This was an emotional rollercoaster to the conclusion of Luke and Ana’s story. There were twists and turns that I did not expect. While this was filled with all the delicious relationship build up Ms. Jones is known for, this also included plenty of danger and action.
This is not a standalone but is well worth reading the previous books to get to the end.

In Luke's Revenge we have such a powerful story here that was truly magnificent. I am just going to do a review for the trilogy as a whole in this one. So in the first two books we basically have a set up, where our hero, Luke aka Lucifer, and then our heroine Ana. Luke and Ana had a instant love affair, where there was a strong relationship to the point where it came close to engagement. But then when her brother turned bad, Luke had to make a difficult choice and had to kill him. But that choice tore their relationship apart. Now its been years later, and they have all been put on a hitlist and as Luke and Ana work together with the Walker Security team to stay alive and defeat their enemies, they end up reforging their relationship and learning to heal from old wounds. We get some solid secret reveals and we also see Luke and Ana really hash out the issues in their relationship and why it didn't work out for them in the first place.
I really enjoyed this trilogy so much, not my favorite from this author, but such a solid one and it really was so engaging. I loved that aspect of it as well. We also see how well Luke and Ana fit together, especially as they have grown from their past mistakes and learned to really rely on each other and have a certain kind of trust that is invaluable. I really admired the way that these two stuck together. It was really tough to see all the trauma and grief that they needed to learn to overcome as they have had so much pain together but through them in a forced proximity situation they were forced to deal with their issues and learn to heal together.
This trilogy was simply super and I had so much fun with this pairing. I am looking forward to the next pairing from this author!

After finishing Luke’s Revenge,i’m going to say what i thought of the entire story.
There were parts i liked,Luke and Ana took their time,but ended up stronger then before.
Though their back and forth about who hurt who, and why, did get tiresome after a while….
The action was at a good level throughout,and kept everyone on their toes.
Friends that could be trusted turned out to all be Walker Security,no surprises there.
Enemies turned out to be the people i suspected,mostly….but i was glad to see confirmed the come to life again Kurt wasn’t amongst them.
The solution to the whole problem they were trying to solve turned out to be a little too easy in my book,though.
And the “invisible assassin” everyone feared?? WTF happened there??
All in all,an entertaining story that could’ve been told just as well in a duet,if i’m totally honest.

Another fantastic conclusion! I'm a sucker for these Walker Security men. They love their woman and protect them with their life. Luke was awesome and I like that Ana can hold her own. As always I enjoy seeing Savage in pretty much every new couple's story in the series. Savage is just so entertaining!

4.5 stars! Review to come…
September 26, 2022
I'm going to start off by saying this trilogy must be read in the order of release because of the way the story runs, each of the prior books leave off with a cliffhanger which leads us to this final book with a conclusion that will have you at the edge of your seat.
Luke ‘Lucifer’ Remington has loved Ana Banks for a long time even though circumstances have forced them apart but now that they are together again and have worked somethings out things are kind of looking up for them...I say kind of because there are people around them dropping like flies and they are on a time crunch to find a treasure or they may be the next to drop. But since Luke works with Walker Security you know this story will have a happy ending, it just takes a lot of twists and turns to get there.
I would recommend this book/trilogy to those that enjoy Steamy Romantic Suspense and Second Chance at Love Romances.
Happy Reading!!!

In my humble opinion, the resolving matter could have been done more precisely and not with so many rushed moments, hints or those a bit awkwardly placed "needy" moments between Luke and Ana, while attending more dramaturgically significant matter...
But well, I'm just a reader...I guess it all had a greater plan and vision while making the story, I'm sure...
Still, the action was on spot but all these misfits I located and detected didn't help the general impact in the end *shrugs*

