Renegade

By Lisa Phillips and Susan May Warren

Book Overview

★ He was supposed to be dead. She was supposed to move on. Some loves won't stay buried. ★

The last person Sierra Blackwood expects to see is the man whose memorial service she attended three years ago.

For ten years, she's raised their son alone, told him his father died a hero, and built a life from the ashes of broken promises. Now Rowan "Hammer" Wallace is back-no explanation, no apology, just those devastating blue eyes and a presence that fills every empty space she's tried to heal.

He doesn't know about the boy. And she doesn't know if she can survive losing him again.

But there's no time for second chances when a killer has you in their crosshairs.

Someone wants Sierra's ranch-and they're willing to burn down everything she loves to get it. Poisoned livestock. Mysterious fires. And when armed men kidnap Sierra and her ten-year-old son, Rowan must confront the violent stepfather who drove him away to save the family he never knew existed.

In the mountains of Colorado, the past never stays buried. And some men never stop fighting for what's theirs.

Suspense, action, back from the dead hero

This quote from the story sums it up pretty well, "But the best part about scars is that they remind you that you survived something difficult. They're proof that you're stronger than whatever tried to hurt you." Sierra Blackwood thought she lost the love of her life when Rowan "Hammer" Wallace was pronounced dead by the military but now he's back in Renegade and willing to fight for her. Someone is trying to run her off of her property and he's not going to allow that. There is plenty of action, suspense, some romance, a secret, a strong faith element, humor and strong friendships in this story. Some of the characters are in another series about hotshot firefighters so it was fun to get more of their stories.

Delightful romantic suspense

“We’re all affected by our emotions, but living by our emotions and letting love lead are two different things.” Susan May Warren never fails to bring her readers delightful and captivating romantic suspense. I loved this inaugural book for Heroes of Renegade series. I missed the entire series of Chasing Fire:Alaska so didn’t have the insider knowledge into Rowan, Saxon and Kane’s history and friendship but still enjoyed this story about Rowan and Sierra. Rowan’s painful childhood and betrayal in the military toughened him but his deep-down loyalty, steadfastness, protectiveness, and tenderness surfaced pretty quickly when he was around Sierra. Sierra was lovable even when she resisted asking for help and had a hard time recognizing her true feelings. Huck was super cute and stole the show several times throughout the story. The intrigue and suspense components of the plot were layered, complex, and exciting. Rowan’s friend Saxon had much faith-based wisdom, which helped guide and comfort Rowan. I’m hoping Saxon gets his own story in this series. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Sunrise Publishing and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
