What do you mean you’ve never heard of Renegade? They are only the biggest boy band in the world!

Beau Kennedy

At twenty-three, I never thought that I would be where I am today. I live in a world of chaos, screaming fans, and temptations everywhere. There is only one thing that I truly want, but she’s constantly rejecting me. She thinks I’m too young and too immature; however, I will prove her wrong. I will show her that I can be everything she needs and wants in a man. If she will just give me a chance, I can show her how much she means to me. She has no idea how determined I can be or how hard I will fight to make her mine.

Lizette Parrish

I’m presented with an offer that is just too good to refuse. Beau Kennedy wants one month. One month of being his girlfriend so that he can prove to me that he can be what I need. If at the end of the month, I don’t feel like he is the right guy for me, then we end things, and he will never ask me out again. One month? I can do that, especially if it means he will leave me alone when it’s over. What I didn’t expect, though, is all of the things that he brought to the table and all of the things that we end up going through during our month together, inevitably brings us closer together.

Can I still leave him when the month is up? My mind says yes, but I’m not so sure my heart agrees.

Warning: For mature audiences only. Contains seriously hot sex scenes that will leave you wanting to fulfill your very own boy band fantasy. Please keep in mind that this is a work of fiction and I made it up from my own imagination.

1 FRUSTRATING STAR

What's it about?

So this book is about Beau, who is part of a famous boy band and he has been crushing on his manager for the past five years. Lizette doesn't take him asking her out constantly seriously, even though she does think he is cute. Her reasons being that she doesn't want to date a client and because she is seven years older than him.

Beau knows that Lizette is the woman for him and decides to pursue her more seriously. He proposes a month of being his "girlfriend." After that month Lizette can decide if she still want to be with him, and if not then he will never harass her about going on a date with him ever again. He is sure he can make her fall in love with him in that month and Lizette is sure she will be walking away at the end.

My thoughts w/ spoilers:

- The only reason I picked this up was because Beau is a virgin. And because other reviews talked about him being the perfect book boyfriend.

- Lizette's ice queen routine was annoying me to no end in the beginning. Beau was nothing but a sweetheart to her and she kept turning him down!

- And I couldn't even enjoy their relationship when they started dating for the month because I was just waiting for Lizette to fuck it up.

- And of course she does fuck it up! Her reasoning for walking away after the month was so ridiculous! She broke up with him because she has alcoholic parents and her brother has PTSD. So, she's too "fucked up" for him and he deserves better. Just shut the fuck up, Lizette.

- Beau then goes all emo on us! Lol, it was way OTT. He pulls a Justin Bieber post-Selena Gomez on us as well. Partying hardcore and going home with chicks left and right. Ugh I hated what he turned into. He was such a sweetheart then he turns into the typical "bad-boy manwhore." Of course, when confronted later he admits to not sleeping with any of them, just blowjobs and handjobs were involved. Like that's any better?

- At this point Lizette is feeling very regretful and is trying to win him back when she walks in on him receiving a blowjob from a groupie! Ugh. I mean she pretty much brought this on herself but if I was trying to win a guy back and I walked in on that then I probably wouldn't want him back anymore. How can you ever erase that from your memory?

Overall, a very frustrating read.

Awesome virgin H and bitchy hateful h. The H's POV sounded a bit girly at times, but he was so sweet and vulnerable wearing his heart on his sleeve, I loved him!

Separation after h dumps H: H is broken-hearted, goes crazy gets on drugs and with groupies but doesn't go all the way - I don't even blame him!! Definitely a book where I wanted the H to get another h.

3.5 stars for awesome H and hot smex scenes!

