This is book five in the series. This is an excellent gangland crime thriller. The writing is good. The characters are well developed. The book is paced well.

Oh I do love this series. This author is a superb writer and I have loved and enjoyed each and everyone of her books.
Just brilliant. Brillliiaannnttt.

I had actually read this book and for some reason I hadn't marked it as read, so when I was about to start the latest in the series I thought I'd not read this and started it again. Part way through I kept telling myself I'd read it but still wasn't 100% as things unravelled I knew I had read it. I was still enjoying it so continued which then meant I could dive right into the next book while everything was still fresh.
So what I'm saying is it's so good I read it twice.
The amazing Drew family are back and giving us another glimpse into the criminal underworld. As will all series i find there is always one character you really are drawn to and for me that is Scarlett. She's a woman on a mission and no one is going to stop her. She's fearlessly awesome. Trying to run a business and keep a family together can be difficult. But when you a criminal business its even more difficult. Family need to stick together, Don't they?
Another gripping read, for the best enjoyment of this series I would read them all in order. You will not be disappointed.

A welcome return to the dangerous underworld of the Drew family and as usual, Tallon fails to disappoint. Filled with unbelievable amounts of drama, you'll find yourself sucked in immediately.

I highly recommend reading the previous books in the series prior to delving into this one as having background knowledge will add so much more substance (and shock factor!) to the story. What a series!

Yet another addictive read, my favourite in the series so far. I sincerely hope there's another visit to the Drew family just around the corner.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review 📖

Yet again the author brings even more to the story of the Drew family. I absolutely love the characters she has in this series, showcasing strong females throughout.

Also the ending, as always, gives us a hint of what more is to come and I can’t wait for that.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy.

Another great read from Emma. Thrilling, gruelling, intriguing. More family saga from the Drew family... fantastic reads. Just keeps on going. Looking forward to next one in the series

Thanks to Netgalley and publishers for an ARC

Like I’ve said before what an amazing series this is, I’ve read every single one of Emma Tallon’s books and they in my opinion just get better with each one. I always get excited when a new book is being released and stop whatever I’m reading at the time to lose myself back into the world of the Drew’s. I really feel like i know the characters and usually end up frustrated at the way each book ends but it just makes me look forward to that next book even more!
I don’t want to say much about the plot as don’t want to give anything away but it’s a good one as always! You must start at book one though to get the full experience of this brilliant series.

Scarlet Drew is back with her badass attitude and ruthless ways in this next installment of the Scarlet Drew series. In the previous book, she had vowed revenge against her cousin Ruby, owing to her role in Scarlet having to separate from the man she loved and almost getting arrested by the police for her role in a previous murder.

In "Her Fight", both Scarlet and Ruby are engaged in a cat and mouse game, with each of them wanting to put an end to the other. The Drew Family is under a terrible strain because of certain truths which were revealed earlier in the previous books, two outside factions are trying to make a move against the family and the police are shadowing them relentlessly, putting a crimp in their underground businesses.

And it falls upon Lily and Scarlet to do their best in not allowing the family to fall apart and also to keep the business running. We get to see whether or not they manage to do that and what they do to make it happen, in this book. The book started on a high octave and the pace never slowed down throughout.

In fact, I loved this book more than the previous one and felt I could actually connect with the characters more, in spite of them belonging to a completely different way of life. All of them have been given excellent depth and many different dimensions, that I found myself rooting for them even in their criminal activities. I had thought this series will end with this book but was pleasantly surprised to know that the author plans to continue it. I absolutely cannot wait to read the next one and can't recommend it more to other readers. Definitely check this out if you want to read action thrillers of a gangster backdrop.

Number five in The Drew series and Emma has done it again, such a thrilling, gripping book. That will make the pages fly once you start, to see what happens next.

The story is based around criminal underworld boss and Matriarch Lily Drew and her family and it's got a punch that will make you gasp and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It has the usual amount of violence as you would expect from a book like this.

There are some great characters, with great power and strengths.
A real cracking read. You could read it as a stand-alone but you'd be missing out on a fantastic journey.

Emma Tallon has an amazing talent to be able to keep her readers gripped and entertained.
Thank you so much NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this excellent book. xxx

Admittedly, I came late to this series, but believe me, I am well invested now! I have loved this latest one just as much as the previous book.
The Drew family are complex, and it takes a little adjustment to remember everyone, but it soon came flooding back!
The drama is relentless, and you come to love the characters for so many different reasons. Gangland crime books are gritty, and shocking at times. This continues the series with all of that in spades.
Emma Tallon is a fantastic author, and I have no idea why her books aren't raved about more! The series has some of the highest ratings I've seen from a crime series on Goodreads, and they deserve every star.

Another brilliant book in from Emma. More dramas from the Drew family which keep you on the edge of your seat.

