Ricochet couldn’t have been more
surprised when the woman his team was sent in to rescue is
able to get the drop on him and take his gun. Even though
his team members seem to find humor in the situation he
knows that can only mean one thing...trouble. Trouble that
is emphasized by the actions of said beauty when she shows
up at the W&S training facility headstrong and dangerous.
The daughter of a mother brutally murdered by a white
supremacist, Rogue now spends her life hunting down the
killer and exposing others like him. A lone entity, Ricochet
knows it’s only a matter of time before she gets herself or
someone else killed because of her
shoot-first-think-of-the-consequences later attitude.
Rogue’s only hope of remaining alive
after finding the man who is guilty of her mother’s murder
is to be trained by the best, which is why she followed the
team responsible for saving her life back to their training
camp. She hopes to learn as much as she can while there—and
maybe have a little fun at the same time. Ricochet is dead
set against Rogue coming into their program. His trainees
are his top priority and he knows Rogue is not a team
player. Even if he is willing to tangle with her in the
bedroom she isn’t someone he would trust to have his back
when it counts.
In another compelling addition to the
Agents of Mercy series we’re finally able to get a deeper
perspective of Carl “Ricochet” Underwood, the silent but
deadly sniper who rounds out the team of operatives lead by
Black Smoke. In Ricochet’s Rogue a new
assignment brings with it a wild card by the name of Rogue.
A hotheaded loner who has gotten herself captured by the
militia she’s trying to expose. All the players come
together again with the addition of some new faces that
instead of being absorbed by the initial team are able to
stand out and make a good book great. Ricochet is a little
rough around the edges in how he deals with Rogue but
considering her lack of care for others at times it’s
understandable if not painful to watch.
Robin Leigh Miller created a couple whose opposing
personalities made for a passionate and volatile mix. What I
loved about Ricochet’s Rogue is how Rogue
didn’t just immediately blend into the team, she had to work
for it, learn from her mistakes and grow as a person
something I think she’d lost track of her quest for
vengeance. I also was thrilled at the continuation of the
entire team’s story, I love how Kong, Sam aka Black Smoke
and Boomer are there even if not the focus but enough to
feel as if I’m growing and living right along with them,
experiencing their challenges and their successes. I can’t
wait to see if Ms. Miller plans on continuing this series,
maybe a story for Uncle Walt? Or even better Gunner or
Dragon who I would love to see more of in the future. |