3,5 - 4 stars
Μια ανάλαφρη, διασκεδαστική, καυτή ιστορία με έναν αξιολάτρευτο κεντρικό ήρωα (από τους πιο γλυκούς ever πραγματικά) και μιαν ηρωίδα-παγοκολόνα που προσπαθεί να χειραγωγήσει τα συναίσθήματά της. Εν τέλει τα κατάφεραν. Πέρασα υπέροχα. Το πρώτο μισό μου άρεσε περισσότερο από το δεύτερο, όπου ένιωσα ότι κάτι έλειπε. Το βιβλίο αν και διαφορετικής θεματολογίας θίγει διάφορα κοινωνικά θέματα που μπορούν να τραβήξουν την προσοχή σου. Οκ τα αναλύει επιδερμικά, δεν είναι άλλωστε σκοπός του να μας αναλύσει τα σύνδρομα των στρατιωτών του Ιράκ κλπ, αλλά παρόλα αυτά σε προβληματίζει. Ναι έχει τις αμήχανες στιγμές του, όπως και κάποιες συμπεριφορές με τις οποίες είμαι αντίθετη, ναι θα μπορούσε να γίνει καλύτερο, αλλά παρόλα αυτά το διασκέδασα... Τα 4 αστέρια για τον υπέροχο Beau. Δεν έχω ξανασυναντήσει τέτοιο πράγμα :)

By golly, she'e done it again! Definitely a 5 star read by Andria Large!

Sweet renegade is the perfect mixture or romance, angst, and steam. Beau is the perfect boyfriend - loving, sensitive, and honorable. There are not too many book boyfriends out there right now with these qualities.

While Lizette pissed me off throughout most of the book, it was only because of how badly I wanted them to get together. Thankfully it was not because of her being a whiny pushover. I can't stand that quality in the h. She is strong willed and stubborn and knows what she wants. At least she thinks she does...unil Beau proves her differently. By the end, I really grew to respect her and her decisions.

I am a huge Beck Brothers fan, and now I will be author stalking for more of the Renegade boys. Who's up next? Can't wait!

Oh, wait...and then there is Dennis. *swoon* I really hope that he gets his own book!

great start to a new series.

this book is one of those really cute couple books that make you all warm and tingly inside. LOL. Sorry that was so cheesy, that sentence I just wrote.


I was a fan of Andria's Beck brothers' series, so I had to read this when it came out.

If you read the other books you should know that you are not going to expect super angst.

I really enjoyed reading about Beau and Izzy. they have great chemistry together.

Despite their 7 year age difference, Izzy being the older one, they really looked past it. It was something that Izzy needed time to get over, but Beau of course had no problem getting over that.

I will definetly continue this series, but need to refresh the memory when the other books are to come out.

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book

Beau is a southern gentleman who is currently part of the hottest boy band around right now, Renegade. The band is all sitting around in a meeting with their manager who has been with them for the last five year Lizette. She is the star of so many fantasies for Beau that he can’t keep his head on straight.

Sweet Renegade is written from the two main characters point of view Beau and Lizette. Beau has spent the last three years asking Lizette out. All he wants is one date to show her how good they can be together. He gets one better though after Lizette had to make a trip down to his mothers ranch to reach him, she realizes that she can’t fight it anymore. When they get back to New York Beau asks her for one month. Just one month to prove that they are perfect.

Now that Beau has everything that he could possibly want he is one cloud nine. What could possibly go wrong? He has the band, his family, and the girl. Good things don’t last forever though, how long will it be before the reality that Beau is living becomes a nightmare?

Rock star romance is usually a story guaranteed to please, and Sweet Renegade was no exception.

Favorite Quote: “I hope you know what you’re doing to me right now, Lizette,” You are ruining me, do you hear me? I’ve never felt a hurt like this and it’s all your fault. You are killing everything inside of me and I will never forgive you for this.”

A hot new series!

Oh my...Andria Large has done it again. She had me falling in love with all of the Beck Brothers and had me smiling throughout the Taboo series and now...I have fallen in love with Beau Kennedy and smiled throughout the entire story. Well, there were a few moments that had me in tears but oh, it was so worth it.

Beau Kennedy is freaking amazing! He truly is the perfect combination of southern cowboy and rocker. He is a loyal and loving and doesn't give up on what he wants and he has wanted Lizette (his manager) for the past five years.

Lizette has been the manager of The Renegades for the past five years. She has been through everything in her life. From sucky relationships to alcoholic parents. This makes her one stubborn cookie. Especially when she has her mind made up, she rarely changes it. Beau Kennedy is her client and has asked her out continuously for the last five years. With each question her answer is always the same...NO!

Yet, one night after a few intimate kisses she agrees to dating him for one month. After that month, she can say goodbye and he will never bother her again. She goes into this with her heart surrounded with walls. Will she be able to keep them up? Will she be able to resist Beau and his southern charm? Will heart break destroy the Renegades?

