Review: Excellent, super-steamy addition to an already scorching series!

Absolutely loved this steamier side of one of my already-favourite authors, Joan Swan (writing as Skye Jordan)! The friends-to-lovers trope can be a tricky one for me, but it Ms. Jordan pulled it off flawlessly. I thoroughly enjoyed the existing connection between Wes and Rubi and each step they took on the way to becoming lovers, which did not feel rushed or unrealistic. And that heat and chemistry? Whew, I'm still fanning myself, and I think my Kindle may be permanently fried.I loved both Wes and Rubi (even if I was tempted to smack Rubi upside the head a few times). Unlike a lot of heroes, Wes is honest and upfront and just puts it all out there, which was incredibly refreshing. And, well, let's not even get into his sheer hotness. The man may be just about perfect. Too bad he's fictional-- he's probably my new favourite book boyfriend :). Rubi has that combination of smarts, sass, and vulnerability that I find incredibly appealing. She's had a shite childhood that has shaped who she's become and severely warped her view of relationships, but watching how much she grows and develops with Wes's help is incredibly rewarding.Cannot wait to see what else Skye Jordan has in store for the Renegades universe, and who's next!