4.25 stars-- LUKE’S REVENGE is the third and final instalment in Lisa Renee Jones’ contemporary, adult LUCIFER’S TRILOGY, erotic, romantic suspense series-a part of the author’s Walker Security world. This is is the continuing story of Walker Security specialist and pilot Luke ‘Lucifer’ Remington, and FBI Agent Ana Banks. LUKE’S REVENGE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of LUKE’S TOUCH aka LUCIFER’S TOUCH.
SOME BACKGROUND: Six years earlier Luke Remington met and fell in love with FBI Agent Ana Banks but life, death, betrayal and vengeance pushed Luke out of Ana’s life, and in the two years since they have been apart, Ana struggles to accept what happened and why. When Luke gets word that he and Ana, as well as several members of his original team are part of a hit list, Luke and the team from Walker Security go in search of the woman he loves, only discover betrayal at the highest level.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Luke and Ana) LUKE’S REVENGE picks up immediately after the events of Luke's Touch in which Luke and Ana continue to rebuild their fractured relationship, as they search for the truth, and a missing package no one knows anything about. A necessary return to The Ranch, her late father’s sanctuary and training grounds for assassins and elites, Anna and Luke must face the reality that all is not as it appears to be. Struggling to comprehend the how and why of more than one personal betrayal, our couple, with the help of Walker Security, search for the elusive ‘package’, a package that has resulted in the death of many, and the double cross of many more.
The relationship between Luke and Ana continues to rebuild but Ana struggles with what was; what happened, and the possibility of it happening again. Luke knows that Ana is the only woman that can hold his heart but he has to prove to our heroine, she is everything he has ever wanted and more. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters include many of the Walker Security team members we have met in previous story lines: Savage, Adam.Parker, and Blake Walker.
LUKE’S REVENGE is a story of power and control, greed and obsession, betrayal and vengeance, forgiveness and family, second chances and love. The premise is dramatic, intriguing and engaging; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are charismatic and dynamic.

Luke and Ana are racing to figure out who's out there trying to take them down. Kurt's behavior is definitely suspect, so Luke in particular, is keeping eyes on him. Now they just have to figure out who it is, what they want, and how to get it so they'll leave them in peace.
Along the way, their relationship is getting back on track, and their feelings are finally on the same page. Luke knows Ana is his, they've got everything out in the open finally and their future is there for the taking, right after they take care of their little problem...
I love this couple, and I love this conclusion to their epic second chance love story. Suspenseful, action-packed, and whew, their chemistry lit my Kindle up! Second chance stories are always best when the couple a) are both likable, b) deserve their second chance/forgiveness, and c) their chemistry is even stronger the second time around. Ana and Luke are all these and so much more. This is a true romantic suspense trilogy, and I'm sorry it's over.

This is the third and final book in the Lucifer’s trilogy. It picks right up where Luke’s Touch finished. So they need to be read in order. Luke and Ana’s journey is full of so many twists and turns. But these two work together to heal from the pasts. With the help of Walker Security they figure things out. The chemistry these two share is off the charts. There’s no denying these two be,one together. Lisa does a great job recapping to keep us up to speed as well. Great conclusion to this series!

Luke's Revenge by Lisa Renee Jones is book Three in the Walker Security: Lucifer's Trilogy. This continues the story of Luke/ Lucifer and Ana so you will need to have read the previous books to fully enjoy this one. This book has them understanding their feelings and that they are it for each other. This Trilogy has been so good. I always recommend Ms. Jones's book. Loved it.

