Absolutely amazing!!! Jodi has done it again!!! Trigger and Tess story is amazing!!! #pushfor4
Wow! What an ending to a great series! I cannot wait to read it again and again!
Once again, J.L. Drake did not disappoint! The third book of Devil’s Reach will have you on the ride of your life, answering all of your unanswered questions from Trigger and Demons. Just when you think you may have something figured out, the story takes another twist and you’re left with a whirlwind of emotions. It’s dark, it’s sexy, it’s intense, have tissues and alcohol close by and enjoy the ride.
It’s over, I can’t believe it’s over. It’s been a wild ride and I didn’t want it to end. Great series! Read it now!!! (Trust me it is worth the ride, and all the books are released so…what’s stopping you?)
So ive been mulling this one over for a few days before I put pen to paper.
Unleashed the final book in the Devils Reach series is one I have been waiting with bated breath for especially with how we left things previously and the identity of the mole finally revealed and as I would expect this was excellently written full of the usual twists and turns with murder and mayhem throughout.
This particular series definitely doesn’t pull its punches in regards to its content with gives a very realistic flavour to the whole story.
I reread both Trigger and Demons to prepare for this as I wanted to experience the whole tale as a full entire narrative and I do think this really helped me in terms of my enjoyment of unleashed.
So my issue of why I was ping-ponging in my eventual rating is I didn’t quite enjoy Unleashed as much as its predecessor’s.
This had a few things that didn’t quite work for me: well Two mainly I wasn’t a fan of all the OW drama: even if that is all it was unnecessary fluff: I thought we had maybe got to a point where we could cast off all that unwelcome showmanship and just cut to the chase.
second Triggers mood here was off the charts: I mean the man was already certifiably psychotic did we need to add an extra element of insanity into the whole equation.
But besides them grumbles This is still the darn best MC series I have read and for the reason alone I have to give it its due.
So I am going to go with a five on rating as despite my bugbears here: I can’t in all conscience rate it any lower: I just enjoyed the story too much and this is so much better than others of a similar genre ive rated a four.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc of Unleashed (Devil’s Reach, #3).
All opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

A great way to end this fantastic trilogy. Miss Drake does not disappoint!
The Devil’s Reach series by J.L. Drake has been a wild and crazy ride and now we have Unleashed! I waiting not so very patiently for this book to see how it would all turn out! The first two books were dirty and raw and this one followed suit!
After that ending in the previous book, we knew things were only going to get messier. Tess was taken and Trigger is in jail. Tess was absolutely amazing. Strong, determined and ready to fight. Trigger was his possessive, protective, cocky and determined self. Their journey is far from over and continues to keep you at the edge of your seat!
Unleashed by J.L. Drake is not your flowers and rainbows romance. It was gritty and dark and one that kept me engaged from the first word to the very last. There is drama, angst, secrets and so much more.
4.5 stars! Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy reading!
5 Trigger Filled Stars!!!
Trigger is back for his final ride. No joke you better hold on tight bc this isn’t going to be a nice smooth ride. Nope. It’s going to be hard, bumpy and kinda bloody.
When we last saw these guys Trigger, Brick and Rail were set up and sent to prison. Trigger is looking at a triple life sentence. Tess and Gus were kidnapped by Allen. Allen wants to take everything from Trigger and then kill him. (Some father he is).
We picked up there. Trigger and Tess do whatever they have to in order to survive and get back to each other. Unfortunately even when they find their way back to each other it’s not a HEA. There’s still so much in the way. Trigger’s father is still trying to take them down and murder him. Tess’s mother is still a thorn in her side AND let’s not forget the biggest thing. The mole!! We already know about Jace but the other one. I for one was shocked at who it was. I wasn’t expecting it to be that person.
This book was dark. It was nonstop was page one to the very last. I’m sad that this is it. I want more from the guys of The Devil’s Reach MC.
I think I’m going to cry, melt and dissolve. You know how 3rd books in trilogies don’t always live up to your expectations. This one did and so much more. If you haven’t read Trigger and Demons first, do. Then find a quiet place and get pulled into to “family”. Looking forward to her next book.
Nolan “Trigger” Vineyard looks like he has a long road ahead of him. He’s a man with a lot of anger. Tessa “Tess” Marin’s story is not something that I would want to experience. She’s a strong woman and always seems to come up with ways to solve problems. And she lets us know about Gus and it’s not pretty. As a reader you need to remember that even though this is about an MC it is a work of fiction.
Allen is a man you do not want to cross. He’s the match that lit the fire on everything that happens here. One reason I kept going back for more was to find out if he ever got his just desserts – and I wanted a front row seat. This wasn’t his first appearance in this series so if you haven’t read the previous books you have some catching up to do.
This is a story that is rough, raw and with plenty of violence – not something for the weak-kneed. To be honest, it was tough on me. I may have had to step away a couple of times – just something to take my mind off what my mind was trying to process. It certainly was not a picket fence story.
For the most part I don’t listen to music so that I can concentrate on the book I’m reading. But this was not a book where I wanted to get sucked in so deep that it would star in my dreams so this was one of the rare occasions that I played some of my favorite band’s music. I have to say that this author’s imagery is amazing. I can picture each scene vividly. She has to be doing something right if shortly into the book, some of her scenes were able to turn my stomach – or maybe it’s just something I ate.
