I’m a bastard and she is the angel who loves me.
Wanting her was never part of the plan. She came into my life when I needed to be saved. She saved me from a loveless marriage and myself.
She doesn’t know how much she’s changed my life in a few years, but I owe her everything.
They say you can’t change a whore into a housewife, but to me she was never a whore. She was my escape, the one good thing in my life.
We are like oil and water. We fight, we fuck, and we make up.
She tells me I’m a bastard and she’s right, I am. I don’t disagree. She knows exactly the type of man I am. I will go to hell and back to protect what’s mine, and she is mine. She may not realize it yet, but I’m not letting her go.
Your past is never really gone. Trust me I learned the hard way. My past wanted all of me and I wasn’t ready to give up yet. Fighting for her and my family is the only thing that I am good at, and I won’t back down.

K. Renee is from sunny, California. Creative by nature, she decided to put her imagination to paper. K. Renee is an avid reader. During the day she works in an office and at night she writes. These stories have been in her head for years and are finally coming out on paper.
I tried to stay away, but every time I pushed her away, she fell harder.
I took away her innocence and I don’t regret a damn thing.
She owns me. Mind. Body. Soul.
I never wanted to lose her, but I did. I’m a monster and she knows it. She’s seen the darkness in me and she ran as far as she could. I had plans to bring her back, but I saw the happiness written on her face. When threats surface, I bring her home where she belongs, kicking and screaming.
The sins I’ve committed leave scars on her body and soul. She hates me for what I’ve done and I don’t blame her. I’ve killed for her and I will kill again if need be.
The only thought that I fear is losing her forever. Losing her forever will be my downfall. Losing her temporarily drove me to the edge. I won’t let her go without a fight. She’s the light and I’m the dark. I’m the sins and she’s the scars.
I’ve ruined her.
I love her.
I would rather fall on my own knife than lose my only saving grace.

Running was all I ever did. I tried to get away from a man that hurt me and I ended up in the path of a temptation that I couldn’t resist. I wanted Raef more than my next breath, but he didn’t want me. I tried like hell to fight my attraction towards him, but I couldn’t. He was everything I wanted and everything I never knew I needed.
Raef
My old man was punishing me for God knows what. He sent me down to Sacramento to clean up their mess and instead I ended up finding her. She’s like a damn breath of fresh air in this otherwise suffocating life. My attraction to her can land me on the wrong side of a gun, but it’s a chance I’m willing to take. She’s a temptation that I can’t ignore and one that I don’t regret.
My Review:
When I started reading this book I was a little skeptical. Sailor doesn't come across as the strongest female character. She seems a little dependent on others. As I read the book, Sailor kind of grew on me. She proves to be someone who can stand on her own two feet. I loved Raef's character. He is perfect for Sailor. The romance between Raef and Sailor isn't conventional, it's fast paced but it seems to work for them.
The book left me shocked after reading it. I never expected the author to take the turn she did. It gives the story an element that it was lacking, strong emotional feel.
I love the author's version of MC romance. It's not ladened with violence like other books of the same genre. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait for the next one.
Watching Sailor for a minute, I can’t help but think about her silky soft skin under those blankets and clothes. Every inch of my skin comes alive when she touches me. I know my brothers are going to have a fucking field day with that if I ever told them, which is exactly why I won’t ever tell them.
“Raef,” she mumbles in her sleep. Watching her, I see that her eyes are still closed, and her lips are parted. She quietly moans, and I can feel my dick harden. She rolls onto her back, and she lets out another moan.
“Raef,” she says again. She doesn’t ever open her eyes, and I have a feeling that she is having a dream. “Mmm,” she moans louder. Fuck, I need to get the fuck out of here, before I do something I’m going to regret.
Walking out the door, I shut it behind me. I make my way to the clubhouse, and straight to the bar. Pulling up a stool, I look to my left, and see Striker nursing a beer.
When he looks at me, I can see the anger in his face. He’s pissed that I’ve come between him and Sailor. I have a feeling that he’s about to run his mouth at me again. Little does he know that I am not going down without a fight.
If he comes at me again, I won’t think twice about putting him on the ground again. This time, I definitely won’t go easy on him either. I’m fucking done listening to his bullshit excuses. I fucking wish that he wasn’t so damn fucking stupid.
“What? You didn’t get enough of her? You have to come find a fucking whore to fuck too?” he sneers.
The prospect hands me a whiskey neat, and I take sip of it, before I turn to face Striker. “I haven’t fucked her, but I know for a fact that you won’t be fucking her either. So why don’t you just stay the fuck away from her and mind your own damn business? I know for sure that you don’t have any claim over my dick, so mind your own fucking business.”
He gets up off the barstool, and makes his way towards me. Before he can even try to swing at me again, someone grabs him, and pulls him away from me. “Fuck you Raef. You come in here, and try to fucking steal my girl? That fucking shit ain’t cool.”
Shaking my head, I just smirk at him. “She was never yours to begin with. You have some sick fucking delusion that she yours, and trust me fucker, you were never on her radar. Move the fuck on, and leave her alone.”
Interview With Author K. Renee
Thank you for stopping by today. Can you tell the reader’s a little about yourself?
I’m K. Renee and I’m from California. I graduated collage at 20. I hate ketchup; I dip my fries in mustard. I love to quilt and paint. I have one older brother and I have two dogs.
Your latest release is Wayward Temptation; can you tell the readers a little about it?
It’s about an MC member and his quest to find love when he doesn’t want to find it. He is actually on a run to another charter of theirs when he finds the sister on ones of the brothers at the Sacramento charter’s clubhouse. She’s in trouble and he wants to save her. They have ups and downs, but they both have an undeniable attraction to each other. There is action, love and heartbreak, but I think it makes the story what it is.
After reading the book, I have to ask, was this book harder to write than the others?
It was. I originally went in with one story line and when it was over, I kind of sat there and thought, “what the hell just happened?” But honestly, I think it had to be written the way it was to be the powerful story it is.
If you could describe Raef and Sailor’s relationship in three words, what would they be?
Crazy, intense, powerful.
This is book 6 in the Wayward Saints MC, where do you see the series heading in the future?
There will be a few more surprises along the way. I definitely don’t rule anything out. I haven’t even thought about what is coming next, but I do know that it’s going to be different around the clubhouse for book seven.
Do you have to do any special research for the series?
I don’t do a whole lot of research, just the typical medical questions like will someone live with this sort of gunshot wound, or what type of gun the guys should be carrying.
What is your current WIP?
I have about 5. Jaxson. Saint and Sinner. An untitled book. Wrong Kind of Trouble. And Wrong Side of the Law.
Is there any additional information you would like to add?
To stay up to date with all things Wayward Saints and myself, check out my website kreneeauthor.net! Thank you so much for having me and I hope you guys all enjoy the book!

