This book is about Baz Cormac, a rogue who wasn’t wanting to be a rogue but was rather forced into by Goddess Morrigan. I absolutely love this series. It’s full of action and romance which I truly didn’t think I would like (the romance of it). There are multiple POVs throughout the series and each book has at least two main characters. Baz and Delaney are the two main characters in this book, I really feel connected to the two of them as they tell their story. Delaney is a warrior-talisman hybrid who is looking for her warrior sort of. Is Baz and Delaney meant to be, you need to read this book to find out?

This is the 6th book of the Talisman series. Each book can be read as a stand alone but it is more understandable if you at least read the first book in the series. Each book is about a different warrior and talisman, making it easy to follow along. The author does a wonderful job creating these Celtic characters. Each with their own story and personality. What I like is how the author is able to tell a different love story within the same universe. It’s not all love at first sight. Sometimes they have to work for what is theirs which makes the story much more believable. I love this series and will be reading more.
The Morrigan put a curse on all the warriors. Find your talisman by your 28th birthday or you belong to her. In the first book, the warriors break the curse extending the time given to find your talisman. Baz Cormac thinks the curse being lifted is a myth. His 28th birthday came and he had a choice; death, go into hiding for the rest of his life or join Morgan’s army and become a rogue. Baz chose to fight for Morgan.
Years go by and Baz has given up finding his talisman completely. Until he meets a feisty woman who isn’t afraid to go head to toe with him.
Delaney has accepted her fate as a warrior spinster. Her 28th birthday came and went without finding her warrior. She starts dating a warrior who lost his talisman. When her boyfriend gets taken by Morgan, Delaney goes to his place to investigate when she is surprised by a rogue on the property. Years prior, her uncle became a rogue, dishonouring his family so they quickly disowned him. Since then, Delaney hates all rogues.
When the pair find out they are fated mates, they are shocked. Baz realized that Morgan has been lying to him for years, He wants to devise a plan to take her down and rejoin the warrior community with Delaney’s help. She can’t get past the fact that he is a rogue, let alone trust him.
They have a long road ahead of them. Will they be strong enough to make it?

Baz Cormac is a rogue warrior, but this is not by choice, it is because he turned 28 before he found his talisman and had to pledge his loyalty to the Goddess, the Morrigan, so for the last three years, he has had freedom from a warriors restrictions, but also the necessity of taking the lives of warriors within that community, who happened to cross swords with him on the battlefield which the Morrigan orchestrates, he has also been gathering, training and leading a group of other rogues at the same time, whom he is planning to disrupt the Goddesses plans.
Delaney Ferrell is a young woman who has given up on finding her warrior and instead thrown herself into warrior training and her business instead, she is strong, fast and relentless with her training and everything else she puts her mind to, so when she receives a mysterious note which concurs with some rumours of rogues in the area she lives in, she decides to go and check it out as she already knows the area and will be able to tell if something is off there.
When Baz senses that there is a warrior nearby, he prepares himself for a confrontation, however, when he discovers that it is a female whom he has sensed, he is understandable reticent, but Delaney has no such weaknesses when it comes to a scrap with a rogue, this is what she has trained for and she knows that she has to put him down, so the fight for dominance between the two begins, but Baz is soon to discover that this woman is more than just easy on the eyes, she is a fiercely determined fighter.
As he makes the split second decision to kidnap instead of kill Delaney, he takes her to his lair and makes sure she cannot leave until he can figure out why he is so damn attracted to her, so in a desperate and instinctive act, he tries his sign on her and much to his astonishment it works and this is where he realises that Delaney is his fated mate and this throws his plans into complete disarray. When Delaney feels the reaction of her body to Baz and he explains why, she cannot accept the fact that she is the talisman of a rogue, especially since her Uncle decided to be one and brought shame upon her family, but will she be able to accept her fate and give love a chance, or will the Goddesses tear them apart before anything can truly begin? This is a fantasy adventure which is a balancing act, on a tightrope between good and evil, where one life altering decision has to be made before time and a Goddesses patience run out in this fated mates romance where secrets, lies, truths and revelations are all that stands between the darkness and the light and the answer to the question of which is the stronger side?

