My Review:

I highly recommend this series if like fast-paced military paranormal series with kick-ass supercharged alpha males with a lot of action.

During the prologue we learn that Sterling and Rebecca share an attraction when they first meet in the library where she tutors.  Sterling asks Rebecca out on a date which he never shows up and is never heard of again because he was recruited by the army.  They found out he is hacker and he lives with his grandma in a trailer and they promise to take care of her if he joins which he agrees.

Fourteen years later Sterling's boss Caleb the leader of the Renegades assigns him to ask Rebecca to help with their cause and to keep her safe from the Adam Rains the leader of the Zodius.

Rebecca has lung cancer and she has just come back from Germany to her home in Houston.  Waiting for her there is Sterling and he explains about the differences between a Renegade and a Zodius and why his Special Force teams needs her help to find a cure for ICE (the new secret weapon of the Zodius).  Then suddenly they are attacked and he is handing Rebecca to his teammate Damion who then proceeds to hand her to their enemy Tad.  He follows them but passes out and when he wakes up he finds out that Adam forced Rebecca to take ICE to save his life.  Adam has a proposition for Sterling that if he gets Rebecca to help their cause he would keep his men especially Tad away from Rebecca which Sterling agrees too.

They both escape and rejoin his fellow Renegades but Sterling doesn't trust Damion and believes he's a traitor!  But is Damion a traitor or not?  You will have to read to find out!

Rebecca is a strong, smart and independent young women who enjoys her job as a NASA astrobiologist.  At first she thinks Sterling is working for Adam and doesn't trust him but really wants too.  She comes from a loving home until they are taken away from her.

Sterling's family was stolen away from him and he has always thought that he didn't need anyone in his life until Rebecca gave back into his life.  The internal struggle he was going through was well written and believable.  Sterling is a sexy and kick ass alpha male to the T.

When Sterling and Rebecca finally give into their desires man were the pages burning and even when they were only kissing it was hot and sizzling.

4/5
