So, I didn't think that author Skye Jordan could top her previous books in this series but I'll be damned if she didn't.  With each book in this series, she draws her readers in more and more to these characters lives, into the adrenaline fueled work this group does, and she leaves us salivating as to what and who comes next.  Ms. Jordan is a skillful storyteller; I loved the first two books they had a playfulness about them that made me smile on more than one occasion, but Ricochet is deeper, more serious, and the problems the hero and heroine face a little tougher.  A couple in denial of their issues, a sex fueled night, secrets, trust issues and more makes Ricochet a book hard to put down and one I can't wait to read again!I can't tell you how happy I was to see the Renegades office manager/babysitter/gopher, Rachel Hart, find her happily ever after even though it was a tough road.  Rachel is one of those heroines I want to hang out with; she's smart, tough, doesn't take crap off anyone, can keep a company full of men in line, yet she is compassionate a fault, sweet, and friendly.  She's also determined to be a different kind of woman after a painful break-up which leads her to pick up a man in an airport bar for a night of sex.  Little does she know that the man she's chosen is a man she'll see again much sooner than she ever thought possible.Nathan Ryker knows the minute he realizes who the enchanting woman sitting next to him is that he should come clean, but he knows if he does the night will not end like he wants it to. In his defense he does try to tell her, but she insists it's not information she needs to know.  So, he takes her up on her offer of a night of no strings sex not realizing that she may very well change his life.Holy freakin' hotness these two burn up every surface they touch; I'm pretty sure that heat came through my Kindle and scorched my hands as well.  I'm not going to lie for quite a while it seems like the only way these two can communicate is sexually.  They both are hiding from past events that have changed them and it takes them awhile to share and even when they do it's not something either one really wants to do.  These are emotionally scarred individuals who both will willingly give each other everything physically but emotionally is another matter entirely.Things I really loved about this book; the action of blowing up the bridge--everything that went in to doing it, setting it up, getting it right, and getting it on film.  I swear my heart was pumping so hard when these two scenes took place they were that realistic.  The interaction between the men on this team even when they were at odds with one another you can still feel the respect and admiration they feel for each other.  The respect they have for Rachel and know how much she contributes to their team.  I admired Rachel for how hard she tried to help Nathan with his PTSD even when he was being a complete ass.  That Nathan pushed Rachel past her comfort zone and didn't let her hide her sexual needs.  All of these things made an already great book even better.This is a romance that I can appreciate because it shows that the road to happily ever after isn't pretty; it takes real work, there will be ups and downs, mistakes will be made, groveling is sometime necessary, and most of all you can't give up because sometimes it takes some distance and therapy to really make a difference.  Ricochet is another stellar story by author Skye Jordan and I'm already anticipating the next book in what has become one of my favorite action packed romance series!Review copy provided for an honest review.
