Excerpt
She stops and turns around when she hears my boots crunching
in the gravel behind her. The cold look in her eyes is
almost enough to freeze my damn heart. “Don’t you dare follow me, Easton.
Turn back around and go inside.” With pained eyes, she points at the building
and screams. “GO!”

After yelling at me, she immediately turns back around and
starts walking again to get away from me.

Ignoring her demand, I stalk toward her, wrapping my arm

“You’re not driving home,” I say, while squeezing her waist
and pulling her against me. “I get that you want fast right now. That you need
a rush to clear your head. Trust me, I know you. I’m the one that got you
addicted, but you’ve had too much to drink.”

“You don’t need to worry about what I do,” she growls out in
anger, before elbowing me in the stomach in an effort to get away. “Dammit! Let
me go. I need to leave. I can’t be here.”

She’s still trying to fight me, so I carefully lower her to
the gravel and trap her under my body, pinning one of her legs underneath mine.
“Give me your keys,” I growl, an inch away from her lips. “Don’t make me force
them out of your hand. I can pin you under my body all night if I fucking have
to, Kota.”

“Fuck you, Easton!” Breathing heavily, she lays still and
fights to control her breathing from below me. After a few seconds, her eyes
meet mine, and she grins. “Fetch.” She tosses her keys across the parking lot
and then pushes my chest, speaking against my lips. “Now. Get. Off.”

MY REVIEW
Loved the motorcycle backdrop with the Brooks family and friends but this one wore me out and not necessarily in a good way. This story was not for me but it did have its moments. There was just too much angst and weird misunderstanding and emotional overload. This would be good for teen girls if not for the hot sex scenes. And I do mean hot when they finally got around to it. I loved Dakota and her awesome tomboy ways. She’s the best part of the story. Easton was great as the alpha hunk when he comes back to town but as a teen he needed to grow a pair. Some of his actions and words were not what a 12 year old boy would say to a 10 year old girl. Just weird. All the mystery around Easton’s leaving and Quinn just dragged for me. Lots of back and forth and going round and round without moving forward. I started skipping to get to the good stuff…hot sex and some answers. I did like a Roman and Hope. I can see them together in a story or Roman with just about anyone. He’s terrific. I liked the rest of the racing/bar crew even the obvious shanks and bad dudes. I rarely leave a less than review and it always pains me but it is just my opinion.
