Ruthless Redemption

Outlaw Justice #3

by E.M. Gayle

The road to redemption is NOT paved with good intentions.
It's savage, reckless and dirty AF.


When we connected on a lonely pier I expected a simple one night stand. I thought I had nothing else to give.

But a Princess needs more and it turned out I was happy to give it to her.

Until it turned deadly.

We both had secrets too explosive to contain. And with secrets come consequences…

Now all we have left is each other and one last chance to make a stand.

She calls me a badass without really knowing what kind of man I really am.

But she will.

Because I’ll do anything to protect the woman I refuse to let go….

Good ending to the trilogy.

Honestly felt a little dragged out to me. And the twist with her father seemed off character to me. Maybe that’s just me, I don’t know.

Happy Houston and Izzy figure things out! Loved their happy ever after.

Finally book in the series and my complete review.

First book was ok-ay meaning not bad or good but got my attention.

Second book things were really starting to heat up and don't just mean the steamy naughty bits. The action was coming together and the club was starting to show up more. Didn't like the club to much. Even the members were left out of what was going to happen but everything else was good.

This last book had tons of action and so many twist and turns I couldn't guess what was going to happen. Izzy even started to show she was growing up.

Theses were pretty long books... just like I like them.

There's several spin offs from this series but I don't think they are MC books. I might come back later and try some others out.

What a journey to get to the ending that we all hoped for

What a conclusion to this trilogy!!!! After the first two book, Savage Protector and Reckless Pawn, I was in love with Houston and Izzy. This book picks up where Reckless Pawn ended and takes you to a lot of places that I did not expect or even consider to the ending that was hoping for.

As with the previous books Ruthless Redemption kept me reading late in to the night, or should I say early in to the morning, as EM Gayle's writing weaved together an absolutely fully engaging and emotional story. There are too many shocking revelations to count which make you gasp and grown out loud, so be warned that you need to read this book around people that you know or by yourself. The sizzling heated chemistry between Izzy and Houston melted my Kindle!!! I am sorry to see their story end.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Couldn't put it down

This series is a must read and I'm sad it's over.
Like the other 2 books, this keeps you guessing till the end, with twists and turns and characters you don't expect.

[Lin ( Nerdy Bookworm) · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story is filled with many twists and turns that leads to deception, betrayal and reliability.
Izzy Mazzeo and Houston continues to seek the whereabouts of the young girl that was sold into a sex slave by her nefarious father and deranged ex-fiancé. Izzy, Houston, the Wrath MC and the FBI are running against the wind to oust the underworld human trafficking business of the mafia boss and his assistant. While they’re in love their weakness is communicating with each other.
The characters are complex and the plot is unpredictable but engaging as the couple was feeling overwhelmed, distraught, heartbroken and betrayed in every way.

This is the third book in the trilogy and I do recommend reading them in order. Houston has returned and Izzy is not happy. This read is filled with drama and suspense, lots of twists and turns and steamy chemistry. I was hooked on this MC romance from beginning to end. I loved it!

If you've been following the "Outlaw Justice Trilogy" then you know this is book three. An let me tell you, it blew me out of the water. There are more twists and turns to this storyline and just about the time I thought things might settle down, BAM, something else happens to take things a step further. This is one powderful MC Romance with all the feels, turmoil, and plot you could ask for. Congratulations E.M. Gayle on a job well done.

This book went nowhere that I expected it to go, and ended up exactly as I hoped! Izzy and Houston didn’t have anything easy thus far, and getting the their HEA was no different. Demons from both of their pasts need to be slayed, and they both need to focus on living in the now. Lucky for us readers, they realize the now isn’t worth living if the other isn’t in it

Fast paced and riveting, I couldn’t look away until I saw how this all played out. And I did kinda girly squeal when Nina made an appearance!!!!! Yes, we go to Vegas for the story, because where else would a showdown with the evil mobsters in Izzy’s life take place

Needless to say, I loved the trilogy and the conclusion to this story. Each book was a complete piece of Izzy and Houston’s relationship, and this book getting them to their HEA did not disappoint!

