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.

What an incredible start to a new series! This book is full of suspense, intrigue, twists, and turns. I hated having to read a little at a time due to real life demanding my time. I can’t wait to read the rest of this incredible series. This book was so unbelievably good that you won’t be able to put down!
Great read…
Meredith Wild is a genius! I am always impressed by her work, but Wow! She really outdid herself with this one!! The Red Ledger is one hell of a story! Meredith takes you on an adventure you never knew you needed. I found myself extremely invested in Tristan and Isabel’s story and was on the edge of my seat with the turn of each page. This is without a doubt going to be Meredith’s best series. She put her blood, sweat and tears into each word and it shows!
Seeking refuge from a family that doesn’t understand her; Isabel has made Rio de Janeiro, Brazil her home, teaching English to the youth of the poor country. She never in a million years expected to see her one and only true love, the man who left her heart-broken and devastated, to turn up and turn her life upside down. If she thought it was a surprise to see him, she would be shocked to find out why he was there in the first place.
Tristan, a body for hire, knows one thing. Accomplish the task hired for and move on. There was something different this time, this kill. His mark was a young American, living in Rio de Janeiro, teaching English to the youth in the small community. He kept a watchful eye on her for nearly a week, sensing something familiar in this woman.
What Tristan didn’t expect was to be greeted with the one word from her lips that would change everything, his name; a name that had a past that he himself did not remember. Maybe Isabel was the key to unlocking his memories. Still he had a job to do. Take out his mark or he would be the next one dead.
With his job on the line and Isabel’s life at stake, could the two join forces to both live to see another day? That was what I kept questioning throughout this gripping novel. I was hooked from the first page. My mind was engrossed in a city I had never been, yet it felt familiar. I could not let this high voltage connection between Isabel and Tristan out of my grip. I was only more and more invested as the story continued.
I have so many more questions that have yet to be answered. I think to help keep myself sane, I might just have to have another go at this engrossing book while I wait for the next book in this heart-pounding series to release.
Wow! Such a great start to a hot series! So different than anything Meredith Wild has written before and I’m hooked! I like this idea of a 6 part novella series with only a short time between installments. Try this out! You’ll love Tristan and Isabel!! Can’t wait for more!
This was a fast, gripping and exciting read by Meredith that reminded me very much of a Jason Bourne type movie, it certainly played out in my head like it!!
Isabel has never forgotten her first love Tristan, or moved on with her life without him, try as she might. He joined the military and they lost touch.
Tristan has massive gaps in his memory, he’s very reluctant to do what he’s supposed to do as something about her tugs his memory, she stops him dead when she says his name, now he must protect her if he has any chance of getting those memories back.
I was hooked in the first few pages!! I loved the characters and their relationship and how it builds, with the plot being full of twists and turns, it has you on the edge of your seat. A thrilling romantic suspense story at its best, I can’t wait to read book 2.

OUTSTANDING MEREDITH WILD YOU HIT THIS ONE OUT OF THIS WORLD!
I have to say, The Red Ledger just might be my favorite Meredith Wild series yet. And we only have the first book.
Wild has packed a little of everything in to the first of this promising new series, trills, mystery, suspense, and a hint of romance. A romance that actually sets the stage for the series. Not much is known about Tristan, by us or for himself, for that matter. He’s very Jason Bourne-esque with a Wild twist. To Isabel, he is the one that got away. The one that would forever hold her heart. And the one that can take her life if only he didn’t need her so much.
We only begin to scratch the surface of what is sure to be an action packed ride for these two. It’s a fairly quick read, but one that you must pay attention to every detail. There’s a lot of story in there. It’s a definite must read for those who like their suspense with a little spice.
From Go this book sucked me in and didn’t let go!!! What a ride!! Isabel and Tristan have a story that hooks you, leaves you Breathless and wanting for more. I couldn’t love this book anymore. I mean, I could, if I had part 2, 3 etc… I can’t wait for more of this story. It’s different from what I thought it was going to be and in the best way possible. Had the mystery, suspense, action with romance that tied it all together in a lively and lovely Red Ledger bow. My new favorite series that I will be chomping at the bit to get my hands on!!! Tristan…Tristan…Tristan
Do you love suspense? Do you love romance? Then why not read a book that has both?
This book had me hooked from the beginning!! It’s very hard for me to find a book that I absolutely can not put down until I am finished with it but this book is the one that did it. I had to finish it, had to know what happened.
Tristan and Isabel will have you tangled up with them in this whirl wind connection of love, heartache, fear, danger and uncertainty.
It truly is a work of art how meredith wild can paint this places and people in your mind with just her words. You really will enjoy this book.
Happy reading!
“Living with darkness might not be a life worth living, but it was vastly simpler. Nothing is simple now.”
I was glued to the pages while reading Red Ledger Part 1. We get a fast paced, suspenseful romance that is lost in memories. I simply could not put this book down until I finished it. Isabel moves to Rio in order to heal herself and move on from her pain. Even though she is utterly broken she is strong, brave and independent…and she also happens to be marked for death…the last thing she expected was to run into him. Tristan fascinated me from the beginning. He is a man without a heart who doesn’t do feelings or friendships. He has one sole purpose in life and that is to kill. However, when it comes to Isabel he finds himself intrigued and very unsettled. I cannot wait to find out what will come next in this series.

