I can't wait to read more of the Elite Ops. Renegade has never loved anyone but his deceased wife and daughter. They were killed and he froze his heart from ever loving anyone again, until he met Mikayla. Finding the person who is framing Maddix and trying to kill Mikayla is a tough job but he gets it done. Thank you for a great read. Okay, this will be a long one because I can't leave a two star review without explaining. I don't often bother posting negative reviews and this isn't entirely negative. The reason I'm posting is I think that once one receives bestseller status, one has to really consider what one is writing. I know several unpublished authors who could write circles around what is written in this novel. Now, I've read this author before and enjoyed the books. This is why I picked this one up. It sounded like I might like it. However, Renegade was just...not good. I'll explain. Despite what the back cover blurb says, there were three protagonists in this story not two; Nik, Makayla and Mikayla's clit. Sorry for those who are offended easily, but them's the facts, folks. Clit doesn't bother me. I mean all women (I'm assuming) have one and it serves a great function. I'm quite happy that they exist. Wouldn't trade clits for anything. Fantastic things, those clits. But, when writing fiction, one must strive for variety in describing things. Repetition creates and echo and echo is bad. Especially when that echo is such a standout word like clit. I bet you see the word clit as often as you see the name Mikayla or Nik or the. Are you tired of me writing clit every sentence? Does it annoy you that I'm obsessed with how often clit is mentioned? Well, this is how each love scene reads. Except the ones where each character masturbates in the shower. Clit only shows in one of those scenes. I won't go there. It's erotica and perhaps the masturbation scenes would float another reader's boat, but they left me scratching my head. They just seemed unnecessary in this case. Added nothing to the story. A secondary character was her virginity/innocence which the author made sure to mention constantly. This could have been mentioned perhaps once or twice in the beginning. It's something the reader would have remembered. I mean how many women read the ripe old age of twenty-something with that still intact? Not many. So that's something a reader notices. Reminding the reader at every opportunity gets tiresome. Where's the positive that I promised? Well, I like this author's 'voice' and that was the only thing that kept me reading in the end. She's got a very distinct voice and doesn't purple things up as is the temptation in some erotic romances. So I appreciate that and I know it's tough to create romance without the flowery words. It takes skill which the author obviously has but chose not to share with us in Renegade. I guess that's why I was so disappointed. It's obvious she's a skilled writer, but this novel didn't show any effort. The ending made me long to punch something. Evil twin out of nowhere? WTF? Come on. Talk about a lazy ending. No real explanation, just a quick couple of pages about the grandfather and separating them at birth for some strange reason. No, the motivation for separating them is not revealed. So there's my negative review that I don't like posting, but you know, sometimes it's just good to get it out. I would read this author again, only because her previous novels that I've read have me hopeful this was just a one-off. An attempt to put something out there that flopped. In my optimism, I'm ordering another book this week. If that goes poorly, then no, I would not buy another book by Lora Leigh. It was ok. Far from being the best in the series, but it had its moments. I thought Nik was an incredible jerk who just wanted the pretty, virginal woman and said woman was a little too much on the näive side. With the story developing, their characters developed as well and it was a good think they did. By the end I actually started liking them more and really enjoyed the epilogue. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I wanted to know more about the mystery and whom she witnessed killing Eddie. The losing of her virginity and subsequent "hot steamy" love making bored me. Maybe because every other thought running through his head was how fragile and vulnerable she is. His little fairy with innocent amethyst eyes. We get it already and it's no longer romantic.
Okay so Prince Charming (Nik Steele) has issues. He lost a wife and child to his job and never being there for them. Heart broken over losing the child. Vowed never to let anyone in. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH BLAH
I was bored half way through this book but continued on only because I wanted to know how killed Eddie and how were they going to explain it. It was a let down. [Long lost thought dead twin brother teams up with disgruntled son]
I had picked this book up not knowing it's part of a series and having finally finishing it...I'm not planning on reading what I've missed. This author style is just not to my liking. Read and learn, time to move on. ( )
