RATING 4.5 STARS
Unholy Trinity is book six in the Rebel Kings MC series. I have loved this series from the beginning. One might even say I’m obsessed. This one is a little different than the others. We have Cam’s sister, Orla as one of the characters. This is a MMF poly romance. This story spans two books, this one and book seven, Eternally Blessed, which is now available. I admit I waited to read these two books because I didn’t want to have to wait between books.
Orla O’Brian is sister of Cam, the president of the Rebel Kings MC. Orla has never known any life outside of the Rebel Kings. First with their dad, then her brothers, Cam and River. Orla has also been in love with Nash since she was a teenager. Only back then, no matter what Nash felt for her, he wouldn’t give in. He never felt he could, until now. They were finally together. They loved each other. It was all they had ever wanted, until Locke came into the club. Then something shifted. They fantasized about him being with them. They dreamed about it. Then dreams became a reality.
Locke Halliwell used to be part of the Dog Crows MC but was brought into the Rebel Kings when the Crows were taken down. He finally has a life he can be proud of. A chance to be a better father to his teenage kids. To say it is devastating as we learn little bits of his life previously is an understatement. And on top of it all, there are the things he is feeling for both Orla and Nash. The three are drawn together and none of them can fight it. But he is convinced that when they give in, it will just be a temporary thing, that they are just scratching an itch. That their feelings can’t be real. But he’ll take whatever they’re willing to give for as long as they’ll allow him.
Nash McGovern is the VP of the club. He has loved Orla for what feels like all his life. But now there is Locke. He just seems to fill an empty spot in their lives. That when one of them is missing, they aren’t complete. But Nash has his own demons to fight. Demons long instilled in him from his horrible parents when he was a kid.
A threat has once again returned to the Kings, this time it seems to be focused on Orla. They are scrambling to figure out who it is and why. But things are not always what they seem. Secrets are everywhere. Danger is everywhere. It seems like this family of sorts just can’t catch a break. No matter what, as always, the members of the Rebel Kings stand together. Their hearts are filled with love for each other. They protect each other. I loved the moments when they were all together, just relaxing, enjoying their company.
So while Orla, Nash and Locke are figuring out what they are to each other, how to be together, they are also fighting to protect each other, fighting an unseen enemy. There is a cliff hanger I have to admit. But that’s why I waited for both books to be available. As soon as I finish typing this, I am on to Eternally Blessed to see what happens next with these characters I love so much.

THIS MMF IS A SCORCHER WITH SOME JAW DROPPING MOMENTS
OMG I have no words.
Nothing coherent at any rate, but this book just blew everything out of the water in style.
As it’s a duet, like the first two in the series, I’m taking some comfort that the second part is entitled Eternally Blessed, because otherwise, the (expected) cliffie ending here is simply jaw dropping.
I honestly don’t know how she does it, but it’s like Garrett can see into my deepest soul and pull out a bunch of characters who feel so real to me that I have conversations with her about what they get up to once their stories are finished.
Here, she takes things into another plane entirely as we finally get to see the Rebel Kings VP Nash in a relationship with club queen Orla O’Brien, sister of the club’s President Cam.
But, of course, it’s not that simple, as former Crow Locke Halliwell has been on their minds too, and they want him for more than just a place in their bed.
Seeing this trio navigating their way into the amazing relationship they crave is both joyous and fear-inducing.
Because you know the blade’s gonna drop sometime, the Kings have enemies both known and hidden.
When the past rears its ugly head, and a threat comes from an unexpected place close to home, things come home to roost, with all those the Kings love in danger and the future clouded over.
I cannot wait for more but good lawd, I don’t know how much I can take! The heat between the three of them takes the air away, but the risk to everyone I love is like a vice crushing my chest to dust.
Book seven needs to be in view soon otherwise I’m gonna go nuts!
There’s also some wonderful bonus appearances from Garrett’s wider universe, but I’m still not sure I’m in appreciation mode just yet as I’m still reeling from the fall-out of this book.

Huge respect for the author releasing an MMF relationship amongst a rabble of ferocious m/m fans. I don’t read much MF anymore but this series needed Orla’s story, she is a strong, badass woman and frankly it’s rather unrealistic to have every single person in the MC club to be only into men so I think this story helps with the realism of the club and its atmosphere as well as the dynamics of the family and all the other people part of it. It made sense and it worked well. The guys weren’t my all time favourite characters but I don’t expect to love every character in a series and I’ve loved the guys of the last few books so absolutely no complaints.
I thought the MMF scenes were written in an appealing way although it reaffirmed that I have no desire to return to MF reads. It was so weird to read about tits after a million m/m books. In saying that this book is filled with female positive descriptions of Orla - ‘fierce, goddess, warrior, queen’. She is never degraded or treated with anything other than utmost respect which I appreciate especially in an MC book. There is no women hating or slut shaming. Orla is described as a real woman, she has curves and soft parts, stretch marks and endo pain. She didn’t annoy me. I didn’t love her scenes but there was enough without her in it that if you squinted really really hard you could possibly convince yourself this is m/m.
I loved seeing all our known characters, intriguing hints for future books, the sweetest dog and some little hints of Remy from Christmas on Firefly Hill. Overall this wasn’t my favourite Rebel Kings - that is not what I imagined Nash to look like! But it felt necessary, was well written, different and this is still only half the duet with it ending on a cliffhanger. I’m interested to see what comes next and hanging out for Viktor’s book afterwards.

