BLURB:
Razor Slade was never meant to survive this long.
Now he’s inside, where power shifts fast, loyalty means nothing, and weakness could get him killed. His reputation might keep men at bay, but it won’t save him from the enemies closing in. Especially not the ones who know exactly how to use his biggest vulnerability against him.
Tristan Hale-Fitzroy.
The barrister who should have been his escape.
The man who became his undoing.
Newly qualified and finally standing on his own, Tristan has everything he’s worked for within reach. Until Razor’s case lands back in his orbit. What should be simple isn’t. The deeper he digs, the more the cracks begin to show. And the more dangerous it becomes to keep looking.
Because someone powerful wants Razor buried.
Taking the case could cost Tristan his career. His future. Everything.
But walking away would cost him Richie.
As the pressure builds inside and outside the prison walls, lines blur between justice and control, loyalty and survival. And when the truth finally surfaces, it won’t just be Razor’s fate on the line…
It’ll be whether either of them are brave enough to claim the other.
Claim is the final book in the Pretty Poison Trilogy—a dark MM romance packed with obsession, dangerous devotion, prison tension, courtroom warfare, rich/poor conflict, morally grey men, and a fiercely earned happily ever after.
REVIEW:
God, I thought CF White left Tristan and Razor in an impossible situation in book two but lord I was not prepared for the absolutely impossible series of choices these men face… honestly my mind was ringing and I was reading as fast as could as a chant in my mind rang – how will this ever work out!!
This is an unbelievably gripping conclusion to a 3 book world CF White has sucked us into. A world rife with danger and agendas paying out by old puppet masters and our MCs are battling it out in legal corridors now that are riddled with illegal and unethical men who will stop at nothing to protect the power they have claimed
Fear not, the author has a very satisfying comeuppance planned for them but before that the MCs will stop your heart for multiple reasons. Rich and Tris are all kinds of swoon, Razor and Tricky are fire.. this so a slow burn as an individual book but honestly you wouldn’t want it any other way trust me! Rich and Tris also have a habit of running int danger head first as they make those tough choices and choose each other – the conclusion nearly killed ME and I wasn’t th one in danger 🤣
It’s also full of sweet moments as Rich realises his worth and Tris really comes into his power.
Found family (and even family) is a very strong theme here. It’s beautifully depicted
This book will give you racing hearts, deep satisfaction, a shot of adrenaline and tonnes of dopamine as you face all odds with Tristan and Razor on this epic conclusion.
