In RENEGADE by Lora Leigh bridal shop owner Mikayla Martin
has had somewhat of a bad year. She has witnessed a murder
but nobody believes her. Elite Ops agent Nikolai Steele is
only doing a buddy a favor by talking to the crazy lady that
witnessed his friend kill somebody but when Nikolai takes
one look at Mikayla he knows he's in trouble. By trouble I
just don't mean protecting her.
I enjoyed reading RENEGADE but wish I could have enjoyed it
more. I liked both of the characters and how intense the
plot was but, I thought there was a weirdness to RENEGADE.
When RENEGADE first opens it doesn't really
catch your attention, and to me was a little boring. I also
didn't like the fact that nobody would believe Mikayla about
who she saw because she had a spotless reputation and never
lies. The person in question, Maddix Nelson has an
airtight alibi and is someone the witness knows. So it
basically goes around in a he said she said and Nikolai must
find out who is lying.
RENEGADE had some great points to the
story both characters were hot and very easy to love. The
story line was easy to follow even though it was really
intense. Lora Leigh's writing
style is fabulous and the way she describes the characters
and the setting is something I liked about this story.
Overall I enjoyed RENEGADE but I felt like it was missing
something and that missing something could probably give it
a spark to make it a great book.
As a bridal shop owner, Mikayla Martin helps make women’s
wedding dreams come true. Her own life, however, has become
a nightmare since she witnessed a murder—and got an
up-close-and-personal look at the killer. What’s worse: She
knows she knows him. But the police, after doing an alibi
check, don’t believe her. It’s up to Mikayla to prove them
wrong…and do whatever it takes to solve the murder by herself.
Elite Ops agent Nikolai Steele, code name Renegade, is asked
to pay an old comrade a favor. This friend swears he’s no
killer—and Nik believes him—even though he’s been mistaken
as one by Mikayla. So Nik goes to set her straight…but the
moment he lays eyes on the fiery and determined beauty, he
knows he’s in too deep. A woman this irresistible can only
mean trouble and, sure enough, after sticking her nose in
one too many places, someone wants Mikayla dead. Now, in
this novel from Lora Leigh, Nik must find a way to keep her
safe, clear his friend’s name, and find the real killer, who
remains on the loose…