Isabel Foster is living in Brazil, trying to move on from losing the love of her life. Tristan left her to join the Army and months after sent her a letter saying they were over. She is trying to move on but is not really succeeding.
Tristan is a killer for hire, he has no memory of his past, but that may change when he is faced with his next kill. He has a feeling he should know her, will that be enough to keep him from pulling the trigger? I can’t wait for part 2
WOW! This book was phenomenal. Meredith Wild has done it again. The story and the writing were both flawless and impeccable. I could not put this one down.
Isabel has never gotten over her one true love.. She has tried for years to move on, but she just cannot seem to heal all that was broken when she lost Tristan. Through many twists, turns and surprises he is brought back into her life….
What if you could not remember your old life? What if your job was to just execute and thrive on your own survival.. That is the life Tristan Red is used to… He has had no issues until he goes to his next job…Isabel How does she know his name? His simple life is suddenly very complicated. Your adrenaline will be pumping as you read this book. I did not know what to expect page after page. TRUST ME you need this book in your life. This is some of Meredith Wild’s best work to date. I cannot wait to continue this story!
Omg!! This is the first book of the Red Ledger series and Wow what a perfect start. I have been waiting for this book and when I got it I dropped everything to read it. I have read other books from this talented author and she never disappoints. This book exceeded all my expectations. I couldn’t put this book down. I devoured this incredible read in only one sitting.

This book is phenomenal. The storyline has it all romance, mystery, and suspense. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Isabel is a beautiful woman that has a heart of gold. She is still broken from her past with Tristan. Tristan is gorgeous but also very cold. He is the perfect alpha male. The way he cares for Isabel will make you swoon. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This amazing author will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The ending will make you want more. This is the perfect beginning to an epic series.

Great start of a new series. Filled with suspense, twists and turns and a connection filled with heat. A quick, gripping read full of mystery with an ending that’ll leave you begging for more. I highly recommend this book.
I am addicted to this story. My heart is invested in these two characters, who have so much against them.
They’re both intricately woven with Meredith’s words and detail that you can’t help but fall. A perfectly written book that twisted my heart. Such an amazing story from a masterful mind.
Meredith Wild has been a favorite author of mine for some me time. The Red Ledger definitely intrigued me. Tristan and Isabel’s story was well written and full of emotional discord. I can’t wait for part 2.
Well, I’m not sure what to say but WOW! The beginning of this book started with a bang (well, almost) and the pace kept on going. So many questions for both Tristan and Isabel with many twists and turns ahead of them, I’m sure. Sometimes, I just want to read the whole story all at once but there is something to be said for having to wait on pins and needles for the next installment. It’s kind of like Christmas morning with the anticipation of presents. I’m anxiously waiting for the next installment to see what questions regarding Tristan’s past comes to light and where Tristan and Isabel’s relationship land.
The Red Ledger: Part One by Meredith Wild was a great book. Tristan Red is a hired assassin and always makes sure to keep emotions out of everything. Tristan has lost all memories from a military mission gone wrong. The worst part is that the key to his memories also happens to be his next mark. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
Suspense, mystery, intrigue, sexy moments…The Red Ledger Part 1 has it all. This was a fantastic start to a new series by Meredith Wild. I loved everything about this. Meredith does a fantastic job of immediately drawing you into the story, rest assured you will devour this in one sitting. Part 1 is not long, but it packs a punch that will have you anxious for more.
Tristan is living a solitary life, but doesn’t question how he’s in this profession until Isabel enters his life. She’s another job for him, yet something seems familiar about her. The way Meredith slowly unravels the mystery connection between these two is so engaging and exciting. I love a well told story that has heat and suspense intertwined. This is going to be a slowwww burn that will be worth the journey. It’s exciting to anticipate what will happen next for Tristan and Isabel.
I don’t want to give to much away, this is one of those stories you must read and embrace every moment. This is magnificent work by Meredith! She has indicated this will be like The Hacker Series, which is one of my favorites of all time, so I know I’m in for the ride of my life. I’m really excited for the rest of this series. I highly recommend taking a chance on Tristan Red, it might be a matter of life or death but worth every precious moment!
