4.5 STARS! End of the road time! Guns is the final installment of the steamy and exciting Rook and Ronin universe (hopefully that is not entirely true). Spencer and Ronnie are doomed. Seriously, this is the most dysfunctional relationship ever. I had no idea how this story was going to go. You have these criminals who did things that hurt people, but said criminals are the characters we've grown to love. Ronin, Ford, and Spencer did some shady things. Part of me felt convictions for any one of them would be fair and just, but the fairytale part of me (that dominates all my thinking), wanted sandy beaches and umbrella drinks for the rest of their lives. I wanted them to have happy love stories and babies (if they wanted babies). But Guns doesn't have the happy ending vibe.Past mistakes have forced Spencer to push the love of his life out of his life. He wants her safe and he'll sacrifice his own happiness to protect her. He's so good at pushing Ronnie away that she believes all the crap he dishes out. It takes her a while, but she finally realizes she's too good to be treated like dirt. I love that. I love Ronnie's path to independence. You can't always help who you love, but you can help how you love them. Ronnie isn't as wild as she was in the snapshot scenes from previous Rook and Ronin installments. Spencer's tunnel vision drove me nuts at times. He couldn't see the big picture and lacked all faith that Ronnie could do more than act as a damsel in distress. I bet if he'd just confided in her from the very beginning, the pair could have powered through the mess together. Still, Huss threw me curve balls left and right. I guessed over and over what was going to happen and I was always wrong! I'm hooked on J.A. Huss. If you're a fan of hot and steamy NA, or hot and steamy adult romance, or ... hot and steamy chick lit, what else can I throw in there? Just check out this series, okay.
