The Renegade by Kimberly Kincaid
I loved Jo and Sawyer’s story in The Renegade, book five
in The Intelligence Unit series, written with warmth, humor, and heart. This is
a story full of love, taking risks that challenge, and defining
what love, friends and family mean. Jo Rossi o has always wanted to
be an actress, but when she became pregnant with her daughter, that dream was
gone; at least until the time was right. She was in Remington, where her sister,
Frankie Rossi, lives, preparing for what could be her big break. She has the
opportunity to audition for a lead role in a new TV series, and while she
adores her daughter, she has also desperately missed this work and craft. Sawyer
Knox knows all about taking risks and going big. Since returning to Remington,
Sawyer has played it safe, working as a bartender.
Sawyer and Jo have a cute and humorous meet-cute, igniting the attraction
between them. Jo has played it safe since she had her daughter, so she decides
to have fun for the two weeks she was in town and take risks, as Frankie
suggested. Jo struggles with their age difference and the possibility of a
short-term affair. Sawyer continues to battle with issues of PTSD and the
fall-out of a traumatic brain injury from an IED explosion that killed all of
his friends and fellow teammates. Meeting Jo gave Sawyer hope for the future,
hope that may be cut short with Jo’s prior commitments. Emotions run high as Sawyer
and Jo get to know each other, and suddenly temporary doesn’t sound like long
enough. Their sizzling romantic adventure was heartwarming to watch.
Ms. Kincaid wrote an amazing,
steamy romance; a story of love and acceptance as
Jo and Sawyer deal with personal choices and family commitments; the romance is
enchanting; the characters are fun and flirty. The secondary and supporting
characters are energetic and familiar: Shawn and Frankie; Detective Isabella
Walker, Detective Addison Hale, Detective Matteo Garza, Liam Hollister,
Sawyer’s boss Kennedy, as well as Jo’s ex husband Derek, and their daughter
Makayla. I highly recommend The
Renegade to other readers.
