Oh man, what a bittersweet and epic ending!! I shouldn’t even have to say this, but if you haven’t read the Rook & Ronin series, the Ford book and the novellas then you have no business reading this review. Seriously. Get your ass up and go buy them because J.A. Huss wrote one mind-blowing series that is sitting pretty on my Must Read List. If you’re still reading, then I’m assuming you’ve read all the prior books and so I’m gonna go ahead and spoil the s*** out of ‘em ;)It actually kind of tears me up inside—just an itty bit—to let go of my fave group of badass con-artists. I wholeheartedly fell in love with each and every character, even Ronin though it was touch and go there for a bit in the beginning. It’s really hard to choose which book is my favorite, so I won’t even attempt it. But it must be said, I loved the writing in Guns so much more. I’m not sure if it’s because of the awesome flashbacks that Spencer and Ronnie have or the fact that those two probably have the most entertaining and wittiest thought processes ever. And that’s saying something, because if you read Ford’s book then you know he was quite the character. No, but seriously. Spencer and Ronnie are the last two that we finally get to read about, even though they play big roles in the previous books, you don’t get to really understand what they’re all about. It’s intriguing, really. All you get are the basics with a few tantalizing scenes that totally pique your interest. And now after reading Bomb and Guns, everything all makes so much more sense and the loose ends get tied up nice and neat.I’ve got to say that as far as all the couples go in the series, Spencer’s unique brand of sex appeal was off the charrrrrts hot!! Oh my gawd, there’s one scene where he’s using his “talents” that seriously had me on the brink, it was amazingggg! You’ll know what I’m talking about when you read it, and you’ll never think of paint the same. Ever. Spencer and Ronnie’s history and current predicaments only want to make you root for them to have a happily ever after. It’s really hard not to fall in love with them.Finally, the one thing that I’ve said since I began reviewing this series is that J.A. Huss is an incredibly talented writer. She does not fail. She’s a beast and a goddess of writing. The way she creates scenes so vivid that you automatically visualize them is beyond anything I’ve read. But the one thing she excelled at in Guns, is tying in each couple’s story lines and interweaving it with the final ending flawlessly and seamlessly. Each character, old and new, gets their own spotlight equally without taking away from Spencer and Ronnie. It was great, really enjoyable. And necessary too, because in a way the group as a whole stands as one character, The Team…and for the Team it all came to an end.I am so thrilled to have followed this series with each new installment and grateful to have had the opportunity to review them. I can’t express how much love I have for the writer and the series, and I can’t help but recommend it. You guys will all love this kickass story.
