Without You: Deranged Drifters MC Book 3

Deranged Drifters MC #3

by Logan Gray

He loves the ladies, and the ladies love him...

Tripp Molloy is the town playboy. When your father is the President of the Deranged Drifters, one of the most dangerous and well respected motorcycle clubs in the tri-state area, you have to live it up before the gavel moves inevitably into your hands one day, and the responsibilities of the club rest solely on your shoulders. That is, if you can live long enough to see that day.

She’s a girl who’s only ever wanted a family and a home to call her own…

Avery Sullivan doesn't realize how quickly her life will change when she helps the bleeding motorcycle club member in the middle of the street after being shot by a rival club. Not only does she learn the dangers that come with being affiliated with the club, she also learns the dangers of being with the playboy of the town.

Now he’s made her his world, and she’s finding being the object of his affection both exhilarating and terrifying…

Avery comes from foster homes, and she's never known family or love like she experiences with Tripp. They learn from each other every day, and she knows that without him, she'd be left with nothing. And he has made her his entire world.

As the pressures of the club start to weigh on everyone, and the pressure at home by Avery to have a baby, Tripp starts to lose control. He decides to do the only thing he can to take back control, even if it means alienating the only woman he's ever truly loved.

Will his pride keep him from making things right with her before it's too late, or will the sins of the club be taken out on her? If Tripp loses Avery, he loses everything. And Avery is ready to walk. What happens if he decides to fix things when it's too late, and he finds out what life is like without her?

About the author

Logan Gray is a writer and authorpreneur who likes to create books like artists like to create art. Description is important, but she wants to allow the reader to make the story their own. While she wants to give the reader what he or she needs to see the picture she's trying to depict, she doesn't want to fill the pages with unnecessary description to restrict how the reader views the characters or places.

While this may not appeal to all readers, she hopes it appeals to others who like you add their own touch to the story. Maybe they would rather the walls be white instead of gray. Maybe they'd like to envision the person is tall instead of average height. While the description as she sees it is there, it's not written so strongly the own interpretation cannot be made and applied. It gives the reader some creative freedom in a hobby that isn't always as flexible.

[➦Paulette & Her Sexy Alphas · Rating 4 out of 5]

While studying in the library with her friend, Avery Sullivan heard the tires screeching and gunshots echoing down Main Street in Griffin’s Beach. It’s not an uncommon occurrence, but it usually takes place after dark.



Tripp Molloy is lying in the street, bleeding out. Nobody seems to want to help him, but then, out of nowhere, an angel shows up and starts to help him…… Well, that's how Tripp felt. He can't quite tell if it was the blood loss that caused him to really see an angel or not


Some folks might assume their meeting was out of the ordinary, but the residents here are aware that it was just another shootout on Main Street involving the two competing biker clubs.


Alright, I was really taken aback by the shift in writing style from this author. My friends advised me to be patient with her since she’s just dealing with the growing pains of being a new writer. Since I had already invested in this series, I figured I’d take my time and get through it... To say I was completely shocked is an understatement.

I had some serious worries about Tripp being the president's son and his reputation with women - I’m not sure how to put this delicately, so I’ll just say it: he’s known as a total player.


So, with that being said about Tripp, and my previous worries about this series made me a little hesitant, to be completely honest......

OMG, now with Avery's character, her backstory just shattered my heart.
For me, 'Without You' began as a cheesy love story, but gradually transformed into a gut-wrenching tale of love. What a shocking ending that just tore my heart apart.

If the author can keep up this style of writing, I'm totally down for more. But if she goes back to writing books like the first two, I guess I'll just have to give up on the rest of the series.

