My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up by her. She pulls me into her stories with ease and keeps me engaged. This book is no different. This is a well developed story that has characters that are both creative and of course hot. I was pulled into the story from the beginning by the characters. They pop off the page as the story comes to life. This is Gunner and Lacey’s story. Fate is giving them a second chance but will they take it. Will one night change everything? This is a story of healing, love and hope. They are so great together and they brought so much to the story. I really enjoyed them. This is a book I do not regret picking up and neither will you. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Taking Flight (Code of Honor Book 2) by Brooke May – Review by Karyn Taylor

Taking FlightTaking Flight by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taking Flight is the 2nd book in the Code of Honor series by Brooke May. Although part of a series, each book can be read as a standalone. I had previously read the first book in this series and a couple of other books by the author so I had expectations of enjoying this book and I’m glad to say that I enjoyed it very much.
Jody Meadows is the twin sister of country sensation Jilly Meadows and has lived I her shadows all of her life, always coming second to her sister. Now she’s had enough of being Jilly’s doormat and is looking for a way out. That way out comes in the form of airman Holt Preston who happens to be stationed in Germany when Jilly is on tour there.
I really loved this story. I adored Jody and wanted to slap her twin sister Jilly on so many occasions. I honestly think that Jody must have the patience of a saint to put up with her theatrics. I also adored Holt. He’s sweet and charming and also rather hot! I love how he wanted the best for Jody and fought for her to better herself.
I was hooked on this story from the very first page and was gripped to the story throughout, right up to the very end. I definitely recommend Taking Flight.

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White – Review by Robin Rankin

Renegade (The Mercenaries #1)Renegade by Raven White
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Renegade by Raven White is the first book in The Mercenaries Series.

When I was a young hormonal teenager I wished I had an older brother because then he would have friends and at least one of them was bound to be hot and Eliza was lucky enough to have that older brother with the hot friend who also is former military and extremely alpha.

Renegade knows what he has to do and that’s protect Eliza but the pull they have towards one another cannot be denied.

This story has a little bit of everything and I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Renegade (The Mercenaries #1)Renegade by Raven White
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this story, Eliza wins a singing contest/reality show to become the lead singer of a band. One night, after a show, she is attacked and left for dead. Her brother is a police officer and former military and he brings in a member of his former team to act as her body guard once she comes out of her coma. Renegade has to take the assignment. When a brother calls, you answer. He and Eliza have an instant attraction that could cause problems on the case. But he takes his job very seriously and vows to keep her safe while her brother works on finding her attacker.

This story was an interesting read, but for me, I wanted more details. There were things that were really skipped over and left up to you to make assumptions on how things occurred, but I think it was just because it was such a short story. It’s a good beginning to the series and I think it will only get better as the series goes on. The characters had great potential and intriguing personalities. I look forward to learning more about them. You’ve got to love a group of hot alpha military men! And Eliza is a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants and is willing to fight for it.

This is the first book that I’ve read from Raven White and I wasn’t disappointed. Between the action and romance I couldn’t put the book down. The story was so imaginative and I loved the characters. I loved how this renegade mercenary which once was this bada$$ military man now is a body guard fro his best friend’s little sister (I’m a total sucker for these stories).

5-Stars

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White was an excellent action packed romance. Sam aka Renegade is a former military member now mercenary who is called to return a favor to his friend Sparrow. Sparrow’s sister Eliza has been attacked recently and wakes in the hospital confused. She is not sure who attacked her an why. Renegade is to be her protector. Sparks fly when the two meet and the danger intensifies. The two must work together to stop her attacker and maintain her safety.

I loved this short story. I was able to read it in one sitting. I am excited to see what comes next in this series. I loved all the characters and how well they were developed for such a short read. Eliza and Renegade were amazing. I loved following them and also the wit and humor they shared in their conversations. The storyline was easy to follow and organized. I loved that several supporting characters also had their own sections which played an important role in the development of the story. It had an excellent plot and climax as well. I was definitely hooked immediately with this book. I highly recommend it!

