I might be the only one who can give him his memories, but I want more. The lover I could never forget is trapped inside the heartless man he’s become. I won’t stop until I reach him. I won’t stop until I find the answers he’s not giving me.

Wow this new dark & twisty series from Meredith Wild is amazing!
If you thought the first part of this story had you frantically turning pages, think again. Tristan Stone is back, and he’s even more delicious and bad-ass than before–exactly the way I crave my heroes. Just think what would happen if Jason Bourne and The Driver had a kid, then tossed in a bit of The Accountant just for good measure…now you’re getting the idea of just how epic this man is. Isabel is the perfect match for the man too: strong but not stupid about it, but willing to push past her comfort zones to save the sanity of the man she’s loved for years. In short, she’s the best friend you always want in your corner when things get rough–and in this book, the “rough” takes place in one of the twistiest plots I’ve ever read! In short, an absolutely EPIC read. So many stars!!
I want more of this story! The suspense is killing me because I want to know what happens next right now!
The story picks up where it ended in Part 1. Isabel makes it back to the States and Tristian soon follows. Both of them are still in danger but Tristian is determined to find out who put the hit out on Isabel. Isabel pulls her parents into what is happening and is hoping that her Dad will be able to dig for some information. Tristian is starting to get his memory back in pieces and some of it he doesn’t understand but is hoping to figure things out with the help of Isabel and his former military comrades.
Jay and her crew makes headway in trying to track down Isabel and Tristian so Tristian has a plan to get some information. While he is doing that, Isabel’s mom tells her some secrets about Isabel’s dead twin sister and wants to help Isabel disappear.
I can’t wait for Part 3 to come out. I want to find out what happens next!!!!
If you thought Tristan and Isabel were a force to be reckoned with in book 1, then wait until you read this one. There are so many WOW moments that it had me sitting on the edge of my seat, bitting my nails every page I turned.
Tristan, still trying to come to terms with learning things he had thought long forgotten.
Isabel, is learning how to become more independent, and take control of her life and that of her future.
As with The Red Ledger book 1, book 2, is just as addicting, and you will not want to miss out on reading it.
Meredith, has a way of writing a series that just draws you in from page one. With all the emotion, angst and mystery that unfolds at every turn, The Red Ledger Series proves to be that kind of series.
So much potential!
Meredith brings us part two of the Red Ledger, where Isabel finds herself in the US again but under an assumed name. Not knowing what to do she enlists the person Tristan asked for help to drop her off at her friend’s place. Tristan eventually arrives in the US to discover Isabel not where she should be. However, events unfold putting them in more danger than they thought and now someone is trying to kill them on US soil!
A mighty cliffhanger that has left me feeling sad and anxious and I’m hoping the next one comes out before August as I’m not sure I can wait that long to find out more:)
Meredith Wild is building an outstanding series in Red Ledger. Tristan and Isabel’s chemistry is off the charts. They are both so strong, so resilient, so intriguing. This is edge of your seat reading at its best!
“Every bond can be broken. Family, friends, lovers.”
Book two kept my heart pumping just like the first book from the first to the last page. As bad as I want all my questions answered…I don’t…that would mean the end of the Red Ledger. Book three is sure to have as much intensity and mystery as the others have.
“Cryptic and moody. Tender one minute, indifferent the next. Two steps forward, one step back.”
I feel the same way as this quote…once a few pieces of the puzzle are filled in a few more go missing. You start to see pieces of the past. What drives Tristan and how he came to be the man or ghost that he is.
Wow, this series continues to amaze me in the second installment of The Red Ledger. The writing is beautiful and very soulful.
The story continues with Tristen and Isabel, I thought the first book had me gripping my kindle hard enough to break it, well this time it may have cracked. The power of these two is undeniable. The hurdles they have to climb are only becoming hard when Isabel brings her family into the picture. But someone in her family may have a way out for Isabel, or at least a way to hide. Can she walk away from Tristen knowing she may never see him again? Grab this to find out! Now I shall wait “patiently” for book 3.
