When the local cops were faced with a bombing, one that was similar to ways in the past, they were horrified to learn Arthur Cronin had just been released from prison after ten years. It hadn't taken him long to start on his vengeful and vindictive response to what had happened to his family just prior to him being put inside.

Dawny's husband Desmond was in trouble, working for a Motor Cycle gang - one that cop Lexi Winter used to belong to. Lexi needed to help her colleagues bring Desmond in; f ...more

This series just gets better and better and I love Lexi more and more with each book, Sarah Barrie has created a character who would be hard not love no matter what she does, she is strong, feisty, witty and true to herself as well as being so caring after all she has been through, this was so hard to put down, really hard.

When there is a bomb blast it looks like the crims have blown themselves up, but did they, the police are deep in an investigation and Lexi is working hard but when she gets a call from an old friend, Dawny (yes she is back) needing help with Desmond Lexi ends up in contact with members from the MC she was a part of a long time ago, one who were a big part in where she learnt her special trade of hacking.

Arthur Cronin once president of the MC is back released from prison early and he has revenge on his mind for the death of his wife and child, Lexi is working undercover to rescue Desmond and find out who is doing the bombings and why, Arthur is after criminals and cops and he doesn’t care who he kills in the process, Lexi finds herself in one hell of a situation trying to save the life of a child and things aren’t looking good, which side will Lexi choose, her past or her future?

My heart was jumping throughout this book, I didn’t know where Lexi was going, being back with the MC her old friends Zander, Nate and Freddie and then there are the bad ones Breen and Rocco do they trust her? What are Rachael and Finn thinking about Lexi and what is going on?

This book is brilliant, I highly recommend it, I highly recommend all three books in the series you must read them all in order and if you haven’t you are missing out and woohoo there will be another book and I can’t wait for it to come.

Sarah Barrie’s stories are not to be missed, they are fabulous reads, with fabulous characters good and bad, and this one is edge of your seat suspense action packed but witty and filled with so many emotions as well, many thanks Sarah Barrie for another keeper.

My thanks to Harlequin HQ and Netgalley for my copy to read and review. ...more

“Cop or criminal? When you're undercover, the lines can get a little blurry.“

My Thoughts:

Vendetta is the third exciting instalment in Sarah Barrie’s series featuring vigilante turned cop, Lexi Winter.

I love Lexi, she’s smart, brave, and kickass, if also somewhat reckless and unpredictable. She doesn’t hesitate when her former neighbour Dawnie asks for her help to rescue Dannie’s husband Morris, and reacts quickly when she is unexpectedly confronted by her past. It’s not an easy thing for her to ...more

Ace hacker, former sex worker and vigilante Lexi Winter had become a cop and not keen to revisit her criminal past. But when old friends invoked the wrath of a local motorcycle club - the same club Lexi herself used to work for - she raced to help them the only way she could: undercover. Torn between old loyalties and new responsibilities, she must decide once and for all which side she was on.

Being a third book in the series, this one had the advantage of skipping character introductions and im ...more
