Isabel should have died the night we met. She has a gift for looking danger in the eye and coming out unscathed. She narrowly escaped DC with her life, and now she’s on the run again. I’m hardly her guardian angel, but I’m determined to keep her safe. More, I refuse to give her up. She’s under my skin, sparking more than a few latent memories. She’s made me feel again. Showed me I’m human in ways I never knew possible.
I’ll find my way back to her, even if that means contending with the organization that has promised to keep her hidden. Except they have a different way of doing business than I’m accustomed to. Now I have to decide who I really am. Man or mercenary.
Meredith Wild is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of 22 novels. After self-publishing her debut novel Hardwired in 2013, Wild used her ten years of experience as a tech entrepreneur to form her own publishing imprint, forging relationships with major retails, and becoming one of the first indie authors to become fully stocked in brick-and-mortar bookstore chains nationwide.
Both traditionally and self-published, Wild’s books have hit No. 1 on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers lists. She has been featured on CBS This Morning, The Today Show, the New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Publishers Weekly, and The Examiner. Her foreign rights have been sold in over 23 languages. She resides in Florida with her many cats.
I’m at the end of this book and have no idea where the author is going to take us next. Tristan and Isabel now know who ordered the hit and why, but the danger for them both is far from over. Tristan is a very hot commodity and the company he works for wants him back. One threat may be neutralized but in this life the threats are sure to keep on coming. As there are still quite a few more books left in the series, their story is far from done.
Again, Isabel frustrated the heck out of me. Not once did Tristan give her reason to doubt him, but she continued to put her life in jeopardy, despite seeing how deadly serious the threat against her life was. Leaving him behind was dumb and this action aggravated me. And let me say this… taking a few self defence classes does not make you into a badass. Nothing she was learning was really going to make her capable of taking down TRAINED ASSASSINS!! Yet this chick thought she could handle everything all by herself. WTF?! She and a ragtag group of wannabe amazons thought they could defeat bad guys all by themselves? Thankfully Tristan wasn’t allowing Isabel’s stubbornness and absolute idiocy to rule him. He remained true to the man I’ve come to know and had her back every time. LOVE HIM!
I have no idea what is coming next for this couple but I’m definitely going to stay tuned for the ride! Happy Reading xo

Release: August 7, 2018 | Genre: Romantic Suspense | Dual POV - 1st person | Heat: 3 | Book 3 - The Red Ledger series | Publisher - Waterhouse Press
Tristan, a hitman, has one more job: kill Isabel Foster. It’s just one more job like the ones he has been doing for the last six years since he left the army. Nothing new until Isabel recognizes him from a past he can’t remember.
Isabel has been mourning Tristan’s departure since the day he went to the army and ended things with her by using a letter. Six years later, she can’t believe her eyes when he’s standing right in front of her acting like he doesn’t remember her or their love. But it’s not acting. He lost his memory in his last mission in the army, so she’s now the only connection he has to his old life. That is, if he doesn’t kill her like he’s being paid for.
Oh, Meredith Wild...you have ruined me in all the very best ways. And you've done it with a secret weapon named Tristan Stone, who's every bit as dark, sensual, moody, and dangerous as the city where this series roams for Part 3. New Orleans, turned into an incredibly lush and sexy additional character here, is the absolutely perfect setting for this part of Tristan and Isabel's story, where the two are reunited and face obstacles that seem insurmountable, especially because friends and foes are constantly changing masks and identities. By the time the final act of the book came, I was riveted and anxious, but having a blast trying to guess the next twist in the plot--and of course, gleefully surprised when the story took turns I didn't expect. All the while, with every new turn, I fell a little deeper in love with a protagonist who's as dangerous as he is decadent, and as stealthy as he is sexy. Tristan Stone has got to be one of the hottest romantic suspense heroes I've ever had the pleasure of falling for--and I mean falling HARD. Wow. Just wow. Get ready ready for a sultry, suspenseful ride that you won't soon forget. This book has it ALL.
These books just get better and better!! Meredith Wild is a genius. The flow of the story is flawless. It has been quite the journey experiencing the growth of Tristan and Isabel.
Tristan does not really know how to feel about Isabel. He knows he wants to protect her and be with her. He is drawn to her more than he likes. Is this safe?! Is it good for either of them?!
