WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY REQUIRE FREQUENT FANNING OF YOUR LADY BITSRicochet by Skye Jordan (Joan Swan) is the third book in the Renegade series. All the books in the series are connected and share supporting characters but Ricochet works fine as a stand-alone. Although sequential, this series isn’t one where previous events are continually alluded to, making it easy to just jump right in. For readers that like to read series books in order, start with Reckless (a favorite of mine!).Sparks fly immediately between Nathan and Rachel when they meet at the airport bar. Rachel thinks Nathan is just a random, insanely hot stranger, and is perfect for a no strings hook-up. Unfortunately, Nathan isn’t an anonymous stranger at all, he’s actually in town to work as the newest consultant to Renegades, the stunt company Rachel works for. But Nathan, realizing that Rachel will likely cut things off when she finds out his identify, keeps quiet and things get all kinds of steamy.“...you are such a sweet surprise.”He lowered his head and suckled her lips. Stroked them with his tongue. Nibbled on the bottom one until her fingers dug into his arm, and she groaned. He moved the hand on her thigh higher. And higher. So warm. So soft. “You feel like heaven,” he whispered against her cheek. “Bet you taste like candy.”Her hand released, flexed, released, and she pressed her pelvis against his hip, rubbing on him like a cat. One he wanted to pet all over.“I can’t wait to get my mouth on you,” he whispered, kissing her temple, her hair. “Lick you everywhere.” The more he talked, the closer she pressed. By the time they got to the hotel, she’d be dripping. “Thank God we have all night, because before the sun comes up, baby, I’m going to have tasted every…literal…inch of you.”Unfortunately, when Rachel finds out Nathan’s true identity, she’s less than happy. With both characters having issues, Rachel’s related to a bad break-up and Nathan's to his time in the military and PTSD, there’s a lot of obstacles to overcome before this couple get their HEA…I’m a big fan of the Renegade series and Ricochet just cemented that. I loved Nathan as the wounded warrior hero. I loved Rachel as the sassy (but sexy underneath) heroine. These two were HOT HOT HOT together. At around 11% in, I wasn’t sure if should keep reading, stop and post steamy quotes, or message all my friends that Ricochet was going to be a “MUST READ”. I was so excited reading it, I could barely contain myself =)The writing was solid, the story was well thought out, and the steam factor was sizzling and very well done. This was a five star read for me almost all the way through. I’m not sure I loved how the story wrapped up, but overall, I loved Ricochet, I love this series and I love this author. Joan Swan writing as Skye Jordan just does not disappoint. I’m so excited to see what’s next in this series. I’m guessing we may get Troy’s story but that’s just a guess for now!A super sexy 4.5 STARS!Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
