About "Three Kinds of Wicked"
http://threekindsofwicked.com/index.html
Trey, a time-striding demigod, spends his life skipping through the human timeline and reuniting couples torn apart by evil forces. Sworn to chastity, sworn to protect those he serves, Trey's own desires must never be expressed.
But on a mission to the Summer of Love, Trey meets Sage, a free spirit with a broken heart, and Russ, a scarred POW with a broken mind. His mission is to reunite Sage and Russ. But passion claims them, and their love triggers a destruction and chaos unmatched by any evil. By rights, Trey should be executed for breaking his vows.
Instead, he is sentenced to a new kind of servitude. With his chastity no longer an issue, he must find broken human couples and heal them sexually. Only after healing these broken bonds of love will Trey heal the broken human timeline. Only after reuniting these predestined pairs through his physical love will Trey be reunited with Sage.
Watch each month for a new "Three Kinds of Wicked" release, starting in July 2009, from Red Sage Publishing. The first story in the series, "Wicked Temptation," unleashes the dangerous passion between Trey, Sage, and Russ. Each following stand-alone story explores Trey's efforts to physically reunite another couple in the preordained human timeline. The series ends with "Wicked Redemption," the companion to "Wicked Temptation," which brings Trey, Russ, and Sage together again.
RENEGADE & HIS REBEL EXCERPT
“No one’s going to shoot anyone, goddamn it.” Renegade took three more steps toward her.
She swung the weapon back around, aiming it at his black heart. “Get back, you slimy lizard.”
His boot heel skidded on the sawdust floor. He held his hands up. “Whoa. Take it easy, Rebel.”
“Take it easy, my ass. I’ve been mad as a peeled rattler for going on six months now, so you’d best watch yourself. If you don’t get back, as God is my witness, LaMarr, I’ll shoot you. I swear I will.”
“Jesus Christ, do you have to call me LaMarr?” Renegade shoved a hand through his hair in that all-male way that used to make her feel fluttery inside. Repeat, used to. His next words came out none too tender. And it riled her all the more. “You know it’s Renegade, goddamn it.”
Yeah, she knew it was Renegade, all right. The coward’s name had been a toxin contaminating her brain for months, and a name she’d banned, guns at the ready, from Moose Junction. Still, he didn’t have to know that. He also didn’t need to know that if her heart beat any faster over his return, she’d faint dead away. But doggone it, if her hands got any shakier, that bastard would be the one fainting permanently dead away.
Stand your ground, Rebel. Don’t let him get to you. Don’t fall for that sappy tone he always resorted to when he wanted some¬thing out of you. “Well, instead of Renegade, I prefer to call you a pisspot, son of a—”
“Cassie.” Trey’s deep, soothing voice approached her from be¬hind. “Put the gun down, sweetheart.”
Dang. When did he show up? His footsteps, soft as a cat’s, inched closer. He circled his strong arms around her and guided the rifle upward so the barrel aimed at the ceiling. He’d only been in town and in her bed for a few weeks, but he had an uncanny, calm¬ing effect on her, like some sort of angel. The rage seeped out of her limbs on an exhaled breath, and she relaxed against the wall of Trey’s chest. He’d called her by her given name, something no one in this hellhole ever did. It made her feel wanted and womanly for once.
Now that was a curious revelation.
But one she’d never admit to a soul.
Renegade’s muscles tensed and his gaze riveted to Trey. Some¬thing almost territorial flashed in Renegade’s eyes. It reminded her of a wolf eyeing his competition with lips curled back and fangs bared.
Holy stinking moles, is Renegade jealous?
Renegade blinked. “Who the hell’s he?”
“Name’s Trey Raphael,” he replied, his voice overflowing with respect Renegade clearly didn’t deserve. Trey gently tugged the rifle from her loosening grip.
Renegade loomed nearer, halting his smug stroll directly in front of her. He stood so close that she had to tip her head back to gaze up into his chiseled, hard features. Memories assailed her of that same face hovering above her in their wedding bed, contorted in ecstasy while he gently entered her. She held her breath and attempted to slow the galloping in her chest and the quickening of her loins. But it was no damn use. His familiar leathery scent en¬gulfed her, further enhancing the memory. But this time it became entwined with the wintry aroma of Trey behind her. The heat from Renegade’s formidable body competed with that from Trey’s, whose sinewy arms continued to encircle her from behind while his hands claimed her rifle.
An outlandish vision filled her head of being wedged between the two men while in a much more intimate position than a bar¬room spat. But the fantasy abruptly vanished when Renegade drew a bowie knife and held the sharp tip against Trey’s throat.
Rebel pulled in a sharp intake of breath and gulped amid the wave of gasps and whispers that erupted from the tavern regulars.
Renegade’s order came with a guttural, deadly roar. “You son of a bitch, get your goddamn hands off my woman.”

Description: Where in time is Trey?
This month, Trey, the time-striding demigod, finds himself in the American wild west. Gunfights, destroyed saloons, and outlaw justice are tame in comparison to Cassie "Rebel" Thatcher. She shoots like a man. She cusses like a man. She runs a ranch like a man. But when it comes to loving, she's all woman -- or she will be, once Trey teaches her the value of self-acceptance.
When her deserting cad of a husband Renegade LaMarr reappears in Moose Junction, Rebel's as mad as a peeled rattler and prepared to shoot the handsome coward right out of his boots.
