Scarlet Drew is sailing dangerously close to the wind with her new police detective boyfriend, John. Not everyone agrees with their illicit relationship, but so far they’ve managed to keep it a secret from anyone outside the family. If only her nemesis, cousin Ruby, wasn’t still hanging around, life would be perfect.

Lily Drew is keeping a watchful eye on the building tension between Ruby and Scarlet – the last thing she needs is a war breaking out inside the family. But when people start going missing from a local boxing ring with close connections to the Drews, it puts the family back on the police’s radar and her worst nightmare is realised. With the police now watching their every move, it’s only a matter of time before the situation takes a dark turn.

As Lily tries to regain control, another person disappears from the boxing ring, and this time it’s a Drew. Ruby finally has a chance to prove her loyalty to the family, but she’ll have to get over her rivalry with Scarlet first. Will the bitterness between the two cousins get in the way of saving one of their own? And just how long can Scarlet keep her relationship a secret before their entire world comes crashing down around them?

                                                                MY REVIEW:

Her Payback: An utterly nail-biting and gritty crime thriller by Emma Tallon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book of The Drew Family. Just as good as the other 3.
The Drews are a crime family and consists of Lily who is the mother of Ruby, Connor, and Cillian and her niece Scarlet.
Ruby has always been the black sheep of the family and into a lot of trouble and drugs. She has been clean for awhile and wants to show the family that she should be a part of the business. That Scarlet should be out and she will do whatever she can to make that happen.
Scarlet's boyfriend, John, is a policeman who fell for Scarlet but they have to keep it a secret except for family.
Lily has noticed the tension between Ruby and Scarlet and is keeping an eye on it and hoping they can work things out.
Then people start missing from the local boxing ring, which has a tie to the Drews. This time a Drew goes missing. Will he be found?
Will Ruby get her revenge she thinks she should get?
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the book to review.