First buddy read of the year with my Gracie-Lou completed - after she made me wait a week to read this!!
The plot in this one was a little naff and I'm not liking the dynamic between the three of them so far. It did improve nearer the end and I'm hoping book 7 explores the three of them even more. Everything just felt a little too surface-level for the most part.
I don't think it helped after Alexei, Saint & Cam, I was expecting something a little stronger from Garrett Leigh regarding another trio. I did find Nash & Locke's development rather interesting and I'm hoping we see more of this!
Nash is definitely my favourite out of the trio, and he's definitely not what I was expecting weirdly. I'm hoping for more from Locke and Orla.
Overall, I'm enjoying it but I have that feeling of wanting just a little bit more.
Book Series Ranking:
1. Devil's Dance & Saint's Song - 5 stars! (Alexei, Saint & Cam)
2. Reluctant Renegade - 5 stars! (Folk & Decoy)
3. Unholy Trinity - 4 stars! (Orla, Nash & Locke)
4. Love Thy Brother - 4 stars! (River & Rubi)
5. Forgive Me Father - 3 stars! (Mateo & Embry)

Nash ya tiene unos 6 meses con Orla, por fin con la mujer que ha amado desde que era un niño. Pero su felicidad no es completa, porque ambos desean a Locke con ellos. Pero el antiguo "Cuervo" no les permite acercarse, no les permite amarlo. Así que cuando el peligro comienza a acecharlos de nuevo, Locke decide que es mejor tenerlos aunque sea por poco tiempo, que no saber nunca que es la vida con ellos. Sin embargo, el peligro no esta donde ellos pensaban. Serán capaces de encontrar y destruir el "peligro" que viene por ellos? Podrán dejar sus temores atrás y vivir su vida al máximo?.
Un libro que tenia muchísimo tiempo queriendo leer, porque el "universo" esta lleno de todo lo que me gusta, peleas, familia, amor, confianza, y mucho sexo 😉. Por fin pude conocer un poco mas del pasado de Locke, y algo del pasado de Nash, sin embargo, el pasado de Orla debería ser bastante conocido hasta ahora, pero todavía hay cosas que quedan sin conocer, y no se si eso influirá en la trama o no. Ahora, me gusto volver a leer de mis personajes preferidos, como son Cam, Saint y Alexei, pero también de conocer a los niños de Locke y un poco mas de los otros. Lo único que no me gusto mucho fue que pensaba que este libro iba a tener un "Felices por ahora", pero resulto que termina en un Cliffanger y ahora tengo que leer el próximo para saber que va a pasar con este trío, además de como van a manejar los nuevos problemas que enfrenta el club. Así que si, continuaré con esta serie.

Reeling. No words. I'll be back. This book has ruined me.

If you're familiar with the Rebel Kings series you know about the attraction that exist between Nash, Orla and Locke. Book #6 has them exploring that attraction.
It's clear there's something between all of them but Nash struggles with his feelings for Locke. I liked the progression of their relationship and how he gradually relaxed with him.
This isn't their whole story though. The book ends on a cliffhanger so the next one can't get here fast enough.

Orla, Nash and Locke are throuple perfection. Look, I stopped reading why choose because it's not usually a representation I like, I'm a fan of polyam romance and this one was perfection. We've witnessed Orla and Nash's relationship throughout the previous books and at last they are together. And between Orla and Locke. Daddy Lock, that man is hot and sweet af and no wonder they both can't resist him. I love that the emphasis is more on how his relationship with Nash takes time and a bit of healing on Nash's part.
The cliffy killed me, but at least next book is already out.

Too many things and absolutely nothing happens in this book. I was bored for a while. The fact that it ends on a cliffhanger doesn’t help. I didn’t feel the connection among these 3. I dunno. Not too much into MMF I guess. I anticipated this but the feelings felt off. They said they all loved each other but I didn’t feel that love tbh. Probably I won’t read the next. I just don’t care.

Honestly was a little underwhelmed with this one. The tension between Nash, Orla and Locke has been building for so long throughout the series, and everyone and their dog has had their suspicions about their exact relationship, but for me it fell a little flat because everything just progressed so easily.
The fact that Cam had zero reaction at all, except to give Nash advice about not feeling left out or thinking he was good enough, left me confused. It didn't feel like Cam at all - I know he's been having a break and learning to deal with things better, but you can still have an emotional reaction to something. He felt like an impassive robot, whereas I was under the impression from reading the rest of the series that he would at least have an opinion, and a loud one at that, on Nash and Orla having another 'brother' in their relationship, especially after he felt so guilty for keeping Nash/Orla and Rubi/River apart for so many years. Like, the acceptance is great and all - really emotionally mature (yay), but it didn't feel like a true Cam response? Especially when I've been binge reading this series over the past week so it's all really fresh in my mind. I just expected at least one conversation/argument/screaming match about it!!! Orla deserved to get some sassy responses in there!
Other than that, I really love Nash! I'm so happy he's finally getting his time to shine and the way he's opening up to Locke is ridiculously sweet. I do not have Orla's endless patience about him being gone allllll the time though - I lean more towards her fiery temper 😂 I'd have given up and walked away by now, no matter how much love is there, because you can't have a relationship with an invisible person! Although I'm Ace so the hot sex life is never going to be something that keeps my interest anyway (cannot relate) so walking away from a ghost is more normal behaviour in my eyes😂
I feel like this is a ranty review, but I'm so invested in this series and these characters at this point that anything less than pulling my heart out and making me bawl my eyes out just doesn't feel good enough 😂
I did like the little mentions of Finn (Lucky Man) and Shay (Edge of The World - which I still need to read), and I absolutely love how every book interconnects with each other, like a much darker, grittier Sadenverse.
Genuinely looking forward to the next book though and the ramifications that follow the decision to keep the real threat secret from the majority of the club - man did that backfire and I imagine the guilt is going to be of epic proportions, so hopefully I feel more emotionally invested in Nash, Orla and Locke in their final book.