Armed with a secret and determined to get rid of Trey, Renegade plots to finally claim Rebel, chaps, boy breeches and all. Only problem is, before he can draw his six-shooter and declare a challenge, Renegade finds himself falling under Trey’s magical spell right along with his passionate, spitfire wife.
To My Readers: I’ve always loved a Calamity Jane heroine and the flabbergasted handsome hero set on taming her. Get ready for a shoot-‘em-up romantic, very sexy western adventure with cowboy Renegade LaMarr and his spunky Rebel, aka Cassie Thatcher!
Renegade LaMarr is back in town and Cassandra “Rebel” Thatcher LaMarr is far from happy to see her wayward husband. He’s been gone nearly 6 months with no word and she is not in the mood to have him back in her life. Especially since she thinks the only reason he’s back is because he heard about her finding gold.
Renegade is back to take his rightful place as Rebel’s husband, but he has a secret. One he’s not quite willing to share with his not so loving wife. Not until he finds out who arranged for him to be gone from her life, and what the rest of the plot is. He knows there is one and has a pretty good idea who is the cause of it.
Can these two get through the past and the plot against them to get a happily ever after? Well that’s what Trey is there to make sure happens. Trey has his own mission to complete and keeping Renegade and Rebel together is a big part of it. How he’s going to do that could be tricky or highly erotic, time would tell.
Renegade and His Rebel is the 4th novella in a series by various authors. All revolve around Trey and his mission on earth. While this is part of a series it’s also a well written, well developed stand alone novella. The characters are believable and honest. They have their faults and insecurities, something all of us can identify with. The plot moves along so well you’ll be at the end before you know it. You’ll also be going “Darn it, I want more.”
I really enjoyed this work and eagerly await the opportunity to read the rest of the series. While this is an excellent stand alone work, I think reading the works in order will fill in some of the missing information. Although there isn’t so much missing that you’re completely lost in the story.
Special Notes: This is an erotic work and as such should be read and stored with care. It contains explicit descriptions of sexual activity as well as hints of same sex sexual interaction and therefore should not be read by those who have a problem with same sex relationships or who those who prefer a less graphic description.
RENEGADE AND HIS REBEL BY TITANIA LADLEY
4 ½ Delightful Divas!!!!
"I have always enjoyed historical western romance, and I thought throwing in an erotic ménage would be quite interesting. Boy, was it ever!
Renegade and His Rebel by Titania Ladley captured my attention from the first page and I couldn't stop reading until I was done.
Renegade and His Rebel is fun and adventure from start to finish. Rebel, aka Cassie, is a fantastic and entertaining lady. I loved her quick temper, and soon learned that beneath that tough exterior lay an injured girl that only wanted recognition. Her transformation from devil-may-care tomboy to sensual woman was extremely satisfying.
This is a fast paced book with a smooth flow. I loved the western language and tone that Titania gave to the whole book. It made for a realistic read, even when a touch of paranormal snuck into the story. If you are looking for a quick, hot read that will have you laughing one minute and fanning the flames of desire in the next, then I recommend that you pick up Renegade and His Rebel as soon as you can!"

Renegade & His Rebel ~ Three Kinds of Wicked • Book 4- by Titania Ladley
This month, Trey, the time-striding demigod, finds himself in the American wild west. Gunfights, destroyed saloons, and outlaw justice are tame in comparison to Cassie "Rebel" Thatcher. She shoots like a man. She cusses like a man. She runs a ranch like a man. But when it comes to loving, she's all woman -- or she will be, once Trey teaches her the value of self-acceptance.
When her deserting cad of a husband Renegade LaMarr reappears in Moose Junction, Rebel's as mad as a peeled rattler and prepared to shoot the handsome coward right out of his boots.
Armed with a secret and determined to get rid of Trey, Renegade plots to finally claim Rebel, chaps, boy breeches and all. Only problem is, before he can draw his six-shooter and declare a challenge, Renegade finds himself falling under Trey’s magical spell right along with his passionate, spitfire wife.
Ever have that one good thing, but have it taken away before you could enjoy it? Did you wonder why you lost it? Then you need to read Renegade and His Rebel.
Ms. Ladley writes an interesting take on the Wild West. From the first page, you are drawn into the story and not let go until far beyond the last page. Talk about starting with guns blazing and firing! This story is just that. I like how Ms. Ladley paints a picture of what life might have been like back then. Now you must remember there are paranormal tones to this story, so what you see isn’t always what you get. Sometimes, it’s way more.
Rebel aka Cassie is a fun heroine. She doesn’t take guff from anyone—even the husband who abandoned her on her wedding night. I like how she is capable of defending herself, even to the point of pushing others away. Although I thought it a bit tacky that she took another man once her husband went to jail, I understood her reasoning.
Renegade makes a fine hero. You don’t know why he’s in jail until a good way through the story, but it makes him elusive and predatory. He’s the epitome of an alpha male and it’s so nice. You see he’s emotionally wounded and uses his gruff attitude to hide it. You want to hug the man even when he’s being a pain in the butt.
Now you must understand there is a third part of the relationship that makes the sex hotter, the passion deeper, and draws the reader further into the story. I’ve read a couple of other stories with the elusive Trey. He’s there to help couples in need of an emotional bandage. At the same time, he unlocks passions within the couple that lingered silently under the surface. He definitely makes it hotter when he’s around.
If you want a fun western-themed story, with oodles of sex, tons of passion, and the most unique hero and heroine, then you need to read Renegade and His Rebel. I give this story 4 cherries.