So this was not that good because of the writing. The main couple Tripp and Avery start out as instalove, and are very immature. Thing's start to go south because after marrying Avery wants a baby and Tripp doesn't. Considering they're 24 and 19 it was understandable. But Tripp being an idiot like all the men here didn't voice he didn't want one yet and started wearing condoms again after Avery stopped her birth control. So being young and dumb, and not asking any questions she assumes he's cheating on her. Which he was not. They fight. She walks and then supposedly get's killed by a different MC club. But of course being the reader you get the feeling she's not actually dead. Melody a club bunny is right there to give him affection. He gives in only a month after Avery's supposed death. Keeps her around, and now this bitch is pregnant. Tripp is still using Melody for sex 6 months later. We get little bits of Colt and Lex's relationship, and they're still drowning and almost looks like they're starting to really dislike one another. At the end of the book we got a pregnant ow, Psycho's woman Lacey is back. Psycho is probably the best character here and should just get his own book. I'm guessing it's the next one? But there was no resolution with Tripp's story so no HEA for this book. Is it in the next book? I have no idea. This is the worst book so far. But I'm guessing if Avery returns she'll end up raising this baby. Not gonna lie. That's a pet peeve of mine. I hate h raising ow's baby.

I just love the angst in these MC books. I’m skipping to book 4 for the conclusion of this couples story.

That ending is messed up!!!!

I really liked this book until the end! That ending is so messed up, and I'm not even talking about what happened to Avery! That's really upsetting in itself. What I'm talking about is how he goes right back to that club whore and gets her pregnant with in two months after thats messed up! Especially the way he treated his wife and not wanting a baby. Can you be anymore disrespectful!!! I mean really!!! That's just disgusting. And to top it off he still believes she's alive and did any way. Wrong just Wrong all the way around!!!!

Without You: Deranged Drifters MC book 3

My heart is broken, I kept hoping as I read that it wasn’t true 😢 This was a hard read because Logan Gray brings her characters to life in my head. It was a great read ❤️ 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Different

It was a very sad story. It was hard to read at times. I just it had a different ending that some how they would find her and they would work through it all.

[A.B. Shepherd · Rating 1 out of 5]

WTF WAS THAT???

Ok, so I jumped into this without reading the first two books in the series. I thought it could be read as a standalone. I'm still not sure it can't, but it sure ended horribly.

Trip is the worst MC I've ever read.

This is the first book I've ever one starred because I actually hated it.

I truly hated this.

Don't think I will be reading this author again.

Great read! The ending made me mad initially but I got some resolution in book 4. Still made about some things in that book. Hate how he jumped immediately in bed with the one person his wife hated and all the placating the other members did towards Tripp. I also don’t love the theme of these strong women becoming weak and losing their voice. Overall I’m loving this series.

[Dee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story.

Wow. I did not see this coming. Tragic. I'm hoping there is more to this story in book 4. The story is well written. It shows life is not fair. There are consequences, feelings of guilt, failure, and so much more.

[Kim Brewing · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was really into this story but I feel like it just stopped. I need more, I know there is more to Avery's story and dang it I want it. I'm jumping right into the next book with my fingers crossed.

I skimmed quite a bit and then the ending felt like too big of a betrayal to come back from.

[Lulu H · Rating 1 out of 5]

the worst!

The ending is awful! The h is murdered and H grieves but knocks up the bunny after his wife died two months earlier! That's it?! Wow, horrible.

[Shell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tripp and Avery are actually books 3 & 4. (I’m sure we keep seeing them after that too but it’s their main story leading to the HEA). Their story hurts a bit. Tripp falls good and hard for Avery. Completely changes and it’s actually really really sweet. Until he listens to his dumb best friend that having kids ruins marriages then he pulls away. Avery thinks he’s cheating since he starts using condoms again. These two just needed a conversation. Then Avery “dies” and Tripp knocks up the bunny that is her nemesis. Super sad about that. You are allowed to have sex if your spouse dies especially so freaking young, it would happen. BUT I wish it didn’t he was just so darn sweet on her. I wish he had pined for her and believed himself to be right that she wasn’t actually dead. She forgives him pretty quickly after she returns from the dead and the outcome of how/why she died is quite interesting with a lot of karma dished out. I think I ended up being okay with his sort of betrayal because the writer made the h okay with it… but… eh, still wish it were different. Also all of it could have been avoided if her best friend who saved her TOLD HER HUSBAND she was ALIVE. So there is that.

3.25 stars. Much better than the first one but still in dire need of editing. Avery making Tripp prove himself to her was the highlight of this book. Unfortunately, Tripp goes from being great to awful with no good reason. One conversation with a jaded, fucked up brother turns him into a selfish asshole who doesn’t really deserve Avery.