Finally Nash, Locke and Orla's story!
Get ready because this is a long book and the sexual tension between them permeates the whole story and it will keep the reader craving for more.
At the beginning of the book, Orla and Nash are already together: that shocked me a little because they've been dancing around each other for years and I would have liked to see Nash finally surrendering to his love for Orla.
Anyway, even if they're together, Locke is always on their mind, they fantasise about him and they yearn for his presence. Same goes for Locke, who's attracted to them both.
Orla is great, she such a wonderful woman, strong and fragile at the same time, smart and fierce, but also tender and loving (I adored her relationship with Locke's daughter).
Nash is precious, he wants to take care of everything and everyone and, at the same time, he has to deal with his sexuality (there are painful mentions of his parents abusive behaviour towards his bisexuality).
Locke never oversteps, neither in the Chapel nor between Nash and Orla. He's reliable, a protector, but he's also a broken soul. What he endured in the past was awful and painful and I'm scared of what will happen in the next book. I hope the author will skip the details of his captivity.
Now, what didn't totally work for me was Locke and Orla's relationship.
Nash and Orla grew up together, their feelings are strong and theuy're always been there. They love each other and their bond is also strong during their sex scenes. They are destined to be together.
But Nash and Locke's connection is something more powerful and more beautiful: they are tied in another level, they feel each other into their hearts. Locke and Nash are soulmates like Cam, Saint and Alexei, like Decoy and Folk.
When they're together, especially during their first time, I didn't feel Orla's absence in their bed at all. They were completely into each other.
When Cam is with just one of his lovers, you can feel his soul bleeding for the one who's missing. But not here. Orla, Nash and Locke's bond feels more like a V relationship, where Nash is the vertex and the other are friends.
Orla and Locke have a great friendship, they great in bed together but I cannot feel the overwhelming love.
We'll see if my opinion will change in the next book, the second part of their story.
The two main plot regarding Locke's past and the MC's business are very interesting and I cannot wait to see how all the problms will be resolved.
Be aware that this book ends with a huge cliffangher.
I received an Arc of this book from ForewordPR and this is my honest review.

Anyway, even if they're together, Locke is always on their mind, they fantasise about him and they yearn for his presence. Same goes for Locke, who's attracted to them both.
Orla is great, she such a wonderful woman, strong and fragile at the same time, smart and fierce, but also tender and loving (I adored her relationship with Locke's daughter).
Nash is precious, he wants to take care of everything and everyone and, at the same time, he has to deal with his sexuality (there are painful mentions of his parents abusive behaviour towards his bisexuality).
Locke never oversteps, neither in the Chapel nor between Nash and Orla. He's reliable, a protector, but he's also a broken soul. What he endured in the past was awful and painful and I'm scared of what will happen in the next book. I hope the author will skip the details of his captivity.
Now, what didn't totally work for me was Locke and Orla's relationship.
Nash and Orla grew up together, their feelings are strong and theuy're always been there. They love each other and their bond is also strong during their sex scenes. They are destined to be together.
But Nash and Locke's connection is something more powerful and more beautiful: they are tied in another level, they feel each other into their hearts. Locke and Nash are soulmates like Cam, Saint and Alexei, like Decoy and Folk.
When they're together, especially during their first time, I didn't feel Orla's absence in their bed at all. They were completely into each other.
When Cam is with just one of his lovers, you can feel his soul bleeding for the one who's missing. But not here. Orla, Nash and Locke's bond feels more like a V relationship, where Nash is the vertex and the other are friends.
Orla and Locke have a great friendship, they great in bed together but I cannot feel the overwhelming love.
We'll see if my opinion will change in the next book, the second part of their story.
The two main plot regarding Locke's past and the MC's business are very interesting and I cannot wait to see how all the problms will be resolved.
Be aware that this book ends with a huge cliffangher.
I received an Arc of this book from ForewordPR and this is my honest review.
January 12, 2026
January 2026: Read special edition paperback along with the audiobook.
December 2024: Same thoughts and rating as before. I didn’t realize I read this earlier this year. 🤦🏻♀️ So that means that I’ve also read the next book this year too. Oh well. My memory is getting so bad.
April 2024:
4.5 stars — OMG that ending! That’s why I waited until the second part was released before I read this. Otherwise, I would have been on tenterhooks the entire time!
First off, I’m not a fan of this cover. It’s supposed to be Nash and this is the first cover in this series that I’m not happy about. Nash is blond and this guy looks like he has dark hair. Also, and this is just personal preference, I don’t find him attractive at all.
That aside, because the cover’s not that important and has no bearing on the story, Garrett Leigh rocked the first half of Nash, Orla, and Locke’s journey. Not that I had any doubts. 😊 Everything felt like it progressed in a natural way. There’s always been sexual tension between these three, but this found them doing the work to make their relationship a reality. I’m especially happy that I didn’t have to endure lots of porny lady bits. The sex scenes were done really well!
There were lots of great moments in this book. Time with Rubi and his hilarious nicknames for everyone. We get to meet Locke’s daughter, Willow. Of course there’s Decoy, Folk, Saint, and the rest of the gang, but we get more of Ranger too. I really love this group of guys and their families.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT CLIFFHANGER?!
I won’t pretend I didn’t know it was coming but poor execution cause that particular scenario could’ve been avoided!
*Heavy sigh*
I loved everything about this, I’ve read brotherhood before but nothing quite compares to the way Garrett Leigh writes her bikers (I feel like I’ve mentioned this in all my reviews but it’s the realest thing EVER.) They have such easy love I honestly believe their type of found family could change the world one step at a time.
But Ms. Girl needs to free our people!! They’ve struggled enough!😭
This is an MMF story with beautiful individual relationships that don’t overshadow or undermine each other. I love love love Locke and Nash’s first time together!

