Rebecca Yarros is one of the very few authors I have on my "buy everything they write" list. Her books have fabulous characters, heart wrenching storylines, and some of the best love stories I've read.

Wilder, the first book in The Renegades series, is an awesome book. I loved it from start to finish! There is so much to love, the setting (I would have been first to sign up for the Study at Sea program), the romance that is both sweet and hot with the forbidden love aspect, a storyline that has bit of mystery, a twist I didn't see coming and a happy ending.

This is the first book in The Renegades series by Rebecca Yarros. You are going to fall in love with these bad boys, the renegades. Rebecca Yarros will have you fanning yourself with this story, so hang on.

Leah has been offered the chance of a lifetime. She has been asked to go on a cruise that offers a University on board. Not only is this a great opportunity, but she is offered it as a free ride if she will tutor one of the fellow students. Leah and her friend know that they would be crazy not to take this opportunity, so they decide to go for it. Everything is good for the girls, except Leah's friend gets sick and can't go, will Leah still go?

Leah does decide to go ahead and go on the cruise. She never imagined she would meet someone that could sweep her off her feet, but guess what? She does and that guy is WIlder. WIlder is the person Leah was teamed up with to tutor. These two are far from the same make-up with Wilder being a crazy, try anything type of person and Leah being more of a reserved, quiet person.

Leah has had a rough time and has overcome some huge obstacles in her past. Although Leah still has some issues that she deals with, she is such a strong person to be able to do all that she does still. Wilder is able to help Leah deal with some of these issues when she finally opens up and trusts him. THe relationship between these two just continues to blossom as we learn more and more about them and I fell more and more in love with them as we do.

This is such a great read. You will not regret picking this one up for sure. Rebecca Yarros will keep you turning the pages from beginning to end and fanning yourself with Wilder's hotness. Great job Yarros!

Okay the next time I put off reading a Rebecca Yarros book you all have permission to slap me upside the head. This book was everything I was hoping it would be and so much more. Once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down. I was instantly captivated by this world that she created and I can't wait to read more. I LOVED everything about this book, the characters, the stunts, the swoony romance, I just couldn't get enough.

Guys Wilder is the stuff that makes a book boyfriend. He was so sweet and sexy and SO. DAMN. SWOONY! Seriously. The chemistry between him and Leah was off the charts and I LOVED the way he was with her. 

Seriously, if you haven't read this book yet GET A COPY NOW because it's good. So freaking good and I wants more and I want it now!

Rebecca Yarros kicks off her new series The Renegades with Wilder. I loved the setting and set up we get in this new series. X Games athletes, college on a cruise ship, exotic locales, and daredevil stunts. Add in the hot, sexy, tattooed Paxton Wilder, his tutor Leah Baxter, and the instant attraction, all things to have you turning the pages. A couple of unexpected twists kept me hooked and unable to put down the book until I finished the last page.

Time and again Yarros successfully delivers a cast of characters that will have you wanting and needing to read the next book in the series. This continues with The Renegades. I'm anxiously awaiting Nova's story.

When it comes to New Adult, Rebecca Yarros is at the top of her class. Her new Renegade Seriespurestdelightaward is starting off with some wild and insane stunts, people and places. It’s written with a touch of class, a touch of sass, a little bit of mystery and a whole lot of love.
Leah and Paxton are extreme opposites. She’s afraid of heights. He can’t get enough of extreme sports and stunts. The higher and more extreme the better. From Zip Lining to Sky Diving … from High Dives to Parasailing, Pax will push the extremes until there is nothing left. But, when things start to happen, when Leah gets hurt, when stunts start to go wrong, Paxton stops and reevaluates his feelings, his reason for filming the movie, and has to figure out who and why someone would be sabotaging the stunts. There is more to him than meets the eyes and Leah sees right through him. But, if she knew the real reason why she was chosen as his tutor, why he was really doing the movie, would she understand or would she leave?
Leah knows there is so much more to Paxton than what the world and You Tube shows of him. She has a past that she refuses to relive. She has a best friend that she would do anything for, including going on this cruise, alone, until she can join her. She doesn’t expect her student to be Paxton, she doesn’t expect to be the center of his attention, she doesn’t expect him to be romantic, loving, kind or smart. She got a rude awakening with their meeting and with what he was keeping from her. But, as things start falling apart for him, as the triple-flip stunt on live TV gets closer, she can’t help but wonder who would really want to hurt him and why. A chance encounter and everything falls into place for her. But, will she be too late to stop him from getting killed or injured? Does she love him enough to forgive him for his deceit? Does she believe him when he says “I love you”?
Wilder was a wild ride. Paxton Wilder can Zip Line into my life whenever he wants to. The romance between Leah and Paxton was sweet and exciting. He totally surprised me with how romantic he could really be. Leah had her problems and was starting to get me disgusted but, when she puts her mind to something and commits to someone, she goes all-in. I was really impressed with her descriptions of the different locales in the story. Rebecca Yarros brought them all to life and had you feeling like you were right there with them. I was also impressed with her reenactments of the extreme stunts and how they were pulled off. I really enjoyed Wilder and am looking forward to the upcoming books in the series. Rachel and Landon’s story should be really interesting.

Wow this was fast paced,adventurous,captivating and extreme.It's the first in the new series and I'm more eager for the rest in the series!
The reason I give it 4 stars is because it was too long in my opinion and there were moments I find myself feeling a bit bored .

Not sure I can do this book justice with this review but if you've ever read a book by Rebecca Yarros before than you know what I mean, especially if you've read this one. She did such an amazing job creating a great cast of characters for this series and a story line that will have you falling in love. I was feeling in a funk with life and not finding a book that was getting me hooked but this book managed to do just that. I shouldn't be surprised considering Rebecca has the talent to do just that but seriously this is one you don't want to miss. 

Both of these characters have been affected by tragic events in their pasts that have shaped who they are today. One more possibly than the other but really both enough to cause them to look at life differently. Not only that one has a great example of what love can be like and the other didn't so is more closed off. This romance isn't going to be an easy one and finding their happy ending may be an uphill battle. 

Not only do they have to fight through that but someone is out to hurt people and are putting the team member's and Leah's life in jeopardy. Also one has a secret that could seriously impact the way their relationship could end up.

I highly recommend this book!!! You will absolutely LOVE it.
