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.