2.5 ⭐️
This one was a bit of a slog. It annoyed me that we didn’t get to really see any of the development between Nash and Orla it just suddenly slipped to them having been together for 6 months or so. I also felt like you didn’t really get to see the development between Orla and Locke and Nash and Locke you were just told they were all attracted to each other.
The plot was chaotic and was left very unfinished and I’m actually not happy the next book is Locke, Orla and Nash again because I was bored of them by the end of this one 😭

I love this series so much. This was a great addition. I love that we got to know Locke and Nash better. I love Willow! And while I prefer no F in my MM, I’ve loved Orla all along and the way it’s written completely works for me. Did I skim the sexy times with Orla in them - yes, but I still love how they all are with each other. Off to read Eternally Blessed now ❤️

The cliffhanger. 😭😭😭😭

October 29, 2023welp here we are. I was anticipating this book bc I was obsessed with the small crumbs of orla nash and locke in the previous books but unfortunately it did not hit for me the way I was hoping :(
I hate writing long reviews especially when I don’t really know how to say what I feel. Something about this book just did not interest me. I was honestly bored the first 50%(ish?). The flow of it was off and it felt all over the place. I felt like there was way too much happening but nothing happening at the same time?
There was no big build up to the three of them getting “together.” I guess the small pieces from the other books were enough to skip it? Idk but tbh I did not feel a connection with these 3.
It was mainly Nash and Locke with a little bit of Orla? Or Nash and Orla with a little bit of Locke?
Again, this is just my opinion because I know others who enjoyed this.
I did enjoy the last 20% and unfortunately for me I am a nosy bitch so I will be reading the next book in this duet to find out what happens
So for now it’s going as a no rating. Maybe I’ll change my mind maybe I won’t. 🤷🏻♀️
anyways, I received this arc from GRR and as always this is my honest review✌🏾

Oh. My. God. Amazing. Review to come once I've found my words.
Fast paced, exciting, hot as hell, heartbreaking and real edge of your seat thrills is what you'll get with the latest addition to Garrett Leigh's AMAZING Rebel King MC's series.
Nash, Locke and Orla were utterly perfect together, the way their relationship worked was so effortless, so beautiful *sigh*.
As always, the side characters all have their place in the story and I love catching up with the rest of the Kings and their lives.
I wasn't expecting that ending and even though it threw me for a few minutes it was perfect. I couldn't be more excited for the next book 😍 Bravo Garrett

J'attends chaque nouvelle sortie de Garrett Leigh avec impatience. J'adore sa saga "Rebel Kings MC", j'aime tellement son univers et ses personnages. Pour autant, j'avais beaucoup d'appréhensions concernant ce sixième tome, tout simplement car il s'agit d'un ménage MMF.
Cette fois donc, l'histoire se concentre sur Orla, Nash et Locke. Orla et Nash se connaissent et s'aiment depuis très longtemps. On sait déjà, grâce aux précédents tomes, que Locke tient une place importante dans leurs vies, et qu'ils ont envie d'un peu plus avec lui, et pas seulement dans leur lit...
Comme je le disais, je crains les MMF, car, dans le peu que j'ai pu lire, le F est de trop pour moi... Sauf qu'ici, on parle de Orla, la sœur du président du club, une femme au tempérament de feu, pour qui le rapprochement de Nash et Locke va être le plus important.
Alors ouais, je ne cache pas que j'adorais les moments entre les deux hommes, mais au final, les trois s’emboîtaient parfaitement.
Garrett Leigh sait mettre en avant les sentiments de ses personnages. Il y a peu de sexe (chose qui est souvent mise en avant dans les ménages, ce que je regrette car le reste est trop peu exploité), mais il sert vraiment au développement du trouple, c'est si bien écrit en fait. J'ai aimé comment elle avait abordé la relation entre Nash et Locke, car il ne faut pas oublier que Nash est un novice, qu'il n'a presque jamais eu de relation avec des hommes, et surtout, que Locke est le seul pour qui il ressent le besoin d'un "plus".
J'ai aimé en savoir plus sur Locke, car c'est aussi, sa propre histoire que nous offre l'auteur. Un homme abîmé, mais aussi un père aimant, même s'il n'a pas pu élever ses enfants comme il l'aurait souhaité.
Toute la bande est bien sûr au complet, personne n'est mis de côté. Cela me fait toujours chaud au cœur de tous les revoir et interagir entre eux, telle une belle et grande famille. J'aime aussi tous les clin d'oeil de certains personnages issus d'autres romans de Garrett Leigh. Ah et puis, je ne serais pas contre un petit spin-off sur ce très cher Victor (avec peut-être un certain Ranger ? ^^)
Alors que ce tome devait être le dernier, j'ai eu une frayeur à la fin... Car au final, ce roman se termine presque en cliffhanger, j'espère que la suite est prévue pour bientôt !