I read this book pretty quickly and a lot happens that just needs to be read. But just know, it ticks all the boxes i look for in a romance book and I couldn’t read it fast enough.

Renegade by Raven White is the first book in the Mercenaries series. This is a well written book that will sweep you along with the story.
The main characters in this story had such a great chemistry. It was brilliant to read about them together and I liked their interactions immediately. The author did a great job with the story too. It had the right amount of action and romance to make it exciting.
It was a nice easy story to read. The kind of book that you can lose yourself in for few hours. For me this is the perfect lazy afternoon read, hot alpha male, feisty female to keep him on his toes. I am looking forward to reading more from this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 ½ Stars

Renegade is the first book in The Mercenaries series by Raven White. This is the first book of Ms. White’s that I have read, so I was curious as to what I might find between the covers. This is a romantic suspense- with danger, mystery, opposites attract, Alpha males, and a sassy leading lady. This is a tried and true recipe, which Ms. White has put her own spin on. It is fairly predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I really feel that the story could use a little more development and depth- which would make it an even better read. There were intriguing and suspenseful moments, and the chemistry between Eliza and Renegade was off the charts. So, if you like your stories on the spicy side- this definitely fits that bill.
The story definitely got better as the story evolved- but there were parts where the flow was disrupted, and the story lagged from time to time. I am intrigued by where this series is headed, so will be keeping my eye out for upcoming releases: Hacker (Book 2) and Sensei (Book 3) are listed as releasing soon.
Alpha Male sexiness meets sassy leading lady- and the sparks fly!

Thank you, Raven White!

With a new author comes a new series! Renegade is Book #1 in The Mercenaries series and what a brilliant introduction to this series! I loved this book from the start, I became emotionally invested in the characters in this book, and couldn’t wait to see what journey was taken on.

Renegade and Eliza were amazing main characters I loved following their story, they had an instant connection and having their relationship develop and chemistry off the charts it had you hoping that they could have a HEA. I loved the alpha male, sexy, protective Renegade, Eliza definitely is his perfect match, while she doesn’t mind putting him in his place she also knows when to accept his protectiveness, they make a very real, relatable and loveable pair.

This book has action, romance, passion, danger and suspense, it has you totally hooked and captivated from the start and leaves you wanting more! I can’t wait to read Hacker’s story next and where this author takes along on his journey and anything else this author has to offer!

Renegade
The Mercenaries Series
Book 1
By Raven White
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a Suspenseful romance. Packed with hot steamy romance as well as a suspenseful rollercoaster. Be warned it is not over until you read the last page. This book is not for those under 18, due to adult content. There will be no spoilers in this review.

Sam, aka, (Renegade), is a former military man that has joined a mercenary team. All is well, until he gets a call from a friend (Sparrow) who is a cop. We all know what that leads too. Somebody, aka (Eliza), has been assaulted and left for dead. Sparrow,(her brother) needs his help, in keeping Eliza safe and protected. Sparrow has been taken off the case. But needs Renegades help. Problems could arise when they are in hiding. Will they build a romance or fight every step of the way? Will they catch the stalker?

Raven White has written this first book in The Mercenaries Series. This is the first book and it takes off on page 1. It is well written and filled with suspense. Raven White is new to me, but I can already say, I’m going to enjoy this series. You can’t help but fall in love with her characters. Her blending suspense with romance was a real rollercoaster of a ride. This alone will keep you reading. I for one am looking forward to her next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never read anything by the talented Raven White prior to seeing Renegade. However, when I saw this cover and read the blurb and a few teasers I knew I had to find out what story this book held. I am glad that I picked it up and will be checking out the rest of the series now as they come. I had a few things that were somewhat confusing while I read this book, but I found that the writing became more structured and easy to follow as the book wore on. This made me struggle with my rating and gave it a good solid four stars. I just would like to see a cleaner flow in the next book so I will keep an eye out for that one.

