When you fall in love with the most unexpected person, at the most unexpected time…… bed? It was my pleasure.
Age means nothing to me. I’ve seen and done things men twice my age never will. What I want more than anything is someone to share my life with and that person is my best friend’s older sister, Whitney.
Whitney Trumbolt
Ryan is ten years my junior, but damn, being a cougar never felt as good as it did the night we spent together. Now I’m struggling with wanting things to either go back to the way they were or spend every night in his arms.
Make my wedding planning company the best in the south? Did it. Ignore the way my body trembles when I see Ryan? Epic fail. Freak out when I see a positive pregnancy test staring back at me? Complete with mascara running down my face and clutching my pearls.
Looks like things won’t go back to the way they were. There’s a man in my life that doesn’t take no for an answer. He’s the one who makes my blood run hot, cheeks turn red, and heart beat wildly within my chest. His name is Renegade.

This is not my first book by this author, but is the first book in this new to me series. I have had this book on my kindle for awhile and do not understand why I waited this long to read it. The writing flowed so well and I felt like I know each character in the book. I love it when an author can pull me in like that. On with my review: Ryan and Whitney have known each other for years. He is her baby brothers best friend. She has never looked at him as nothing more, unlike Ryan who has wanted Whitney for years. That fateful night at the bar starts a love affair many of us love to read about.
Whitney is the type of woman you root for. She has been married and burned before and does not want to get hurt again. She is a few years older than Ryan and it takes Her awhile to get past that. Her night with Ryan was supposed to be a one night thing, but turns into a beautiful love affair. Ryan proved to her that there is nothing he will not do for her. They loyalty and dedication Ryan shows Whitney is something most women want. I am so happy that both of them for the family and the life they deserve. I can not wait to read the rest in the series.

Wow!!! That is first and foremost because this is a great start to a series. The chemistry between Whitney and Ryan “Renegade” was burning up the pages. Its a story about a women who has been broken down and wants to start building herself up again. Whitney is striving to be independent and when she is see Ryan at a low point she goes for something once in her life. Ryan has wanted Whitney for a long time and he gets his wish one night but that is not enough for him. Whitney is Ryan’s best friends older sister and she sees him as her little brothers best friend and not a lover. Ryan sets out to prove her wrong. Can one night turn into something more? You really have to read this to find out. It will have you screaming at Whitney, laughing, feeling their lust and love. Ryan just has to go through Whitney’s walls before he can get the woman he has always wanted. You do not want to miss this book.
Pew Pew!! Omg Laramie Briscoe did it again. Awesome start to a new series. Here we meet Ryan “Renegade” Kelper. 25 young hot cop, prior service Army and in love with his best friends older sister Whitney, who is in the events planning business and has been through a nasty divorce.

This book had it all. Including great leads into the next book and future books.

Loved how Renegade never gave up on his love for Whitney and did anything to make her dreams come true.
.
This is what every woman or man wants, unconditional love. Well done Ms Briscoe.. Another amazing read!
Go Ryan!!! Younger man wanting an older woman and when he finally gets an opening to actually get a taste of Whitney he wastes no time.
Oh my, Ryan has all the moves…in bed and out of it. He’s such a sweet freaking guy that you just want to hug all over him. When he’s trying to convince Whitney what they have is real I was going aww, what a sweetie.
The more they get to really know each other and their pasts, they’re there for each other. She’s scared but he tries to show her that there’s nothing to be scared of. That they got this.
I absolutely loved Ryan and Whitney and all of the other characters!! Can’t wait to read the next book in this series! I can tell I’m going to love all of these men!
Brother’s best friend read.
I was laughing and had tears in my eyes from Ryan and Whitney’s book. Ryan came from a tough childhood and became an incredible man. Whitney had to learn to be confident in herself as well as letting her guard down to love again.
Didn’t finish it – Stilted.
Ryan is adorable! love his character! Whitney is a stubborn and almost heart breaking character. They are well written for each other.
I want me a Renegade. What a great love story. That’s what this book is… a wonderful example what women should be looking for. Loved this story!
OMG, what an amazing story! I loved the relationships between Whitney and Ryan and Ryan and Trevor. Ryan has been obsessed with Trevor’s’ older sister since forever. When they end up at a bar together Ryan’s dreams come true. What was supposed to be a one time hookup changes into something so much more. I found myself totally rooting for this to all work out. Laramie, you just about killed me with that one chapter (yes, you know which one it is). The feels in this story was off the chains, I laughed, sighed, cried (good and bad) found my next book boyfriend in Ryan! Can’t wait for Trevor’s story.
Really liked this book. Like that a younger man can go for a older woman. Who says a man has to be older than the woman.
Awesome book
Ryan “Renegade” Kepler has wanted one woman most of his life but being as she is his bestfriends older sister, he thought she was never attainable. Then one drunken night they spend in each others arms. Later to find out that he gave her more than all her desires come true. They must now try to traverse through the minefield of family and their own relationship and what it all means. Good story and very lovable characters. Steamy bedroom scenes that will melt your kindle. Good start to this series.
I thoroughly enjoyed this spin of the older woman/younger man with a touch of unrequited love story. Ryan “Renegade” Kepler is Whitney’s brothers best friend and he has been a part of their family for a long time, as his home life was terrible. Renegade has been in love with Whitney since the day he met her. The only person that knew of his unrequited love was his best friend Trevor “Tank” Trumbolt. Whitney was oblivious to his feelings.
Whitney was married to a monster and hid that fact for a long time from her family and friends. He abused her mentally and physically until she finally had enough. They divorced, but she is carrying the scars and hurt from that relationship.
Whitney is a southern belle complete with pearls. She runs a successful wedding planning business and works long hours. She wants some fun and passion in her life, so she sets out to tie one on and find a willing partner for the evening. Renegade finds her at the bar and chases off prospective suitors. The last thing he thought was that Whitney would proposition him and he was not about to turn her down.
Whitney was so funny when she propositioned Renegade and he was amazing with her. He made sure that even though she had been drinking that she was a willing participant in their night of passion. Renegade had hopes that this was a start of something between them, but Whitney was not having it. She was embarrassed. How could she be that cougar? She was so caught up in what other people would think, she didn’t consider her feelings or Renegades.
This book takes you on the journey of healing, finding that you can love again and let someone love you. I loved watching how Renegade carefully guided their relationship. He took it as slow as Whitney needed it, but he was not going to take no for an answer when it came to being a part of his child’s life or being a partner to Whitney. There is action, there are some funny moments and some very sexy times between Renegade and Whitney. There is also family drama when Tank finds out Renegade was with his sister!
The book held my attention from the start until the last page turned. This is a great start to a new series and I look forward to more in the Moonshine Task Force series.
