From #1 New York Times bestseller Lora Leigh comes the final book in the Moving Violations trilogy, Her Renegade Cowboy! He will risk his life... The oh-so-proper school teacher, Lily Donovan has learned, the hard way, that men are not to be trusted. Period. Until Levi Roberts, the new cowboy working at her cousin's ranch, tempts her carefully-built resolve and awakens an all-consuming passion she thought lay dormant. But when she discovers his deadly secret, and her own secrets come to light, Lily unwittingly joins the lethal cat and mouse race between Levi and the man he’s been hunting for weeks. To save her heart... Former Ranger Levi Roberts has seen his fair share of deadly trouble during his years as a tough-as-nails operative. The ultimate expert in undercover investigations, he’s been tasked to find a man with a dangerous agenda in town. Routine work has been boring...until he runs into Lily, the prickly school teacher who tempts him like no other. Getting under her skin has been deliciously satisfying for his red-hot desire, but when Lily lands in the hands of the very man he’s been investigating, Levi will have to fight with every ounce of his heart and soul to save her—and to heal the heart he broke. “Leigh’s books can scorch the ink off the page.”—RT Book Reviews

Her Renegade Cowboy by Lora Leigh is the third book to the Moving Violation series. A contemporary novel with some elements of suspense involving a school teacher and an undercover U.S. Marshall.

Lily Donovan is a school teacher who has no trust in men outside of her family. Due to a traumatic assault that occurred the year past, she has been secretly struggling to get past it. Unfortunately, the person who assaulted her has escaped and is coming for her. While it was suggested that she goes into the witness protection program, she adamantly refuses.

Levy Roberts is an undercover U.S. Marshall posing as a cowboy as he is on the lookout for the fugitive responsible for Lily’s nightmares. It is not an easy task to look after Lily and keep his secret.

The longer Lily and Levy spend together, the harder it is for them to keep the secrets they are withholding from each other.

Although it was the third novel in the series, I feel like it was not needed to read the other books prior to this particular one. It was an enjoyable read but might leave some readers frustrated with the main female character’s stubbornness of refusing help when needed.

I've been waiting not so patiently for this 3rd book in the Moving Violations series. Thankfully I got an ARC from NetGalley and slaked my thirst early!

Lily Donovan used to be the life of the party. She worked as hard as she partied but something changed this hellion into the cynical, buttoned-up female she shows the world. She loves her family and doesn't want to admit to them that her bad choices left her in a world of hurt. She knows they'll circle the wagons around her and face off any foe but she is determined to face it all on her own.

Enter Levi Roberts, a new hire at her cousin's ranch. There is something about him that draws her to him. She knows she is safe with hm because her cousin does DEEP background checks on people he allows around family. She and Levi are drawn together but there are subtle hints that being a ranch hand is not all he's doing! 

I loved the chemistry between Levi and Lily. he draws her out of her protective shell and back into the land of the living. Similarly Lily gives Levi something other than work to focus on. Should he have come clean at the start? Sure, but let's face it Lily would have chased him off and ended up in a world of more hurt. I really enjoyed the storyline and the unfurling of what happened to Lily.

As someone who has been through something similar, I wasn't triggered but others may be. I thought it was handled with tact and sympathy and it wasn't exaggerated or exploited to make the plot move on. 

There are lots of great secondary characters that I'd love to see more of. Justice, though, man I could slap him! He doesn't understand tact, diplomacy, or handle-with-care! I can't wait to see who or what puts him through the wringer!
