Danger lights me up
But she sets me on fire
It’s my turn to fight the shady Organization that’s dug its goddamn claws into every business in my town. Setting up my trap while keeping my friends safe is a challenge—and my private life shouldn’t interfere with my mission.
Except it does. Because the only way to reach the center of the web is to crawl right into the spider’s lair—and that turns out to be the Cronin Scarlet Hotel. Luxury hotel with a kink, and my regular haunt.
The perfect way in. Nobody will bat an eye if I ask for my usual relief from stress in one of their stylish pain rooms with some random girl who likes to dom. It will only take a phone call.
But there’s one complication: Mia.
A very s*xy complication.
She works at the hotel as a maid, and she’s prim and proper and damn pretty. So buttoned up, her gaze so icy when she looks at me, she pushes all my buttons. I want to tie her up, I want her to tie me up, I want to try every filthy kink possible with her.
But she doesn’t want anything to do with me ever since I kissed her. One searing hot kiss and I was lost, but she pushed me away.
Why do I want a girl who’s nothing like the women I usually go for? A girl who doesn’t want me. And how the hell am I going to keep my mind on taking down the corrupt Organization when she’s around?

**********MY REVIEW **********
This is the 3rd book in the Sex and Bullets series—Rook. The previous books are: Storm; Hawk, the prequel Caught and now Rook. Rook is like family to Storm and Hawk. They are his “brothers” and he will do anything to keep them safe even if it means him dying. I would recommend reading the previous books in this series to better understand this book but this could be read as a standalone. There is danger still out there and now Rook is going to put an end to it or die trying. He doesn’t have Storm or Hawk go with him, and he goes it alone so they don’t get hurt but trust me when I say those men always find things out that Rook withholds from them and they aren’t happy.
Now during Rook’s investigations, he runs into and meets Mia. She is beautiful and so inviting. She is the type that draws a person in and hooks you immediately and that’s what she does with Rook. Rook tries to back away but…doesn’t work. Mia herself finds Rook so dominant and aloof yet with hint of secrets and spice. These two immediately click and connect. They try not to but its so hard when you see the chemistry running back and forth between them. Rook is afraid to believe he will ever find his HEA even though his friends/brothers did get theirs. He pulls away and tries to stay away from Mia but that doesn’t get far. Rook is a man who is somewhat well more so broken deep inside and I cried for him. I wanted him to find love with Mia, for I knew she could give him love and give him what he has been lacking for so long. He just has to believe …Mia knows there is this broken side to Rook and she keeps trying to prove to him she is there for him, no matter what. In between the trouble Rook is going after to make sure all the trouble is out of their lives for good, Rook has this relationship now on his radar. Rook is a such an broody, possessive, smart, sexy alpha male and his counterpart Mia, well she is sweet, honest, sassy, just as protective as Rook of those she loves. These two are perfect for each other. Did I mention she too has some trust issues and it takes someone special to get into her heart? Ahhh like I said, they are perfect for one another. Now this isnt a rainbow and unicorn , light and hearts story. Its dark, full of pain , violence , mystery and suspense. Not to say there isnt romance and passion but we also have a lot of pain and violence. As the angst and danger grew, I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t read fast enough. I was trying to get to the epic conclusion that the books in this series has led up to.
Everything concluded just like it should have and I was very happy to see the villain(s) get what they deserved. I loved how this book ended and I hope there will be a follow up book with all the characters in this series released sometime soon.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
