Guns is not a stand-alone novel.  Although this this book focuses on Spencer & Veronica, these characters and their story begins in Tragic.  It’s never wise to start at the end, warning: this review won’t contain spoilers of this book but it will expose the plots of the prior books.  If you have not read this fantastic New Adult Romance series by JA Huss you are missing out.  You need to go one-click those now!Guns picks up where Bomb leaves off.  Spencer, Ronin & Ford are hard at work trying to ensure they stay one step ahead, bringing in Rook, because she sort of caused it all and then Ashleigh becomes part of the team when Ford married her.  Everyone is on the team, everyone but Veronica.Spencer knew he wanted her the moment he saw her.  He knew that he would love her and one day give her everything she deserved.  But in order to make his claim and follow through on his promises of forever, he has to make sure he doesn’t end up locked up for the crimes of his past, the crimes of Rook’s past and for all the trouble they caused with their con-jobs when it was just the three boys stealing money for fun and their own form of justice.  And the only way to keep his Bombshell safe is to ensure she’s far away from him and the storm that’s coming.Veronica Vaughn knows that she loves Spencer but she is tired of being pushed away and not being worthy enough to be part of the team.  With every attempt to move forward, Spencer pulls her back in.  She knows she can handle whatever Spencer has to tell her, but just can’t see that he is pushing her away because he loves her that much.“I’ve known you guys the longest, I get trusted with s***? I get nothing from you, Spencer. I’m no one to you. Why?”... ....“Because, baby, I love you enough to push you away.”Just as Veronica is ready to move on, just as The Team thinks their troubles will all be over in a week, things start to fall apart.  A mysterious man comes to town that has his eyes set on Veronica, each member of The Team finds themselves with their own personal problems to deal with.  As they get closer to being able to close this chapter in their lives and move forward with the women they love, all these problems start to seem like less of a coincidence and more like a setup.Holy mother of all bosses, JA Huss delivers with this book!  I wasn’t sure what I was going to get when Spencer’s story started.  It wasn’t until Bomb that I saw him as something more than just the tough biker guy who was just a giant flirt and sex on two wheels.  His character was holding so much of the weight of everything on his shoulders.  The only one that wasn’t getting to his cake and eating it too.  Watching Ronin & Ford with the women they loved, while he had to constantly fight himself to keep his Bomb at arm’s length.  He was f’n perfect.But Veronica & Spencer’s story wouldn’t be what it was without the glimpses into how they started.  Not just the day on campus that he saw her for the first time, but the stolen moments they had where they fell love.  JA Huss does a great job weaving both the past & present together seamlessly.  The memories we get to read about fit into the story as it is unfolding and there is no jagged transition from one to the other.So much dimension was given to Spencer’s character throughout his novella and this novel.  He remained tough, but you clearly get to see his more calm side; the planner in him, come out.  And Spencer dirty talking is hot, but Spencer sweet melts the p***ies right off of you.“But no matter what, no matter how many times I take her body, no matter how public the taking, no matter how dirty the talk – the thing that turns me on the most about my Bombshell is the shudder that runs through her body each and every single time we get started. It’s my drug, and I’m addicted to it.That shudder says, You rock my f’n world, Spencer Shike.”***“Tell me what else we like, Spencer.”His smile is small and crooked. Almost sad as he reaches over and laces his fingers in mine.“We like to hold hands too, don’t we?”The ‘what else do we like’ moment in this story had me in tears.  My heart was filled with so much love for these two while breaking completely because their lives weren’t anything like they wanted them to be in this moment.The whole gang had their parts to play in this as well.  Ford was typical Ford and even hotter with his protective streak showing when it came to baby Kate and Ashleigh.  Ronin was still waiting patiently for Rook to come around and Rook was finally seeing a side to a life she never thought she’d want.  But a huge part of me loving this book had to do with the story as a whole, a story that stayed true to itself over the course of seven books.  A story that came to one h*lluva explosive ending that had you on the edge of your seat scared and excited to turn the page.  And then we get the epilogue... and then we get to see a moment that you didn’t expect and it breaks your heart in so many ways and just as the tears fall, JA Huss gives you a classic Ford line that has you laughing again.  Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, you turn the page one more time... looking for that sexy robot and instead you get a bonus epilogue... and this epilogue is the kind of thing that will start riots in the streets for JA Huss to give her fans what they want.  Hands down one of the best epilogues ever.Do not wait to read this book.  One-click this now and tell everyone you know that they have to read this.