Well it’s fair to say that the description of this book really leaves something to be desired. What we do know though is that from the second book, we were left off knowing that people who were thought to be dead are alive, and that we don’t quite know who’s on which side of good vs. evil. What we do know is that we want to hope for the best here for Luke and Ana. We know that they want to be together but they have so many scars, so much scar tissue from the past that they aren’t sure what’s going to be the outcome.
What keeps this third and final installment moving is the quest to uncover the package that is being sought, and to determine who’s behind the request – who do they need to close this deal for to ensure their safety. There are thought and hypotheses but we don’t quite know for sure who it is and even the motivation.
Relationships are used against each other, family is thrown in Ana’s face as a means to an end, and we start to see just how tough she is and how she copes with things. What’s impressive in this story is that just like all the other Walker women, she’s secure, established, no nonsese, but she can be broken just like anyone else. That’s where Luke and Savage come into play – giving her a foundation and a touchstone to keep her cool.
They go on a wild goose chase. They’re given information that they want to believe yet are skeptical at every turn in the hopes of getting to the end of things. We watch as they get excited and then get let down, and then get hunted. All in the name of answering questions.
Add to all that stress the fact that they are trying to figure out what their relationship is, and taking whatever moments they can together to get back to the place that they were happiest. We want to hope that they can put the noise from the outside world, the demons from the past aside and solve problems.
What happens at the end of this story and series is the ending and culmination that we are all hoping for. We get to see who’s behind it all, we learn who’s on what side and we’re able to draw a line in the sand. All things that are necessary for closure and all the ending that this story needs. Is everyone happy and alive? Nope – but that’s not what we need here. We need anxiety, happiness, sexual tension and closure. So on that note, we get another saga in the Walker crew coming soon and i’m going to check that out.

A good solid story, lots of shenanigans afoot to keep you on your reading toes along with lots of spice. Not really a trilogy as far as I understand a trilogy is -- this is one story broken into 3 segments... and segment 1 and 2 ending on a cliffhanger -- the story picks up without missing a beat. So you have to read them in order. Because if you’re like me and you get hooked on this story, you’re going to want to find out what happens at the end. This review is about all 3 segments...
Lisa Renee Jones does a good job with chemistry and pacing and spooling out plot to keep things moving forward. She knows how to hook you and keep you wanting more.
Things I love about this story - impossible love, good characters - both the mains and the supporting - complex plot stuff to keep things interesting and moving, good pace related to those plot things and the spice level. Things I wish for - less time spent in the push/pull (they want to be together, but they can’t, but they can, but they can’t — if this had been one novel instead of one story broken into 3 parts, I think there would be less reason to linger in that zone because it got a bit tedious, and skim-worthy, in book 2 for sure)… also wish there had been a more climatic climax and that the whole long set up didn’t feel short changed by what came across like a rushed (and kind of easy) wrap up ending. There were thousands of words dedicated to who done it, and what they were looking for and then it all very quickly resolved in book 3.
Segment 1 — Lucifer’s Sin - Their love is impossible. The past is something that neither will be able to reconcile... or will they? Super hottie FMC is an FBI agent in danger and MMC, Luke aka Lucifer, must save her despite their history -- he killed her brother on a job (had had to) and she was upset and shot him... so ya know... it's complicated.
Segment 2 — Luke's Touch - The middle bit, more plot, more desire, more pushing and pulling... and pushing and pulling... etc.
Segment 3 -- Luke's Revenge - And we finally get to more plot and then a rush to the end. Wanted more, a bigger bang for my reading buck.
This rating of 4 stars is for the story as a whole, which I liked a lot - despite my peeves! And despite wanting a bit more of a bigger and more rich ending.

I love diving into another Lisa Renee Jones series and I had been waiting for Lucifer’s Trilogy to be completely released. Then I decided to grab it in audio for the ultimate experience since the always amazing Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt narrated this story. Let me say, this was just what I was in the mood for. The story has tension and suspense - a second chance, romantic suspense that will keep you guessing. Luke (Lucifer) and Ana have so much tension between them with the events of the past keeping them from giving into the red hot chemistry that brews between them. All 3 parts of this story are high on fast paced action, steamy tension, mystery, and quite a lot of tension breaking spice.
They were once in love, but life and tragedy tore them apart. When threats from an unknown enemy thrust them together, they must learn to trust each other again. Their heat and passion ignites while they track down the source of their trouble and uncover truths from their shared past. Their journey to find a mysterious package reveals ghosts - both dead and alive - and they discover that they may have a future together after all.
I have always loved Lucifer in the other stories he appears in and was one of two characters I wanted to have their own stories. He was every bit of the good guy with dark edges I’ve always known him to be. Ana wasn’t what I expected, but I liked her better for it. She was just as skilled as the guys, but more emotionally vulnerable that you might expect. It made her a bit of a paradox at times, but honestly she worked for the story. I wished they had worked it out a bit sooner and had more of an opportunity to work together as operatives in the story. There is more focus on their past and the rocky dynamic that it created between them rather than the suspense plot. While I really enjoyed this trilogy, it doesn’t top my favorite of LRJ’s stories. Overall, I felt like this was an excellent addition to the expansive Walker Security series and sincerely hope to get more in the future, particularly Adam’s HEA.