Just finished it and my mind is all over the place but, ohh, so happy meeting my favourite boys again. Garrett Leigh has done it again, I'm really impressed by her writing style and amazed how the characters look so real, at least for me. I love love the dynamics between all the brothers and the way they support one another.
So happy to know Locke better, he's definitely a protector. I was very sad about the awful things that happened to him during his Crow's years.
Orla is definitely a strong female character, as we know from the first books, just how I liked female characters when I was reading MF books.
I'm glad that relationship wise things are starting to come together for Nash, after years of pining.
Now, I have mixed feelings about the three of them together, I did like them together, but didn't love it, if that makes sense. I mean, simply out, when it was just Nash and Locke I didn't feel like something or someone was missing. Maybe that's just me that reads mostly MM these days.
Now, plot wise, there's definitely some twist there that I did not see coming😳
The book ends on a cliffhanger and I'm anxiously waiting for the next one. I hope there isn't unnecessary suffering for either of them.😭
Great addition to the series and totally recommend, especially for those of you who loved the previous characters. This is definitely one of my favorite series of all time and I will always be curious about glimpses in all of the characters day to day life.

I love Orla. She's the spitfire who keeps everyone on their toes, and she's been a bright spot the entire series. It's been a bit since I read the previous book, but I don't remember Nash and Orla officially becoming a couple. So, I started out somewhat confused and disappointed that we didn't get to see them have that moment of coming together. But that didn't stop me from enjoying their journey to bringing Locke into the mix. Nash, Orla, and Locke were a puzzle that needed all three pieces to be whole, and we got a tiny glimpse of that before the cliffie blew it all up. lol Gotta see how they keep their puzzle intact!!
November 13, 2023
Looking forward to reading 2nd book. This ended on a cliffy. Great reading.
November 15, 2023
4.5 stars.
Yes, yes, yes!!!! I have been equally excited and nervous about this book. I love these characters so much but I have not been a fan of MMF books I have read in the past. I should have known Garrett wouldn't disappoint. Orla is a badass and was written that way. I love these three with my whole heart but Locke is my absolute favorite. I just want him to have all the good in the world. These three are so hot together but more than that they have such a beautiful love. I love how different all their relationships with each other are and how they make it work.
Just a heads up that this book ends on a cliffhanger. I knew the story was being broken up into two books, so I had a feeling it would end with one, but I just couldn't wait to read it. Garrett left a note at the end saying we won't be waiting too long for the conclusion. As much as I don't love a cliffhanger without having the next book out to read, I am very happy with the choice to split this into two books. Their story is just too big for one book. These three are now my favorite couple behind Cam, Saint, & Alexei.
My next sweep of the scene was for a mop of blond curls, and my heart gave a little lurch when I found it. When I found him, fighting like a fuckin’ gladiator, all wild hair and sun-kissed muscles.
Fuck me. I didn’t need any help defining my sexuality—that horse had bolted years ago—but it had been a long time since I’d set eyes on a man who made my blood rush like he did.
He didn’t have his blade, but he still carried a pipe and those fuckers hurt. A fact as real to me as a summer sky being the same colour as McGovern’s eyes.
A fact that didn’t matter. Cos I didn’t give a shit. If playing Priest saved a woman I’d never met from the curse of his dirty hands, I’d take whatever he threw at me until the end of fuckin’ time.
And McGovern?
I’d keep him for my dreams.
And there it was. The circle came back around, and it was a truly special thing how my obsession swung from one second to the next. Nash and Orla bookended my sexuality. I loved every gender. I loved it all. But I only felt truly whole when I had them both on my brain.
Fucking each other.
Fucking me.
Or even just laughing.
Just living.
I spoke without thinking. “You wake up as pretty as your woman.”
Nash slow-blinked, rolling his shoulders, wincing. “That ain’t true.”
He was wrong, but the words kinda washed over me as his voice reeled me in. Whatever Nash was saying, I could listen to him talk all day. Mellow, deep, masculine, everything about him was a tranquilliser to my fucked-up soul.
Except the wanting to bang him part.
That part was pure fuckin’ meth.
Locke silenced me with a swipe of his thumb over my lips.
Then he kissed me.
Like, really kissed me, as if devouring me whole was as important as shutting me up. As if his mouth on mine held the answers to every question I’d ever had.
And maybe it did, but I’d never fucking know it, because his kiss wiped my brain clean of every naïve dream I’d had of this moment.
I thought I knew what it would be like to kiss Locke—to kiss any dude, any person—who wasn’t Orla. But I’d had no fucking idea. No clue that the moment his lips consumed me I’d be a different person.
He kissed me hard, his hands rough and his tongue demanding, and I let it happen, barely kissing him back, barely breathing, until he slowed it to this chill ache of a thing that left me giddy all over again.
Gripping him for balance, I found my feet, relaxing into him, letting the rush of the unknown become familiar. His harsher touch and tougher exterior. The musky scent that was nothing like Orla, and yet still made me think of her as my tongue danced with Locke’s and my heart rate hit warp speed.