Isabel has been doing what she needs to do to survive... As she finds answers she is also finding just as many questions. Who can really be trusted?! She digs deeper and deeper!
This Series is a MUST read. I will warn you....EACH part is highly addicting. Be prepared to read this in one sitting.
New Orleans, The Big Easy. But there is nothing "easy" about this city in The Red Ledger book 3. If you thought books 1&2 were " hot, steamy, electrifying, nail biting and edge of your seat sitting, while you turn each page books", then wait until you get your hands on this book. Yet again, Meredith, has brought us another scorcher. You'll need a lot of ice water handy while you read. I have no choice but to give this book 5 stars, with a recommendation to all who enjoy reading a mysterious and suspenseful book, with a little erotic romance thrown in for good measure, then this book is perfect for you. I predict The Red Ledger Series to be on the #1 best sellers list for a long time to come, it's that good.
If books 1 and 2 are amazing, this one is soooo much more, I absolutely loved it, it’s full of emotions, it’s just epic had me on the edge of my seat reading, it’s just spectacular you fall even more in love with Tristan and Isabel and not just that, you respect them!! Meredith sure knows how to keep us wanting more with each passing page.
INTENSE...ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT...SLOW BURN ❤️❤️❤️
Once again, Meredith is a master storyteller in this steamy, sexy thriller between lost loves Tristan and Isabel. We seem to be digging deeper into the mystery surrounding their unexpected reunion. While some questions are being answered, there is more mystery and intrigue we've yet to discover. The journey into their turbulent relationship is worth every twist and turn. Once you join them in this dangerous game of cat and mouse, there is no going back.
Tristan is drawn to Isabel in a way he can't yet understand. He struggles with his need to protect her, as well as feelings of love and affection. He questions himself and his ability to do his job when her mere presence throws him off balance. Isabel remembers Tristan as the man he used to be. But now that she's bound to Tristan, she struggles with the new man that he's become. His determination to keep them both safe no matter the risk consume his thoughts and actions.
Heat, mystery, suspense, intriguing. This is a page turner you don't want to miss!
Meredith Wild has created an absolutely amazing series! The 3rd part of Red Ledger will keep you on your toes and up late because you will not want to put this one down until you have finished it. Tristan and Isabel are an amazing duo who together are trying to decide if love can survive the danger they are in. She knows the man he used to be but is he still that man or someone else completely more dangerous. In this part three, they both must ask important questions of each other. So much is questioned and they must make decisions that will possibly impact both of their lives. I can not wait for the next part!!
I love that the action from each book in this series happens in a different city! 😁 This one was placed in New Orleans (this city reminds me of The Originals).
OMG!!! This series is so intense!!! Red Ledger Part 3 was no different, the action is non stop and Tristan and Isabel’s path is about to get more dangerous. We meet some new characters that definitely have a good set of skills to help the pair out. The more I read, the more I want!!!
Holy Shit!!!! Wow !!! I am totally speechless!!! Part 3 was amazing !! Meredith Wild is a phenomenal author!!! This book is full of suspense, it's heart breaking, breath taking, and gut wrenching all in one!!!!
If I could give this series more than five stars I would!! I just can’t get enough of these two. This series is so hard to put down. Yeah, I kind of forgot to cook dinner last night. Lol
This book starts off with a bang! Isabel has reached her destination, and is now in hiding. While our lovely Tristian is searching for more clues, and trying to find his way back to her. Life is changing at a quick pace for these two, and now they may have some help. There is a lot going on in this installment, and I don’t want to give to much away. So I will say this, if you have followed their journey then get ready for the best part yet. There is passion, angst, adventure, and a fantastic plot twist. Tristian is everything a woman would want, and I’m hoping that his outcome will be what he needs in the next installment. You will understand once you have read the book. All I know is that I need Part 4 right now! This ending left me wondering where Meredith is going to take us.
