New York Times bestselling author Skye Jordan brings you another steamy Renegades story + BONUS CONTENT!When pro surfer Zach Ellis isn’t traveling the world-wide competition circuit, he works as a Renegade stunt double for the hit TV series, Hawaiian Heat. After years of tangling with the ocean, his body has paid the price. So when he gets a shot at a star roll on the show, Zach’s all in. He … in. He celebrates the career opportunity by taking a chance on a woman who’s not his usual island-girl type, only to discover he can’t bear to let her go.
Tessa Drake belongs mired in legislation battles in Washington DC, not standing on the sidelines of a filming set in Maui like a wannabe starlet. But even more important than her law career, Tessa needs Zach Ellis’s signature on legal papers. Papers that relinquish his parental rights so Tessa can adopt the girl who already calls her mommy. When she discovers Zach has slipped out of town before she makes contact, Tessa takes solace in the sexy star of Hawaiian Heat. A man whose warmth and dazzling grin makes her Mensa-level IQ vanish into thin air.
After an electrifying night together, Tessa is horrified to discover just who rocked her world. Zach is stunned to learn he’s a father. And both find themselves caught in a riptide pulling them in the opposite direction of their dreams.

I adore the Renegade series and Riptide ~along with Zach~ is now my favorite Renegade. The man was on top of the world, body double for the star of a hit TV show, the possibility of becoming the star, woman throwing themselves at him left & right…and then in one night it all came to an end…Zach was a father and the woman he just spent the night with wants him to give up his rights so she can adopt his child.
This super sexy surfer has quite the soft side and I love it!
Tessa has done everything for this child except give birth to her…all she wants is the official paper that says she is a Mom. She doesn’t count on the child’s Dad being so wonderful, caring, and *ahem* so damn good in bed.
Can they find a way to co-parent….to co-mingle….to co-exist in this child’s life and each others???
Oh yes they can!!!
I loved the whole Renegades series.
Yet another fantastic Renegade story. I enjoyed the story of the Zach and Tessa. However, I love when the renegade family shows up and has a good time. Sophia stole my heart. She is definitely a future renegade. Zach coming to terms with being a daddy was fun. Tessa’s struggle with a potentially devasting heart break and need to break out of her comfort zone was heart rendering. It is a well written, enjoyable read.
I have to admit, I truly enjoy romance stories with children, especially when an author can totally capture that spark and wonder that kids have which completely shifts an adults life. Sophia is a doll in this story but she’s not the only star. Zach is that fabulously sexy surfer that you droll over when you hit the beach. He’s worked hard to be successful in his career but he’s also lead that footloose and free lifestyle. Tessa has fought many challenges to become a successful attorney, she is straight laced and focused on taking care of the people she loves. She has to seek out Zach to terminate his rights as Sophia’s father. This relationship starts out with a misunderstanding which makes Tessa’s job harder but at the same time, allows both people to connect in an honest and real way. Now, can they find common ground for Sophia? This was so much fun to experience Zach and Sophia getting to know each other. I love that the other Renegades are always around, supporting and loving each other which opens up a whole new world for Tessa and Sophia. Truly another exciting, fun and sexy journey with one of the Renegades.
I have loved each and every book so far in Skye Jordan’s Renegade series, and Riptide is no different! In fact, it ranks right up there with Relentless as one of my favorites. Each couple in these books have had such interesting and engaging stories, and they’ve all completely charmed me. The premise of Riptide is so intriguing and the book lived up to all my expectations for a Skye Jordan novel. A captivating plot, an oh so swoony hero, a feisty and spirited heroine, a darling and scene stealing 3 year old, and a location to die for- I don’t think there was one thing I didn’t love about this book!
Zach and Tessa, and Sophia’s, story is one that will capture your heart and give you all kinds of feels. This was a different and interesting take on the “secret baby” trope, and I really felt for Zach and Tessa both. Their journey was a rocky one, but in the end it was all so worth it.
Even though this is a part of the Renegade series it can definitely be read as a standalone.
Loved this book
Love this series and look forward to the future ones. I have fallen in love with this group and the family that have made! The relationship are swoon worthy!
Riptide (A Renegades Novel) by Skye Jordan
This is pro surfer Zach Ellis and Tessa Drake’s story.
A precious little girl brings Zach and Tessa together. Tessa needs Zach to sign his rights away so she can adopt the precious little girl.
This is an emotional, and heartwarming story. To complicate the situation Zach and Tessa’s careers are a problem plus they are extremely attracted to each other. How will they work everything out?
I loved Zach and Tessa’s story! A sexy and sweet romance.
FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Riptide took me on a great trip to the state of Hawaii with its very descriptive words about the sand and surf. I enjoyed the trip! I guess I won’t be writing any spoilers as the author’s blurb pretty much lays it out there, but this story is about Zach Ellis and Tessa Drake. There is a case of mistaken identity – and I will admit I was a bit confused while reading it; you’ll know it when you see it – but also an inconvenient attraction that knocks both of ‘em upside the head. And of course there is a little girl…she will melt your heart and make you laugh at the same time. I was quite pleased with Zach’s “enlightenment”; it was, after all, a pretty quick “trip” for him. I was a bit put out by Tessa and her nanny; it is, however, part of the story line so it works. If I’m getting annoyed or frustrated with a character? Means the author is doing their job of keeping me interested. All and all, I enjoyed the book, loved the setting, and maybe wished the author had fleshed out some story points a bit more. I recommend reading for it will take you on a pleasure trip without having to pack sunscreen.