[Renata Gill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Im not normally a fan of books that end in cliffhangers and stay clear away from them but as the author was providing all 3 books i thought to myself ....agh hell lets get this over with....once i started reading the first book Savage Protector....that was me ...bye bye world see you later.....
I spent the whole Saturday with my fat arse in my chair reading and reading....and when my kids wanted something, cried about something, were hungry, thirsty, whining, moaning and just plain trying to get on my nerves like they usually do i steered them to my husband without lifting my head for one minute.....not even for a smoke, coffee, food or bathroom break...and i think...no i know i have a pissed off husband....but i dont really care because i had the most amazing day reading the best books ever in a long time....so yes everyone i read all three books in one sitting........and my husband will get over it....a flutter of my eyelashes and a pout on my lips fixes everything.....

Ok let me just say this plain and simple.........you would really be doing yourself a disservice if you dont read this complete trilogy.
The story between Isabella and Houston will have you glued to your chair....there is action, drama, suspense and steamy scenes....there wasnt a moment that i wanted to skip a page or chapter..... lets be honest most of us do it......the storyline and characters were so well written that I felt like i was in the book myself watching this story unfold before me...

Izzy is ready for her father to be out of life, permanently. JD has a plan, but in the end sher realizes that she is once again just a pawn, being used as bait once again, and she is furious. Houston wants nothing more than to pull the trigger, and have the two men who hurt the woman he loves out of Izzy's life forever. But, between his club and the brother he hasn't seen in a long time, he may not may not get his wish or the conclusion he wanted.

Izzy and Houston will have to spend some time apart before they can find there way back to each other, and have the happiness they deserve. Sexy characters and an exciting, action packed plot. I think this is a must read series, with a happily ever after. Fantastic book, I loved it.

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book three in the trilogy and it concludes Izzy and Houston's story perfectly. This is not a standalone read, you really should go back and start at the beginning. I promise you will be back, all caught up and ready for book three in no time. The road that is traveled in this book is anything but perfect. There is still so much going on and a few more twists and turns that these tow characters have to endure and overcome if they want a chance at a HEA. Can they find the woman Izzy's Dad and ex-fiancee took and places in the sex slave trade? Can Izzy finally be free of these two crazy men in her life? Can Izzy and Houston solve the mysteries and secrets of their pasts to find happiness and a future? Together?

"QUICK" SOMEBODY CALL 9-1-1!!!
It's gonna blow! One jaw dropping, mind blowing bombshell that blows this baby wide open. Twists and turns abound with a few glitches that propel this bad boy to life flawlessly. One non-stop action packed, fast paced, page flipping delight that keeps you riveted on a razors edge. One wild rollercoaster ride with a full range of stormy, pulsing emotions bursts to life beautifully. Struggling through all the trials and tribulations you feel everything the characters feel. The two main characters chemistry is intense, off the charts, explosive. A throng of startling circumstances and unforeseen events blast those churning emotions forward in this thrilling storyline and gripping plot. Awesome job Gayle, thanks for sharing this little TREAT with us.

Izzy and Houston are still working with the Wrath MC to find the woman who they believe has been kidnapped by Izzy's father and ex fiance, to be sold as a sex slave. It means that Izzy must face them again - but not all is as it seems. The FBI are involved - and how does Huston's brother fit into the picture? Family, betrayal, explanations and death - it is all a part of their lives, but will Izzy and Houston be able to move past it all to enjoy the life together that they deserve? I have loved every one of the stories in this trilogy!

Whoa! This was so good. I had not read anything by this author before this. When I noticed it was part of a trilogy I went to devour the other two books before I dived into this one and was not disappointed. Even though you should read the previous books before reading this one so it's not too confusing, I will say that you could probably pick this one up and catch yourself up quickly. Izzy and Houston are damaged souls but so perfect for each other. They go through obstacles but it's how they navigate those and get to their love that's so intriguing. I loved this!

