen to readers who enjoy dark, twisted tales where everything can happen, where love has a dark side that will consume all around. It is like a black rose open up to the sun. What a rush! What a read! My poor racing heart! I nearly have a heart attack while reading. Daring. Dangerous. Delectable. –So brilliantly and beautifully written with bold, strong and unforgettable characters and a pulse-pounding storyline–.
Damn it! Permission literally blew my mind and left me with the mother of all the book hangovers. The web of lies was destroyed and all the pieces matched in perfect synchrony, like a sweet symphony, it enchanted all my senses and all I could think and breathe is this amazing book and series. I still taste the bittersweet revenge and gentle redemption. This book is freaking gold and every chapter drew me close to craziness. Grim and Tricks will always have a special place in my heart. Their story was an intense ride of rage, revenge, redemption, hope, passion and love. All packed in perfect, toxic and twisted harmony.
There is no doubt that the palms are taken by Emma Jean. Although all the ugliness and pain, she fought as the strong, smart, fierce and young woman she is. Since the beginning, I knew she would fight like a crazed lioness and I wasn’t wrong. She was just the perfect match for Grim. No matter what they will always find their way to each other because they are meant to be one soul and body. Theirs is more than a forbidden attraction. It is a soul-deep feeling that tied up their hearts and soul.
Grim will always be on the top of my favourite book boyfriends. His possessiveness and killing instincts made him impossible sexy and hot AF! If Romeo would have a dark heart, he would be Grim. He had a hard exterior and his soft side (if he has one) is only for his Tricks. He is a loyal man who could sacrifice everything for his family. What he has with Tricks is raw and gritty love. They faced many obstacles and their love is the forever kind of love that makes you melt.
Cette trilogie était une série saisissante, crue, sombre et addictive qui vous tiendra assis au bord de votre siège. Rapide, excitant, dramatique, émotionnel et dur à cuire, c’est la finition que je voulais pour Grim et Emma Jean et je lisais ce livre en une seule séance, incapable de le critiquer! T. M. Frazier nous a donné la violence et la guerre, la vengeance et le pardon, l’amour et la famille. C’est la perfection! Je suis excité de voir ce que cet auteur nous apporte à l’avenir.
I just luv Grim and Tricks!
I ‘ve been dying for this book since the last book. This series has been so good I needed more of Grim and Tricks/EJ. There story has been crazy from the start. And this book was just as crazy. This book did carry on from where the last book ended thank god. There was again another crazy cliffy at the end of the second book so I needed to know what was goin to happen.
Tricks has been goin through hell since she went to Los Muertos. But there was alway hope when she thought of Grim he was her men and he was never far away. Marco and his men wouldn’t stop Grim getting to his woman but she has gone through some really bad things but she is the strongest woman ever. In this book she still has to deal with a lot of twists and turn but this is Tricks she can deal with anything.
Grim really what can I say this guy is amazing. I luv him so much. He will do anything for his woman and family. They mean the world to him but Trick has alway been his woman since they first met she has been his. Everything get tested in this book they have to final get rid of the trash the war can’t keep goin on and the only man for the job is Grim.
I enjoyed this book but I m not goin lie I wanted a bit more from it. The craziness that was in the first book was just missing in this. People needed to pay with what they had done I wanted all hell to go off. Maybe I m just a lil evil haha. I did enjoy they story and the ending was good. Grim and Tricks are perfect together in there mad world. There is some great twists in this book im actually hoping that there are a few spins off from this trilogy. I want to know more about Sandy Haze and Gabby. There all great characters so I would luv more from them. I would recommend this book I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing.
This was a perfect conclusion to another epic series. The twists and shocking surprises I loved. The way she gave them a true ending. I read this so quickly because I just needed to know how this will end. I appreciate the authors direction and how it all came together. I loved it.
I was up until 2:00 AM reading this last night, and then I couldn’t calm myself down to get to sleep!! Now I’m sitting down to write this review and my heart is starting to race again!! Oh god!!!
This was such an awesome, AWESOME ending to this series!!! I am SOOO in love with this series!! OMG…Tracey can really write them!!! I LOVE Grim & Tricks, especially Grim, SOOO much!!! Their love is so beautiful!! But even all the other characters, some we got to know more than others, but they were all SO REAL!!!
OMG…This book!! Hang on to something!! Be ready for a ride when you read this book!! There are surprises that feel like a grenade went off!! At times it feels like one did, in your heart. This book has so much angst!! There’s lots of twists and turns, and they’re flying at you so fast that I swear I thought I was going to pee my pants!!! YOU WILL NOT GET BORED WITH THIS BOOK, THERE ARE NO SLOW PARTS!!!
My life
My death
My honor
My loyalty
For Bedlam
For brotherhood
For Always
I can’t recommend this book HIGHLY ENOUGH!!!! A MILLION, TRILLION STARS!!!! READ IT!!!!!
Three words to sum up this trilogy….Powerful, Punchy Perfection!
Emma Jean and Grim, the Trickster and the Reaper of Bedlam.