Andria was able to capture with page one. Truly the character development is phenomenal. I truly fell in love with each character and their personality. The gut wrenching moments had me in tears. When I started this book I couldn't put it down. It had me needing to find out what was going to happen next. I can't say it enough this book is a must buy one click now. You too will fall in love.

I can't wait until book two!
Well done Andria Large well done!

Let me just say I love Andria Large! I can not wait for the rest of this series. Her characters are fun, likeable and sexy as all get out.

This new series by Andria follows the lives of a boy band - Renegade. And in Sweet Renegade we get Beau, the southern boy with charm that oozes. He is also the youngest in the group and he has a serious crush on their much older manager, Lizette. Since Lizette came to work for Renegade, 5 years ago, Beau has been trying to get her go out with him. So he comes up with a plan...have her date him for a month and if she still isn't convinced that they are perfect together, he will let her walk away.

The only problem is that both of them fall head over heels in love with each other...but is it enough?

I loved Lizette and Beau. Beau just made you want to swoon. And Lizette was tough yet soft. I loved all the secondary characters too. The guys in the band, Beau's family, Lizette's brother.

This is an excellent start to the series and can't wait for more!

This was so good! It had me laughing all throughout the book, it's just a happy-go-lucky type book! Even though you know going in hearts will be broken and their will be a touch of drama……its just good And I loved all the characters! Beau was such a cocky guy but not in a bad way, he's one of those types you can't help but love no matter what! Lizette she was just to dang stubborn even for her own good! But at least she learned from her mistakes and tried to make up for them in the end! Overall its a good read and can't wait to read the next one!

Talk about chemistry this is one hot steaming romance that was in 30 days was supposed to tank this is it. Those darn hearts like always just like to get in the way.
We get to meet a whole cast of characters in this fast pace erotic really funny romance. You see Beau Kennedy is one of the members of a boy band The Renegades. They actually made it after the guy who started it along with a few other famous one hit wonders didn’t make it. He along with Roland (28), Dean (26), Ace (26), Everett (24) and him (23) and the youngest they worked hard, for the past ten years.
Thanks in part to their manager Lizette Parrish (30) for the past 5 years. She is a hustler and doesn’t have a life to show for it. She is also the one person in the whole world that Beau has been crushing over for that whole 5 years since the day she started he that she was beautiful. She shoots him down every time he ask her out but it does stop him from trying.
Lizette tells him he is a man-boy always joking around at her meetings, never listening like today’s meeting, that he is always with a different girl/fan and that she knows what he really wants from her. So, to go find another little groupie to fuck because he wouldn’t be getting it from her. He walks away from her moving to the door turns back and says, basically, if that was all he wanted from her he would have given up on asking her out a long time ago.
Before the two weeks really begins Lizette finds out the boys have to cut their vacation short. A promotional tour has been scheduled so Beau only has 4 more days left of his first week but out of the 5 guys he is the only one that they can’t reach. Knowing Beau went to see his family in West Virginia, she has her secretary book a flight to get her there ASAP. This is N.Y. girl who is scared of all things country including sexy as hell Beau is going to West Virginia to tell him.
She drives herself to the ranch once there, meets up with Kaden his younger brother his mini-me (sexy too.) He takes her to find Beau, he comes in from riding looking a little cautious. She lets him know what’s going on turns to leave when his mama, Regina, greets her which she loves. Meanwhile, Beau is still standing there stunned to find her there. She is the mom she always wanted, not what she was dealt. Regina engulfs her in a hug and talks her into staying for lunch which has Lizette changing her flight to tomorrow morning.
That evening she and Beau take a ride after he explains riding safety. Lizette gets thrown from her horse and has to ride with Beau the exchange their first kisses. Man does their world tilt for both of them. This scares Lizette beyond words. When she gets back she scurries to her room. They have another late night encounter in the hallway and get walk-in on.
The next morning she leaves town as fast as she can leaving him with only the view of him in her rearview mirror. Once Beau returns he eventually corners her and gets her to agree to one month of being his girlfriend with at the end her making the decision on whether the remain a couple or not.
This is one sexually and emotionally intense book. Not only do you have the story of Lizette and Beau but you have their dynamic charge and the band members. You also see what some of them feel about this relationship. Also you have this other issue going on with Dennis, Lizette’s brother, who is suffering PTSD. Wow, that alone is one intense event in the storyline.
You will enjoy this fast pace storyline for sure. It is not dull at all that is for sure. I hope the next story of Ace is just as good but I think what made this one so special was that endearing innocence Beau still had and he wasn’t afraid to ask his friends in the band for help. Also, that the age difference between him and Lizette really didn’t matter. Loved it. 5 stars. Provided by author for an honest review.