In the mess of flesh and bone I’d become, I took his hand and gripped the back of his head. Breakneck desire swept over me and I sank into his embrace, finally catching up and matching the dizzying pace that he’d set from the start.
“Your heart’s not going to explode. It’s safe with me. You’re safe with me. You know that, right?”
Nash covered my hands with his own. “It’s not you that I’m scared of. It’s how I feel. You deserve better than me to push you away because I can’t live in the moment instead of being stuck in my life how it was when I was a kid.”
I wanted to tell him that I didn’t deserve shit from him, the good or the bad. That it was him who’d earned a better man out of all this than what I had to offer.
But this wasn’t about me and my fucked-up self-worth. It was about a damaged man—a brother—who needed anything and everything I could give him, and I’d give him my whole fuckin’ world if he wanted it.
I sat up taller, reaching for him, coaxing him forward, letting my palms ghost over the bare skin of his ribs. “Kiss me, Nash. I’ll catch you if you fall.”
Nash gripped my shoulders. Then his hand slid to the back of my neck. “What if I land on top of you?”
“Then I’m right fuckin’ here.”
In the dark, I found Nash and we fell into the same headlong connection we’d shared the first time I’d ever put my lips on him. The kind that never ended unless a brighter spark took hold.
Nash was that spark for me, forever and always, but if he was the lit match, Locke was the dry tinder to the flame.
Nash fell asleep. As ever, he was restless, the stress he kept to himself for the sake of everyone else seeping out of him when he wasn’t awake to stop it.
He muttered my name, shaking his head. I held him close, trying to calm him, but nothing worked. It never did.
Not until Locke stretched his long arm over me and dropped his hand on Nash’s head.
Like magic, Nash stilled, a slow, deep breath easing through him, his body settling into whatever tranquillity Locke held in the palm of his hand.
He found rest.
He found peace.
Locke had a smile like the sunset on a late summer day. If we were apart, I always thought of him when the sky turned orange, the warm glow a reminder of how it felt when he slung his long arm around me.
I found some sweatpants and tugged them on. Then I stood over the bed, sucked in by them. There was space for me on the other side, and yet I didn’t move, unwilling to disturb the peace they’d found together. On the rare occasions Locke didn’t wait up for me, it always felt like this.
Precious.
Sacred.
I wanted in, so fucking badly, but I needed this too—this quiet, perfect moment to gaze down at them, her soft curves interwoven with his masculine brawn. Her dark hair spilling over his tattooed skin.
The wetness that dropped from my face onto his forearm.
I swiped my eyes with the back of my hand and crouched to ease his leg onto the bed.
Locke was a light sleeper. That he didn’t react made me hope it was because he knew it was me. A faint glimmer that grew brighter as I stretched out beside him and lay my head on his chest, my pulse finally slowing to the steady beat of his heart.
The tears kept falling, but as his arm lowered to wrap around me, I felt strong enough to survive them.
Ours. I took a seat beside him, imposter syndrome warring with how fuckin’ much I liked the sound of that. How much I loved these intimate moments with them. Romance had mostly given my life a hard pass, but these two beautiful fuckers made it seem so effortless.
So easy.
We reached the front as the band launched into a stomping, high-tempo number. Willow bounced like a motherfucker, gripping my shirt. I jumped with her, my world narrowing to my kid and the crazy day that had made her so happy. She was a whirlwind of energy—a life force—and there was so much fuckin’ love in my heart right now.
A few songs in, Rubi and Nash joined us, rioting like no fucker was watching. Willow howled with laughter. With joy. Tipping dirty Strongbow down her throat as I picked her up and spun her around, the bright lights blurring, the beat of the song pounding with my happy pulse.
These were the moments I’d survived for. The dreams that had kept me living on too many dark days to count. And I owed every single one to the man dancing like sin beside me. I felt him in every fibre of my body—my skin, my dick. My heart. Couldn’t look at him cos right now, I belonged to Willow, but fuck me. As if I’d needed another thunderbolt of affection for him.
None of it mattered. I cupped his face in my big, rough hands and kissed him, and I didn’t give a single shit who saw.
Lucky you. But as it dawned on me that Nash might’ve felt differently, his arms circled my waist and he tugged me closer, deepening a kiss that suddenly had no fuckin’ right to be seen in public. His tongue was hot and slick. It was mine, and I pushed him against a nearby van, letting the rain pelt us, until there was a very real chance I’d tear his fuckin’ clothes off before I remembered where we were.
I drew back, heart pounding.
Nash sucked in a shaky breath. “How can something I like so much make me feel like I’m gonna die?”
I tucked a stray curl behind his ear. “Is it a good death?”
“Death by Locke Halliwell? With my heart exploding out of my ribcage?” Nash rubbed his chest. “It ain’t bad.”
I let him calm down. Then I remembered why I’d jumped him in the first place, and those damn-fuckin’ words fell out of me. “I love you.”
Goddamn, I wanted to suffocate in every fibre of Locke fucking Halliwell.
Yes, yes, yes!!!! I have been equally excited and nervous about this book. I love these characters so much but I have not been a fan of MMF books I have read in the past. I should have known Garrett wouldn't disappoint. Orla is a badass and was written that way. I love these three with my whole heart but Locke is my absolute favorite.