Baz used to be a warrior but when he turned 28 without finding his talisman, he chose to become a rogue. He couldn’t bear the thought of living in hiding trying to stay alive, so he chose to fight and find other rogues like him who still had some sense of honor left. Unbeknownst to him, his talisman can still be found and is very much in the area. Delaney Ferrell comes barging into his life when she finds a rogue (him) checking out her truck. She doesn’t take kindly to him being near her, her truck, or finding out that she is his talisman. As they work together to figure out how a rogue can still find his talisman even after their window of opportunity is missed, they find themselves stuck between the warriors and the rogues. Can they find a compromise to make it work? Or will they be doomed to be outcasts of both?
This series intrigued me from the beginning. It was fun reading about a rogue and what they might be going through in regard to how they feel when they don’t really have a choice about their future. Since the warriors are always fighting against them, it was good to see how they might feel when confronted with someone that they trained with that felt they had to pick the other side. Delaney is a strong female character that wasn’t afraid to hang with the boys or duke it out. All in all, it was a quick read. Definitely an adult read as the bonding is graphic.

Rogue (The Talisman Series) by Tam DeRudder Jackson 4 Stars
Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. This story centres on Baz Cormac and Delaney Ferrell. As a warrior, Baz had to find his talisman by the time he turned twenty eight. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t and had to make a tough decision. Either go into hiding or turn rogue. Hiding and trying to survive wasn’t him so he turned rogue and fought for the war goddess Morrigan. He hated it but made the best of it. When rumours spread that the curse had been lifted, he didn’t want to believe that he had another chance. Delaney was almost thirty and still hadn’t found her warrior. Presuming he died, it can as a complete surprise when she found him. When a chance encounter unites these two, both are thrown for a loop. Will Baz be accepted into the warrior community again? Can Delaney overcome the shock of being mated to a rogue?
The story is well written and I love that the series incorporates celtic mythology. The chemistry is off the charts and there is some really good action scenes. My only issue was the repetitive indecision that Baz had over which side to stay on, warrior or rogue.

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.

I absolutely love the Celtic mythology in this series. Delaney and Baz’s story is so intriguing. She is a Talisman but she is also a warrior. Baz was 3 years past his 28th birthday so he became a rogue. When these 2 find each other and realize that she is his talisman, things get really interesting. Will he choose to stay a rogue or will he choose to become a warrior again? His choice will affect not only himself and Delaney but all rogues.

Rogue is an exciting paranormal romance steeped in Celtic Mythology, and the 6th book in the series, The Talisman Series. The beginning of the book pulled me in immediately. I loved the dual POV. Baz and Delaney find themselves constantly in intense situations with power hungry antagonists. Baz is a rogue, but not necessarily by choice. I adore both MC’s they are both bada$$ and super interesting. The sexual tension between Baz and Delaney is intense and steamy. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout. What happens when the Goddesses come calling? Baz has found himself in a situation for love or to have freedom. Which is more important?
This is fast paced and will keep you entertained the entire time. Definitely recommend this book and the series.

This is another strong addition to this series, and is just as exciting and action packed as the others. This world and the characters pull you in and really keep your attention. I enjoyed how fast paced the story was. So much seems to happen and it keeps the pages turning. This series has been a great introduction to this author and with each new book I am enjoying her writing style more. This book was another step to adding her to a list of authors I read without hesitation and I think her work is worth a try.