The funny thing is that it didn’t stop me from reading. The reason being no one was going to just give things away. I had to patiently wait for when the right moment came before things started to unfold and that was a tough thing to do. Because I had to keep stepping away, it took me a while to get through the book but the payoff was worth it – especially if you’ve been following the series. The ending was when I could finally release my breath – anticlimactic. I just may have to read again because I can’t tell if we’re going to get more of Trigger and Tess or even the Devil’s Reach – was there a hint I missed?
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
WOW!!! Just WOW!!! Talk about a page turner… being able to connect with characters in a book and feel like you’re a part of their world is an indescribable feeling. The incorporation of loved characters from previous books and it actually falling into place in this book is mind blowing. JL Drake is the only author to date who can get me INSIDE a book and not want it to end.
OMG! This is what I want from a great MC story. It’s like I was reading a SAMCRO script. Simply fabulous! I started reading and didn’t stop until the end. It’s that good. Blood, guts, drugs, murder, dirty sexy brothers, rival factions and laughs. I didn’t expect the humor but in the last half especially there were several funny moments amidst all the madness, mayhem and cringe-worthy moments. I love Trigger and his demons. Such a badass, sexy, dominant male. He’s delicious! All smoke and whiskey. Tess is an amazing heroine. When her tiger comes out and she’s so badass, it’s marvelous. She doesn’t discriminate…she’ll slap a bitch or a bastard. Trigger has met his match in Tess and she calms his demons. They’re a terrific couple with a great ending! This is nonstop killer MC action with a storyline that wraps up the previous unanswered questions and deals with enemies of the MC and Tess in the most satisfying ways. It also opens up new stories with the terrific MC brothers and their love interests. I looked forward to the “red head” and Rail’s story and the continuation of Brick and Minnie’s. There is so much to love in this fantastic series with the darker, grittier side of MC life that seems more authentic and realistic. I’m a huge fan of this author’s writing and this wonderful series. Give me more! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
Wow. This was a beautifully written work of art. What a roller coaster of emotions! The way Jodi brings her story to life and makes you live in the moment is magical. This gritty, dark, yet beautiful story had me constantly wanting more and did not disappoint! Such an incredibly gifted author.
I have been eagerly awaiting this book to see what was going to happen with Trigger and Tess after that epic ending to Demons Their romance was never going to go smoothly but this part of their story had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.
In this instalment questions were answered and there were so many amazing twists and turns.
My guess on the mole was wrong and the way JL kept the anticipation and guessing up with this was simply brilliant.
Another gripping story which was dark, intense, and leaves you wanting more from the Devil’s Reach
This story left me with one hell of a book hangover! The questions left in book one and two are answered in this final installment. Unleashed takes you on an emotional roller coaster and is a must, must read for 2018. Some parts of the story I wanted to throw my Kindle across the room, but then I reigned it in and figured if I did that I wouldn’t get to read the rest the story. The fire and the sexual chemistry between Trigger and Tess is off the charts. The way they fight for each other is mind blowing. This book is nonstop action from the beginning. I highly, highly recommend this book!!! I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!
The closing of the Devils Reach is everything you can hope for. No better way to bring this dark story to an end. All the action, the lies, the laughs, and the love. You will not be disappointed in this book. Best series I’ve read in a long time. Let in your inner darkness with this book! 5 stars!
I have never wanted to stab and hug a person at the same time as I do with Jodi for this book. The passion and many different emotions felt while reading this book have me dying from a book hangover. I’ve never been an anxious person, but the story puts you on alert in every way. When you think you’ve figured it out, it turns into a big fat no. Jodi is such a phenomenally talented author. The level of care she puts into crafting her characters shines bright, especially in this final (hopefully not ) installment to the Devil’s Reach Series. This book breaks down so much and picks up from the most gut-wrenching cliffhanger. We follow Tess and Trigger in heir quest to not only make their relationship work, but figure out what family truly means. I love the in-depth views we get. I won’t give anything away because this book is definitely one you HAVE to read and see for yourself. You won’t know what hit you when you finally get the answers that you’ve been seeking. Just hang on for the ride because the reaper is one step behind you. Great job Jodi! I can’t wait to see what you do next! You truly are an amazing person with a penchant for awesome violence and sex. Congrats on this release hun!
Nolan “Trigger” Vineyard has just been 3 consecutive for crimes he committed with the Devil’s Reach MC. Sentenced along with him is Brick and Rail but the three don’t plan on being in jail for long.
Tessa Marin is being held captive by Allen and with help from Gus she is finally able to escape and try to get back to Trigger.
With Tessa’s help can Trigger, Rail and Brick get released? How easily will Allen let Tessa go and will he plan on his own revenge to get her back?
This was a great book and the first one I have read in the series. That being said I didn’t feel like I was missing anything but I definitely want to go back and read more!
I thought Trigger was such a great character and he definitely was not a guy to mess with. I loved how they already knew him in prison but he still had enemies in there.
Tessa was awesome and my heart broke for her when she had to leave Gus and what she went through while escaping. I give her credit for doing what had to be done as it wasn’t easy at all.
I loved what Tess found which allowed things to happen but I wondered if there would be any repercussions. There were so many twists and turns that I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next and I few definitely made me sad and others I was just shocked by.
I never saw what happened between Tess and her mom coming at all!
The other showdowns were intense and great!!
The end was awesome and I look forward to more in this series!
“Wow, Unleashed was everything I was hoping for. The suspense kept me at the edge of my seat, the action keep me so riveted I read it in a couple hours.
Trigger & Tess is one hot couple. I couldn’t ask for a better ending to the book.” I highly recommend reading, you won’t be disappointed!!