I was provide a copy of this book the Author for an honest review.

O.M.G. I just finish reading this book, and I have to say that I love it, this book had me laughing it kept me in a happy place, I really did not wanted to finish reading this book, I want more I love the characters and love how the book turn out to be, I found my self a new boy band, oh how I love this book, I am gone keep this short since I don't want to give anything away. I love it how you could get to read from both point of view, and I love getting inside Beau head.

The story begging with Beau he is twenty three years old, he is one of the member of the popular band Sweet renegade, once hi is seating at a meeting all he does is thinking about the woman that is speaking to the group. But he is not paying attention to one word that she is saying, he is thinking a way to get her to say yes, after the meeting is finish he is left alone with Lizette, while Lizette is telling Beau that he needs to pay more attention on the meetings, Beau ask her out but like always Lizette answer is no, for the last couple of years Beau has tried to get with Lizette, but Lizette answer to him is that he is to young for her and that she don't date her clients, Beau has the next two weeks of so he decide to go back home to his mom ranch, do to tour and promotion their vacation is cut short, but no one could get in touch with Beau, that's when Lizette shows up at the ranch, what she did not expected was for her life to change, and for Beau to come up with an offer, now the question is after she accepted can she walk away from him or stay with him.

I really enjoy and love reading this book, I love the way that Beau and Lizette act with each other, love it how Beau prove her wrong about age is nothing but a number, love it how Beau never gave up on the feeling that he has for Lizette, and love it how Lizette decide it to give it a tried and open up to love, Author Andria Large THANK YOU for introducing me to this amazing characters and this awesome, wonderful book love it.

A promising start for the Renegade series!

Beau was an incredibly adorable, handsome, charming, talented and sweet country boy Hero. I really liked him; his determination to be together with Lizette and how passionately he loved her would have any woman falling head over heels for him. I felt so bad for him when things went south for the two of them (even when we all- except Beau-knew it was coming). BUT...

I have to say my blood seriously boiled when Beau spiraled downward. My stomach churned big time when I read about his "extra curricular" activities. And for Lizette to witness it firsthand? Pass the barf bag now, please. I pretty much wanted to write Beau off then and there.

GRANTED... Lizette had no one to blame but herself. She chose to be in a relationship with him, knew how it would play out and still made her lame-a** decision. It was harsh. They shared so much sexually and emotionally... Beau got to know her brother, Dennis... Man, I was SO MAD with Lizette for making Beau think that there could be more. BUT...

I understood where she was coming from. Beau was a lot younger than her and he was a client of hers. Professionally, that was the right decision. She had a right to be nervous about what might happen if they got together. I didn't think her argument about her whacked-out parents was strong enough to avoid getting involved with Beau though.

I had no idea Lizette would be so bold at the end but I'm glad she was! It obviously reassured Beau that she wasn't planning on going anywhere!!

The other band members were intriguing, Ace is high on my list, and make me excited to read the next installment in the series.

I especially liked the Beck connection at the end. I've missed him so much! I think a Beck brothers re-read is in order!!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Lizette is the manager for the boy band Renegade. She has been their manager for the last 5 years. For the last 3 years, Beau the youngest of the members at age 23, has asked her out at least 3 times a week. She tells him time and time again no. Telling him she does not date her clients and he is to young for her. There is a 7 year age difference between them, with her being 30. With 2 weeks before their promotions for the concert begins, Beau takes off to see his family in West Virginia. Without being able to reach him by phone, she has no choice but to go down to his family's ranch. She needs to inform him to be back in New York at the end of the week. While in West Virginia she ends up kissing Beau twice, trying to deny that she is attracted to him. He can see right through her denial. He can see that she does feel something for him. So she leaves and heads back to New York, telling him that she can't be with him and it would never work.

