***SPOILER. FUCKING. ALERT.*****
you have been fucking warned.

Ever read a series where the first book is amazing, the second book is not as amazing as the first but still good, and the third book FUCKING RUINS EVERYTHING?!

I did not like this one very much. The beginning was good. I liked that, but the second fucking SHARON showed up, I became one seriously PISSED OFF human being and almost stopped reading. I actually skipped through a ton of chapters because I couldn't read it. I hated it. FUCK YOU SHARON YOU FUCKING FUCK FUCK!



AND CHOKE ON IT BITCH

It literally got to the point where I was screaming in my room while reading this and my family was concerned as to who I was so fucking pissed at.

Also, I still didn't give a flying fuck about Ryan. He's hot and all, but I still just didn't care about him and what happened to him. I'd love him if the book was about just him and Candace.

And Micah, I totally understand why you had to do what Sharon said, but still, you hurt my heart.


And then the epilogue jumps into the future 20 years and fucking Micah fuck junior. SERIOUSLY. Sharon you are the murderer of JOY.






There is a reason I can't handle books with cheating (okay I know this wasn't really cheating, it was forced, I know, but STILL IT HURT MY FEELINGS). If I would have known, I wouldn't have fucking read this book. I get way too emotional. I almost bought these books in paperback. Thank God I didn't because Book 3 would be sitting in a fire pit right now, on fire, turning into ashes.

Ugh fuck. I get too damn emotional.

5 how-could-you-put-me-through-this stars!



My previous reviews of the two books in this series were detailed, however since so much occurs in this installment, details will ruin the surprise. Let’s just leave it at – a shit-ton of things happen. Things that might cause you to chant the f-word repeatedly and a slight need to hoard a box of Kleenex.

I fell in love with this series and never for a moment fell out of it. Yes, there is a very positive message of faith – yes there are some very hard to swallow moments that occur. Moments when you question both their choices. But this book ripped emotions out of you.

I stumbled across this series at some point, I seriously can’t remember how it ended up on my Kindle, but one afternoon *poof* there it was. The slowness of the start of the third book had me craving the fast-paced and intensity that I knew was coming; and when it finally did – I was ready for it all to calm down again. My poor Kindle was verbally abused and nearly made a very unpleasant introduction to the floor.
So many things happen in this book and spoiling even a second of those twists and turns would be a disservice to any readers out there.

I get that this story has mixed reviews, for some Micha’s sins are not redeemable. But as an avid reader of romance, both sweet, erotic & dark – If I can the Anthony Rawlings and Caleb’s can work their way into our hearts, than a beautiful hit man that is struggling to find a slice of good within himself can too.

Lindsay Delagair created a very powerful and intense romance that tested the limits of faith, love and forgiveness. Maybe to some this type of love doesn’t exist or seems just too fictional. But great love opens doors to great sacrifice and for finding forgiveness even in the bleakest of places. Micha & Leese’s journey was certainly one that was tainted with darkness. This series completely held my attention from the first page of book one until the very last page of book three.

**I highly recommend that if you like your romances with a bit of suspense and enough drama to cause you to self-medicate that you check this series out.


“I just feel like I’m drowning – literally drowning, like I can’t take a breath. It started the minute you told me you forgave me for what I’d done to you and it hasn’t let up.”

“You, Annalisa,” he hoarsely whispered, “are the only memory out of all of this worth keeping.”

This was my most absolute favorite book in this trilogy. The action was breath taking at times and the emotions were raw. I feel deeply committed to Micah and Lesse's relationship... Like I'm a part of their history. The love story between them is 100% undeniable. I was upset over Micah Jr. in the beginning, and for the fact that stupid Sharon forced Micah to sleep with her... But I just ended up understanding that Micah Jr.'s relationship with Joshua would be an amazing 4th book! Even though I wish Lee would have capped Sharon when he had the chance.

I appreciate the intimate scenes in all 3 books. It wasn't too in depth to be x-rated. I would say PG-13.

All in all... Untraceable was amazing and Lindsay is an amazing author! I can't wait to read her future books!

Fuck I wont lie the whole him being forced to have sex with sharon pissed me off.. i mean i get he was "forced" but i feel like he could have done something else to prevent it, or idk.. it just left me feeling unsatisfied.

i mean when books are centred around a couple who love each other unconditionally and with their whole heart, cheating - it felt like that to me - ruins it for me.. it puts a dead weight on a book. i mean i get he was forced i understand that, but he kissed her. kissing.. so emotional.. that killed me and felt like cheating to me. i just didnt like it at all.