When my eyes finally land on him, I see him watching me. He’s even more handsome than I thought. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath before I open them, and actually look at him.
The grin on his lips makes me nervous, and part of me is unsure of what I’m supposed to do right now.
“Please take a seat,” he finally says. He motions his hand towards the chair next to him. A part of me is afraid to walk by him, so I take the long way around to the other side of the table. I pull the chair out a few feet before I take a seat.
“I won’t bite darlin’,” he drawls out. He gets a devious grin on his face, and I know that he’s probably used that line to get plenty of women in his bed at night.
“Does that line work on all the girls?” I ask with an eyebrow raised. I don’t know where that snottiness came from, but I am mentally high fiving myself right now. I can’t believe that I just said that to him.
I watch as his eyebrow raises, and he smirks at me. “Typically I just tell them how big my dick is, and they practically drop to their knees in front of me.” I scrunch up my nose, and his smile widens even more. “What are you afraid of a big dick?”
I shake my head no, and look at my hands in my lap. I can feel him lean in closer to me, and as much as I want to pull away, I stay right where I am. I won’t let him scare me, or make me nervous. I’ve dealt with someone far worse than him for long enough.
His hand cups my face, almost in a loving manner, and he forces me to look at him. “What kind of trouble are you in?” His voice is soft, almost like he’s trying to make me comfortable. His eyes search mine, and I swear it’s like he already knows the truth.
“I want to help you, but I can’t if you don’t tell me the truth. All of it,” he runs his thumb along my bottom lip, and as much as I want to pull away, something about his touch soothes me. Leaning into his hand, I mentally prepare myself to tell him what I’ve gotten myself into.

L.B. DUNBAR
I'd love to say I've written for 10,000 hours, and that makes me a pro. But I can't say that. What I can say is I had a story in my head that wouldn't go away. I thought typing it in my computer would be the end of things, but it only led to another story and another. I love reading, so characters in my head isn't something new. What is new is my creation of them. Hope you enjoy my favorites as much as I do.