I already pre ordered the next one. Can hardly wait to get it.
This is the second instalment in this exciting series and we are plunged right back into the action almost from the beginning here.
This time around we are in the States after Tristan sent Isobel off there to safety; not to worry; it’s not long before he’s hot on her heels as Isobel seems to suffer from a little thing called; NOT FOLLOWING ORDERS!!!
Considering he’s the killer and shes out of her comfort zone I would think she would show a bit more wit if she wants to stay alive; it’s common sense 101 really.
So I rated this and the previous novella the same; but in my opinion, this one has the slight edge for me; I just felt much more of a connection between Isobel and Tristen and I also felt that there was much more going on here in terms of mystery and intrigue to keep my attention.
Tristan is a whole lot warmer this time around as he slowly starts to regain fragments of his past.
This really was a short but packed volume and I really appreciated the finale and its potential for growth.
The only downside for me here is that I’m not a great fan of serial novella’s.
I feel they are too short to hook and invest me in the drama.
I can count on one hand the number of these types of fiction I’ve rated highly, luckily “The Red Ledger” series is one of the better novella serials I’ve experienced; it certainly was packed throughout despite being bitesize.
I’m very intrigued to see where this will go next.
A fab little read.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of “The Red Ledger: 2” of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
The Red Ledger #2 by Meredith Wild is Part 2 of a 6 Book Series. This book continues the story of Isabel Foster and Tristan “Red” Stone . You need to read book 1 before progressing to book 2 for this isn’t standalone reads. This book picks up where book 1 left off—-Isabel is back home in Washington DC and she is trying to recover from the events that happened in book 1. She is missing Tristan, trying to make sense of all that went down and is just missing Tristan so very much. It is all just overwhelming for her yet she is trying to understand what happened. Meanwhile Tristan is trying to recover his memories and also trying to figure out who Isabel really is to him and what their past meant then and now, to him. Tristan and Isabel continue to wade through the cloudy waters that was their “relationship” as best they can. They aren’t sure what they mean to each other, what each other means during the coming days, weeks, months….They really don’t know but the attraction between them intensifies with each passing minute, growing more intense and steamy. Tristan continues to be drawn to Isabel , feels right protective of her and oddly jealous of any man other than him in her personage. He wants her, needs her and knows she is something worth saving. Isabel sees that Tristan is still mysterious, sexy, dangerous and possessive yet she sees another side to him, a more sensitive side, one that seductively calls to her. There are many twists in this book, many ups and downs- and before you know it, the book ends on another epic cliffhanger. I cannot wait to read what happens next in The Red Ledger #3.
My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
As we embark on part two of this addictively suspenseful novel, we find Tristan and Isabel separated. Isabel is fleeing Brazil for the United States under Tristan’s orders. With a new passport and name to go by, she tries to make sense of the past ten days of her life. The past ten days, since reuniting with the man she loved; the man she thought was dead.
Meanwhile, Tristan continues to evade the men on their tracks and reconnects with Isabel in the states. He starts to track down more details in hopes of stopping the madness that is following them, and putting both of their lives in such peril. Tristan is, however, caught off guard by the sudden and unexpected changing emotions he is beginning to feel when it comes to matters regarding Isabel.
I was gripped from the first page of this book and found myself holding my breath at times; waiting to learn the fate of our main characters, and those who are after them. I found myself consumed by Tristan’s character and could not get enough of him and how his mind and heart are both slowly evolving concerning Isabel.
With Isabel’s sudden disappearance, will Tristan be able to find her before the contract killers? Or has time finally run out on our reunited lovers? I for one don’t know how I will wait for these, and so many more questions to be made clear in the next installment of this deliciously habit-forming new series.
I was so looking forward to this book that I queue jumped and put it before the dozens of books I have scheduled to read months in advance. I wasn’t disappointed. I could not put it down and ended up reading it in one night. Sleeps overrated anyway, right?
