I admit it, I somehow decided to read this book without fully comprehending the whole "time travel" aspect. Needless to say when Detective Trace Sheridan escapes the mob by landing in the 1800's I was surprised at the "twist". Don't get me wrong, I was not disturbed by what was an unexpected to me twist, but pretty clearly described in the book blurb. I managed to bleep right past it because the story got better, more engaging, from that point forward. I really enjoyed this story and especially

Not sure what kind of stars to give this. Three seems generous, but I liked it better than two. The writing is cringe worthy, but I found myself liking it. I think this had the potential to be a really good book but just failed in the execution. I liked the premise, I thought she did a good job with the dialog and the action scenes. The back story info dumps were atrocious, the telling and not showing appalling. Trace was very difficult to like in the beginning because she was just an idiot with

Did you ever get to a point in your life where you wish you could start over? Trace Sheridan, a dirty cop of the 21st century, gets that opportunity when she is somehow dropped into the late 19th century.

There was nothing to really like about Renegade. Characters which are inconsistent - of which Trace is the pinnacle - stereotypical and one-dimensional; paper-thin plot - with an overuse of deus ex machina, of which the Pawnees are the main example; and, something that irritated me terribly which was the permanent explanations to what was going on, sometimes by more than one character (!), as if the reader was mentally challenged and unable to understand what was going on in the story.
A good old fashioned Western - well, if you take a 20th century detective with questionable morals and dump her into the Old West. Getting Trace there requires a bit of a suspension of disbelief, but if you do suspend your disbelief, Trace and Rachel's trials, tribulations and romance make it worthwhile. Lots of humour, frontier justice and a nicely paced romance.

I just loved this novel!! In spite of, or maybe because of, the couple the story is about SO reminds me of my absolutely FAVOURITE couple. (X&G, of course!) But this story is so much more than just a romance,and a bit of time travelling - it's about the Wild, Wild West, and it's so well written, detailed, funny . . .I just loved it!!
