Publisher's summary

They're here. They ride. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Born of a match between good and evil, four siblings stand between hell's minions and everything they want to destroy. They are the Lords of Deliverance, and they have the power to ward off Doomsday...or let it ride....

Rogue Rider Jillian Cardiff came to this remote mountain town to forget the demon attack that almost killed her. Instead, she rescues - and falls for - a gorgeous stranger who has no memory of anything other than his name. Handsome, charming, and protective, Reseph seems like the kind of man whom Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man who can be very dangerous....

Reseph may not know why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbors are killed, and demon hunters arrive on the scene, Reseph fears that he's putting Jillian in danger. And once it's revealed that Reseph is also Pestilence, the Horseman responsible for ravaging the world, he and Jillian must face the greatest challenge of all: Can they forget the horrors of a chilling past to save the future they both desire?

Reseph's Redemption

What a GREAT ending to the Lords of Deliverance series. Although I wasn't crazy about book 3, this one more then made up for it. Reseph was so horrible in the previous three books that I found it hard to believe the author could possibly make his redemption believable. Thankfully I was so wrong! You will absolutely fall in love with Reseph in this book. Ms. Ione did a brilliant job of making it feel real and not forced.

I want to give this book 5 stars all around, but again I didn't care for the narrator (just a personal preference).

Overall this is a credit worthy listen and a must read for fans of the series.

Riding with Pestilence.

I have really enjoyed this series. Don't start with this one though, start with the Demonica series first. I wasn't sure how this one was going to end up and was pleasantly surprised how well it work out. Now I am impatiently waiting for Reaver's book which I am hoping isn't going to be the last. Narrator is good. Other series to consider if you like this one is Gena Showalters Lord of the Underworld series.

I LOVE the entire Lords of Deliverence Series!

Would you consider the audio edition of Rogue Rider to be better than the print version?

Never read the print....so N/A

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rogue Rider?

Hard to say...the entire storyline arc just comes together. And Pestilence is redeemed.

What does Erin Bennett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Wonderful narrator. She voices the characters clearly (i.e. gives then their own "voice/identity" so the listener is never confused as to who is speaking. She also infuses the characters and her "lines" with feelings and emotes properly.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's really hard to say. I was moved and captivated throughout the entire book (and the whole series).

Any additional comments?

I saw on Amazon that there will be another installment titles Reves (the angel). Would love to see it on audible as well whenever it comes out.

Loved loved looooved Reseph's story!

Smoking hot horseman of the apocalypse- checked
Dark misterious complex story- checked
Sizzling hot love scenes- checked
Melt your heart romance- checked
Great Happily Ever After that leaves you wanting more- checked

This is a five star story as every other Larissa Ione book. I highly recommend the whole series but it MUST be listened to in order. This is a complex world that the author developed and you can get lost if you do not follow the order.

Narration: I dont particularly like Erin Bennett as a narrator. She tends to go into "robot mode" and doesn't really add that intensity to the story that I expect from top narrators.

This book needed to be longer!

This particular installment is one that you have to have read the previous books to fully grasp the activities in this book. We start off almost immediately after the last book ended, finding Reseph butt-naked (no complaints here) in the middle of snow, snow, and more snow where a kind-hearted and self-sacrificing Jillian finds him and drags him to her cabin to nurse him to health.

Reseph is not what I had expected because as a spectator, I've only ever saw him as Pestilence. Even though there were intermittent memories brought on by his siblings as to the type of person he was before his seal broke, it was hard not to see him as absolute evil. The Reseph we are introduced to in this book is playful and so very sexual I felt almost sorry and jealous (ha!) for Jillian. There was no way for her to win the battle of her heart when it came to him. Reseph on the other hand falls hard for her and even without the full capacity of his memories, he knows he loves her and is positive he never felt that way about another female. Their love story is sweet and Ione does a fantastic job at softening the reader to Reseph and she is a master at creating caring and loving, yet insanely badass chicks as we see in Jillian.

My biggest complaint with this book is that it needed to be longer! Reseph had a lot of ground to cover after the destruction he had done and I felt like the story moved very quickly, but not in a fast-paced, action-packed way, but in a way that left the reader detached from all the happenings. Results or after-maths were told in dialogue rather than shown. I think I had the same issue in the last installment where I felt like the story was not as richly depicted. I also was expecting a bigger to-do when they came up against the Aegis, especially after what happened in the last book, but when the scene came I was a bit disappointed. I mean I'm not looking for a Michael Bay rendition, but more of the complexity and development of the characters during these types of situations. Also (I always seem to whine about this, but I can't help it, I love the characters in this series) I wish there was more of the past characters besides the four horsemen, i.e. the Sem brothers and their growing family.

I guess I'm just being greedy. I love the Lod and Demonica series that Ione has created and I want more.

There is a huge revelation and when that part came around I was whooping. Yup, whooping and yelling "I knew it, I knew it," around people who didn't know I was "plugged" in (*^.^*) which then required some explanation as to what I knew.

I can't wait for the next installment! It's gonna be brilliant I can feel it! I hope Ione doesn't stop writing this series because it is one of the best!

This series you should read in order. The four horsemen are each sexy, strong, and have great personality.

Awesome

All the above and more.

Hot Chocolate and great humor

Where does Rogue Rider rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Of the stories in this series, this one is one of the best. Best dialogue of the series, as the author had to put all the books together, but still keep your interest without making it a commercial informercial

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rogue Rider?

when the group is together holding the baby at the BBQ

Which character – as performed by Erin Bennett – was your favorite?

Erin is the best reader in this series. Her female voice is very good, great pace. Her male voice could be deeper, but the dialogue in this story is fast pace so, it is a great listen.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I am not a great fan of paranormal, so this one is a great one for the genre.

Great series

Would you consider the audio edition of Rogue Rider to be better than the print version?

It is good to have audio if your eye sight is felling you or if you need something to listen to besides music. Audio and print version is about the same. The series is really good. I would listen and read it again.

What did you like best about this story?

How the good of love over powers evil.

What about Erin Bennett’s performance did you like?

Great narrator. Smooth flow

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes
