Aidan: The Rescue

Indie Rebels #5

by Miranda P. Charles

Can Aidan turn his back on the work that gives him purpose to be with the woman who captures his heart? Rescued by the ultra-secretive Indie Rebels as a teenager, Aidan has dedicated his life to the crime-fighting group’s cause. That is, until he meets Felicity. Revealing his identity is out of the question, so he finds himself having to make a forget about Felicity or leave the Indie Rebels to give his relationship with her a fighting chance. Either way, his heart is sure to break. Can he find a way to have it all? After a harrowing experience with an ex-boyfriend, Felicity swore off men entirely. So, when her body and mind drive her towards Aidan, she isn’t sure what to think. He is everything that her ex wasn’t—honest, kind, and “has nothing to hide” being at the top of that list. Though she has reservations, Felicity thinks Aidan might just be worth it. But when client meetings start running late into the night, causing him to skip dates, Felicity starts to wonder if she has a pattern when it comes to men. Or is there more to Aidan than meets the eye? ***

The Rescue can be read as a standalone novel or as book 5 of the Indie Rebels series, where steamy, heart-melting romance meets danger, mystery and suspense.

About the author

Miranda P. Charles writes swoonworthy, stirring, and steamy contemporary romance novels with oh-so-sweet heroes and strong heroines.

She prefers to spend her time in front of her laptop, putting into words the love stories that play in her head. Don't get her started with reading a great book, though, because she tends to not put it down until she gets to the last page even if she loses sleep.

She does have a life outside of books. Mostly, that consists of bonding with family and friends or going on romantic trips with her awesome husband.

She lives in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia.

ARC for honest review with no compensation received from BookSprout

Aidan is book 5 in the Indie Rebels series by Miranda Charles, love this series!This book is a standalone but reading them in order gives you a more understanding of this series.

Up next, is Aidan and Felicity. He’s attracted to Felicity but she’s not an Indie a Rebel so he has to find a way to turn off the attraction as starting a relationship would leave her totally in the dark when he’s called to help. So not happening as the attraction accelerates and then her ex, who’s in jail for domestic abuse (also owing criminals lots of money) unbeknownst to her he claims she know where the missing money is...now they are coming for her. Aidan needs to figure a way to help her and get her to join the Indie Rebels...

What happens next...intimidation, kidnapping, suspense, secrets, danger and second chances.

I love Ms. Charles’ Indie Rebel books. I felt bad for Aiden as he is attracted to Felicity, but she is not one of the Indie Rebels. She is attracted to him too. He knows how hard it could be to try to have a relationship with her because he would have to lie to her all the time. Felicity’s best friend is an IR too, but she doesn’t have to see Felicity all the time so she doesn’t have to lie much. Felicity’s ex is in jail for beating up Felicity and burning her car up. His father had money that a criminal gang wants so Felicity’s ex tells them that Felicity has it. This causes trouble for her. I was glad to see there was a way for Aiden to not be so involved with the IR’s so he didn’t have to lie to Felicity. Their path is not a smooth path but has so many bumps. There is also suspicion with a good friend of Felicity’s. This is an exciting book that I strongly encourage you to read. I was given a copy of the book and voluntarily wrote a review.

This is book 5 in the Indie Rebels series and it features Aidan and Felicity. Aidan knew personally why it wasn’t a good idea to date a non-Indie Rebel and why it’s forbidden to tell any non-Indie Rebel about the Indie Rebels. For this reason he couldn’t get serious about the woman he wanted so badly. Now she’s in danger and it’s up to Aidan and the rest of the Indie Rebels to protect her.

Fantastic story line!  As always, the characters are awesome! The secrecy, action and adventure are always enticing. I can’t wait for the next IR book.