The storyline is fairly simple revolving around a friends to lovers/ love at first sight concept. It was predictable as far as romance novels go but I don’t think that was the true beauty in this one anyway. The scenes, world-building and the sexy swagger really made this book all it is. I found myself fanning my face several times as I read about the sexcapades our two main characters embark on. Whew! So expect that romance, heat, and kink, to be hot and spicy. Make sure that is your cup of tea before reading as well. I loved this factor, so for me it was not a problem. Like I said this is book one in the Mercenaries Series so there will be more and I’ll be right there for it ready to see what will happen next!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a first time author for me. I was intrigued by this series. Alpha men and they are protectors….WHERE DO I SIGN UP? Double the fun! This is kind of an insta-love along with a friend little sister genre. I thought This really got better the further along it went. One of my problems were her injuries and the sex that came after the hospital release. It seemed unlikely that they would get together with her terrible injuries…OR that he would care for her welfare and wait Until she had recovered a bit before diving in. Their activities in the bedroom seem pretty rigorous and I kept saying Ow…Ow…Ow for her. I also would have thought the police would have been interviewing her after the first attempt as well but nothing.

The characters were sexy, strong and kept the tummy flutters were a fluttering. I liked Eliza’s attitude. Growing up with a hard headed brother gave her a heads up dealing with Sam. There is a large crew of mercenaries. They all have different and fun personalities. I enjoyed the bond they have with each other but I got tired of their “Copy That” response.

Overall this is a suspenseful sexy story. It has it’s good and not so good parts. With a bit more time and length to fully flesh out situations this would be superb. But as right now it’s a fun read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eliza is a woman who knows what she wants. Right now, what she wants is to be able to fulfill her life’s dream of being a successful musician. She’s worked hard for the chance she’s been given to be in a band that is making a name for themselves and she’s beyond excited that she’s headed out on tour for the first time. What she doesn’t want is to wake up one day at the hospital to find out she’s survived a brutal attack where she was left for dead. What she really wants then is to heal and move on. But when Renegade becomes part of her protection detail, she learns quickly that getting what she wants isn’t going to be that easy.

Renegade is a man who knows what he wants as well. He’s served his country in many ways, and he wants to continue his career protecting those who need it most. When he’s called in on a favor, he never expects what he gets. His protection detail this time is a feisty woman who challenges his every move and sometimes his sanity. But when she lets go, he finds that maybe what he wants can change.

This was such a fun, steamy, entertaining quick novella! I loved the fact that they are such opposites. Renegade is used to being more stealthy and in the shadows, whereas Eliza is flashier and likes the stage lights. They’re both extremely hard-headed with huge hearts to match. Their love story was well written and sweet. I’m really intrigued by the supporting characters too and am interested in seeing where this goes next!

5 Stars

I struggled between 4 & 5 stars on this book…This is my first read by this author and I completely enjoyed it. I went with 5 stars because I was totally hooked on the story and how it was told and I did not want to put it down until I finished.

It was definitely predictable and I figured it out early on so there was really no twist for me as the clues were quite obvious. The only thing that kept nagging at me was the blizzard, her outside covered in snow and finding the truck key in her hand, this was never addressed, and kind of threw me off, but what had me most invested was the interaction between all the characters and the build up of what is ahead in the books to follow. I love this group of people and can’t wait to get each of their stories.

It was a quick and super simple read and there were plenty of scenes that had me blushing and I do recommend reading it because there is a ton of potential for an awesome series ahead.

Really enjoyed it!

The story Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White is a wonderful book to read. I loved the storyline and the characters. It is a book that has both suspense and romance. I really loved the character of Eliza McKay. She is strong, independent, intelligent, and a wonderful singer. She was been attacked and her brother, Sparrow, has called on the services of Sam “Renegade” McGill to keep her safe. Renegade is a man that takes his job seriously and has a comradery with those he works with. He also finds himself very attracted to Eliza. He, however, knows that she is off-limits. Eliza also feels the attraction to Renegade. Will they act on their attraction for each other? Will the one that attacked Eliza be caught? What does the future hold for Eliza and Renegade? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has romantic moments that make the temperature in the room rise. The story also had me wondering what was going to happen next and if the attacker was going to be caught. I also enjoyed reading about Sparrow. He is protective of Eliza and will do anything to keep her safe. This is the first book in a series, and I can’t wait to read the next story. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t want to put down until you have finished the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

Romance on the Rig by Kara Liane is a story in Risking Everything: A Steamy Anthology of First Responders. Once I started reading this story in the anthology, I couldn’t stop.

