Review: Ricochet – Skye Jordan

After a tragic incident in Afghanistan leaves Master Sergeant Nathan Ryker the only man standing in his tight-knit team, he spirals into an alcohol-and-sex induced escape. A call from his lifelong buddy pulls Ryker from the shadows with a request for help with his stunt company’s latest blockbuster. If Ryker can survive the next three weeks of leave and get back to his remaining men, he might just be all right. But a sexy woman who can take his mind off his trauma is too hard to resist, and when he hooks up with Renegades’ sultry, snarky office manager, his sanity takes a backseat to the first glimpse of a future he isn’t sure he deserves.

Still reeling from a bitter romantic betrayal, Rachel Hart wants nothing more than an uncomplicated hookup. So when the mysterious Nathan seduces her with a little dirty talk and one delicious kiss, Rachel drowns all her good sense in a Mandarin and soda and gives herself over to a night of sexual bliss. But her memories tarnish in the morning light when Rachel discovers his real identity and his link to Renegades. Her job and her friends are the only thing holding her life together, and she won’t be ruined by one sultry night with this damaged and dangerously sexy man.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

RICOCHET is a fast paced, exhilarating story from start to finish. Rachel Hart loves her job at Renegades, a movie stunt company, where she works with a group of macho guys who live for adrenaline rushes. Rachel’s job can be stressful, because she does all the behind the scenes work for Renegades and she is constantly juggling many different duties at the same time. They are currently working on the biggest stunt they have ever performed in a movie, which includes blowing up a bridge. Ryker is an explosives expert and on a two month leave from the military, where he’s been stationed in Afghanistan. He has been asked to help Renegades to coordinate the explosion of the bridge. From the moment Ryker and Rachel meet, there is a strong sexual current running between them. Rachel is different from the women Ryker normally encounters or is attracted to. She is smart, has attitude, never lets the guys walk all over her and the last thing she is looking for is a serious relationship. Ryker is a tough alpha male. He’s rough around the edges, but also vulnerable and irresistible.

This is the third book in the Renegades series and I have read and enjoyed them all. Skye Jordan knows how to write real characters and an exciting story, filled with alpha males who love nothing better than to test the limits. I admired Rachel because she is able to keep all these tough guys in line and she has a lot of spunk. I liked both Ryker and Rachel and when they get together the chemistry is off the charts.