And there it was. The circle came back around, and it was a truly special thing how my obsession swung from one second to the next. Nash and Orla bookended my sexuality. I loved every gender. I loved it all. But I only felt truly whole when I had them both on my brain.
Fucking each other.
Fucking me.
Or even just laughing.
Just living.
I spoke without thinking. “You wake up as pretty as your woman.”
Nash slow-blinked, rolling his shoulders, wincing. “That ain’t true.”
He was wrong, but the words kinda washed over me as his voice reeled me in. Whatever Nash was saying, I could listen to him talk all day. Mellow, deep, masculine, everything about him was a tranquilliser to my fucked-up soul.
Except the wanting to bang him part.
That part was pure fuckin’ meth.
Locke silenced me with a swipe of his thumb over my lips.
Then he kissed me.
Like, really kissed me, as if devouring me whole was as important as shutting me up. As if his mouth on mine held the answers to every question I’d ever had.
And maybe it did, but I’d never fucking know it, because his kiss wiped my brain clean of every naïve dream I’d had of this moment.
I thought I knew what it would be like to kiss Locke—to kiss any dude, any person—who wasn’t Orla. But I’d had no fucking idea. No clue that the moment his lips consumed me I’d be a different person.
He kissed me hard, his hands rough and his tongue demanding, and I let it happen, barely kissing him back, barely breathing, until he slowed it to this chill ache of a thing that left me giddy all over again.
Gripping him for balance, I found my feet, relaxing into him, letting the rush of the unknown become familiar. His harsher touch and tougher exterior. The musky scent that was nothing like Orla, and yet still made me think of her as my tongue danced with Locke’s and my heart rate hit warp speed.
In the mess of flesh and bone I’d become, I took his hand and gripped the back of his head. Breakneck desire swept over me and I sank into his embrace, finally catching up and matching the dizzying pace that he’d set from the start.
“Your heart’s not going to explode. It’s safe with me. You’re safe with me. You know that, right?”
Nash covered my hands with his own. “It’s not you that I’m scared of. It’s how I feel. You deserve better than me to push you away because I can’t live in the moment instead of being stuck in my life how it was when I was a kid.”
I wanted to tell him that I didn’t deserve shit from him, the good or the bad. That it was him who’d earned a better man out of all this than what I had to offer.
But this wasn’t about me and my fucked-up self-worth. It was about a damaged man—a brother—who needed anything and everything I could give him, and I’d give him my whole fuckin’ world if he wanted it.
I sat up taller, reaching for him, coaxing him forward, letting my palms ghost over the bare skin of his ribs. “Kiss me, Nash. I’ll catch you if you fall.”
Nash gripped my shoulders. Then his hand slid to the back of my neck. “What if I land on top of you?”
“Then I’m right fuckin’ here.”
In the dark, I found Nash and we fell into the same headlong connection we’d shared the first time I’d ever put my lips on him. The kind that never ended unless a brighter spark took hold.
Nash was that spark for me, forever and always, but if he was the lit match, Locke was the dry tinder to the flame.
Nash fell asleep. As ever, he was restless, the stress he kept to himself for the sake of everyone else seeping out of him when he wasn’t awake to stop it.
He muttered my name, shaking his head. I held him close, trying to calm him, but nothing worked. It never did.
Not until Locke stretched his long arm over me and dropped his hand on Nash’s head.
Like magic, Nash stilled, a slow, deep breath easing through him, his body settling into whatever tranquillity Locke held in the palm of his hand.
He found rest.
He found peace.
Locke had a smile like the sunset on a late summer day. If we were apart, I always thought of him when the sky turned orange, the warm glow a reminder of how it felt when he slung his long arm around me.
I found some sweatpants and tugged them on. Then I stood over the bed, sucked in by them. There was space for me on the other side, and yet I didn’t move, unwilling to disturb the peace they’d found together. On the rare occasions Locke didn’t wait up for me, it always felt like this.
Precious.
Sacred.
I wanted in, so fucking badly, but I needed this too—this quiet, perfect moment to gaze down at them, her soft curves interwoven with his masculine brawn. Her dark hair spilling over his tattooed skin.
The wetness that dropped from my face onto his forearm.
I swiped my eyes with the back of my hand and crouched to ease his leg onto the bed.
Locke was a light sleeper. That he didn’t react made me hope it was because he knew it was me. A faint glimmer that grew brighter as I stretched out beside him and lay my head on his chest, my pulse finally slowing to the steady beat of his heart.
The tears kept falling, but as his arm lowered to wrap around me, I felt strong enough to survive them.
Ours. I took a seat beside him, imposter syndrome warring with how fuckin’ much I liked the sound of that. How much I loved these intimate moments with them. Romance had mostly given my life a hard pass, but these two beautiful fuckers made it seem so effortless.
So easy.
We reached the front as the band launched into a stomping, high-tempo number. Willow bounced like a motherfucker, gripping my shirt. I jumped with her, my world narrowing to my kid and the crazy day that had made her so happy. She was a whirlwind of energy—a life force—and there was so much fuckin’ love in my heart right now.
A few songs in, Rubi and Nash joined us, rioting like no fucker was watching. Willow howled with laughter. With joy. Tipping dirty Strongbow down her throat as I picked her up and spun her around, the bright lights blurring, the beat of the song pounding with my happy pulse.
These were the moments I’d survived for. The dreams that had kept me living on too many dark days to count. And I owed every single one to the man dancing like sin beside me. I felt him in every fibre of my body—my skin, my dick. My heart. Couldn’t look at him cos right now, I belonged to Willow, but fuck me. As if I’d needed another thunderbolt of affection for him.
None of it mattered. I cupped his face in my big, rough hands and kissed him, and I didn’t give a single shit who saw.
Lucky you. But as it dawned on me that Nash might’ve felt differently, his arms circled my waist and he tugged me closer, deepening a kiss that suddenly had no fuckin’ right to be seen in public. His tongue was hot and slick. It was mine, and I pushed him against a nearby van, letting the rain pelt us, until there was a very real chance I’d tear his fuckin’ clothes off before I remembered where we were.
I drew back, heart pounding.
Nash sucked in a shaky breath. “How can something I like so much make me feel like I’m gonna die?”
I tucked a stray curl behind his ear. “Is it a good death?”
“Death by Locke Halliwell? With my heart exploding out of my ribcage?” Nash rubbed his chest. “It ain’t bad.”
I let him calm down. Then I remembered why I’d jumped him in the first place, and those damn-fuckin’ words fell out of me. “I love you.”
Goddamn, I wanted to suffocate in every fibre of Locke fucking Halliwell.