Murf has not had luck in the love department but he thinks he’s met his one. Unfortunately, there is a misunderstanding between Murf and Lana that prevents them from being together. Will Murf be able to make it right so they can be together?

This author is new to me but It was such a good story to read, I may have to read more! There are many other great stories in this book i highly recommended giving it a try!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This collection of stories about romance with first responders starts off with an EMT that is quick to jump to conclusions in “Romance on the Rig” by Kara Liane. Murf falls for Lana at first sighting, but he makes some assumptions based on observations. Rather than asking questions to verify anything, he continues acting on false assumptions and hating his own attraction to someone that he considers to be “out of bounds” for him. When they do get together, they’re fun and interesting in how they date. The author does a wonderful job of giving a lot of information that makes the characters real without bogging down the story. Murf continues to assume the worst and almost loses the girl until he learns to truly open up. This is a great story and touches some real issues of how hard it is to communicate sometimes.

“IN UNITY, THERE IS STRENGTH”

RISKING EVERYTHING is an anthology of stories featuring first responders. Some are super sexy and some are super sweet. There are stories filled with angst, romance and friendship.

Each story can be read as a stand-alone, and some have threads that come from a series that I will be adding to my “want to read” list.

Reconstructed Heart by K.L. Montgomery was one of my favorites. Often times in life, things happen that have a domino effect and we don’t know why until we can look back. That is what this story is about and it was heartbreaking and fantastic all at the same time.

Risking Everything was an amazing steamy and romantic collection of stories. The stories were well written and entertaining with excellently developed characters. I had a hard time picking which one was my favorite. I did find it easier to relate to female lead character Penelope Justice in “Always Kind Of Love” by author Amanda Seigrest. This story was a second chance Romance featuring a hunky Fireman name Ethan. It was a fun read. I really enjoyed all of the stories present in this collection and I highly recommend it. It is definitely something a varied group of romance readers would enjoy.

Risking Everything: A Steamy Anthology of First Responders by Kara Liane, K.L. Montgomery, Harlow Layne, Amanda Siegrist, A.K. MacBride, Jody Kaye, Syd Ryan, Alyne Hart, Kelsey Cheyenne, Larissa Gail – Review by Rosanna Ingram

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This anthology features ten stories by ten authors who bring us stories revolving around the love lives of first responders. Each story features a couple that deals with the drama of everyday life on top of the requirements of their jobs. Each story was well written, and I found myself falling in love with the characters throughout the book. Two of my favorite stories were Reconstructed Heart by K.L. Montgomery and Romance on the Rig by Kaira Lane.

Reconstructed Heart tells the story of Trey Prince, a member of the Collision Reconstruction Unit, called to scene of an accident where he finds himself personally invested in figuring out what happens. Jenna Labato is an officer that responds to the initial scene and tries to help Trey heal as he deals with the aftermath of the accident. Jenna is a strong character that balances Trey as he is falling apart. This story shows the human side of officers that deal with horrific situations on a daily basis. I found myself fully invested in their story and rooting for them.

Romance on the Rig focuses on Lana Royce and Sean “Murf” Murphy. Lana lives with her sister and helps take care of her niece and nephew. Murf is an EMT that has been burned in the past when it comes to his love life. From the beginning, there are misconceived notions and misunderstandings between Lana and Murf that may derail this relationship before it ever starts. Lana is so giving to those around here and Murf wants to be the guy to give her everything she needs, if he could just get out of his own way.

I enjoyed reading each of the stories in this anthology and will be looking forward to reading future books from each of the authors.
