ABOUT THE BOOK:
The murder in Joel Hayward’s eyes wasn’t merely a reflection of the rage within. It was a promise to the men who had kidnapped his daughter. The one person—this amazing slip of a girl—who showed Joel every single day that there was good left in the world.
He was running on fumes. He was desperate. His closest companion was…Elliott. His ex-wife’s older brother. Okay, once upon a time, the man had been a lot more than that, but somehow they’d become mortal enemies instead. Frankly, Joel didn’t give a flying f— He didn’t care if Elliott made it back alive. Or so he kept telling himself, as the pain intensified with each day he couldn’t hold his little girl in his arms.
As they got closer and closer to their target, one lead at a time, the men prepared themselves to go to war.

Excerpt
I gestured for everyone to line up, figuring it was best I went last.
The roar from above was clearly loud for all the others who hadn’t gone temporarily deaf from gunfire, and I kinda wished I heard it too. Helicopters were my second home. But at least I felt the winds whipping, and I saw the grass flattening.
One by one, I made sure everyone was secured to the suspension line. Shay, Reese, River, Coach, Danny…Elliott.
Elliott showed me the screen of his phone.
I can say anything to you right now, and you won’t hear it.
I frowned at him. What the fuck?
He said something, and he tightened the strap to my helmet. What was he saying? In the corner of my eye, I caught Danny signaling to the pilots, and Shay was the first to get his feet off the ground. I shifted my gaze back to Elliott and secured myself to the line too, and I repositioned my rifle to my front instead, wanting easy access. For fuck’s sake, could he stop talking? I didn’t hear a fucking word!
He actually grinned for a second, then shook his head and—I went rigid when he cupped my face in his hands and leaned closer. The intensity in his eyes—in those familiar silvery-blue eyes… Don’t fucking do anything. You’ll break me again. He couldn’t know how badly I wanted—
He was done. He finished talking and backed off, and I immediately missed his muddy fingers on my muddy fucking face.
I clenched my jaw. This was what he did to me. Even now, years later.
Goddamn bastard.
I hated him with every fiber of my being.
A beat later, he was airborne, and I was next. I grabbed on to the rope and unfastened my gun from its holster on my hip, and I fixed my stare on our surroundings. A decent shot could have a field day with us right now, pick us off one by one on the line.
Right before my feet left the ground, I lowered my monocular and switched to thermal vision.
What the hell had Elliott said to me? He’d never had any issues giving me shit to my face before. Although, the silent treatment had been his favorite up until this mission—not counting the few times we’d been forced into the same room for Blake’s birthday party. He saved his digs for when she couldn’t hear.
I was so sick of our war.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The team desperately needed a win. They got that rescuing Shay.
Elliott and Joel, desperately searching for their beloved niece and daughter. Their history convoluted. The Colombian Op finally giving them a second chance and led to discovering they had been betrayed in the worst possible way.
River, Reece, and Shay. While an intricate part of the team, Shay’s rescue was their main focus. Their joy at being reunited boundless.
Crew and Adrien. Crew needing to prove to everyone, (himself included) that he wasn’t a screw-up. Adrien sees him for who he is, definitely what Crew needs most.
Lots of action, suspense, romance, and above all love made this book (and series) special and unforgettable. A lot of the peripheral characters have their own stories in this universe. I don’t feel that those stories are absolutely necessary to get the full enjoyment of this series of books…but all the characters are to great to pass up reading about them. The author writes gut wrenching, sometimes very dark stories that tug at the heart.
These Renegades have definitely given readers an E-Ticket roller-coaster ride. Great series.

I’m often awkwardly silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there’s so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex.
There’s a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly.
Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve.
I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.
Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.
I’m a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, cooking, baking, and geeking. There’s time for hockey and family, too. But mostly, I just love to write.