4.5 stars
This ended on such a horrible cliffhanger I had to start the next one immediately. I'll write a better review after I've finished that.

Unholy Trinity is the sixth book in Garrett Leigh's Rebel Kings MC series. Unholy Trinity is the first book in a polyamorous duet with Eternally Blessed. Please note that this series should best be read in order. Here's what you can expect from Nash, Orla, and Locke:
🖤 MMF dark romance
🖤 First person triple point of view
🖤 Cliffhanger with a happily ever after in Eternally Blessed
🖤 Motorcycle club romance
🖤 Hurt/comfort
🖤 Found family
🖤 Best friend's sister
🖤 Forced proximity
🖤 Single dad
🖤 Friends to lovers
As always, ensure you review the content and trigger warnings to decide if this book is right for you. Note that this list of warnings and triggers may be incomplete. Please take care of yourself while reading.
This is another incredible addition to the sensational Rebel Kings MC series. I wish I could give this entire series more than five stars, but I guess I'll settle for just five. Garrett is certainly the master of hurt/comfort, and Unholy Trinity is the perfect blend of angst, adventure, love, and spice.
Although Nash and Orla have been circling one another since they were teenagers, they don't really get together until Nash's self-imposed purgatory comes to light in Love Thy Brother. Their love is absolutely electric, but they can't help but become completely enamoured by Crow-turned-King, former firefighter turned bodyguard, Locke. Seeing them come together in all the different ways was everything I could've hoped for and more. It was emotional romantic, and guaranteed it will melt your Kindle. We get to know Nash better, and although he comes off as the eternally happy mother-hen (Alexei's nickname for him is golden boy), he carries trauma from his parents that he's shoved down over three decades. The weight of keeping everyone he loves safe is slowly crushing his soul. Although Orla and Nash are so great together, falling in love with Locke just feels right. And can we take a minute to talk about what a badass Orla is? The title of queen has never suited anyone more. I appreciated her chronic illness/pain representation and how it affected the story.
It was great getting to know Locke in this story, but he has trauma too. There's a reason he's not a firefighter anymore, and why he ended up running with the Crows. I absolutely adored his daughter, and her relationship with Nash and Orla was precious. One of my favourite moments in the entire book was when the Kings take Willow to a music festival. Of course, the O'Brian siblings are banned which tracks, but it was fun watching the other Kings out and about as well as Nash and Locke exploring the physical side of their combustive connection. Garrett continues to show us that love doesn't come in one particular shape or form. Two out of three O'Brian siblings are in polyamorous relationships, but they both look so different from one another and I love that representation. You don't want to miss the love and adoration these three have for one another.

‘His body blew my mind. The edges and bumps of his lean muscles. The hardness. It was so different to Orla, but I’d told her nothing but the truth about the magic of her soft curves and that dirty laugh I wanted to IV into my fuckin’ veins. About Nash’s rough, masculine jaw and his harsher touch. I was here for all of it. I was made for it, and whether Nash’s demons accepted it or not, so was he.’
I’m having a hard time putting into words how I felt about this book, it was just THAT amazing in my eyes! This follows a couple within an outlaw motorcycle club on the verge of becoming a throuple, so with that comes a lot of groundwork and emotional growth that’s also necessary for the second part of this story. There is a lot of important dialogue and internal reflection and I. ATE. THAT. SHITT. UP. Everything was necessary to the plot, everything was beautifully written, the pace was perfect for how large and involved this story is. It was fantastic, period.
The existing relationship between Nash and Orla, the feelings we see developing when it comes to Locke and what place he has within their dynamic; all of it was executed SO DAMN WELL. The action and plot never disappoint and I can’t scream enough about all of the side characters and how integral they are to the main story itself. We get to see all of the characters I’ve fallen in love with from previous books, how they’ve grown and what their lives are like after they’ve fought their own battles and made it to the other side. I love that their stories are never TRULY complete and we get to visit them so often 🥰 I’m truly in love with this series!
If you love a dark, action packed motorcycle romance, a little why choose moment, the most beautiful found family EVER and plenty of trauma to go around, this is DEFINITELY the book for you! This is book 6 in the series and you have to read everything that comes before it to truly understand and immerse yourself in the story. Trust me, it’s worth it!
I received a copy of this book from GRR and am leaving my honest review!

Woah, I’m a bit (utterly) flustered with not just with the explosive cliffhanger (though I have hope, all the hope) but with the fiery passion that we all must experience between Orla, Locke, and Nash. And it is an experience, one I loved, and want to relive.
“Nash was that spark for me, forever and always, but if he was the lit match, Locke was the dry tinder to the flame.”
Orla is the queen of my heart, and who I aspire to be. I adore her spirit, her attitude, and the way she has both Nash and Locke wrapped around her, in all the ways. Oh, Locke, I want to reach through the pages and hug him for eternity. He has my heart through and through, and Nash with his calm, mischievous smile, and desire to be himself is the heart of this book. I adore him so much. I adore them all together, and the love they have is powerful and beautiful. I am so thankful there’s another book on the horizon because I need more! Even though I know my heart will be put through the wringer, it’s gonna be worth it to see them find their eternal HEA.
