Review: Spike (The Beat and the Pulse #3.5) by Amity Cross

*****5 Stars*****
 
 
Ahhhhhhh Ash Fuller is back in all his alpha male stroppiness with his animalistic sex and his beautifully dirty mouth. I loved getting to see more of the Ash we fell in love with in Beat after seeing his softer side in the last book and the author didn't disappoint in throwing us back into the angst of Ash & Ren's relationship. And the hot hot animal sex was off the scale too.
Ash and Ren are moving on with their relationship and tentatively taking the step into living together in the apartment that Ash has lovingly built for them but as with all relationships the next step is often a very shaky one. I loved that this episode wasn't all hearts and flowers as that just isn't Ash & Ren. So while I hated what they went through to get to a happy place I loved the journey they took to get there.
Poor Ash is having doubts about his ability to make Ren happy and he feels he has to face his past to be able to move forward, the stupid stupid man. At the same time a newcomer is making eyes at Ren just as the wobble in their relationship hits adding to the unrest Ash is causing. Poor Ren I really felt for her and wanted to clip Ash about the head, even when he had the chance to tell her his problem I felt he let her blame herself, such a bonehead. The result is a complete unravelling of everything they have built together and the fight of their lives to rebuild it again. However when the cards are down, Ren steps up and shows Ash why they are so right for one another I just loved the ending I really want to say the best ever ??????? in a book but I really don't want to spoil anything so I'll leave you guessing but I was just laughing out loud.
It was great getting glimpses of the other characters in this series and Amity has cleverly paved the way into the next book. Spike pretty much brings Ash& Ren's story to a conclusion but I'm sure we'll see more from them in the planned books. A brilliant addition to the series, that I am totally hooked on, and I am really looking forward to the next book.
