I don't enjoy a book where one character is so screwed up from their childhood that they can't commit until 76% or better through the book. I enjoy the "togetherness" too much! Just my preference. ( )

Rubi and Wes

Rubi is a genius programmer with big time family baggage, Wes is a stuntman/mechanical engineer; these two are made for each other. ( )

It was different than the first and it was better too. I had high hopes for Rubi's turn falling in love and I am glad to say that I am not disappointed. The funny thing about this series and what makes it great is the fact that the focus of the majority of the problems in admitting that love is a good thing comes from the women, and that is a breath of fresh air. The women here are strong but they also have their share of hung-ups in life, which make their decisions harder.
Rubi had some deep issues with abandonment because of her father and that reflected in her relationship with Wes. On the other hand, Wes was so sure of what he felt, that some times he steamrolled Rubi and ended up messing her up even more. Indeed, my peeve was with Wes and how pushy he was at times. But, despite all that, I really enjoyed this installment. ( )

Rubi and Wes might be my new favorite book couple. They have so many issues that seem insurmountable but together they really can find happiness. I love Skye Jordan and can't wait to read more about the Renegades!!! ( )
