I loved Lily's character. She has a terrible secret that has her home, hiding essentially. When she refuses protection from the case she is a part of, she is unknowing sent a protector - Levi- who is working at her cousin's ranch. of course the story has a moving violation, falling in a relationship with your charge, but Levi can't resist the small town school teacher with a tough exterior.

The backstory of Lily's past, the one causing her to hide out from her threat, is dark and sad. Levi can't help break the rules when her vulnerability and charm and the romance between these two is passionate and hot.

When danger rears it's ugly head, Levi is thankful he is around, close and will do whatever it takes to keep Lily protected, even if it means she comes before his job.

This was a great read, mystery and suspense added to the romance made it even more interesting. Great series!

Her Renegade Cowboy is the second book I have read in this series and is a really great story. Lily is a school teacher, holding a secret that she has shared with few. Levi is an undercover Marshall sent to protect Lily. I really liked Lily's story and could totally understand why she didn't want to share her horror story with many. I also think it makes total sense that she not share it with Levi since their relationship was so new. (Of course, Levi knows, but Lily doesn't know he knows.) One thing I did not like, was that once he was thinking he was in love with Lily, he should have told her who/what he was. I know, it is the angst that has to happen to make the story more interesting, but it was frustrating to me. I kept thinking, tell her now, tell her now. His reasons for not telling were purely selfish. It was the only thing about Levi that I didn't like. That said, it was still an extremely satisfying read and I give it 4.5 stars rounded to 5. Thanks NetGalley for an advanced copy for an honest review!

This wonderful story was well-written with characters that were so well defined that as the pages were turned Lily and Levi kept me totally engaged until the very last page!

A fast paced, quick steamy read that keeps you wanting to turn the pages. Lora makes a fantasic case for keeping a lawman around.

Lily is a school teacher, who has been traumatized by a sadistic rapist. Levi is a ranger, working on her cousins ranch and sparks fly. Both read signals, and need to work towards trust. Would recommend, although the creepy Graham was hard to read about. Besides that though, enjoyed this one.

Her Renegade Cowboy is the third book in the Moving Violations series and follows the story of Lily and Levi. Lily is a small town school teacher with a tough exterior due to previous life events. When she meets Levi, the new cowboy helping working at her cousin's ranch, their attraction quickly challenges all of the walls she has built up around herself. When her past re-enters the picture, their newly formed relationship is challenged in more ways than one.

This is the first book I have read in the Moving Violations series and let me start out by saying oh my, someone bring me a fan. The romance between Lily and Levi is full of passion, and it is very prevalent throughout the entire book. I liked the author's writing style and found the book to flow well without many slow sections to the story. The twist of Levi's undercover life added a good level to the story, and I enjoyed the suspenseful parts of the book as well. Her Renegade Cowboy was one wild ride, and I am looking forward to reading the previous books in the series.

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.

Complementary copy provided by NetGalley for honest review and opinion. Lora Leigh is by far one of my favorite! This series gives me life! It is a must read for any romance buff that loves a romance with alpha men and sassy women!

This book’s focus on the passion between Lily Donovan and Levi Roberts was almost a little too much of a focus of the book for me. The suspense of trying to find the escaped convict who was after Lily was exciting and was a good complement to the sensuality in this book.

I liked Her Renegade Cowboy, but I thought that there was something missing in it that the previous book in this series had, kind of like a sense of urgency and intensity. Lily did seem like a TSTL heroine, which made for a sometimes frustrating read. I liked Levi, though I didn't love him. Everything was... fine with this book. Seemed very run-of-the-mill. I had higher hopes for it. 3.5 stars.

Her Renegade Cowboy by Lora Leigh is the third book in her Moving Violations series. While I'm sorry to see the series end I really loved this one the best. This is Lily and Levi's story who meet at her cousin's ranch when she comments on how "Well his Wrangler's fit" him. But she doesn't know that he's a US Marshall assigned to protect her from a former boyfriend who's escaped from prison. But keeping a secret from her might be harder than he will ever know.