Rated the other two books as, very generous, 2-stars so I guess this one gets it too since it did have more substance and not as much annoyance with the guilt of loving the guy who killed her brother. The ending was so rushed and the whole thing felt extremely anti-climatic.
As a whole series, this is a 1-star for me. Previous stars given for the story itself. It's with the execution of the story that I'm disappointed. The series really could've been edited down and made into one book (less circular arguments, less sex scenes, less repeating the same thing over and over in characters' heads, especially Ana's). I never understood Ana's character. She's a bad-ass FBI agent but her inner voice sounds like a teenager's. With the amount of testing and training agents do, her thought-process makes no sense. The psych tests alone (Logic-based Reasoning, Figural Reasoning, Personality Assessment, Preferences and Interests, and Situational Judgment) should've shaped her character but instead I was left with being told this person was bad-ass at her job and shown that she could not mentally handle stress in her personal life; a disconnect in my opinion. Then there's Luke/Lucifer. I understand that he's a character in previous books so maybe my issue is due do not seeing him in action as "Lucifer" but I'm so disappointed in this series that I'm not going back to look. Also, it seemed like Savage would be an interesting character too but for the same reason I won't be checking that out either. Also, I was looking for some sort of revenge, as in the title, and unless I spaced out, that part was non-existent.

Intense suspense and a blind chase after the anonymous bad guy commands the final book in the trilogy, along with a rollercoaster of emotions among all the characters.
I appreciate how the author eases one's return to the story from the previous book. Ana and Luke are literally fighting for survival while trying to locate the ultimate villain in this tight knot of a criminal organisation. I admit that I was pretty invested in the moment that they all finally met.
The tension is brick-thick as the couple deals with a dubious character which I found equally puzzling. Is he friend or foe? And what tales he weaves! I loved that I could never be sure until the very end. I fretted over his involvement and his intentions, but his interactions with Savage, that funny and brutal man, were hilarious. The Walker team members are as brilliant as usual, and I enjoyed all the banter and the spying expertise. Sometimes it felt like a spy movie:-D And the package that had everyone going crazy? There's a plot twist worthy of Sherlock Holmes!
Hot times mix with doubts put to rest in the couple's relationship. The plot builds momentum throughout the book until a suspenseful finale that leaves you unsettled to the last minute. Luckily, we get the happy ending we deserve. I think it's a good final book.

Intense, suspenseful & sizzling
Lisa Renee Jones certainly knows how to pack a punch when concluding a trilogy. LUKE'S REVENGE is a fast paced, intense filled, sizzling ending to the story of Luke "Lucifer" Remington and Ana Banks. This story picks up where Luke's Touch finished, so if you haven't read that or Luke's Sin then go no further, they MUST be read first.
Luke and Ana are continuing to rebuild their broken relationship, while trying to locate the package that no one knows anything about. Just what does this mysterious package contain, and how were they going to locate it? The Walker Security team are called in to help as time to locate the package is quickly running out. The threats and the danger continue to escalate, will the package be found in time? While searching for the package Luke and Ana realise they are much stronger together than they ever were apart. There's plenty of steamy moments to soak up, something I always look forward to with LRJ's couples.
Action packed and highly suspenseful to the very end, LRJ had me sitting on the edge of my seat with every page of LUKE'S REVENGE. A thrilling conclusion to this captivating trilogy.