From their very first meeting they’ve been through one hell of a chaotic, dangerous and unpredictable journey.
I’ve been utterly consumed throughout and inhaled each book.
From the beginning we’ve seen love and loss, loyalty and betrayal, violence and vengeance.
It hasn’t been pretty it’s brutal and terrifying but all is fair in Love and War.
Do yourself a favour and round off 2018 with a bang. Start this trilogy today, you’ll be so pleased you did.
For T.m Frazier
For Bedlam
For Grim and Tricks
For Always.
Grim is in the midst of a fight that was long overdue. In the midst of it all is his devotion to Emma Jean. Now that she is ‘missing’, Grim has to decide how to protect the place that he calls home, and bring back the girl that has stolen his heart. Uncertainty is swirling all around, but Grim is determined to have the life that he and Emma Jean so desperately deserve. The only issue that remains is the ‘cost’ of finding happiness. Is that even a reality at this stage of the ‘game’?
With his heart and territory on the line, where will Grim turn? Will the end game for Lacking revolve around Marco and his insane need to overtake everyone? Only time will tell what will unfold in Lacking, but the twists in this sordid tale are only just beginning
What a ‘wicked’ tale TM Frazier has woven within the covers of the Perversion Trilogy. In Permission – Grim is faced with the consequences that are left after the gang wars infiltrated Lucking. Tricks is once again in the center of the war, and Grim is determined to save not only Tricks, but the life he has only dreamed of having. After a lifetime of uncertainty, Grim knows that nothing will be ‘normal’ until the feud with Marco has ended.
This high speed look at the aftermath of the battle between the communities in Lacking will captivate readers from the very first chapter. An engrossing battle that only delves deeper into the secrets surrounding Emma Jean and Grim and the events that led them to this place. Grim knows that nothing will be easy in this battle for redemption, but Emma Jean’s well being is the only thing that matters to the man behind the hood.
Permission is a story of hope, trust, and overcoming the odds that will leave you tempted by the revelations that unfold in the most unexpected of ways. A dark and gritty journey that will lead you to the ending that Grim and Emma Jean definitely deserve!!
Permission concluded what started with Perversion and a bloody war. EJ and Grim’s love story was doomed from the moment she gave him her “cat”. And with all the obstacles they faced with each book, it just seemed impossible, and the way the 2nd book Possession ended, it just broke my heart.
But as always, Ms. Frazier takes us on a rollercoaster ride before giving a satisfying conclusion. And this book is another brilliant example of her wicked mind. All the loose strings that she kept dangling from the 1st book were neatly tied up and after months of heartache (of both EJ, Grim and us readers) and blood-shed, the town of Lacking saw sunshine.
Kudos Ms. Frazier on another wonderful work of words with characters, environment that we as readers can truly invest in and feel and fall for. I hope to see more of the residents of Lacking in upcoming books!
T.M.Frazier did it again! The story was full of so many blows to my heart that I am still recovering! The bond of Grim and Emma Jean goes beyond life and time. The story was rough edge and soft core at the same time. It may sound impossible to achieve but she did it effortlessly! It was an incredible story to read!
The plot has more twists and turns than a hilly road. But she tied every loose end perfectly. I felt invested with every character and the town itself. I fall in love with the perversion and the possession. Emma Jean is the strongest character I read this year. So brave and beautiful. She never stopped surprising me. And Grim is more than perfection. This guy is just too much. I can’t believe he did that for Emma Jean’s happiness. Don’t ask me what because you are not getting answers. Sometimes the story became unbearable and I just wanted to curl into a ball in corner of my room to cry! The happy ending tasted sweeter because of the journey through hell.
Permission was about love , family, loyalty and freedom. It was about survival passion and emotions in middle of darkness. Perversion and Possession made me breathless with all the dark angst. The darkness is gone at the end of Permission but not before an unforgettable epic war. Must read series of 2018. If you have not read Perversion Trilogy, your year is incomplete. T.M.Frazier at her best. I don’t have enough stars to rate this series!
(Received ARC from author and Social Butterfly PR for honest review)
This is the amazing conclusion of the Perversion Trilogy.
The fantastic end to Grim and Tricks’ story.
This story has twists and turns and so many WTF moments!! It kept me on the edge of my seat!
It gave me the chills, it made my heart beat faster and it made me happy and sad and all the feels!
As with the other two stories in this trilogy, this is about the raw and gritty love between Grim and Tricks. So many obstacles they faced. And the forever kind of love that makes you melt.
This is a story of family, by blood and by choice. It’s loyalty never ending.
Ms. Frazier has a way of bringing you into the world of Lacking and submerging you into her world. Her artistic license is brillant, it’s fantastical and real at the same time.
I have loved all of Ms. Frazier’s work, and this story, this trilogy has got to be one of her finest!
So well done! Do yourself a favor, get into this story. Get into this trilogy, it will change your world!
I devoured this because I was so anxious to find out how it will all play out.
Revenge, violence, redemption no more will be said as not to spoil.
I enjoyed this series.
Emma Jean is a great character and Grim reminds me of King and he’s my fave absolutely favorite.
