Sassy, smart, and sexy, former supermodel-turned-tech guru Rubi Russo has it all—looks, money, confidence and freedom. Her life is a whirlwind of fast cars and fleeting affairs—and she likes it that way. With a past like Rubi’s, forever isn’t part of her vocabulary. So when studly Renegade stuntman Wes Lawson wants to take their friendship to the next level, she’s all out.Raised a simple country-boy, Wes knows the brazen Rubi isn’t his type. But after spending time with her, he discovers she’s everything he’s ever wanted in a woman. To win her wild rebel heart, he’ll have to prove he sees behind her smokescreen to all the goodness she tries to hide. Then it’s just a matter of crushing her fears, shattering her barriers, and convincing her that loving him is everything she’s been missing in her life, too.Piece of cakeReview:This book is sexy, sassy and has enough emotion to engage and entertain the reader!Have to say I loved the first book and was hoping the second one was just as good, and boy was it ever!I really enjoyed Rubi and Wes' story, they both have to take a leap of faith and trust in each other if they are ever going to get past the obstacles in their path. Rubi's trust issues really make a rocky road for these two, but once she takes that leap she tries really hard to overcome her fears. Rubi, is a super smart, sexy and vulnerable, though she would never admit it. She has been neglected by her father for years and that has really shaped how she views relationships. I think Rubi is excellently written and I really felt for her. I wanted to smack her Dad around for her because he was such an ass. Wes, has been dating "safe" girls for years, but when he gets to know Rubi, he takes his own leap. At first he uses their attraction to try to get close to Rubi, who just wants to "friends with benefits", when does that ever work how the person wants it to?? Luckily, it leads to so much more where these two are concerned. Speaking of benefits, the sexy scenes with these two are off the charts hot!! I did get a little nervous near the end of the story when Wes leaves Rubi to help the old girlfriend, without giving too much away, I almost had doubts that they would have their HEA.This was a great, well-rounded story and the author has a writing style that draws you into the story and the characters.I cannot wait to see what the deal is with the Renegades secretary Rachel.4.5 stars