Luke's Revenge is the third and final installment in Lisa Renee Jones' contemporary romantic suspense Lucifer's Trilogy. This series must be read in order.
This is one intense, fast paced, exciting, suspenseful, and steamy ride from beginning to end. This continues where the last bombshell of a cliffhanger left us in Luke's Touch.
With nothing as it seems, Ana, Luke, as well as the Walker Security team are almost out of time as they search for a package that the enemy thinks they have, but in reality they don't even know what it is, or where it is. As they try to figure it all out they must first figure out who they can trust. But the enemy is watching their every move and they don't know how. But as secrets come to light they will once again need to fight for their freedom together.
"You belong with me Ana, and you have from the moment we met. And I belong with you."
These two are stronger together, connected through a hot primal desire of sweet perfection. Their second chance at love is a constant push and pull colliding with secrets and past experiences that have pulled them apart in the past. Will these two make it out together? You need to read this heart pounding romantic suspense series now!

Luke's Revenge is the explosive conclusion of Luke & Ana's story & it's a doozie. Of course that means you cannot start out here, you must read the previous two books because this brilliant author writes layers upon layers in her stories. There's so much goodness in these pages, but I have to start out with this line as it's just that good in my eyes. There's a point where Luke says this in his inner monologue, "I mean holy hell-what makes a man stand next to another man naked and think it's time to talk about the Broncos football season, specifically their ball handling skills?" It's random in all the chaos going on but as a longtime member of #BroncosCountry, I totally understood the naked men LOL! Anyway, it was very entertaining to me despite all the brilliant suspense all around. The twists are coming in hot of course, the heat is on point like always, the excitement got my heart racing like crazy, and the supporting cast from Walker Security made me super happy. I know I've given nothing away except my Broncos football obsession, but you need to experience all of it for yourselves without my help so you know what to do! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Luke's Revenge picks up exactly where Luke's Touch left off...with the bombshell revelation dropped by Lisa Renee Jones. It's exciting, fast paced, intense, suspenseful and oh so spicy start to finish. Oh! For you Savage fans, he was present and at his snarky best. Ms Jones is a master of her craft. I've yet to read book that I wasn't fully invested in both the characters and their stories. Pure reading entertainment!
Ana and Luke fully realize they are truly meant for each other, are stronger together than apart and can overcome the insurmountable together. Now along with the Walker Team they're looking for a package that they have no idea what it is, where it is or how to find it. To top it off they're on a deadline. The buyer reveals himself and makes blatant threats that only heightens the tension and danger. An unexpected connection has Ana remembering where the treasure is. But it's not over til it's over cuz the danger just got even more intense.

This is the third and final book in the Lucifer's Trilogy series and it is intense, suspenseful, and filled with all of the twists and turns that will keep you glued to your kindle or book.
Luke and Ana are the perfect couple and their story is one that you will need to read from the beginning to understand how they got to this point. I love how Walker Security is always ready to help one of their own, as Luke works at Walker Security, they are all brothers and will be there for each other.
I highly recommend you read this series from the very beginning because you do not want to miss anything, you will be glad you did. I was so happy to see this book hit my kindle and I could see what would happen with Luke and Ana. I am always happy for this author's next book, she has a way of writing that I love all of her books.

We finally get the end to this trilogy and what a wild ride it has been from the beginning on page one to the end of this one. Luke and Ana have worked hard for their happy and while they are tasked with finding this so-called treasure Ana's brother stole it they do not know where it is but if they want to stay alive they will find it. At the end of the last book they are at The Ranch and find out Kurt, Ana's adopted father, is alive when he was presumed dead. There are so many twists and turns and this last book takes us for a few more journeys through the mountains of Colorado, into Denver, to New York, and back to Denver before the conclusion. Hold on to your seat because when Lucifer is flying the plane he is a smooth flying pilot but he can take you for a bumpy ride if he wants to.
I definitely recommend this trilogy. It is part of the Walker Brothers family and I will say it again, Adam needs to find a woman!

