Renegade Reject (Renegade Sons MC, #2)
By Emily Minton & Dawn Martens
Synopsis
Daisy “Little Flower” Anderson has lived her entire life on the sidelines of the Renegade Sons MC. Her father is a member, and her mother a club whore turned old lady. Not wanting to follow their footsteps, she chose a different path; one that keeps her close to the biker family she loves, but out of the club.
Struggling to keep it together, she never thought she would have anything of her own, until she met Preach. He is everything she swore she didn’t want in life. One night of passion leads to unexpected consequences, and she knows, now more than ever, it’s time to move forward.
Garrett “Preach” Austin lived his life caught in his father’s iron fist. He never thought he would want anything more than freedom from his past, until he met his “Little Flower”. She shows him there is more to life than pain.
Preach has a secret; one that forces him to choose between Daisy and his brothers. Even though he loves Daisy, the Renegade Sons are the only true family he has. He knows he can’t have her, yet he can’t let her go.
When Daisy moves on, Preach realizes what he’s lost. Can he prove that he’s the man for her, or is he too late?
Excerpt
Daisy
“Are you okay, girl?”
I look up and see the hottest man I have ever laid eyes on. His eyes, oh my God, they must be the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen; light brown with shots of gold throughout. They remind me of the Tiger’s Eye necklace my Grams gave me for my sixteenth birthday — just breathtaking.
He has golden highlights in his coffee colored hair. It brushes the top of his shoulders, lying haphazardly around his gorgeous face. For some reason, I have the urge to reach up and see if it’s as soft as it looks.
He’s tall, at least six foot, and the top of my head doesn’t even reach his shoulders. Other than his height, he’s not a big guy. Instead, he is long and lanky, reminding me of the cowboys in those old black and white western movies that my Grandpa and Uncle Holt used to watch.
Naturally, I notice that he’s wearing a cut just like my dad and his brothers. He’s a Renegade Son.
I know I’m staring at him, but I can’t stop myself. I swear, just looking at him takes my breath away and makes my eyes hurt at the same time. He really is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t take long for him to notice my reaction, and a slow smile spreads across his face. “What’s your name, girl?”
“Daisy,” I whisper, feeling a blush spread across my cheeks.
“My name’s Garret Austin, but you can call me Preach,” he says as he climbs onto his bike. “Climb on. Let’s get you out of here.”
I nod, too tongue-tied to respond. I slide on behind him and wrap my arms around his waist. Leaning my chest against his back, I close my eyes and enjoy the ride.
Review
Annnnd they’ve done it again! Another phenomenal book in the Renegade Sons MC Series! The characters are gritty and real. The story will make you want to do all sorts of things to Preach. Some good, some not so good. I was glued to my tablet from the very first word and even skipped dinner because I didn’t want to put it down long enough to make myself something to eat.
Preach and Daisy are quite the couple. In some ways they remind me of Kidd and Jenna from book 1 but yet they’re still their own people. Preach’s secret drives a wedge between them and they have to wade through a lot of crap. In the mean time, Daisy grows up and matures from the naïve 18 she starts out as. They both have demons to deal with but they really are great for each other. The personalities of the characters in these books are fun sometimes and gritty a lot of the time. There’s no sugar coating going on here that’s for sure.
The story line is not quite as dark as book 1 but isn’t short of drama or crazy antagonists. The story flowed really well and scenes transitioned smoothly. I found the main characters (and most of the supporting ones) very likeable despite their flaws. They seemed like real people and came to life easily in my mind as I read the story. If you’re a fan of MC books (and even if you aren’t) I really recommend this book (but start with book 1). 5 out of 5 freaking fantastic books!
