Rogue (The Talisman Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rogue follows the story of Baz, a warrior who has been forced to turn rogue. The choice was not one that he wanted to make but it was either pledge himself to the evil Morrigan or go into hiding. Baz made the best choice he could under the circumstances and has had to live with that decision for the last few years. He does not like working for the war goddess Morrigan but completes all the missions she gives him while his real goal is to start a class of Celtic fighters.

Delaney is a warrior-talisman hybrid who acts as protector to save her warrior community. Her whole life has been spent trying to live down the choice her uncle made to go rogue. When a cryptic message leads her to an abandoned home she comes face-to-face with a lone rogue. Rather than kill her he takes her to his lair where their attraction and emotions threaten to ruin both of their missions.

Delaney knows that this lone rogue is a danger to her community and as their protector it is up to her to neutralize the threat. So why is she finding it so difficult to do? Baz discovers that Delaney is his mate, his talisman, and struggles to come to terms with that. Will they realize their love for one another or does fate have other plans for them? Will they be able to look past who they are to outside forces and get to know who they really are?

This book was action packed and full of intense situations for Baz and Delaney. Although unlikely mates they have an undeniable chemistry between them which makes the storyline interesting. Baz might be a rogue might it was not his choice. After having a rough life, he did what he had to do. Delaney is trained as a warrior and protects those around her. Both Baz and Delaney have been brought up in situations where they had to learn to be strong and fight to survive. A great paranormal romance full of action, magic, suspense, danger, and the battle of good versus evil.