Luke’s revenge (walkers security : Lucifers’ trilogy 3)
This is the last book in this amazing trilogy by this author. This is the continued story of luke/lucifer and Ana, these two still have the intense chemistry between them. This is such a powerful story to end this trilogy. This book has it all suspense, drama, chemistry, passion and so much more all crammed into the pages of this book. I'm sorry to see this trilogy end because it was such an amazing ride with these characters. I can't wait to see what this author does next.

And it picks up exactly where Luke's Touch left off.. It's exciting, suspenseful, intense, and I love the interactions with Savage..
Luke and Ana struggles with everything what happened in the past, but they will get there..
Luke and Ana continue to rebuild their fractured relationship, as they search for the truth, and a missing package no one knows anything about.
With the help of Walker Security, searching for the elusive ‘package’, a package that has resulted in the death of many, and the double cross of many more.
There is greed and obsession, betrayal and vengeance, forgiveness and family, second chances and love. But also surprises...
It was al rollercoaster... but a very good one!

The past that Ana and Luke share that tore them apart has also brought them back together. Ana is cautious when it comes to Luke, but the demise of their relationship wasn’t because they weren’t in love and as the danger escalates around them so does the chemistry and love between them.
Luke made a difficult choice in the past, but Ana has always owned his heart. When circumstances bring them together the one thing he does know is that he isn’t about to let her walk away a second time and that means eliminating the threat against them before it is too late.
Intrigue that keeps you guessing, twists that take you by surprise and an enduring love that shows they are much stronger together than apart. I enjoyed seeing Luke and Ana fight for their relationship and it is always fun to catch up with the other characters we know and love.

What an incredible read. From the first page to the last you feel the emotion and suspense Luke and Ana go through. They are still trying to find out who is after them while trying to stay one step ahead of danger. Their bond gets stronger along the way. They realize they are better together than apart. With help from Walker Security they work on who is after them and who is the one pulling the strings. Luke and Anna have been asked to locate the "treasure". Though they still do not know exactly what it is. There is some twists and turns and surprises along the way. Which of course will leave you applauding how masterfully Ms Jones is able to craft such a story. A very entertaining and well written book. The chemistry and passion Luke and Anna have is amazing. Loved the HEA.

The plot of the book was really cool which is why I read all three books I definitely wanted to figure out who was behind the hit list. There was a lot of mystery and some pretty cool developments! Also I loved the side characters: Blake and Savage were really cool!
I liked a lot of the things in this book! I liked the story line: you've got action, mystery, spice, ECT.
Things I didn't enjoy: the internal dialogue between the two main character POV's were very repetitive. I could understand sometimes referencing a few memories for the story line but it was a lot of repetition. Books 1-3 heavily reference the same issues in the relationship between the two MC's. Maybe it was filler commentary? There were also a few grammatical mistakes which confused me but I figured it out.

OMG! I need a moment...This book had me at the edge of my seat! What a great finale to a fantastic trilogy! It's not often that I get so excited about a story...but that was brilliant! The romance was hot and passionate, but in a deep and soul-touching level! However what is even more exciting is that the mystery part was extraordinary as well! The twists and turns were sooo perfectly done! They had my mind spinning and still I couldn't tell what was going to happen next! I loved it!
Last but not least, the narration was perfect! That was no surprise to me, though! Both narrators are well known to me and high on my favourites list! :)

Just finished the ARC of Luke's Revenge and wow!
The way author Lisa Renee Jones tells a story has always been amazing but this finale will blow readers away. There are so many surprises, twists and turns, bad guys coming out of the wood work and good guys getting rid of them.
Walker Security books have always been action packed, steamy, with sometimes less than stellar heroes but there are always a heroine who love them, believe in them and will be there no matter what happens. Exactly what happens in Luke's Revenge.
You do want to read this trilogy in order but it is worth every minute!
