He’s death for hire…Some people measure life in hours. Days. Weeks. I measure mine in kills. A covert military mission gone wrong robbed me of my memory and any link to my past. This is my existence now. I execute and survive. Nothing more, nothing less. I was ready to write Isabel Foster’s name in my ledger of unfortunate souls until she uttered the one word that could stop the bullet meant … bullet meant for her. My name.
She knows my face. She knows me. She’s the key to the memories I’m not sure I want back. Now nothing is simple. I still have a job to do, and my soul isn’t worth saving. I’m not the man she thinks I am. I can’t love her. And sparing her life puts us both in the crosshairs.

Holy cow! I’m going to Hades for this, but I am so in love with Tristan Red!
Maybe it’s because he’s so damaged, a man in need of saving, either way, I’m freaking hooked!
This was not the kind of book I expected from this author, but OH MY GOD, was it incredible. From the very first sentence, it sucks you in and doesn’t let you escape until you’ve read the entire thing! Ms. Wild has a way of taking you on the kind of journey that you need time to recover from.
First we meet Isabel, a damaged and broken woman who has only ever loved on man in her life. Tristan. He left her in such a way that made it so she was completely incapable of getting over him. She had left her home, fleeing to Rio to escape his memory, but she ended up getting way more than she bargained for.
Tristan Red. All of his memories are gone apart from the last three years while he served as an assassin for hire. He’s cold, calm, calculating and does what he needs to in order to survive. He kills without remorse and he doesn’t ask questions. Until he meets his next target. Somehow, someway, she knows him and he can’t bring himself to do what needs to be done.
This book is an INSANE ride. So many twists and turns it will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last and leave you craving for more!
Out of all the Meredith Wild books I have read, hands down, this is my favorite one yet and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment!
5 out of 5 incredible stars!!!
Sexiness and suspense all wrapped in one. Once again Meredith Wild has an awesome read with characters that I can’t wait to know more about. A cliffhanger at the end that is making me have to jump right into part 2.
WOW! What a great start to this new series. Just when Tristan is set to kill, Isabel utters one word that seals her fate and saves her life…at least for now…”Tristan.” How does she know my name? Every touch reveals more flashes into his past and now they are on the run. The ending will leave you breathless and wanting more and isn’t that the tell of a truly great triller!?!?!
It’s a shame this book is divided in volumes because it leaves you wanting more. The story is action packed, intriguing, mysterious and with a little bit of romance. This is a great introduction to the history between Tristan and Isabel but more than that, it goes right to the point of what matters. Their present. And since Tristan decided to claim her as his (not that she had a problem with that) he will make her survival his new mission. This first part is the preparation to the battle that is coming. With few to non people to trust, lives to save and truths to uncover Tristan will have his work cut out for him. It is exiting at every page.
The Red Ledger part 1 ends a cliffhanger. I thought it was a good read and a page turner. It kept you on the edge of your sit and it was filled with twist and turns from the first chapter to the last. These book left me with many emotions about these two characters Isabel and Tristan. I look forward to reading part 2 in these series. I was provided with an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley exchange for a honest review.
I have to start by saying I had no idea that I needed to buy 6 books to get the full story and that seems really unnecessary to me. I wished this story was longer. The story moved at a slower pace than I had expected and I did not connect with the characters as I had hoped. With that being said, this wasn’t a terrible read, it just wasn’t a story for me.
THE RED LEDGER PART 1 By Meredith Wild
The is the story about Tristan Red and Isabel Foster. They are former high school sweethearts that broke up when he enlisted in the service and she went to college. He was wounded in action and lost his memory. He has turned into an assassin who has Isabel on his list. He goes to do the hit and she is asleep and while dreaming says his name. He feels compelled to find out more about her before he follows his orders. This story is fast paced and addictive.
I am loving this book and can not wait to read more! Meredith Wild is a great author that can be counted on to weave a solid story with great characters! I received an ARC from Netgalley for my honest review.
Meredith Wild is one of my all-time favorite authors for a reason. Her books perfectly weave together unforgettable characters, consuming stories, and a palpable heat that is brought to life through her spectacular writing. I have loved each and every one of her stories, but what she has begun with this new series and what she has so exceptionally created in this first part is in a league of its own.
The Red Ledger is one of the most addicting reads I have ever read. This book took me on one helluva whirlwind from start to finish, and made for one serious intense and consuming read that I could not get enough of. I loved every part of this story. I loved the literal fire it sent through me as I read it. I loved how it left me breathless at times. I loved that it gave me a story unlike any other I’ve ever read before. And I loved that it started what I know will be one of my favorite series.
The first part of this series follows the suspenseful story of Isabel and Tristan. He’s murder for hire, and her name is at the top of his list. Yet the moment he goes to do the deed, her breathless whisper of his name, his real name changes everything. You see Tristan and Isabel have a past, yet he doesn’t remember any of it. She does though, and the more time he hesitates, the more he wonders about that past and the world of feeling that lays in that past that he can still feel the edges of. He also can’t seem to stop thinking about her and wondering more about what he’s forgotten. This story follows them as they set off on the run, as he tries to find the answers he seeks, and as she tries to see if the Tristan she loved all those years ago is somehow still in the man who was hired to kill her.
Every word of this story will pull you in something fierce, and the more you get with these two, the more you will need more. Meredith Wild makes this world, these characters, and their story addicting to say the least, and she will have you beyond ready to see what will unfold in this new world and series. This world in this book and series is darker, its grittier and more complicated, yet there is a tangible and palpable fire that will pull your mind and heart into every breathtaking word. From start to finish this book will have you on the edge of your seat ready to see where that next turn of the page will bring you, and trust me when I say that you will be so enraptured by it all.
