Tanner Crawford thought he would be a career Ranger. When
that did not pan out, he needed something to keep him busy
and his mind sharp. Little did he know it would land him on
security detail with the one girl who had his heart.
Mia is the one that got away, so to speak. They met in
college where Mia was Tanner's tutor. They broke up and went
their separate ways, only to meet again years later. Mia has
to bring a prized fertility statue to the next exhibit but
since there has been numerous attempts to steal the statue,
Tanner is brought in to keep her and the statue safe. Along
the way several mishaps occur.
The situations are funny, and the dialogue is witty. Nelson
does a very good job of quickly getting into the characters
personalities. We know from the
start that Mia is extremely smart and goes after what she
wants. Even if what she wants may put her in danger. Tanner
is ambitious and highly intuitive. He does
his job well, and with great skill.
While reading THE RENEGADE, I felt like the story came from
my own fantasy. I would love to go on long car trip with a
hot guy and see what trouble we could get into.
I really enjoyed this book because it had two of my
favorite romantic themes-- second chance at love, and the
soldier turned civilian bodyguard. It was a quick and easy
read with erotic sex scenes that left me wanting more. I was
a tad bit jealous of Mia because of the way Tanner loved
her. His attentiveness and all around adoration of her made
him the perfect hero in my eyes. I love to read books in
which the hero has a deep love for the heroine. Rhonda
Nelson is a definite must read from now on.
Ranger Security expert Tanner Crawford is lethally sexy.
With his hair-trigger temper, smart-ass mouth and lady-
charmer ways, he's no stranger to trouble. And it turns out
that trouble's no stranger to him, either. Because Mia
Hawthorne, the only woman who ever rocked his world, just
tumbled back into his life. As a client he must protect!
Ah, hell. Anybody but her…
When Mia sees Tanner, her carefully ordered world screeches
to a halt. It starts right up again though— in his bed! Sex
with Tanner is still incredible. But he's a bad boy
destined to break her heart once more… and she craves
stable and predictable. Doesn't she?
Well, maybe. But first, she's going to find out exactly
what she's been missing. And this time, she'll be the one
to walk away.
If she can…
