"Let’s make an arrangement so you can get on with your day. If you need or want sex, you come to me...…and I’ll give it to you any way you want it, any way you need it."I was so excited to start reading Rebel, the second book in the Renegades series by author Skye Jordan. I absolutely loved Reckless, the first book in the series, and have been waiting for Rebel’s release for months! If you haven't read Reckless, don't worry, Rebel works fine as a stand alone, although Reckless is such a great book, I highly recommend starting there!Rebel focuses on Rubi and Wes, who first were introduced in Reckless. Now that Lexi and Jax are head over heels in love, their two best friends Rubi and Wes get thrown together a lot and become good friends. Wes decides he wants more from Rubi than friendship, he wants a chance at a real relationship. He thinks they’re perfect together. Unfortunately, as fun and free as Rubi came off in Reckless, she has major commitment issues and only entertains offers for one-night stands, not real relationships. Wes may be a hot shot stunt man, but he’s not a one-stand guy type of guy and he dedicates himself to changing Rubi’s mind...He definitely want's Rubi and he wants her for good!Wes is most definitely book boyfriend material. He is a total bad ___ and completely swoon worthy!He slid his mouth from her lips to her cheek, her jaw. "God, I want to suck you," he murmured, keep his fingers light over her _____. Teasing. "I want to lick you. I want to eat you. I want to ____ you with my tongue. So good. It would be so good."(Yep, I believe you Wes, I so believe you!)Top of the industry stunt double, totally sweet, loved by abused dogs, incredibly smart, dedicated to family, MEGA sexy….If he’s not the whole package, I just don’t know who is. Holy HOTNESS!I was a little disappointed by Rubi and I really hate to say that. She was a character that I absolutely loved in Reckless and I was so excited to get her story. Unfortunately, although I understand where a lot of her issues came from, she kept me in a state of continual frustration with how she treated Wes, her mixed signals, and by not committing to Wes a lot sooner. Also, while no one could argue that her father wasn’t a complete bastard, she really put herself in positions that allowed him to her hurt. Hurt me once, shame on you. Hurt me twice, shame on me…Definitely an old adage but it’s true. She shouldn’t have lived in that house, she shouldn’t have continued to make offers, she shouldn’t have continued to do business with him. She should have cut off all contact.Enough about Rubi. Let’s talk about sex =) From the first kiss to the "ice cream incident", I was glued to my kindle.“Kiss me back, baby,” he whispered against her lips. “Let me taste you.”He’d let this infatuation go on too long, and he was way the hell too far out on a limb here. He had to pull back.There her head tilted. Her mouth opened. And she stroked her tongue against his. Sensation filled his mouth-wet, smooth, slick. The thrill slid down his body and filled his groin. He couldn’t keep the growl of pleasure and relief from rolling out of his chest.Finally._______ finally."And I have to say, Wes had some of the most amazing moves on the dance floor I've ever had the pleasure to read about.He eased his hand beneath the fringe covering her ___. Slipped one finger under the edge of her thong and traced the path between her ___ cheeks. He touched her sweet, sensitive pucker, and Rubi gasped, her hand pushing harder against his jaw.A whimper floated from her mouth. He lifted his free hand to her lips. “Suck my fingers.” Her lids lifted, exposing lazy, fiery green eyes before her lips parted and she took two fingers into her mouth. Wes’s ____ strained at the site. At the feel of her stroking tongue, the heat of her mouth. “That’s it. Get them good and wet.”He pulled his fingers from her mouth and traded the position of his hands on her body, sliding beneath her thong to tease her ___ with his wet fingers. Rubi’s eyes closed, teeth clenched and her had laid back against her shoulder.He teased her there with another stroke or two, or more, when her lips lifted to his touch. “God, that’s so sweet.”Whether she’s writing as Skye Jordan or Joan Swan, contemporary romance or paranormal, this author has quickly become a favorite of mine. She’s the type of author that consistently delivers a great story, solid writing, and a sexy romance, each and every time. This series is a definite MUST READ. The only thing that kept Rebel from being a five star book for me was my frustration with Rubi. I just don’t have a high threshold for a character that drags things on and on. Other than that, I loved Rebel, I loved Wes, and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Richochet, expected to be released in the winter of 2014. I’m disappointed I’ll have to wait so long to get the next book but I’m confident it will be worth the wait.Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