In the third installment of the Red Ledger, Suspense and intrigue still rains down on Isabel and Tristan even with a change in location. New Orleans brings in a host of new characters to build upon the tangled web of who wants Isabel dead and for what real reasons. However, this book shows lots of emotional growth or diving in deeper into the characters. Isabel finally figures how that she is actually much stronger then she thought, while Tristan finally figured out he doesnt want to live without Isabel. We get to feel the struggle of a romance in such a thrilling time .. which can at times be a little dark. Meredith Wild has done a superb job of keeping the reader engaged and coming pack to see where the next twist takes us on the this journey.
I simply can not get enough of Tristan and Isabel. Star-crossed lovers on a path to destruction trying hard to rescue each other. Tristan trying to save Isabel from an evil family hell bent on evening the score against her family, while she is trying to resurrect Tristan from the brainwashing organization who turned him into a killing machine. Slowly Isabel is becoming a strong, self-reliant take charge woman while Tristan is changing from a cold-blooded killer to a man who is forsaking his heartless assassin lifestyle to be a man Isabel can love. Can they run this gauntlet and make it to a safe haven where they can start over together? Can't wait for the next installment! 5 enthusiastic stars for this series!!
I am so captivated by this series. I can't get enough of it. I don't have the words to describe how awesome and epic this series is!!! I read this in one sitting because I could not put it down! It a definitely a real page turner. Isobel and Tristan are amazing. Meredith Wild has outdone herself with this series. Read it. You will not be disappointed!
Meredith Wild continues to up the ante to the next level with each new installment to this incredible series. I am finding myself so beyond addicted and consumed to these characters and every twist and turn they find themselves facing as this story continues. What Meredith Wild so exceptionally crafted and continued in this third installment of The Red Ledger Series was phenomenal. It was perfectly intense, consuming in the most real way, and it took these characters to the edge in more ways than one.
The start of this book picks up right where the last part left off, which I loved. Meredith Wild does the most incredible job of making this story one that you NEED more of. You makes that need so real and tangible at times, and that is just one of the many things that will have you hooked beyond measured into the world of this series. This next installment brings Isabel to New Orleans, as she continues her run from Tristan, from those who seek to kill her, and from so many other things. This chapter of her story finds her trying to make sense of what she feels, all while simultaneously hoping that Tristan will find his way back to her sooner rather than later. This next part delivers many answers, and brings about just as many questions about what will happen next and what the next chapter will bring for these two.
What I loved about this next part of this fantastic series was that it continued everything I have already come to love about these characters and their world, while also introducing more pieces to the puzzle and new characters to think about. Every new character, every moment within this story, and every turn of that page presents another dynamic, intense, and unforgettable piece to the puzzle that is this story. Meredith Wild so exceptional crafts and plots those pieces, making the way it all unfolds and the way they all come together truly phenomenal.
With every new moment I fall deeper under the spell that this book, this series, this world, and Tristan & Isabel cast. What those two share is raw, so passionate in the most unadulterated way, yet so meaningful and full of more and more heart. Getting to be there on their journey as he discovers more of his past, more of who he is with Isabel, and more of who he wants to be is something I will probably never get enough of. Getting to be there with her as she discovers and wields her own strength and tenacity, as she learns about herself and what she wants, and as she is tested in ways she never expected is something I truly love. The two of them have a fiercely strong connection that knows now bounds. This next chapter with them just heightened all of that even more, and I am beyond ready to see where their next chapter will take them together.
Meredith Wild proves again and again in this story that she is an incredible write who writes one helluva story. She creates a world that is gritty and intense and so easy to jump right into. She seamlessly crafts a story that will keep you on your toes through every page while you try to guess what will happen next. She thoughtfully brings to life two characters who are dynamic, memorable, and have a fiercely strong connection that will pull you in something fierce. Simply put, this story has it all and I could not be more addicted to it!
This was another phenomenal installment to this series, and I look forward to devouring the 4th as soon as I can get my hands on it! Meredith Wild continues to show how truly amazing her writing and storytelling is, and this installment with Tristan and Isabel was nothing short of incredible!
The race of their lives continue! Exhilarating and heart pounding. Meredith Wild continues to hold captive my breath in The Red Ledger Part Three. I devour every sentence as if it’s my last meal. I crave more of this story ASAP.
Something I find interesting about this series is that, even though the main storyline is ongoing, each book feels like a fresh adventure. New places, new problems, new relationships. And the whole time they are gaining information, on the run, and falling into a new version of their old love.