Tristan seems to have gotten on board with the fact that his past may not have been all terrible and Isabella must have been a bright spot for him. He heads back to America to fight all the demons of his past and make sure Isabella is safe and finds a soldier he was in the war with. He finds an interesting aspect that floods light on his history with Isabella. Of course, with the good, comes the bad. They have located Jay, and she is determined to finish what Tristan failed to do. But she’s going for both of them.
The ending leaves you rooting for Isabella but hoping Tristan will do what needs to be done. I can’t wait for part 3!
If Red Ledger part 1 was intense, part 2 takes the intensity up several notches. I’m rather obsessed with Tristan and Isabel’s story. I love how this takes the idea of a second chance romance and amps up the excitement with tons of suspense, intrigue and plot twists. Part two picks up right where part one ended. Isabel is in Washington, DC. Tristan is desperate to protect her. Isabel being Isabel, she doesn’t exactly follow directions and soon, trouble and danger are back in a big way.
My favorite part of this story so far is watching how Tristan, a man who can’t remember his past and has a seemingly cold and unfeeling heart, starts thawing out for a woman he shouldn’t care about, but cannot turn away from. Isabel also is so compelling. Tristan was her world until he vanished and seeing him again makes her want it all.
The ending has me ready to bite all of my nails off as I await part three. This is shaping up to me one of my favorite summer series reads and I cannot wait to see how it continues to twist and turn with each new part.
Book 2 in The Red Ledger series, and this picks up straight off after book 1, so make sure you read this first!
This was a really exciting and intense read with the pace and the action hotting up even more!! It was devoured in one sitting and I was on the edge the whole time!
Tristan is still trying to come to terms with his memory loss and remember whats missing, trying to piece together details of his former life and that last mission, with help from an old buddy in the same unit. His intense attraction to Isabel is growing and he is confused, confounded and scared by his feelings towards her, feelings he’s not used to. He tries keeping some distance between them as he knows once he starts he won’t be able to stop.
Isabel is scared and just wants to help Tristan and be there for him, but is hurt by his constant rejection. But she is learning to be more reliant on herself, standing up to Tristan, and wanting to find out what happened to him, digging a little into his past, trying to find out who’s after them.
Lots going on in here!! Lots of drama, angst, emotions and plots twists!! I love seeing the slow changes in the characters as the story progresses. It’s definitely a roller coaster of a read, I can’t wait for more. Highly recommended reading.
this book is amazing… Tristin Stone has got to be the hottiest man Ever!!! This stoy keeps you on the egdeThe Red Ledger: 2 of your seat! so much love and suspence and SeX!!!! This story is Great!! cant wait for Part 3!
Isabella has escaped death not once but twice and now she and Tristan are running for their lives. Back to where it all began. Is it smart? Is it safe? Only time will tell. Where to hide while on the search for answers and who to trust are the biggest issues for them. Tristan trusts no one and Isabella may trust too many. The danger follows them. The answers will stun them. But the paths they are on may not be the same ones. I am so highly anticipating the next installment of this series! Meredith Wild has my stomach in knots with this one.
The Red Ledger: 2
“Hope is the last one to die.”
Red Ledger Part 2 is just as gripping and suspenseful as Part 1. Isabel is hopeless, exhausted and a bit reckless. She doesn’t fully understand what she has gotten herself into but has to somehow learn to accept the situation.
“Having Tristan with me again does something to my soul. No matter what we’re facing, being in his presence again puts things right.”
What can I say about Tristan? I love the possessiveness and the darkness that lives within him. He is convinced that he will never be the man of his past. He is cryptic, moody and doesn’t know how to accept love or kindness or how to trust anyone. Hoping to fill in the missing blanks and find the answers he is seeking, he begins digging into the past.
“The truth is crushing, but I find myself seeking more of it. More of the painful, terrible truth.”
The push and pull between Isabel and Tristan is insane and I loved every minute of it. I have a thousand and one theories going through my head right now and I can’t wait to see what Part 3 will bring to the table. I definitely recommend this series!!!
