This third book in the Renegades Stuntmen series has everything I have come to expect from a Skye Jordan book - steamy hot sex, fast paced action and an emotionally riveting plot. This is the story of Nathan (Ryker to his friends) and Rachel. Nathan is on leave from his last military tour, suffering from PTSD due to the tragic loss of his teammates. At the request of his friend Troy, he's come to help out the Renegades with one of their stunts that requires an explosives expert. Rachel is the Renegades office manager. When they meet, Nathan knows who Rachel is, but she isn't aware of their connection. Thrilled with the erotic one night stand she has with the hot stranger she meets at the airport, she's shocked to discover him in her office the next day. The question is whether their sexual connection will be given the chance to develop into a meaningful relationship.Wow! This novel grabs your attention from the first page! Skye knows how to take a sexual attraction and set it on fire, with some of the hottest scenes I've read to date. But more importantly, it's the emotional entanglements that drive the story. Nathan is wonderfully written as a handsome dominant man, on the outside carefree but raging anger and guilt from his PTSD hiding just under the surface. He deals with it with sex and alcohol. Rachel is a feisty heroine coming off of a relationship betrayal and her search for sex without emotion leads her to Nathan. Only, emotion starts to come into play when her feelings for him deepen and vice versa. Rachel realizes that continuing an affair with Nathan is only going to hurt her in the long run but is unable to resist his advances. The internal struggles they both have towards the relationship are handled expertly, alternating points of view giving the reader insight into their thoughts and feelings. Along with their relationship you have a balanced plot filled with stunt action scenes that are obviously well researched. In addition the secondary characters (some of whom have their own stories already) add to the camaraderie, humor, tension and heartwrenching scenes that make up the tale.Be warned, when you start this book, you will be unable to put it down! It has everything an erotic romance should have and will definitely end up on the top of your reread pile. A damaged hero, feisty heroine, hot sex and romance all in one great package. I can't wait for the next installment in this series! 5 steamy stars!