The saga of the Drew criminal family continues. Not only are they having to watch their backs from other firms, the tensions and hostile within the family are brewing and are ready to combust.

Another enjoyable instalment in this series.

Publication date 13th December 2022.


This is the fifth book I have read by this author. It is also the fifth book in the 'Drew Family' series but can be read as a standalone. I have also read 'Her Revenge' (book 1),'Her Rival' (book 2), 'Her Betrayal' (book 3) and 'Her Payback' (book 4) and absolutely loved each one and would highly recommend this addictive series.


I was originally drawn to this book by its eye catching and colouful cover and its intriguing synopsis. The synopsis stated "If you love reading Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers you won’t be able to put down this thrilling gangland crime thriller from bestselling author Emma Tallon." I am a huge fan of Martina's books so am interested to see if it will live up to this statement. I am also a huge fan of Emma and if this is half as good as 'Her Revenge', 'Her Rival', 'Her Betrayal' and 'Her Payback' it will be an amazing read. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).


This novel consists of a prologue, 58 chapters and an epilogue. The chapters are short to medium to long in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!


This book is based in London, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, UK 🇬🇧. The bonus for me of books that are partly or fully based in the UK is that I live in the UK and have sometimes visited places mentioned in the book which makes it easier to picture.


This book is written in third person perspective with the main protagonists being Scarlet Drew, Lily Drew, Ruby Drew, Cillian Drew and DC Jenny Ascough. The benefits of third person perspective are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything.


OMG EMMA!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!!! YET AGAIN, WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY EXPLOSIVE BOOK AND BOMBSHELL CLIFFHANGER ENDING!!! I HOPE YOU'VE WRITTEN YOUR NEXT BOOK BECAUSE I CANNOT WAIT!!!


This book is extremely well written with vivid descriptions and the perfect atmosphere for the STORYLINE. The descriptions really emerge the reader into the storyline making your heart race and the hair on your arms raise. The synopsis and cover work perfectly with the book cover.


The book is gripping and addictive from the very first page until the last. I was absolutely hooked throughout with the suspense and tension filled plot. I enjoyed delving back into the underworld and getting to know more about the Drew family worked within the family, the underworld and all the other gangs. The storyline was intricately woven with so many sub plots that kept me completely engaged throughout. The way Emma has written it really helps your imagination picture everything going on. It is filled with laughter, love, crime, loss, shocks, twists and one hell of an explosive ending!!! What an absolute cliffhanger to end on with not just one shocker but many massive bombshells/cliffhangers!!! I was absolutely on the edge of my seat, biting my nails with a pounding heart throughout this absolutely gripping and addictive book!!! I have absolutely loved each and every book in this series but I must say this has definitely got to be the best. It is the most heart racing and nail biting and OMG the emotions I was going through!! I screamed, shouted, cried, my nails are bitten down so there's nothing left and I have been on the edge of my seat constantly. The ending just completely left me mind blown and I am ABSOLUTELY dreading and yet excited for and unable to wait for the next book which I just know is going to be another absolute explosive bombshell! I must say that I was happy with what happened to someone but at the same time as much as I hated them it feels a bit strange knowing that they are no longer there. Do I think they deserved it? Yes as it really was karma and one or the other. Teasing you much? What are you waiting for grab your copy today. I'm also intrigued by what another person is up to and how it's all going to play out. I just ABSOLUTELY LOVE this family and this series and I cannot wait to get stuck in to the next book!! Chop, chop Emma I'm waiting!!!

DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU HAVE CLEARED YIUR SCHEDULES AS IT WILL SUCK YOU IN!!! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GANGLAND CRIME SERIES YOU CAN SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THIS IS 100% THE BEST SERIES TO START!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

Although this is the fifth book in the series I had would have had absolutely no problems reading it without the others. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader.

I absolutely loved meeting the Drew family again as well as the other characters.. I never thought I would ever get THAT into a gangland crime book but OMG Emma you have completely proven me wrong. The Drew's have become like family and friends to me except for a certain one who I 10000% blame for this and I don't think I've ever actually hated a fictional character as much as I do this one!!!! More to come in a moment. I have also learned Emma's previous books were based on the Tyler family who we also met in this series so I am looking forward to going back to read that series as well as any further books in the Drew family serious. Scarlet is definitely a force to be reckoned with as is Lily and who doesn't love a strong kick @ss female in the crime world!! I was absolutely fascinated by all the businesses that she managed to keep afloat. I also enjoyed reading about what Connor and Cillian got up to and having twins myself it's quite interesting to see how these twins worked. I loved both of their huge and hilarious yet serious when needed personalities and they slightly remind me of the Weasley twins from Harry Potter with their cheeky sides. The tension in this storyline is absolutely threw the roof and with so many sides closing in on the Drews and with a snake in the grass will they be able to survive this blow? It has been absolutely heart breaking watching this once close family being torn apart and seeing different sides to them with less humour than normal. I have had several mixed feelings about Ruby since the start of this series, I don't think I've ever had as many mixed feelings about any other character EVER!!! However I can 10000% say she is now my absolutely most hated fictional character ever and if you could hear the names I was calling her it would have absolutely shocked you!! I wasn't sure what to make of Isla but I won't say anything about her as I don't want to give too much away but I will say that I was extremely pleased by something that happened with her. I was absolutely sickened by the way Calvin treated her and even more disgusted when I discovered what he had done in the past too. However, if you want to know more you'll just have to pick up your copy today. Every single character was strong and had their own unique personalities and each definitely left an impression on me. Regardless of whether I LOVED them or hated them they all came together to make this book and also this series exactly what it is and it is perfect the way it is!!!