Beau has 4 days to come up with a plan to prove to her that he is the man for her. Once back in New York, Lizette avoids Beau all day, so he shows up at her condo. Asking her to be his girlfriend for 1 month (30 days) and after those 30 days if she still thinks they shouldn't be together he will leave her alone and never ask her out again.

Will Lizette lose her heart to Beau in those 30 days? Will she over come her issues with their age difference?

4 bombs

Good read, this book kept me turning pages to see what would happen next with Lizette and Beau. It is funny, heart wrenching and emotional. It is also a cliffhanger. Can't wait for the next book.

This is a SPOILER FREE review, so it will be short & sweet. I hope you enjoy!!

5star review..why….

1. Boy Band- Yes, I'm a sucker for one and I'm 40!!
2. Hot, SWEET, SOUTHERN Rocker
3. Humor
4. Heartbreak
5. A virgin (again, for some reason, a sucker for one!)
6. A damaged sibling suffering from PTSD and a very big secret
7. A horrible accident

Beau- Is 23 & the lead singer of Sweet Renegade (Beau, Roland, Ace, Everett & Dean). They have been together for 10 years.

Lizette- Is 30 & the manager of Sweet Renegade for the past 5 years.

This is a wonderful story of Beau liking Lizette for many years and repeatedly asking her out. Lizette repeatedly turning down Beau's advances for several reason…
1. She is the band's manager
2. It would be unprofessional
3. She is 7 years his senior

But Beau loves a challenge and feels if Lizette would just give him a chance, he can prove her wrong. An incident happens that leads Lizette to agree to be Beau's girlfriend for 1 month and show her how perfect they are together. After the month Lizette feel she will have no problem telling Beau, thanks but no thanks or will she. It was nice to have a story where the female character is the one with the issue of an age difference. Her fears are valid and probably more so with the women in a relationship that is older. I LOVED this story and can't wait for the rest of the boys in Sweet Renegade to get their story. This is my first book from Andria Large and will not be the last!!! Go get this story, go like Andrias' FB, GR & Amazon page as well!!!

This is a fantastic start to introducing us to the men of Renegade! Andria had me hooked with her Beck Brother's series and I must say this new one did not disappoint.

She begins by introducing us to the band Renegade. They began as a boy band five years ago and oh my have they grown up.
Beau is our 23 year old front man. He is a sweet southern boy full of charm, passion and talent. He could have any woman he wants but the one he desires keeps getting away! He has been in awe of Lizette since the day she became the bands manager five years ago. He has tried every trick and angle to get her to see him as the man that is perfect for her!
Lizette is a 30 year old successful, beautiful ,stubborn , feisty woman. She has successfully brushed off Beau's advances for years. She knows that the electricity she feels when they are together is amazing but has decided that he is too young for her. She knows that it is never a good idea to mix business with pleasure.
Beau finally devises a plan. He asks Lizette to date him for 30 days . If he can convince her they can make this work and the spark they feel between them is real she must stop fighting him. If she can walk away after 30 days realizing Beau is not the man for her he will never ask her out again!
How could this go wrong?????
This was the perfect balance of romance, humor, sexual tension and oh my let's not get started on the sex! The characters are well developed which in turn makes you fall in love with them. They are surrounded by a wonderful supporting cast.
I can not wait to read more from this series and the men of Renegade. Great job Andria!

This would have been a 3/4 star read for me but Lizzie (yes! I called her Lizzie) was a B**CH! She was so horrible to that poor boy that by the time that they did get together I wanted Beau to find a nice girl somewhere along in the story.

Lizzie - the recycled excuses she used got old say after about the first chapter - I hate people who pretend they don't want something when they really do!Another thing I hated was that in the beginning the fact that her being 7 years older and constantly referring to it, made their relationship feel skeevy/icky/gross when they did get together. She made it feel like she was like a 25 years older than him or something rather than just 7 years! I mean personally I'm not into the whole cougar thing but I have read some books where the female protag is alot older than the guy (Empty Net, Everything I Never Had, Jane's Melody)and it didn't come across as though she was the dominant one! I felt that the guy was still the guy despite him being younger - I didn't get that with this book. She said he was immature as well when in reality she was the one that came across like that. It also irked me when they were about to get together and she laughed at him cause she didnt believe he was still holding his V-card.

Beau - he was lovely, so sweet and caring, I really liked him. And I would have really liked someone else for him. Sorry that didn't happen. Maybe he and another girl would have made this a 3/4 star book.