This is book five in The Indie Rebels Series and it is Aidan and Felicity's story and omg what a story it is. Aidan is a Indie Rebel and they help those in need but they keep there identity secret so they can't be recognised as there lives would be in danger including there families. Felicity helps other domestic violence victims through her new age furniture workshop as she has been in this situation herself. Aidan thought Felicity was beautiful as he met her through a friend but with the job he does being with her is a problem even though they have a great connection and instant chemistry Aidan is unable to date anyone that is not a Indie Rebel after what happened years ago to someone important to him. Felicity thought that Widen was a one night stand type of man and didn't do commitment and that was not what she wanted even though she knew that they had chemistry so where does that leave them both. There are twists and turns along with danger, secrets, hope, love and second chances and you have to keep turning the pages to see what will happen next and it is so well written. I definitely recommend you read this book and others by Miranda P Charles who is a brilliant author and writer and her books are definitely worth reading.

This book is about a young man named Aidan who is a member of a secret vigilante group called the Indie Rebels. His membership in the group MUST be kept a secret. This becomes a problem when he falls in love with Felicity, a woman who helps victims of domestic violence, a calling she had after her abusive ex-boyfriend was put in jail. Felicity decided at that point that she really didn't trust men because of the bad actions of her ex. She becomes attracted to Aidan, thinking that maybe he is a man she CAN trust. What will happen when she finds out he has a secret identity that he has kept hidden from her? And how can Aidan get serious with someone who can't know about his vigilante activities? This is the main problem with Aidan and Felicity being able to have an HEA. I enjoyed the book and was only disappointed that there could have been more suspenseful action, perhaps even more danger to Felicity. But the love story was good and I recommend it to readers looking for an easy to read romance novel with an underlying theme of the hero secretly fighting crime.

Yes, Aidan finally gets his story told. He has been the amazing team leader behind so many successful Indie Rebels missions. There is so much we don’t really know since he is usually the voice in someone’s ear as they take on these amazing missions. When he attends Isla’s birthday party, he gets to meet her best friend Felicity in person. And suddenly, this intense and Indie Rebel focused man realizes that maybe love is out there for him. But how can that happen when his life is so unpredictable with the missions he handles. Felicity is finally getting her footing and her confidence back. She is shocked to feel such a sudden and intense attraction to Aidan. This is the first time since the disaster of a relationship she had been in. I enjoyed this couple as they navigated the challenges of building a relationship. It was fantastic to get to know Aidan outside of the amazing work he does for the Indie Rebels. Another fun and sexy adventure with the Indie Rebels!

[Urvashi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aidan is attracted towards Felicity from the minute they meet. And even though he knows his feelings are reciprocated, he does nothing about it. He is a team leader with IR, and past experience has taught him that any relation with an non IR is difficult.
But when Felicity proposes a fling, saying no is not an option, and instantly they know that a fling is not enough. To give their relationship a chance, Aidan takes a backseat on his role as an IR, but when Felicity’s life is in danger all bets are off.
This is an entertaining read with some twists and surprises to keep things exciting. there is some hot chemistry between Aidan and Felicity and I also enjoyed their journey to HEA.
This is a wonderful addition to an entertaining series.

This book was absolutely phenomenal and omg it will have you on an emotional roller coaster ride. I can’t say to much about this book because it's truly a must read from the beginning until the end. There was nothing about this book that I didn’t like! It is full of drama and emotion. I was blown away by the emotions I felt from the characters. They made me feel so many different emotions throughout the book. It is so well developed and the characters are so real. The storyline flows well and is easy to read. This book is one of the best stories I have read of 2020!! This is a must read book for anyone!! Just wish I could give this book more than 5 stars Happy reading everyone!!

Miranda P Charles’ books are always filled with love, drama, suspense and a little danger and we fall in love with her characters right from the beginning. Aiden and Felicity have an attraction but with his job having to be kept secret and her background with her ex they both struggle with that attraction. Can she trust another man and would he be able to keep her safe even though he can’t have a relationship with he since she isn’t a member of Indie Rebels? Another great reD from Miranda can’t wait for Kerrod the next book in this series.

