Review: Spencer & Bombshell and the Whole Team!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 25, 2014
I fell deeply in love with Veronica in this book, and sadly fell out of love (at least for a little while) with Spencer. Following this series from the beginning we know that Spencer is separating himself from Bombshell so she doesn't get wrapped up in his criminal activity. But poor Bomb's self-esteem is going right down the tubes now that Spencer treats her like garbage, even if it is all for show. It takes a while before Bomb realizes that Spencer is up to. Bombshell hangs out with Rook & Ashleigh who are deeply involved in the team activities which breaks my heart for Bomb as she is completely left in the dark. There are flashbacks to see how Veronica & Spencer fell in love & Spencer is super romantic! He treats Veronica like a treasure & makes promises about their future together, so unlike the caveman jerk Spencer acts like today. The first time Spencer paints Bombshell, wow, a total fantasy!! My favorite Spencer line - I'm gonna keep you forever. Rook is close to testifying & there is someone, or possibly more than one person, out to screw with Ronin, Ford & Spencer. Now that Ronin & Ford have their new families at stake they are getting more & more distraught to get the trial over with & move on to a calmer, safer, more adult life. A new man in Veronica's life sees exactly who she is & knows she can be used if it means Spencer's safety. Bombshell is tough on the outside, growing up with her father & brothers made her that way, but she is slowly falling apart without Spencer at her side. Everything comes to a head & I was surprised at who is after the team & what they want. I would have given this final book 4 stars because I was so frustrated with Spencer, but then with the flashbacks I saw Spencer's romantic side & how much he worshipped Bombshell. Ford will always be my favorite character & seeing him worry about passing down his strange quirks to his child, well, Ford is just something special. The best was the epilogue & I would love to read about this second generation of team members who I can tell will follow in their parent's footsteps. Please write about Number Five & Princess, I beg you!!
