3.5 Flip the Switch stars!!
Every time I see a book get a crazy amount of 5-stars while I struggle to give it four, I have to wonder what I’m missing. And this time, I couldn’t see what everyone else did. While I enjoyed this story and was stupidly entertained by the drama of it all, I felt like I was missing something.
So here’s the deal… I felt like I was dumped into the middle of the story, not the beginning. There were instances that names and past situations were mentioned, but there was nothing to explain their context. I was left wondering if I needed to read a prior book to truly understand what was happening in this one.
While I didn’t feel a true connection to the main characters, Trigger and Tessa, I was beyond curious about Brick and Rail. Between the two of them, they showed me the brotherhood of the MC, the love they have for each other, and they made me laugh, which always works to help me love a story. I’m really hoping to get a firmer understanding of this story in the next book of this series, Demons. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing these characters again, especially with the sweet bloody scenes I’ve been subjected to. Trigger’s madness is extremely hot (and yes, I know I have a problem!).

GRITTY, DARK, RAW, AN UNCONVENTIONAL ROMANCE WITH A SEXY BROODY MALE AND A STRONG HEROINE
TRIGGER: by J.L. Drake is the first book within the (Devil's Reach ) series and does end on a semi cliff hanger. Spoken in ‘Dual Perspectives’
Ohhhhh my this shoves you straight into the gritty goodness of the life of a notorious MC club. From a shoot out on a busy highway to being catapulted into their slaughter room, tiles from top to bottom, and an industrial drain to drain away all the blood from their victims, with many tools to work on their victims where we are privy to graphic details of Trigger cutting off a snitchers body parts in stomach curdling goodness.
I showed no mercy and punished those who needed it through their greatest fears.
Take a walk on the dark side with ‘Trigger’ this guy has no boundaries, like a flick of a switch he will kill you in cold blood. A dark unforgiving man with an even darker past.
I'm not your Prince Charming, Tess. I wasn't made that way.
Prince Charming is overrated, Trigger. People like us need people equally fucked up. It evens shit out.
From an early age Trigger became a fighting machine, he fought to stay alive, he fought to beat his opponents. He fought the demons in his head.
Tess has just recently arrived into the town of Santa Monica and is the new bartender at Helmond's Bar her best friend ‘Matt Montgomery’ aka Brick set up for her whom she hadn't seen in six years. These two have a brother, sister close relationship. There is nothing and no lengths he wouldn't go to protect his best friend Tess. The boy who saved her many years ago when they were running the streets.
“Tess, you’re walking a thin line. Trigger is not someone you fall in love with. I don’t even think he would know how to. Since he was a boy, he’s been surrounded by nothing but hate. He’s been killing since you were on the school playground.” - Brick (Tess' best friend)
Tess is a bit of an enigma, she blew into town with the devil hunting her heels, we know she had a rough past but that's all we know.
Over the years with my MC binge reading this would have to be up the top, I loved everything about this!! It was dark and gritty enough that ticked all my boxes when it comes to this genre..This was a first time read for me by this author and *f#ck me side ways* it won't be the last, I can not believe I've not come across this author before. If you're into MC reads then I highly highly recommend this one!!.

This book, god I loved it.
Trigger (Devil's Reach, #1) is the story of Trigger and Tess both two very damaged individuals who in each other find the solace they need and crave.
What starts as two people scratching there itch with each other gradually morphs into so much more.
Not that either of them will actually admit that aloud.
Tess is running from her past and trigger lives his each and every day with no regard for anyone but his club.
When Tess joins her best friend Matt now Brick in Santa Monica she enters a whole new world.
Brick now VP in the Devils Reach MC hires Tess to work the bar at the MC club that Trigger is Pres of.
Good job nothing phases this girl because the book is hardcore with cold-blooded murder, Torture, and dismemberment.
They actually have a slaughter room!!!!
With a drain!!!
The Devils Reach MC is the real deal and Tess soon starts to think of them as the family shes always longed for.
So this had everything you could want and as I said earlier it really doesn't pull its punches when it comes to the action portrayed here.
I really loved both main characters.
Even though in real time I would probably pee my pants having to deal with Trigger he is one scary individual.
And Tess she was so feisty a real no shit or drama sort of girl.
Also quite willing to stand her ground when needed
She is no shrinking violet.
A real match for the explosive Trigger.
So this also had an amazing supporting cast and shock and horror it also ends on a misunderstanding and a cliff-hanger.
but fear, not I have the next book, which I'm soo off to read like now.
Cant recommend this enough if you like a real MC story it was fantastic and hooked me straight from the very beginning.
Just a warning this is not a kittens and rainbows sort of story so if you like your books a bit tamer than this Trigger probably isn't the one for you, just saying.

LOVE this cover. A superb representation of the hero and overall theme of the book. Great composition with good use of graphics. Interesting a bold typography. All in all a very impressive cover.
I don't even know where to begin with this one. I mean the book started out with eye torture. Anything to do with eyes freaks me out so from the outset I was queasy. Luckily for me, we move on from the eyes to a more acceptable form of torture that I apparently have no issue with. So it was all good from there...
I LOVED every minute of this one (well apart from the aforementioned eye stuff *shiver*) It was fantastically well written. The plot was intricate, and the pace was fast moving. There was angst. There was drama. If you have an issue with OW scenes or drama, then this probably isn't for you. It was gritty. It was violent. It was stomach turning. It had smokin' sex scenes. It had a plethora of interesting secondary characters that I hope get books of their own.
It had two VERY likable and well developed main characters. Trigger was excellent. He fights the way he wants. He fucks the way he wants. He kills the way he wants. He doesn't care about much except his club and Tess. Tess...what can I say. I ADORED her. One of the best heroines I have read in ages. She wasn't some simpering idiot that couldn't control herself around Trigger. She didn't yearn for a happily ever after with him. She didn't want to change him or tie him down. She was feisty and strong and spoke her mind. She has demons and HUGE ones at that. We don't find out what they are in this book and I cannot wait until it all comes out in the next book (I assume).
Of course, we end it with the mother of all cliffhangers. I am salivating to get my hands on the next book. Two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly.