This is the 6th book in The Talisman series. I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. This is a story of good vs evil with hints of celtic mythology. It involves fated mates, magic, a curse, a one man’s search for survival and redemption by finding his fated mate (Talisman). This story is action packed and the author has a unique way of writing that grips and reader and doesn’t let you go. I would recommend reading the books in order so you can get the full story with regards to the evil that has cursed the warriors and what it means. This story is told from several points of view which keeps the story engaging and moving forwards at a fast pace. I love the main characters of Delany and Baz. They are both strong characters fighting for and protecting the people they care about. When they meet they are enemies but what do you do when you realise that your enemy could possible the fated mate you’ve been searching for your whole life.
This story is full of action packed adventure and a romance that is so special that I couldn’t put it down until the end. It was one story that I completely lost myself to and really enjoyed.

This was a good five star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. Baz is a rogue who surrendered to Morrigan. When he finds out the truth he devises a plan. He also meets Delaney who throws him for a loop, he finally found his mate. Their connection was off the charts. Will Baz follow through on his plans? Will he get the HEA with his mate? I really enjoyed the characters, they were both very strong. The author does a great job with her writing. We get multiple POV in this read, I really enjoy that so you can see what everyone’s thinking. We get action, adventure, magic and so much more in this read. If you’re looking for a great series to read, 1-click and get started on this one.

This is the first book I have read by Tam DeRudder Jackson; the original synopsis drew me to this story immediately. Within the first few pages the story developed into so much more than I expected, while Baz is a rogue it is not exactly by choice. Taking the best option in a bad situation he has been a rogue now for three years, but his key goal is to introduce a new class of Celtic fighters outside of the current black and white status of warriors and rogues. Reading that a warrior has until their 28th birthday I thought it was some type of trinket but meeting Delaney you quickly learn that it is the fated mate of a warrior, she is his talisman. Working for the war goddess Morrigan is not an easy task but it’s better than allowing her to kill you the day of your birthday when you fail to find your talisman. While Baz completes every mission Morrigan gives him, she is not his true patroness, and he has an alternative goal in his life. He wants to go to one of the many other deities and start a third class of Celtic fighters, mercenaries, with him as their leader. Morrigan has her rogues hunting the Sheridan family warriors though, it is through Delaney’s perspective you learn why. A Sheridan ancestor denied the goddess’s offer to go to bed with her, being that they are descendants of a clan of demigods they can survive a night in her bed without dying from the experience. A thousand-year curse finally broken by Rowan and Alyssa Sheridan’s wedding giving rogues and talismans until the age of forty-two to find each other, which is a huge thing considering they originally only had seven years to find each other between the sign ceremony and their 28th birthday. Delaney now has hope once again for the first time in two years that she may still have a chance at love and happiness. Baz while pondering the possibility he wonders more so how it could affect his ultimate mission. When given the opportunity to move and have a training room for his rogues he takes the chance leading to the unexpected. Will Baz succeed in getting his own class of fighters? How do Delaney and Baz find each other? Is their bond strong enough to save her? The incredible world the author creates pulls you in on page one and continues to build until the very end. I found myself feeling the irritation and shock with the characters and the ultimate fear and love Delaney and Baz feel when she is robbed of her memories. This is a page turner from start to finish and is a refreshing read. Instead of the young coming of age stories of olde this book is with older characters in their early thirties getting the chance to find their warrior and talisman. I look forward to reading more of this amazing series very soon.

The Rogue is a story of a rogue warrior and is the 6th book in this series. If you are into Celtic mythology, this is the book and series for you! The dark turns and fighting elements in this story kept me on edge. While you can read this as an independent book, I would highly recommend reading the full series in order so you understand the build up and background of the characters involved in this extraordinary story. It is filled with thrill, deceit, grief, and passion. Highly recommend this book and series!

I was so excited to read book six in this amazing series. Another fast paced, paranormal, Celtic, romance jam packed with action. The author again does an amazing job of showing multiple POV’s which really gives you insight into both the main characters. The author did a great job of summarizing the previous 5 books and characters histories, but without it feeling like a full blown recap. It’s done in a brief way, so that readers of the previous books don’t feel bored, but new readers don’t feel overwhelmed. We have Baz and Delaney, two very unlikely partners, but they have amazing chemistry together. Baz was such the bad boy with a heart of gold, he had been dealt a rough hand, not finding his talisman before he turned 28 and had to make a tough choice about his future. Delaney was such an awesome role model, a hardworking heroine who was a talisman, but had also trained as a warrior. This was story full of twists and turns and as always I love that it is set in my home state Montana. I absolutely recommend that if you love action, paranormal, Celtic mythology and steamy romance, this is the book and series for you.

