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.
