Remember Rubi? Lexi’s best friend with abandonment issues who was a little over the top and completely scared sh**less of commitment, well she’s back. She’s nowhere near normal, but that is one of thing things that is driving Wesley Lawson crazy.There’s no doubt there is attraction, but Wes has started to become a good friend to Rubi over the last few months. Worried that bring sex into the mix would ruin everything, Rubi continues to deny the heat that is building between these two. Rubi’s never known unconditional love other than from her best friend Lexi, her mother died and her father was as absent as they come. A relationship with Wes beyond friendship will just make it hurt that much worse when he abandons her too.Wes has always gone for the sweet girl next door, paper-perfect marriage material. But when Wes meets Rubi he can’t help but be drawn to her. She’s feisty, she’s a little out of control and she is absolutely nothing like the girls he has ever dated. Wes is slowly starting to realize that he has been searching for the right girl in all the wrong places. Now he just has to convince Rubi that they can be friends and still have hot-sweaty sex. All the while as Wes slowly starts to break down the fortress that Rubi has built around her heart.Okay, so let’s just start with saying that this series is eff’n hot. The Renegade boys are panty-dropping-swoon-worthy-sex-on-legs book boyfriends. Although I felt that this fell a tad bit short from Reckless, this was one h*ll of a romance.Rubi was slightly annoying in the way that most insecure with love & feelings, heroines can be. But it wasn't enough to put me off of her completely. She was completely scared of pursuing a relationship, but she did take the leaps when needed, even if she second guessed it seconds afterwards.And the sex. THE F***ING SEX!There were two scenes in this that completely had me ready to hump the nearest male. First the club scene, holy h*ll. And just when I thought that could not be topped, I was proven wrong. Chocolate ice cream has never been more of a turn on. I was not prepared for the panting that happened when he turned her p*ssy into his very own ice cream sundae.Skye Jordan has one hell of a series on her hand with these boys. I loved how we continue to see Jax & Lexi’s relationship move forward along with the rest of the boys, ensuring that we are all impatiently waiting for their story to be told. Her writing style is strong and her characters are completely lovable. I have a feeling Rachel will snag her very own Renegade down the road and that she might end up being the aggressor in the situation.**ARC received on behalf of Season Publishing from NetGalley.