Great review here

[Dinjolina]

I have no words... for me, this book was just wrong. And pretty much bizzare.
Will try to review at a later date.

Can't trust this author.

*** spoilers ***
Understand from others that she has three trilogies released where the hero cheats in the third book. In this trilogy he is supposedly blackmailed into cheating with another woman and after they're done showers with her treats her affectionately gets her pregnant. It is worse because the other woman was the heroine's nemesis. Now they have a child together and are linked forever. Why would anyone want to read that in a romance novel?

[Nicole · Rating 1 out of 5]

When I first started this series I was in love. The concept was fun; a relationship between a Christian teenager and a hardened assassin. The decline began halfway through the second book of the series. The fact that Leese is beaten and raped by Micah, her husband and the man that is supposed to be so in love with her, devastated me. But the fact that she completely forgave him so quickly and continued their relationship without pause infuriated me. And now in this book he's back at it; taking Leese's forgiving spirit for a given and hurting her in every way imaginable. I understand that Leese's Christian values are extremely important to her but I feel as if she's turned into a total doormat in this series. She allows herself to be repeatedly abused and neglected by Micah and comes running back at the end of every book with nothing but reassurances for Micah that he's not a bad person. Gosh darnit, some people just aren't good and by the end of this series I was convinced Micah was one of those people. I'm so sick of weak protagonists and Leese plays right into that role. I just wish she would have worked up the courage to leave him at the end of the series for the benefit of herself and her child.

Wow

This whole series is simply..

And an..

One minute I was crying, the next laughing, screaming, crying again, swooning. Ahh I was all over the place.
I have such a series hangover now that I feel like..


Lindsay please tell me Joshua and Micah Jr get a book. I need it!!!!!!!!!!

And last but not least.... Sharon this is what I wanted to do to you the whole book!!!!

I've never hated a character as much as you!!!!

[Debbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! After reading the third and I suppose final installment of this series, I'm blown away! I read all these books in quick succession, because once you get started with the first pages of the first book, you get so caught up in the story, you can't put it down until you see what happens next, and how it ends! I'm just glad that when I started reading them, they were all finished and I didn't have to wait on the next installment! Highly recommend!

This book is not for me because of this....

[Tracy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall strong story of Leese her struggle to stay with the man she loves

Micah trying to save Leese from the clutches of the mob

Ryan trying to do whatever it takes to help an save Leese.



I had already figured out that Leese's biological father had to be the big boss.
It was a nice touch overall but then I started thinking say he is the BIG boss he could have
Pulled all contracts off Leese from the first book.
He would have attended her wedding. He could have taken out that bitch Shannon from the start.
He should have had Roger , Nadia's husband contracted for trying to kill his daughter.
If Micah's mom could have dug up the details he sure as heck would have been able to.
He had the power to end it all from day one.
Why didn't he? He knew everything.


I freaking hated the rape in book two.
The infidelity in this book made my stomach churn.


The worst three things a man can do rape, cheat an kill an Micha had done all three.
Seems unforgivable yet Leese forgives him an never turns him away.
Then the endings of all ending....yah. Looks like there maybe another book?

[Morgan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Untraceable was an amazing, emotional rollercoaster ride. This book brought me from flaming mad to very excited to extremely anxious to obnoxiously happy! I experienced it all with this book. There were a few knock-me-off-my-feet, I-totally-didn't-see-that-coming shockers, and I loved every second of it!

Warning: 50%-70%ish will probably make you very angry. Try to refrain from hurting yourself, others, and your e-readers! It gets better. I promise.

To sum things up: Untraceable was the perfect conclusion to the Untouchable series; it wrapped up this series perfectly. I absolutely loved the ending, especially the epilogue. And I strongly recommend this series.

I definitely saw the potential for a spin-off series and I can't wait to see if Ms. Delagair gives us more. :)

I gave Untraceable (Untouchable #3) by Lindsay Delagair 4 STARS. I recommend this series to mature young adults who enjoy books that are a little out of the box :)

[Sharon · Rating 4 out of 5]

4/5 stars.
Just not 5 stars,because it took me to well over 30 % of the book to really feel like i was absorbed in it.
Then, all hell broke lose and the next 60 % were nailbiting,nervously reading what the hell was going to happen next.
The epilogue was a nice touch,and i hope there will be a 4th book, who knows.It has potencial.Maybe joshua can step in his dad's footsteps :-)

The big mistake i made before reading this book,was reading a bad review.
I will not do this again,because it set me up for dissapointment,that in the end didn't come.
So,ufff,,,thank God it was a HEA and a good book.
Thank you for writing it...

[Breanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVED your book. Untouchable, Unforgivable and Untraceable were by far one of the best reads I've read. I would love to see you expand on the family someday. I've never read Mafia books but you caught my attention with the truly unforgetable love story between Micah and Leece!!! Thank you for publishing such amazing books.

[Jacqueline's Reads]

I'm not sure if I can go on with this series. Unforgivable fucked me up too much. I'm too emotional and upset over it. I need time to heal..

SERIES REVIEW

Ahhh!!!!! OMG, these books are amazing. Imagine the best soap opera ever mixed with the mafia/contract killers and you have Untouchable. It's been a few days since I read these and they are still with me. Lingering. Popping up at the rarest of moments and staying with me until I have either immense anger at certain plot points or want to die with the awesomeness of it all.

Book one was by far the best. I will say, for me at least, the books are extremely predictable. Not in a bad way. At some times the predictability makes it easier to take what's coming. I think what's so special about these books is how raw and real-life they are. Life sucks and this book just proves that. Granted, in a more far-fetched movie-like way.

Book 1 is just like expected. It plays out with a familiarity to many movies but in this case we get to become more connected to the characters. Who they are and why they do what they do. At some points I thought maybe Annalisa had a bit of a secret with her evasive driving and all but turns out she's just from an extremely rich family. Which is sorta what gets her in this mess to begin with. They both lead secret lives as if it's fate that they be together.

Book 2, was again, predictable and upsetting for that matter. But OMG when he loses his shit and goes on the attack I almost died.He might have been under the influence but HOLY CRAP. I kept thinking to myself, that did not just happen. That did not just happen. It did and I had to refrain from throwing my Kindle. Aside from that I still have to rate it five stars. Everything else, not makes up for it, but alleviates some of the pain so I can remember all the other amazing things that this book offers. Like I said before it's real, it's gritty and not for the faint of heart.

By book 3, you just want them to get their happily ever after, finally.One of the worst things about the book is has it's very outlandish and over the top moments but it still maintains that aura of real life. I was a lil upset, okay I lie, extremely furiously angry and appalled by another choice made my Micah. I felt like I was the one int he relationship with him and I was sickened. Had to actually take a break from reading. But not for long. I could not get it out of my head and again, once I got past the harshness of it all I again, had no choice but to give this book it's well earn 5 stars.

Can I just say the end was just, ugh, really!!! I mean how everything worked out. I expected it but even in a book the world is not that small. A final truth is revealed and it all just seemed to flow together the ways things can only in books. Her family is just as big of a secret as Micah's.

This book, no, this series, affected my life. Even with all the shit it throws at you, I could not help but love it. I could not think of anything but it when I wasn't reading and even when I was done with all three just wanted more and more. I'm tempted to read it again less than a week later even knowing every single detail by heart as if it's engrained in my mind. If romantic suspense and New Adult is your thing, do not miss this book. It's a cross between Captive in the Dark and Sempre.

Read more reviews on my blog | Like me on Facebook

Untraceable by Lindsay Delagair is the third and final novel in the Untouchable series. The first book, Untouchable I enjoyed, the second book Unforgiveable was my favorite but Untraceable left me bored and mad.

First, Untraceable is very heavy on the religious side. I found it annoying to constantly read about “God’s plans” and constant church talk. Not that there is anything wrong with it but I just don’t want it pushed in my face constantly and I felt it was in this book. I was excited to read about Micah and Annalisa finally together, expecting a baby, and being a married couple. It quickly ended when Annalisa was kidnapped and Micah was forced into finding her. This is where my problem starts… Annalisa made Micah promise not to kill anyone else now that he has been baptized but Micah does something that to me is inexcusable. So cheating on Annalisa is okay, but not killing? It drove me up the wall and of course Annalisa was okay with this, even after seeing it on tape. It has always bothered me that Annalisa found it so easy to forgive him for the biggest things that most women would not forgive.

I found myself skimming the mob scenes just because it seemed like the same plot in all three books. I really missed Ryan who barely is in this novel. He was my favorite character and was deeply missed.

The epilogue was just as annoying as the book. There was no real ending, leaving a lot of questions which makes me think the author maybe planning a spinoff series. I guess after reading all three books in a week left me more annoyed with the characters then anything else.

Untraceable was my least favorite book. I enjoyed the series but I give Untraceable 2.5 stars. I wish this book left me on a high like the first two did.

