Right off you need to know Tess is TSTL! It was SO frustrating. She absolutely would not listen to anybody trying to keep her safe. She went where she wanted, mouthed off to who she wanted, and wouldn't "agree" to having a bodyguard. I'm not sure if I want to keep going. The writing was really good! I like lots of dialogue and less reading the character's thoughts or over long descriptions.

Trigger was provided by InkSlingerRP for an honest review.
This book - this flipping book was a choke up cluster fuck of emotions. Boom, there I said it. I loved this book. I have never read anything from JL Drake, but here we are, take my wallet, just take all my money. I cannot get enough of this dark romance biker genre, it makes me all hot and bothered!
I love Tess and Trigger. Both have a story to tell; both have troubled pasts, they are so different yet so alike. Tess is not a one-dimensional female lead, she is actually rather explosive. At the beginning, she is extremely guarded, definitely a closed shell because she is running from her past, which seems to still hover a great deal over her mind. Even with this fear she is still a badass; definitely ball busting type female, she is strong and weak all at the same time. Tess is the perfect match to Trigger.
Trigger is living his past demons, and honestly he is the true biker hardass that is just gives zero shits for anyone but his family - his club. At first Trigger doesn't trust Tess, he has a really intimating personality. I am definitely a sucker for an alpha menacing male, and Trigger drips with this persona. He is hard, rough around the edges, and a stone fox - seriously butter me up and call me Tess.
With these two types of personalities, Tess and Trigger really make the novel. Seriously, I loved them together. On the one hand having Trigger being this brooding hardass who meets his match with Tess who is a complete enigma to him. At first they really have this clashing tension that builds yet Trigger may appear to be closed off on Tess yet he seems to actually care whether he likes to admit it or not. Once the tension really hits a point, they really collide, fireworks come off the pages.
Aside from the drool worthy yet questionably scary intimating chemistry between our main characters, I have to say I really enjoyed the supporting cast. Everyone from Brick, to Gus, all of the biker supporters were just an add on to the backbone of the premise. I honestly did not expect to love this as much as I did, the twists and turns of the plot, to the secrets of not only the main characters but the other gang as well - everything really just hit a climax that did not stop delivering.
For my first really intense biker themed romance, this was spot on epic. Drake really had a knack for creating this intense world that leaves chills down my spine. I was completely captivated by Trigger. The characters had such a depth that couldn't be reached, everything was perfection. I honestly cannot wait to dig into Demons, this is one hell of a ride.

Wow this book was amazing I couldn't put it down. Had me gripped from the beginning. Tess and trigger both fighting the demons of their past lives , collide after she runs from her past. Neither want love thinking neither can feel emotions for them selves or each other but when danger pushed them, they fall without knowing. A darker mc book than most but so worth the read can't wait to start book 2

“I’m not your Prince Charming, Tess. I wasn’t made that way.” She grabbed the hem of my shirt to get my attention. “Prince Charming is overrated, Trigger, people like us need people equally as fucked up. It evens shit out.”
Shocker I’m reading another J.L Drake book! I love a good twisted romance. I feel like right now I’m really enjoying the Mafia romance or a biker romance. When I first started reading this book I had to keep reading. I needed to know what happened in Tess’s past and what brought her to where she is now. Anytime I started reading this book I had to keep reading. Especially last night, I was up 2 hours after my “bedtime”. I needed to now what was going to happen between Trigger and Tess. I’ll definitely be reading “Demons” again I need to know more about Tess’s last. I need to know who this Clark guy is. I NEED to know that Tess and Trigger will end up together.
I was raised by the Devil himself. Formed into a man who was unreachable. I went from the boy with bruises to the man with a Trigger.

I hate when I find a book that has a really high rating, and awesome reviews, just for it to be a complete letdown. This book starts off fast, stays fast and ends fast. I honestly felt like half of the pages were missing. The book skips around a lot, doesn’t really delve into the development of characters and honestly makes you feel like you’re being told a story with information being left out. The book had lots of potential, but I just felt like everything was super rushed and poorly explain.