Well enough said - I mean I could go on forever about Lizzie but I think I'll leave it there - so, 2 stars from me.

*Warning – Adult language*

I have to say, this book was freakin awesome!

Did you ever read a book that when it ends makes you realise that you are an incredibly boring old lady? ‘Sweet Renegade’ was that book for me! I was so affected by this book, that I felt the need to email the author directly -

It's 1:19am and I have just finished my new book. Completely fucked my head up, and loved every minute of it... Couldn't wait to see how it would end, yet dreaded the last page. Throw in the fact that I know I need to be up in about 5 hours to do all that boring 'get kids fed, bathed, ready for school' crap while Lizette gets to have a great job and fuck Beau's brains out whenever she wants - devastated! Amazing girl, your best work yet!

These are the sort of characters that I love to read about - characters that fill me with excitement and yearning and jittery anxiety. Living vicariously through Lizette, hell yes, sign me up! Except the bit where she hurts the gorgeous virgin boy with the heart of gold. (I would be so busy tearing his clothes off all the time, there wouldn't be any time for heartbreaking)!

I really love that Andria winds her characters together in her books, and sincerely hope that she considers writing a storyline for Dennis, and develops the character relationship between Beau and Dennis.

And I love love loved the teaser for Book 2 in the Renegade series - especially the brief mention of my favourite Beck brother!

*I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review*

Beau is not what you’d expect from a musician. He’s sweet, hardworking, determined, and oh yeah the most important part…a twenty-three year old virgin. He has his reason, and they are oh so sweet, but not even the best intentions can hold out forever. Especially not when you’ve wanted someone for years and finally have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Lizette is Renegade’s manager and she loves her job. What she isn’t too thrilled about is getting asked out every few weeks by Beau. She has no interest in an immature much younger guy, even if he is the epitome of sexy…or is she?

“I hope that’s not what I think it is,” Lizette groans. “Please tell me it’s a flashlight.”

“Sorry, can’t help it, there’s a beautiful woman in my lap.”

When a circumstance throws these two together there’s no denying the heat, no matter how hard she tries. It’s a great story and I look forward to reading more about the rest of Renegade.

My Favorite Laughable Moments: OMG…the condom talk with Ace is hilarious!

“Relief washes over me, he wants me to practice on a banana! Thank freaking God!”

But even funnier than that was when Leila caught Beau being bored and trying to pass time…while drinking beer, in his underwear, in his mother’s kitchen, and singing falsetto. Gotta love baby sisters.

“Oh…my…god! That’s so going on YouTube!”

4 Star Book
*Review for Blog*

I was excited to read this since I am a huge Boy Band fan. You don’t get many books like this one.

I have to say I fell in love with Beau right away. He was so sweet, charming and super hot. Beau is a true cowboy who goes after what he wants and who he wants. In this case he wants his bands manager Lizette. Lizette has been the bands manager for awhile now and Beau has been asking her out from the beginning. After countless times of being shot down Beau proposed a deal with Lizette. Lizette had to be Beau’s girlfriend for a full month so he could prove to her he was serious. If after the month she wanted to end it he would stop bugging her to be with him. They decided to keep it a secret just to keep professional. The only person who really knew was Lizzie’s brother Dennis. I have to say I loved Dennis, he was such a good character and brought so much to the story. He quickly became good friends with Beau which both helped and made it harder on Lizette to resist how she was feeling about Beau. I don’t want to get into anymore of the story cause I don’t want to spoil anything.

I really liked this book. I loved the characters and the story. It had a little bit of everything and kept me reading. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for more Sweet Renegade.

SPOILER ALERT BEWARE!!! Oh Lizzie how I wanted to strangle you at times. But I can see her concerns too on a few things. First off she is 30 and Beau is 23, she is his bands manager, and she's scared he only wants one thing sex. But what she doesn't know is that Beau is a virgin. Sire he's fooled around with groupies but no sex was ever involved. Beau has relentlessly perused Lizzie for years but she always rejected him. He proposes that they date secretly for a month to see how their relationship evolves. Well it is extremely hot. Beau and Lizzie have incredible sex. Beau now knows his decision to wait to have sex was well worth it. At the end of the month Lizzie dumps him and breaks his heart. He flees home and is kicked n the face by a horse. Lizzie rushes there but he wants nothing to do with her. Finally she convinces him how sorry she is and they agree to start over. Things are going great. Then out of the blue Lizzie proposes to Beau to prove her love. I love this book. Cannot wait yo read the next book about the other band mates. Great read! Loved Beau he is truly a romantic southern gentleman. Loved him!!