In only 2 books, Tam DeRudder Jackson has become one of my favorite authors. Her writing style, descriptions, & creativity make her entirely phenomenal. I fell in love with this series with Talisman, & even as out of order as I’ve now read Rogue, I feel like I haven’t missed anything. Each individual character is so different from the others, in thought processes & opinions & mannerisms – truly an amazing accomplishment! With steamy sexy scenes, exciting battles, adventurous vibes, & a little magic going a long way, I’ll thoroughly enjoy devouring every single word in every single book just as much as I did this one!

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. One of the things I enjoy most is her writing skills and her attention to details. She pulls you into the story with ease and keeps you there until the end. This book is no different. The characters are steamy, creative and pull you into their world with ease. They are relatable and add a lot to the story. A story about Delaney and Baz. They have great chemistry and a strong attraction. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout. What will happen when the Goddesses come calling on Baz? He has found himself making a choice of love or freedom. You don’t want to miss what happens. This is a fast paced, entertaining, hard to put down story that kept me coming back for more. I really enjoyed this romance story and I highly recommend it.

Rogue is the sixth book in The Talisman series by Tam DeRudder Jackson. This is a steamy paranormal romance with fated mates, action, adventure, danger, intrigue, the supernatural, druids, tension, intrigue, secrets, lies, angst, magic, Celtic mythology, warriors, good vs evil, history, and so much more. Baz discovers that a huge lie now overshadows his life path. As a rogue warrior he has been to hell and back and now finds himself in the centre of a supernatural battle with the highest of stakes and things begin to look grim. Delany is a talisman-warrior hybrid who has spent her life protecting the warrior community. Now not only has she been kidnapped, but she will also need to fight her fatal attraction to the ‘enemy’…. Sparks fly as their fate unfolds. This isn’t my first book by Tam DeRudder Jackson, but it is my favourite so far… Happy reading!

4 stars Rogue is a Paranormal Fantasy romance and the sixth book in the Talisman series. There is a lot happening in this action-packed tale. It’s so easy to become immersed in this magical world. It is written in multiple POV which makes the story so much more interesting hearing from other perspectives. This unique tale has druids and mythology, gods and goddesses, supernatural abilities, magic, a curse, revenge, and good vs evil. I enjoyed the colourful vast cast of many characters, but I really liked these two MC’s. They are badass characters they are interesting and face many challenges on the road toward something better. The sexual tension between these two is intense, steamy and sizzling. Kieran ‘Baz’ Cormac, a warrior joined the wrong side he aligned himself with evil and is now facing the deceit and lies he has been dealt. Just when he plans to take down the enemy the one thing he has been waiting for and had given up on comes into his life. His Talisman. Delaney has lived with the stigma of having a rogue in her family and everything that came with it. She has all but given up on finding the one. Now she finds that fate has given her a rogue as her fated mate. I wonder what comes next from Tam.

I’m pretty biased on this book because I absolutely love this series due to the plot. Morrigan is a fave of mine and these books are always beautifully written. Well worth the read if you are a fan of deities and like to have some spice to your books. I am still missing a few of the books in this series but even skipping one I did not get lost in reading Rogue. Best Celtic mythology fiction books I’ve had the honor of reading. You’ll fall in love with Baz and Delaney and question everything.

I loved the action in this one. I found the characters entertaining. Delaney and Baz kept me glued to the story but Teague and Ella were quite fun side story also. I found the story to be well-written. Isn’t Morganna quite the troublesome one? She stirs up trouble all around. A story that will pull you right in and you won’t want to leave until it’s over. Following the adventures of Delaney and Baz was an entertaining adventure for me. If you like paranormal romantic suspense, you should try this series. It’s really good.