Can't break something that is already broken, Trigger.
I'm addicted to badass bikers, especially broken ones, and Trigger was just too tempting to resist. So, I took a chance on a new-to-me author and dug into Devil's Reach MC. What can I say, I'm hooked.
It's no wonder that Trigger considers himself the Devil's spawn. I'd have to agree with him as far as his father is concerned. And I'd also have to agree that darkness is home to him, he's never known anything else. When she steps into his life, her very presence shines a light into his darkness and calms his demons. He warns her, I'm not your Prince Charming, Tess. I wasn't made that way. He knows that she's at risk if his enemies become aware of her presence. But can he let her go, even if it's for her own good?
She sees his darkness and recognizes his demons. She's not afraid, she has her own. Prince Charming is overrated, Trigger. People like us need people equally as fucked up. It evens shit out.
Yeah, that's right. This book is dark and gritty and raw and real. The author isn't shy about laying it all out there for her readers and takes you on a ride that will resonate long after the last page is turned. But I don't plan on waiting, I'm moving on to the next book right now. No sleep for me, I'll be moving right on to Demons. #BingeReading #BookHangover 332

I don't know why I've never stumbled upon this book before because Trigger was so good. I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how this book captivated me from the very first chapter- I mean talk about starting a book with a bang!
You know the other reason why I enjoyed this book?
It's unapologetic, raw, has a no bullshit- take me as I am attitude that I really enjoyed. I loved trigger and Tess! I loved how strong they are together yet independently strong.
The pace and action in this book is perfect and I hated HATED that this book ended in a cliffhanger.
To be honest,I went into this book blind without reading any previous reviews and I am so glad I didn't.
I loved it. I can't wait for Demons.

Gostei da história, gostei da tensão, suspense e ação, mas...
A personagem feminina é muito chata e imatura para seus 32 anos, age como se fosse adolescente! Bem não sei se vai desenvolver bem no segundo livro!
O personagem principal é muito bem resolvido e bad boy com B maiúsculo, mas... nas cenas de sexo sem camisinha? Por favor, em pleno século XXI, ainda mais que ele ficava com varias que transaram com quem nem sabe.
Acho que os autores deveriam se conscientizar que quem lê esses livros, podem ser adolescentes e jovens que acham que isso é normal. Veja, sei que há livros e livros com contextos fora do comum, com coisas inexplicáveis com assuntos os mais variados possíveis, mas deveriam ficar mais atentos a esses assuntos peculiares como a possibilidade de transmissão de DST e outras doenças pela relação sexual e que pode ser impedida pelo uso de camisinha. Por mais louca e alucinada que seja a história, não custam aos personagens principais se prevenirem.
Falei demais!!!!! Mas não aguentei!!!! 332 I loved Trigger by J.L. DRAKE she dragged me into the story from the very first page and had me sitting on the very edge of my seat till the very last page. J.L. DRAKE knows how to pull you into a story, she will drag you in and keep you on the very edge as she spins a web of betrayal , murder, mystery and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.......ive read it twice now and would more than likely read it again and again.
Trigger's is a man with the right name as anything can set him hes dark, brooding and just damn hot!!!! I totally fell inlove with his character , he's the president of the devils reach, loathes being touched and has a huge problem with intimacy. Trigger has so many demon's that he fights them on a daily basis and with the only way he knows how....... violence.
Tess is a women with her own set of demons and shes running from hers, i love Tess's character i think shes strong and has a back bone and can stand on her own two feet. Tess meets Trigger through working in his bar they are both messed up individuals who find the solace they need and crave, what starts as two people scratching there itch gradually turns into so much more. I really loved Tess and Trigger's story, as the two main characters in the book, i think explosive Trigger totally met his match, Tess is feisty, real, no drama type of girl and willing to stand her ground when needed. Ill be honest Trigger is a scary individual if he was real and i ever ended up face to face with him i would more than likely totally pee my pants lol.
They are so many great character's in this book and i loved them all and the banter they shared. Brick (aka matt) is vice president to Devils reach and Tess's best friend i really enjoyed the bond they shared as friends and at some points i couldnt help but laugh. Trigger is a really enjoyable read and i would highly recommend it , it is told in Tigger and Tess's pov and i found it was easy to to follow.
Trigger does contain violence, murder, torcher and dismemberment, i mean come on they have a slaughter room with a shower and drain what's not to love. 332 NOT a review, only safety details:
After MCs met, he got bj from OW, detailed sex-scene with another OW -> condom wasn't mentioned.
Sex with the h without condom. 332
***This book ends with a small cliffhanger. Intended for 18+. May contain Triggers.***
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.
Killing is the only thing that calms the itch.
The demons inside were a constant battle…
…until she changed everything.
Problem is when you spend most of your time in the dark, is it smart to step into the light? Trigger (Devils Reach, #1)