“I’m choosing the point where my old life ends and my new life begins on my own terms, in my own way. I’m drawing this mark on the timeline of my life alone.”
Phenomenal, amazing, and epic. These are the words I think of when I finished this book. This author keeps on surprising me with her incredible writing style. I love suspense in my romance but this series is exceeding my expectations. This is the second book to The Red Ledger series. You have to read the first one before this one or you will be lost. I started this book as soon as I got it and I was glued to my seat. I read this book in only one sitting.
This amazing story begins where the first one left off. Isabel and Tristan are now back in the states. They are trying to find the answers to why this is all happening. Isabel goes to her parents to see if they have any information but they come up empty. She still has very strong feelings for Tristan but she doesn’t know how he feels. Isabel starts to see a more loving side to Tristan but she doesn’t know if it’s because he loves her or he is just trying to protect her. She finds out some information that could help him understand what happened to him all those years ago but will it put them into more danger? Will Tristan and Isabel get the answers they are searching for or will it lead them into more trouble?
This book is phenomenal. They storyline has it all romance, suspense, and mystery. You will fall in love with these characters all over again. Isabel is beautiful with a heart of gold but she has some sass. She is no damsel that’s for sure. Tristan is still dark and moody but he starts to show his real self. He really does care for Isabel and he will do anything to protect her. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your toes curl. This author know how to keep on the edge of your seat. This book has a lot of a twists and turns I didn’t see coming. The ending blew my mind. I’m already counting down the days for the next book.
The second installment of The Red Ledger picks up right where the first one left off. Isabel is back home in Washington DC still reeling from the events of the first part of the story. She is confused, she is missing Tristan, and she is just trying to make sense of what in the world is going on. Tristan is continuing to try to put the pieces of his past back together, all while trying to make sense of everything that he is learning about himself, about Isabel, and about what they shared together.
This second part of their story together continues their adrenaline pumping story, it continues all of the intensity from the first part of the series, and it will have you on your toes through every single page waiting to see what will happen next. In this story both Tristan and Isabel are faced with the reality of the situation they are in. He must realize what this all means, what his crashing past and present really means for his future and for Isabel’s future, and he has to simultaneously figure out how he’s going to get them out of the situation they’re in. Isabel on the other hand must come to terms with what this means for her life, with what she will and will not believe, and how far she is willing to go to save the man that she once and still does love.
This second part was everything I needed and more with Tristan and Isabel. Their story is one of the most addicting, intense, and consuming stories I have EVER read!! I loved every part of this story, and I am dying for more of them!!!
From the moment I started this part of their story, I could not put this book down. I was once again consumed within every twist and turn, with every shocking moment, and I loved all of the new dynamics and characters and storylines that were introduced in this part. Meredith Wild is setting up what I know will be an incredible an exceptional series (because it already is that and more!) and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for these characters. So many of the moments with these characters took my breath away, squeezed my heart, had me on the edge of my seat, and shocked me to my core. I loved it. I loved that I never knew what that next page would bring, I loved that I never knew what would happen next for these characters, and I loved that I was so consumed within it at all.
Meredith Wild has upped the ante in this second part, and she is laying more and more of the groundwork for what I know will be one of my favorite series ever. Her words, what she creates with them, and what she brings to life through every heart pounding and adrenaline spiking moment of this book is something I know I’ll never forget!
If you enjoyed the first installment of the series, you will love this one even more. You will love how it surprises you, you will love how it shocks you, you will love how you get more of Tristan and Isabel to love and root for and believe in, and you will love every single moment you get these characters.
I loved every word of this book. I loved what I got with these characters, I love how it entranced me even more within everything they were sharing and everything that was happening around them, and I loved getting to be there right along with them in all the action. Meredith Wild brought everything in credible word of this book to life, and I truly can’t tell you enough how exceptional it was to experience that!!! This second installment was everything I needed and more, and I cannot wait for the third one!!!
Trust me when I say that the moment you start the series you will not be able to put it down and you will love every single thing you get within its pages!
