Review Originally Posted at: Book FreakRating:4.5 StarsYour heart would definitely go for Daisy – a daughter of a Renegade son whom we all have met in the first book. She has been neglected by her father, who preferred a bottle of booze and constantly passing out forgetting about her. But I think her father was better, because despite the constant drinking, he still has affections for her unlike her mother who do not have a good bone in her body. I hated her, and I’m sure you’ll hate her too. She was so selfish, I wonder why Maker (Daisy’s father) wouldn’t just divorce her, or better, get rid of her.She didn’t want to follow her footsteps, she wanted a different future for her – something that would keep her close to her family, but out of the club. She was constantly struggling, taking care of her father, saving for her future, and trying to stay away from her mother – she has a full on her plat and she didn’t need Preach to add to the equation. He is everything she swore she didn’t want in her life – but he was too irresistible and it was futile to deny him. The attraction was off the charts, and the sexual tension was instantly felt when they’re together in the room. Problem is, Preach couldn’t claim her still until she reached eighteen.One night of passion is all it takes for her world to shift, and there was no going back for her. Just as when she was ready to get herself branded, Preach does something unforgivable that will drive her away for three years.Preach Austin had lived his young life suffering from the roughness of their father’s upbringing. It wasn’t then when he hit her sister that he had lost it. He was sent off to prison where he met Kidd – since then he wanted nothing more but to be a member of the Renegade MC. All he wanted to do was to get over from the nightmares of his past until Daisy came into his life.I don’t know what went wrong and why the heck did he do it – but Arrrrrghhhh! He just ruined what could have been the best thing that ever happened to him! I so hated him for it – although he suffered too, because when Daisy discovered his secret his life went spiraling down. And liking him at this point? It was so hard to do. He keeps on messing up his chances, doing one stupid thing after the other. I couldn’t really blame Daisy why she tried her best in staying away. Her trust was ruined, and it would take a whole lot more before it was restored. A lot of groveling, begging, and giving up something he was accustomed to for some years. Would he be able to gain her trust once again? Or would he lose her for good?Now, someone wants Daisy too, and she’s about to move on – it’s when he realizes what he is about to lose. Can he prove that he could change? That he would never break her heart again?I didn’t expect it will take a little while before Preach had some senses knocked into his head and finally gathered his act and made Daisy his. It was a little tiring to see him ruin things for the both of them over and over again. They were meant for each other – but circumstances, reality and a meddling no-good mother would get in the way. As time goes, instead of getting closer, they grow apart, wounds start to get deeper, and it seems it would be too late to patch things up if things would go this path.I must admit, I was curious about this two – theirs was more complicated, and more tangled up. Dawn Martens and Emily Minton will give you characters that you will both love and hate, you will once again meet the old characters from the first novel, and you will get into the web of deceit, lies, and secrets that will make you hooked into this Renegade sequel. It’s still steamy, raw and screaming of sex. The emotions are all over some pages, and for a while I have a doubt of what the ending would be. I was just soooo glad that Preach saw the light, and finally did the right thing without messing up.✪Complimentary Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.✪More of my reviews at [...]