The Red Ledger was fantastic. It was a phenomenal, quick, utterly suspenseful and fiery read that was intense as all get out and one of the most consuming reads I’ve read in such a long time. I loved getting every word of Isabel and Tristan’s story, and I can’t wait to see where those next chapters will take them both. Through every twist and turn, every action packed moment, and through every ounce of connection she created between these two characters, Meredith Wild created such an unforgettable read that I loved with all that I had!
The Red Ledger is a book that will have you so in it all ready for more, and that is just part of what makes it such an incredible read.
Wow this story had me from the first chapter, suspense,intrigue,romance and a storyline you know is gonna keep pulling you in! Meredith Wild new series is starting with a bang!!
I was hooked from the beginning! I could not stop reading, but I find that is the case with any Meredith Wild book that I read.
There are so many layers to Tristan and Isabel. They are such fascinating characters and there is still so much mystery surrounding them and their history together.
I love how Isabel could never forget Tristan and even though Tristan doesn’t remember much from his past he still feels a connection with Isabel.
This book is sexy, it is suspenseful, it is addicting, it is everything you could want in a book! This is just part 1 of 6 and I can’t wait to continue on this wild ride with Tristan and Isabel!
First time ever reading a suspense, but am a huge supporter of Meredith Wild and her books. Was an absolutely amazing story from start to finish! Such an easy book to fly through because it’s just “that great”. Great characters that you can’t help but fall in love with and cheer on from the sidelines! A must read!
My first read from Meredith Wild and i know for sure this serie is gonna be IT!
Right from the first chapter, Miss Wild already punch me straight in the gut!
Tristan and Isabel story is an unfinished story. A childhood sweetheart, a romeo and juliet story go dark.
Something happened to Tristan that make him what he is today. A Jason Bourne on a mission. and Isabel holds the key not only to his past. But something bigger.
I can’t wait to see what happened next in this series.
Isabel Foster and Tristan “Red” Stone were undeniably electrifying together. There is history that, Isabel won’t forget, and Tristan can’t remember. This book was hot, steamy and mysterious. It was a major page turner. The Red Ledger Series is going to be a must read by all. Meredith Wild, literally blew me away with this book. I’m now anxiously awaiting part 2.
I haven’t been this enthralled or intrigued since…. the last time I read a Meredith Wild Novel. With Isabel and Tristan, prepare yourself to be utterly captivated from the every first moment. Isabel is trying to finally find that elusive peace that has evaded her since Tristan Stone’s Dear John broke her heart 6 years ago. She thought that finding a little adventure in the colorful happenings of Rio would be just the ticket, but while she loves teaching her class, she still feels like a shadow going through the motions. Isabel has no idea that while she is just trying to gleam out an existence, there are others that have much less pleasant plans in store for her. Tristan’s mind has been basically a blank slate since waking from his coma 3 years ago. Awaking with no idea of oneself, what to do, or where to go was quickly answered by Jay – it’s most likely a blessing in disguise you don’t remember yourself, now you will take your skill set and put it to a very specific use, and Rio. That’s how he finds himself all these later with his target Isabel Foster, a woman that for some unearthly reason seems to jog his memory but for the life of him he cannot figure out why. There’s truth to the adage that you can only run so far from past before it catches up with you and Tristan is finding that out in spades. He’s got red in his ledger and someone’s going to be responsible for the debt owed.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy.
Meredith Wild doesn’t disappoint – the push and pull between Isabel and Tristan is a tangible thing, and it holds fierce. Isabel, with her damaged soul from when Tristan left for the military, really pulled at my heart strings. And when she finds him on the street in Rio, she almost couldn’t believe it! The jaw dropping part? The reason he was there! I cannot wait to read the next installment!
All I can say is Wow Meredith you did it again. Five big stars with this one!!
I could not put this one down it is romantic, heart brake mystery and suspense all in one. Isabel and Tristan’s story have so many twist and turns. There are surprises that Tristan brings into Isabel’s life. This book will keep you wanting more.
Part one of the series leaves us in suspense Isabel trying to move on with life after the biggest heart brake of her life. Tristan has lost his memory from the past three years. These two have been through a lot. I love their story so far and can’t wait for the rest of it. Meredith never disappoints her books are worth the wait!
OMG!!! A sexy suspense romance like no other I have read. Ashley @ White Hot Reads.
I read this book in one day and could not go to bed until it was finished. This love story is not one you would have guessed. Tristen the tall dark and handsome hitman for hire who’s target with one word stopped him in his tracks. Isabel is a strong determined woman. These two draw you into their second chance romance and leave you with more questions than you have answers. This was my first Meredith Wild book and I can not wait to read the next one!
The Red Ledger by Meredith Wild is suspenseful, it is truly a phenomenal book.

When they are thrown together unexpectedly things start getting heated up, Will these two be able to help each other out conquer their past and move forward?
The Red Ledger is action-packed and addictive. Nothing can compare to Meredith and her books. It was a page turner from the beginning to the end, I can not wait to read part 2 and 3.
I absolutely love Meredith Wild since her Hacker series and I honestly could not get enough of the first book in the Red Ledger series. I thought Tristan and Isabel were sexy, mysterious and their attraction and connection was palpable!!

But when her former lover, Tristan Stone, reappears she realizes the man she knew is no longer the assassin in front of her. With the enemy on their trail, will Isabel be able to help unlock Tristan’s forgotten memories before it’s too late?
GAHH!! I was hooked on this from the getgo. I absolutely loved the story and seriously felt like I was watching The Bourne Identity right before my eyes. It was fantastic, sexy, mysterious and so addicting. Bring on book two because I am locked are loaded!! Bravo! 4 stars! ~Ratula