This is the conclusion of The Outlaw Justice Trilogy. This was an enjoyable series with good characters. Izzy and Houston took us places we hadn’t expected and kept the reader entertained and involved. Arguing and miscommunication wasted lots of time, but hopefully each such experience helped to grow the characters a little bit more until they realized that without the other, they had nothing.

This book was a fast-paced drama that will hold your attention from start to finish. So much is going on, but the loose ends are pulled together into a satisfying conclusion. Well worth reading!

[SheaButtahBookhead · Rating 2 out of 5]

There’s not enough details with major plot points. Leaving too much unsaid and unclear.
The story brought up hard topics like drugs and trafficking but as a reader, those topics and events got brushed over. The character reactions weren’t realistic, thought provoking, or emotional. “Yea XYZ happened to me but I’m over it” we’re not shown how these things effected the characters, we’re just told. The ending was abrupt and left me with many questions. Overall , it just seemed underdeveloped to me and could probably have been one book. The only thing that kept me reading was the duel narration.

[Soscha · Rating 4 out of 5]

WHAT?? You mean to tell me this is the end of the Sins of Wrath??

Apparently so! This is the 3rd in the "Outlaw Justice" trilogy, which concludes the story of Houston & Izzy, and as yet there's on indication the author will continue on with the other characters in the MC. Rather a bummer, as this really well done romantic action/suspense, with real authenticity to it.

Didn't see the twist coming, either. Damn. I'm sorry it's over.

I'll keep E.M. Gayle upcoming releases on my radar though!

When I picked up book 1 in this series a few days ago, it was the first time I had read EM's work. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and this final installment has it all. Action, heart wrenching moments, love, friendship, and coming to terms with things that are beyond your control can all be found in these pages. Oh, and I cannot forget a HEA. I would have liked the final scene to play out a bit longer but maybe there's more in store for these two as other books are developed (possibly as part of Zia and Vincent's story)?

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

[Margaret · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome motorcycle club/mafia romantic suspense. Izzy has been used by her father and abused by her fiancé. When Houston and the MC find her she’s in bad shape but Houston’s still attracted to her. They have a long history. He just left the military and returned to the MC his father started. There is intrigue, suspense, some violence and lots of complications. The story moves quickly and is a page-turner. I received a complementary copy of this book via Booksprout and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by this author especially in this series.

[Debbie Caswell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third and final book in this absolutely terrific series and do yourself a favour make sure you read them all as you need to if you want the full story

This is Izzy and Marcus's final chance to accept the love they have for one another They are still searching for the missing woman they believe has been sold into slavery by Izzy's father. They both still have demons in their past that they have to face before they can move forward in life together. When the showdown finally happens will they walk away to a life together or will they finally be destroyed.

It was great. It was a liilte confusing in the beginning, so I want back read book 2. I would recommend you read book 2 before reading this book. I feel bad for Izzy because all she had to go thought in all three book. I believe this the end of Izzy and Houston story. I miss reading their story. I love interaction between the characters. I love the ending. I would recommend the book to you, if you love romance novels even though this a Motorcycle club novel.

What an awesome conclusion to this series. I'm not normally tempted by serial books, but lately this suspenseful, full of action stories have been grabbing my imagination and attention as the story pulls you in and every detail is important. The love, hate relationship that continues between Houston and Izzy escalates and keeps the interest of the sexual attraction forefront, the danger is exciting, characters are engaging. I so very much enjoyed the series and this book.

What a ride these two have been on as this story wraps up. What started as a chance meeting has seen tears, blood, hurt and love throughout. Houston and Izzy are a great couple, marred with sometimes miscommunication issues. As the story progresses, we are sometimes treated to some angsty back and forth before a conclusion for the ultimate good. Will Izzy finally get the justice she deserves? All we know is for these two the road to happiness is paved with pain for a while before a HEA.