[Dana W · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was so all over the place with how i felt about this book. i was mad i was sad i was happy. It was an emotional roller coaster. I am very thankful that the author did the epilogue the way she did. I was thinking we were just going to get our "happy ending" and that was it. loved how she showed how they did get their happy ending for a while... but also showed that their past is not far behind you no matter how much you try to hide from it. Very really and made the book even better. Very hopeful that the author continues this series at some point. Certainly feel like this is a great series and worth continuing. After the first book i was a little unsure if i would continue the series because there were times that i was rolling my eyes at the story but as the second book continued Leese really grew into a woman and not the annoying teenage girl she was portrayed in the first book. I am VERY glad i continued reading the series. I would definitely rate this a must read and would recommend to others!

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this series, but as I said in my reviews of the first two books be aware that there are strong religious themes and ideals portrayed throughout all three books. If you aren't into hearing about God and forgiveness and prayer, don't bother reading them.

The first third of 'Untraceable' started off very slowly, but once the action picked up it didn't stop. As other reviewers mentioned, between 50-70% you may want to make sure there's nothing around that you can throw - it's going to get you riled up. Leese's big surprise wasn't that big of a shocker to me since, if you paid attention, there were hints in the first two books. I still enjoyed it very much and thought that it helped to add a little more depth to the storyline.

Finally, I was happy with the ending and loved the epilogue. It wasn't just a HEA, it was real and authentic and left limitless possibilities of what happens next up to each reader to decide. Delagair could easily build off of this series, but I was quite pleased with the conclusion.

IM soooo Freaking pissed off right now! I cant explain how emotionally hurt I am. MY rating should say how much I love this book and series but that doesnt mean Im happy about the bomb drop on me at the end!!!! WTH!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME...Man I've never wanted to tear someone apart like I do Sharon and I wish Leese would grow some and beat someone sensless!! OK....I'm too emotional right now. There better be a book 4 or I'm gonna die right now!!!

Loved, loved, loved this whole series! What an amazing author. Micah and Leese may be my absolute favorite book characters. Ryan is as well. The adventure, suspense, romance, and love is off the charts in all three books. I read all the books in a couple of days literally could not stop reading. I feel bad for my kids when I get a good book in my hands.This was greatness. I can't wait to see what is next for Delagair. Highly highly recommend this series. 6 + Stars.

WOW! INCREDIBLE! AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! HEARTBREAKING!
This book was such a roller coaster ride...my heart was literally in my throat the whole time. This book put me through the ringer... I was happy, excited, sad, heartbroken, angry and disgusted. This is the second book that I have read where I literally cried my eyes out. I was hooked from page 1 of Untouchable to the last page of Untraceable!!
I absolutely adore Micah and Leese- they have become one of my favourite couples!!

[RO Mejia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pow! The beginning of this book is actually near the end of the book! The reader is grabbed from the first paragraph, and thrown into a tailspin! Everything is in reverse. Then the author rewinds to the beginning of the book! How smart is that?! Ms. D. knows how to get you hooked every time! The chemistry between Annalisa, (Leese) and Micah is so amazing, and the faith Leese has in her husband is anything but ordinary. The glass is always half-full when it comes to him. They have a playful banter that keeps the reader intrigued. In this third book in the series, Leese and Micah renew there wedding vows to each other, and take over where they left off. They Make wild passionate love to each other, in every way possible, while trying to make up for the valuable time they've lost. Ms. D lets the reader see through the window into the soul of Micah. We see him raw, and vulnerable. We see the childhood he lost at the young age of 14, and we see his guilt eating him from the inside out, for the life he has lived, and the lives he has taken. The reader feels the inner turmoil, and the demons he is fighting within, and the acceptance he is starving for from his parents. He doesn't think he is deserving of his wife, and their child. He can't fathom his life without them now, and can't think of ever being able to go back to his old life, even if he has made a deal with the devil herself.


In this novel, the reader gets to see the tender side of a one-track mind of family killers. David, (Micah's brother), falls in love with Leese's mother, (Nadia). The transformation is gradual, and amazingly so, he becomes a likable character. This book is a fully-blossoming story. A saga, if you will, by itself. It is generational, with a lot of surprises. I figured out some of the the plot twists, but other twists and turns of the plot were so amazing, and I didn't see them coming. It was a wonderfully exciting thrill ride through adventure! It left me breathless at times to see how wonderful MS. D. put it all together, and her intriguing thought process. What a talented, and insightful Author!


This ride was a thrill of a lifetime, with so many plot twists!!! Just when the reader is pulled in, and thinks there couldn't be more, they get hit again.


I give this Phenomenal, Rapture-Filled, Bullet-Proof, Tear Jerking Saga, A Big 5 stars!!! This is a definite read friends!