I am looking forward to reading more of Emma's books and it would be intriguing to see them turned into movies. Emma, congratulations on yet another explosive hit and here's to your next success 🍻!!! This is EXACTLY why you are one of my favourite authors, this is one of my favourite series and the Drew's are definitely my favourite fictional family EVER!!!

Overall a must read, non stop, emotionally and action packed, explosive page turning, gripping and addictive adventure from the underworld that is one not to be missed!!!

Genres covered in this novel include Thriller, Heist Crime, Crime Thriller, Organised Crime, Mystery, Vigilante Justice, Psychological Fiction, Gangland Crime, Noir Fiction and Crime Thriller amongst others.


I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as fans Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and anyone who enjoys reading an unputdownable and explosive page turner about crime from the dark side..


366 pages.


This book is just £2.99 to purchase on kindle, free on kindle unlimited and £8.99 in paperback (at time of review) via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!


Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it )

Those who follow the Drew Series by Emma Tallon will want to immediately pick up Her Fight, and will find that this fifth installment is absolutely unputdownable. Scarlet is bent on getting revenge on her cousin Ruby, who betrayed the entire Drew family and exposed Scarlet’s romance with a police detective who had to leave and is presently in hiding. While she is trying to find Ruby, she lets her guard down a bit and finds herself in trouble with an old rival.

Tallon has a real talent for weaving a suspenseful tale that keeps readers on the edge, and this book is no exception. The twists and turns make for building suspense, and readers will find they cannot put the book down. Tallon has developed her characters well, and those who have read the previous novels in the series will be familiar with them. While the Drews aren’t the biggest crime family in London, they are formidable just the same. In the previous novel, Connor and Cillian have just found out that Ray is their real father, so there is friction between them and Lily. There is also a mole working inside the family business; it seems that the Drews may just be overthrown and the family business will die.

All told, this is one of the best of the installments. It starts with suspense and the suspense lasts throughout. Although this can be read as a standalone novel, it is recommended that readers pick up the previous novels to feel the impact of the powerful characters with their history. This book is highly recommended.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

This is the fifth instalment in The Drew Family Series and I just can’t get enough. Emma Tallon is my replacement for Martina Cole. I love a good series where you really get to know the characters and they become so like real people to you. This is a book series that just keeps on giving. Every book is a new adventure. I couldn’t read it fast enough. I can’t get enough of all things underworld and ‘the life’. As for the characters I love The Drew Family and all the quirky characters they are involved with. I just hate now that I have to wait for the next one. Emma Tallon please don’t make the wait too long. LOVED IT 🥰…

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read #HerFight

This was my second book by the author and it won’t be my last either.

I enjoyed it a lot and the ending left me wanting so much more from her characters and world.
It’s suspenseful and the growth happens so smoothly, it’s a very character driven plot and I’m loving it so far.
I usually go for a more mystery/thriller investigation type of story and this one surprised me in the best way.

It’s a gangster family drama and while the main characters try to showcase one another, there are other dangerous characters between the family members.

There are so many secrets between them all and Scarlet and Lily were just amazing. The mens in the family are so interesting as well, they will fight for their family no matter what happens.

I must admit that this gave me a lot of Peaky Blinders feels and I read some of these interactions in a mancunian voice and that made it so much more interesting.

There’s dangerous situations and some drama between the police and on the run and hide scenes plus the discovery of the mole.

Addictive and thrilling, this is a must read story.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy through NetGalley and my place in the blog tour.

Scarlet Drew has spent years trying to deal with her difficult cousin Ruby. However, Ruby has truly crossed the line with her latest drama. In fact, things have reached the point of no return for Scarlet. Ruby will pay. Of that Scarlet has no doubt. In any game of tug of war there is only one winner and this latest installment in this stellar series will indeed reveal who that winner will be.

Ruby thinks that she has more cards to play, and she has her own plans. However, as she is responsible for revealing Scarlet‘s relationship with her detective boyfriend, which caused that relationship to come to a sad ending, she knows that she must get the upper hand once and for all.

