Synopsis (Goodreads):
He’s relentless. He’s aggressive. His armor is scarred to hell.
Toth Krag is infamous among bounty hunters. Nobody has ever seen his face and lived to tell the tale. He doesn’t fail. He doesn’t quit. And he doesn’t take prisoners. But maybe he’s getting soft. For once, he showed mercy, and no good deed goes unpunished, so now he’s tracking the deadbeats who run Volant’s Fabulous Spectacle.

She’s casual. She’s spontaneous. She never liked Earth that much anyway.
Yara Duncan is always at the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s how she wound up as the human attraction in a space circus. Frankly, it’s the best gig she’s ever had. Aliens pay to watch her eat and do puzzles, and she gets to see the galaxy free of charge. She’s enjoying the adventure, until the scariest hunter in the universe shows up. For some reason, he thinks she’s in charge, and he’s determined to drag her back to face his employers.

Yara doesn’t run from her problems, and Krag doesn’t know what to do with a human who seems more interested in what he looks like under his armor. This time, the hunter becomes the hunted in the wildly unpredictable game of love...
Thoughts on Renegade Love: I'm really digging these aliens and the humans who end up falling for them despite all the roadblocks in their collective ways. I mean, Krag is a menacing mercenary who starts out as an utter grump and Yara doesn't let that stop her from charming (although Krag looks at is more as confounding) the heck out of the poor guy.

Every other living being scurries in the opposite direction when Krag appears. Yara cheerfully follows him. She makes friendly overtures. She doesn't cringe when he growls and makes threats. She confuses Krag and gives him options (of a sort) when he thought he didn't have any.

On Yara's end, she's used to life kicking her in the teeth and that hasn't changed since she ended up on the other end of the universe. She's also extremely adaptable. So when Krag comes for her, she goes with the flow and waits to see if there's a way she can wiggle her way out of whatever situation she's about to be deposited in.

Somehow, she not only cracks the shell around Krag's heart, she also hooks up with a couple other humans, plans a heist, and causes all manner of havoc. Because humans are VERY good at causing havoc when they have the proper motivation.

A surly hunter and a sunshine-y human, a little steam, a few sparks, and an unexpected family reunion. Good times!