This is one of those series that you can be obsessed with very easily. Aiden has given his lifetime to the Indie Rebels. He meets a fellow IR's friend, Felicity, and he struggles with his desire for her and his duty to the IRs. This book has wonderful characters that have already been introduced in the earlier books. We just learn more of their history that makes them the people they are. I was hooked from the first page until the last. Lots of suspenseful, well written scenes and intense love scenes with some twists and turns take us on a journey to see this couple get their own HEA.

This is an intriguing addition to the Indie Rebels series. Aidan has been a member most of his life. Falling for Felicity is a delima for sure. Felicity has had to overcome an abusive relationship and does have lingering effects even though she has made great accomplishments in her confidence. there are choices to be made, surprising twists and great chemistry between characters. Also enjoyed catching up with the characters from previous books. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Laura R · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a great addition to the series. The attraction between Aidan and Felicity was instant and very strong. Aidan knows he can't have a relationship with Felicity since she isn't an IR. Felicity thinks Aidan doesn't want a commitment with anyone but she doesn't believe in flings. But can she make an exception since she can't get Aidan out of her mind?

At the same time, Felicity's abusive ex-boyfriend's sister shows up wanting to talk to her. Then she lodges a complaint against Felicity with the police. There a few twists after this, and some humor as the case is solved.

[Nancy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Miranda never disappoints and these Indie Rebels are great!!! Aidan is a Indie Rebel and has to keep everything a secret. Felicity has dealt with an abusive relationship which leads her to the line of work she does. There is an attraction from the moment they meet, but between his work and her trust issues will they ever be able to make the relationship work? Once Aiden knows she's in danger all bets are off. Between the twists, turns, suspense and steam from these two I could not get enough of their road to happiness.

[Alyssa]

Aidan’s work with the Indie Rebels is quite admirable, but you can definitely see the contradictory emotions that he shows when he meets Felicity. She isn’t really looking for a relationship and he can’t tell her about his missions, despite him desperately wanting to as he gets to know her better. I think that the draw that these two have to one another is so strong that it makes you hope for their future together. It really makes this story captivating to read.

This is a good book to curl up and read and enjoy the couple that has eyes for each other. Some drama not too much. Its a story of what the heart wants the heart gets. Aidan has a complicated job and just wants to make sure that Felicity is safe and no harm after her past experiences. Miranda has you second-guessing what will happen next. Enjoyed this book a lot.

This is the 5th book in the Indie Rebels series. I believe this is also the first book I have read by Miranda P. Charles. This is part of a series, but it could be read as a standalone. I didn't have any trouble following the storyline. This book has a lot to offer including romance, danger, mystery, and suspense. It will keep you glued to the pages from the very beginning.

A book about Adian who is a indie rebel.
He starts a relationship with Felicity but things go wrong when he can't tell her the truth about his job.

A wonderful story. I really enjoyed it. Felicity is such a great character and runs a wonderful group for woman.
Aidan has a really big heart and cares for Felicity so much.

Loved it!
Aidan has given 20 years of his life to the Indie Rebels, it gives his life purpose but is ruinous on his love life. When he meets Felicity though, his feelings are such that he asks to be made inactive; until that is he realises that her life is in danger and he bends over backwards to protect her!

I am really enjoying the "Indie Rebels"! This is the fifth story in the series and is just as good as the ones that came before it. I love the characters and the plot! I love Aidan and Felicity! Although that do not have a smooth path tow each other they are definitely great together and for each other! I love the suspense and intrigue in this intense story.

Aidan

The action, intensity, drama of this story was superior at its best. Aidan is one of the best at his positions, which also keeps him tied to his job, not leaving time for a relationship. Join in this story as he meets someone who has feelings for him, then there is issues with his position. Great story, join in for a mysterious, intense ride. ❤️Loved it.

I could not wait to read the next IR book and catch up with them.
There was a lot of twist and turns and sometimes it is hard to know who to trust.
But in the end, so glad that Aiden found someone who accepts him as he is.