Review: I was given a complimentary copy of Sweet Renegade by Love romance books for an honest review.
I enjoyed Andria’s writing. It was different and I couldn’t put the book down. Beau is 23 and a virgin. He’s in a band and he is hot. He always has girls wanting him but he only wants one woman and that’s Lizette, the bands manager. He has been after her since they hired her. Beau has been asking her out for years but she always says no. Finally, she agrees to date him for a month. What she didn’t expect was to fall in love with him. Lizette is just dating Beau so that he will leave her alone. She starts to like being around him. I loved the characters in this book. Roland is the unofficial leader, Dean is a ladies man, Ace is the bad boy, Everett is silent but sexy and then there is Beau the sweet and sexy cowboy. Lizette makes me mad in this book because I just think her and Beau should be together. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to see what else Andria has in store for us in the next book. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars!

In this book we are introduced to Lizette and our 'Sweet Renegade' Beau. Beau is famous, he is in a band, he is hot as hell, and he is a giant softy, who is in love...with his manager. There is one problem with that, SHE does not date her clients. Beau decides to convince her he is worth loving and she is worth being loved. He asks her for one month, and during that month you see how charming our 'Sweet Renegade' can be. Andria Large did a great job telling us a story of two people who are falling in love but one who is to stubborn to see the end result based on a past that she couldn't control.
"That's the problem Lizzie, I don't hate you, and believe me, I've tried. I'm still so in love with you it's killing me."
Beau (Sweet Renegade)
I literally stayed up until two in the morning and read this book in one sitting because I wanted to see if Lizette learns her lesson and if Beau takes her back. I recommend you grab this book right now so you can find out what happens with these two!
Great Job Andria Large!
I can't wait for Ace's story!

I have to say that I loved this book. It was not like a book I have red in a while. You have this great Love store from Beau. Even thou he is a singer and in love with his manger for years. I have to say that is when I would have given up and not try to be with someone. Finally when He had enough he asked her to just try it for one month. This is when the store just gets better and better. I never wanted to put the book down. There was fitting, hearts breaking, and a new change for someone. On another note this was book and started out intro you to your characters and there life. Then as you read you will learn more about them and that when the sexual relations will start. When reading this book you will get emotionally involved. I found myself so involved with Beau character more. I would feel his emotions on how he was feeling. It also had me so mad at the one who made him feel that way. He also had some mad at him for his decision and some that stood by him. I can't wait for the second book to read on.

I am always interested in reading a great book with a cowboy in the story, however when I read this book I was surprised to read this plot. Andria Large wrote this amazing book and I can guarantee you that once you start reading it you will not want to put it down.

I was so happy to identify my self with the main characters. You will fill every single emotion running thru your veins and hitting you in the heart as the character go on.

Meet Beau Kennedy, a young, gorgeous, cowboy, member of RENEGADE the music group he belongs to. Raised by his single mother, he has something that most 23 year old musician don't have. His virginity. He also has this major crush on their group manager Lizette!!!

Meer Lizette , she is a 30 year old woman with a past that will not allow her to fall in love. While being Renegade's manager, and being chased by Beau, she will learn a life changing experienced.

Will Beau find his HEA? or Will he live with his dreams crushed by Lizette?

Falling in love with the Renegade's

Falling in love with the Renegade's

I completely fell in love with Andria's writing and characters when I found her Beck brothers series. Henry is my favorite but Christian holds a special place in my heart too. Now, let's meet the Renegade's. Starting with Beau in "Sweet Renegade". A little slow to start but you really get to know Beau and Lizzie in those chapters. When they get together it's just WOW!!!!! Prepare to fall in love. You will laugh, cry and hurt while reading this story. Supporting characters are wonderful too, especially Beau's mom, Regina and Lizzie's brother, Dennis. I can't wait to read Ace's story in the next book, " Wild Renegade ". The teaser was great and I loved that Raelynn and Sebastian (Beck) were a part of it.