I have felt that Isabel was strong since book one, but it's only now she's starting to realize it and build it. Girl power! In a lot of ways, I think she is the fiercest and strongest character in the series. It's interesting watching the humanization of Tristan through his feelings for her. It's like she's breathing life back into him.
I look forward to seeing what's next for these two.
WOOOOOW! What a great continuation of the first 2 books. Some of the feelings I went through while reading included relief, anxiety, freedom, pure rage, desperation. How can an author bring me to feel that and more, I don’t know but Meredith Wild sure can. I love how while reading I can feel the music while they are dancing. But I can also feel Tristan’s distrust in Halo which allows me to feel like I don’t completely trust them either. It’s amazing. The characters are well written, you can’t help but get immersed in each ones story, you want more of each. If you haven’t yet, start reading this series you won’t regret it. Then get your husbands to read it, they will also enjoy it!
Some questions have been answered and some moves have been made to take their lives back. The decisions made in this one are varied with most ranging from bad to horrible. Everything is set up for the next installment, but without giving away anything that might happen. It all ends with you lusting for more and yet happy with how the tides are turning.
The pace of this series is relentless and has nonstop action. Just when you start to relax and take a breath, Meredith Wild accelerates the pace like a blue streak. We learn Isabel has talents she never knew she was capable of. That girl's got game. Tristan is still struggling with his feelings for Isabel. She continually jabs at his comfort zone and it interferes with his mantra that he needs to keep her safe and out of harm's way.
I am looking forward to the next installment of this high octane story.
The third installment in this volume of Red Ledger continues right where the second installment ended.
While this installment is not quite as packed with action as the first two, it is still good. Meredith digs a bit more into the relationship/feelings part between Tristan and Isabel.
Isabel is learning to become more dependent on herself and how to defend herself. All the while, Tristan is learning how to deal with feelings he isn't accustom to.
Isabel is trying to fight her own battles, while Tristan is battling with trusting her and sticking to what he has been doing the last few years - act first, think later. He's an assassin and that's all he knows.
I have to admit while I was hoping for more action, the whole analytical thinking and plotting were just as intense watching things play out and running into even more obstacles.
Once again i got lost in the world Merideth Wild has created so amazingly. Each book in this series keeps getting better and better, im always on the edge of my seat. Im always checking the % left in the book because i dont want it to end.
Tristan is the ultimate book boyfriend, dangerous, seductive and mysterious you cant help but be drawn to him. He oozes sex appeal and bad boy more than any other book boyfriend ive read.
Isabel grows more and more with every book i read she’s fierce and i just adore her.
I cant wait for the rest of the books in this series, the cliffhangers just keep coming and i keep needing more.
The Red Ledger: 3 was a great continuation of Tristan and Isabel's story but with a twist. Shebhas now disappeared and he is looking for her. In addition, I love that Isabel has now found a new sense of strength and determination in figuring out who is out to kill her. This story was sexy and gritty and was still adrenaline pumping and invigorating.
I especially liked that Tristan was out of sorts at times seeing the confidence and strength Isobel came into. It was nice seeing him have to acknowledge his feelings to not only himself but Isabel. And that ending! Woah! I seriously cannot wait for part 4. Bravo! 3.5 stars! ~Ratula
I was shocked that Isabel didn't change her first name. She was smart to change her look. Her mother was very smart and wise her plan for Isabel to escape. I wish we knew more about Noam. He sounds like a very sexy and sweet man with a past. I could tell Tristan is not going to like another man around Isabel.
The characters will make you love this series. I didn't think I will want to keep reading but I'm addicted. I can't wait to read Part 4.
This is another good installment of the Red Ledger story and brings us a little more into the craziness that is Tristan and Isabel, but this is not the end and we have no idea what is coming next. I love the writing and how it sucks you in, it will have you at the edge of your seat waiting for the other shoe to fall and you’ll love every second of it.
In the last book Isabel left Tristan sleeping in the hotel with nothing more than a vague note with where she was going. Her mom had everything planned out and she thought she could save everyone...
Tristan had no intentions of letting her go and he knows just who to go to to get answers. However he is not expecting the brutal truths that await him.
Will they finally get their forever or will they walk away for good??