Baz Cormac never intended to be a rogue, but fate had other ideas.
Being forced to pledge loyalty to the evil Morrigan is its own kind of hell. So when Baz discovers the lie she’s used to keep him and his band of rogues under her power, he concocts a plan to force the goddess’s hand, which drops him in the center of a cosmic tug-o-war. No matter which way he leans, someone is going to lose—and it looks like that someone may be Baz.
A talisman fights her fate…and her fatal attraction.
Delaney Ferrell has spent her life trying to live down her uncle’s choice to turn rogue. As a warrior-talisman hybrid, she’s done her best to serve the warrior community as a protector. But a cryptic letter sends her to an abandoned home where she encounters a lone rogue with fighting skills no rogue should possess. Instead of killing her, he kidnaps her and takes her to his lair. He presents a terrible danger to the community, one she must neutralize.
So why does he have to be so damn charming?
Discovering Delaney is his fated mate throws all of Baz’s plans into chaos. And when the goddesses come calling, Baz has to choose between a rogue’s freedom and a talisman’s love.
Will they have a chance at love, or will they be torn apart?
Like the tagline of her first novel, Tam DeRudder Jackson’s personal motto is “love is worth the risk.” Readers and reviewers have praised her stories for her swoon-worthy characters, movie-quality world building, and strong writing. Though she’s a voracious reader of all genres of romance, her favorite genres to write are paranormal and contemporary. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s probably traveling or skiing or dancing at a rock concert.

What attracted me to this first was the Celtic origins/theme because I’ve Welsh blood pumping through my veins 🏴❣️then there’s the cover 🙈🔥what a delectable combination 😉
I started reading , stopped and redefined the meaning I’df a Talisman and the started reading again and call me strange if you like but it took on a whole different dimension for me ❣️📚
So a talisman is a trinket or piece of jewellery thought to be protection against evil . Rowan needs to find his by his 28th birthday or our time and space bending warrior might face death or a fate far worse 🙈
Alyssa was raised be her grandmother from a young age after loosing her parents and she has no knowledge of her heritage which is both a good and a bad thing but it would’ve really helped if she knew because when she’s thrown into the deep end she has limited time to catch up , it’s her and Rowan against the world , well the fate of mankind sort of depends on them #nopressure#
When their paths cross I think Alyssa just assumed Rowan was trying to get into her dress but soon enough things get very real , dangerous , romantic , twisted and spicy . A read with a difference that I didn’t know I needed ❣️📚

4 Stars Talisman (The Talisman Series Book 1) by Tam DeRudder Jackson
Talisman is the first book The Talisman Series and is a Paranormal Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. There’s a lot going on in this story that is packed with Celtic mythology, magic , curses , gods and goddesses and so much more. This is a fairly new author to me and I look forward to seeing what other books they have written. There are a few twists that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. The characters are relatable and fully developed and there is definitely chemistry between. There’s ja few steamy scenes that will have you turning the pages. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next..i can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is the first book of the Talisman series. In this series each warrior must find his talisman (or soulmate) by a certain time or they will be cursed with one of two fates. In this first book we meet Rowan and Alyssa. Rowan is a modern day warrior that has made a name for his family in their security firm when he meets Alyssa, a Phd student wanting to finish her dissertation on celtic history. After finding footprints in her house she calls in Rowan’s firm to help. Here is where the battles begin. Will Rowan convince her that she’s his savior or will he fall to the Morrigan and her horrible army? Great new series

I’m a first time reader of author Tam DeRudder Jackson, she is a fantastic writer. I’m a huge fan of celtic mythology (and all mythology) so i really enjoy this book.

Im looking forward to reading the other books by Tam DeRudder Jackson, The ones in this series and the others. All the dudes on the covers look mighty fine lol.