Lily has come home after her former boyfriend turned into a stalker who tried to kill her she loves her teaching job and her girlfriends Friday night out. But when she finds out that the man has escaped from prison Levi offers to protect her even though he can't tell her he's a US Marshall. It will be a wild ride to fight the feeling that soon grow between Lily and Levi all while evading the boyfriend.

I think I missed a lot of the backstory of this novel because I haven’t read the first in the series. That meant I felt like I was missing some major plot points. I didn’t think the characters were fleshed out enough for me to really sink into it, but it had some good tension. 3 stars.

Her Renegade Cowboy was a great addition to the Moving Violations series. Lily and Levi’s story is as action packed, suspense driven and steamy as the previous books. Right from the start you can see these two feel the attraction to one another, but Lily was not willing to act on their attraction. Besides knowing dating anyone local never ends well, she had bigger issues weighing on her mind, she just found out that the man who attacked her and she helped send to prison had escaped. So starting a relationship with her cousin’s new ranch hand was just not the best idea. Levi was in a different mindset, he needed to keep close to her. What started out as a professional reason, the chemistry between them became undeniable and real feelings started to develop. Unfortunately when secrets are revealed, this definitely puts a kink in their relationship. But when danger closes in on Lily, Levi is not willing to let her go and puts out all the stops to save her.

Overall I really enjoyed Lily and Levi’s story. While I questioned some of the decisions made by both of them, I was so invested in both of them I was rooting for their happily ever after.

I received this ARC for an honest review. This story is about Levi and Lily. Levi is an hired ranch hand on Lily’s cousin ranch. Of course they are drawn to each other from across the field. Levi made it his mission to get to know Lily. Lily has a scary past where she was hurt physically and scared of men. She keeps pushing men away and Levi is stubborn enough to keep trying.
For me, it was an ok story.

Her Renegade Cowboy
Lily and Levi
Lora Leigh
Lily is being stalked by a criminal she helped put in jail. A criminal who has escaped. The US Marshal service wants to put her in protective custody but she refuses. They send in Levi undercover. Things heat up between them but neither comes clean with the other until things start to blow apart. Will Levi be able to save Lillie... and save their love?
Once again we get to read about a Lora Leigh spunky and sexy main character and her strong but in love hero. The story has some suspense that explodes into action: it’s a heart pumping exciting ending. For me the suspense doesn’t overwhelm, it just adds intensity to the love story. I would recommend this book to my patrons.

I really liked Levi, even when his not so little white lie blew up in his face because he really did start out with the best intentions. He planned for a lot of contingencies, except emotional attachment to the witness.

Then there’s Lily, who took me a good while to really warm up to. She was sheer stubbornness and then some, causing a headache of frustration at times. She did come around, but good gravy she was cutting things close!

High on suspense and a lot of hubba hubba ;) Her Renegade Cowboy turned out to be a snappy number. The romance packed heat, the extra characters were supportive and fun, and the villain, cold, creepy ick factor achieved.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley/St. Martin’s press. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Moving Violations - Book #3
Dirty talking cowboy meets up with sexy teacher in need of protection.
This is what Lora Leigh does best. Although, a little predictable, it was still enjoyable.

Her Renegade Cowboy is fantastic book. This story has it all, sexy steamy scenes, drama, suspense, and humor. It kept me engaged from the first page to the last. I couldn't put it down. I absolutely loved it. The two main characters, Lily and Levi are both strong characters. This book is part of a series however you can read it as a stand alone. I would recommend this book.

I received advance copy from NetGalley for my honest opinion.

Overall I liked this book, however, I thought it would have been better if there had been more action. I did like Levi and I hope she writes a book on Justice.

This was a good read. It was a suspenseful story that kept me engaged until the end. Though it is part of a series you do not need to read the other ones.
