REVIEW - GRIM by JL Drake


Grim Gates and the other members of the Devil's Reach MC were taking out the members of the Stripe Back MCs but none of them Grim's ultimate target. Then they see it, white powder flying through the Nevada desert. While Trigger and the rest of the guys sped off for the other bikers Grim was after the one who had been carrying his stolen property.

The adrenaline of tearing this man apart fed on Grim's dark side. When the man refused to talk Grim changed directions when he saw a massive fire ant hill. Running back to his bike he cut the lid off a bottle, scooped it full of the angry ants and dumped it down the front of his pants.

But the biker's answers just led to confusion. The theft of his drugs was only a distraction to get to the girl to find out what she knew. But he passed out before Grim could find out who had sent him and what girl they were looking for.

After the last of men were dead he headed for his driver who handed him clean clothes. Grim striped out of his leather cut, tee and jeans into the bespoke suit and soft leather shoes and climbed into the back of the limosine. After ten years he was finally heading home to Vegas.

The kickback of the gun snapped Kenna Lodge back and the dead man was now sprawled over her. She thrashed about trying to get the heavy body off of her while trying not to vomit from the smell of gun smoke and brandy. This couldn't be happening. Minnie came into the back room of her club to see what was going on and stopped in her tracks promising to take care of it.

Kenna told her that she hadn't meant to kill him but she couldn't tell her the reasons because she wouldn't involve anyone else in the mess she found herself in.

I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This is the first book I have read by JL Drake but I have already started downloading her backlist. The secondary characters in this book are from two previous series and I definitely want to get their backstories.

Grim goes from a leather cut to a bespoke suit. His family owns Indulgence a Vegas hotel and casino, but Grim is building another hotel with a club on the darker side. Grim has history with the Devil's Reach MC club and trusts them with his life and he knows they will protect his secrets.

Kenna is a Hostess at Indulgence and hasn't seen Grim in years and is not happy that he is back in Vegas for good. Especially since the controlling man is now her boss. But Kenna has been doing her job without his interference in the past and she is determined that that doesn't change.

This book is action-packed, full of danger and full of violence. If you love dark romance with a mix of mafia and MC justice then you will love this book. The suspense will keep you turning the books and the explosive chemistry between Grim and Kenna will set your Kindle on fire. 

Warning - this book doesn't have a HEA and leaves you with a HUGE cliffhanger, but this story is well worth the wait. Can't wait for Havoc!