Meanwhile, the crime family has other drama that is in fact creating a dangerous situation for all of them. Scarlet’s aunt Lily is dealing with the fact that her adult sons are not speaking with her based on a long held secret that they have learned. As if all of this was not enough, there might be somebody on the inside that could break this family apart once and for all. So, from all angles, this crime family appears to be breaking apart. Can Lily and Scarlet get past their personal situations and team together to strengthen their family enough to wage the wars facing them?

This book is aptly titled because it just might be a fight to the finish on more than one level. This Drew Family series is fabulous. I love how Emma Tallon has made this family real. One way is their Sunday dinners, much like the Regan family on the Blue Bloods television series. Although the values and principles may differ in these two families, the bonds that tie them together are indelible.

While this book could work as a standalone, the dynamic that exists in this family is one that strongly develops over the course of the entire series. So my recommendation is that the series be read in order. I am so eager for the next book in the series. In fact, the moment these books become available, I have to stop everything and read them from cover to cover which is exactly what I did with Her Fight. It came to no surprise that this book was as addictive and compelling as every book in the series has been thus far.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

She's Back!!! The queen of gangland crime is back - Emma Tallon she must be one of the best writers out there

This latest book was Brilliant! Her Fight is the fifth book in the brilliant Drew family series and it starts with a bang!

This carries on from her last book and Scarlet Drew is trying to find her difficult cousin Ruby. Who has always been jealous of Scarlet and when Ruby exposed Scarlet's illicit affair with a Met Detective. Scarlet fears she will never see her boyfriend again. She loved him so much and now he is in hiding from everyone, no one can find him......
All Scarlet wants is for Ruby to pay!!!! However, she has to tread very careful,.......one wrong step, she could loose everything! and her family means so much to her and she can not up set her Aunt Lily Drew and her sons Cillian and Connor and her mum.

This book is so good well this series has been first class and 5 star's I have been gripped from the beginning till the end........

I Highly recommended for fans of this genre! and all books by Emma Tallon she never disappoints. All her books have been excellent!

Her Fight is the fifth book in Emma Tallon’s Drew Family series and my first read for the author. Once again, I picked up a book which falls in the latter part of a series and, of course, the blurb influenced my decision. Now while Her Fight can work as a stand-alone, one would achieve a greater benefit by reading the series in sequence. I enjoyed my visit to the world Tallon created and look forward to visiting again.

I had a great time with Her Fight. Despite coming late into the series, I had no trouble following the story as Tallon provided sufficient background information. This made it easy to slip into the world she created and appreciate the characters. From the first page, I knew it would be a thrilling read, and it did not disappoint. 

The Drew family is not your typical family. Headed by matriarch Lily Drew, they have ties to the criminal underworld. Feared by other crime syndicates, they were a force to be reckoned with. Gritty, dark, shocking, addictive and suspenseful Her Fight takes the reader on an unforgettable journey. The drama and nail biting suspense will have you flipping the pages. Rivalry within the family circle, treachery and revenge drove the story.

As you may guess, the characters featured here are not ones you would want in your inner circle. However, one cannot help but admire their strength, tenacity, and loyalty to each other. Lily Drew will do any lengths to protect her children and woe be to anyone who dares get in her way. Despite the many challenges faced ranging from personal to business, she displays fortitude. Her family members were an interesting lot. They added depth to the story with their varying personalities, ambitions, and desires.

As stated earlier, it can be read as a stand-alone. However, the plot develops throughout the course of the series. Therefore, reading the series in order would prove more beneficial. After my experience with Her Fight, I am eager to go back t to the beginning to see how it all started. Also, the ending hinted at bigger things brewing in the wings.

Overall, Her Fight delivered an entertaining read, which fans of stories with a focus on the criminal underworld would enjoy.

When is the NEXT BOOK?!
This series - I am so invested!
Ruby chose her path - classic Ruby, so much anger. And only Scarlet is at fault. Her plan moves onto the next steps as Scarlet ruthlessly searches.
The Drews are at an impasse - the twins no longer speaking to Lily, refuse to talk and set the revelation aside. Scarlet wants revenge. Lily just wants to move past it all.
This family is fascinating. I am obsessed!

📚📖 BOOK REVIEW 📖📚

📖 Book - Her Fight
✍️ Author - Emma Tallon
📕 Publisher - Bookouture
🗓 Publication Date - 13th Dec 2022

This is book 5 and picks up from the previous book.

Scarlett Drew is trying to find her cousin Ruby. Ruby has betrayed Scarlett in the worse wand cannot be forgiven. Bit Scarlett need to be careful and not upset her aunt / cousins!

I think it’s amazing that Emma Tallon can write book 5 in a series and it still be as gripping/fantastic as book 1 was. Her books never disappoint !!
