Blurb:
A sexy carjacker takes a would-be starlet for the ride of her life as a pulse-pounding new series from New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff begins.Once the brains behind a car-boosting ring, Nic Medina has spent the last three years playing it straight. Now drag racers flock to his L.A. auto shop, Hotwired, for a shot at going head-to-head with the man himself. But when a crooked cop gives Nic a treacherous ultimatum—steal ten high-end cars or watch his nephew disappear into the system—he makes the only choice he can, one that puts the life he’s worked so hard for at risk. No sooner does Nic agree than he spots some nasty competition—and a gorgeous bystander in harm’s way.
A small-town girl with Hollywood dreams, Jordan Bass never expected to be swept up in a real-life drama. But that’s exactly what happens when she witnesses a violent crime. And when a smoldering stranger takes the wheel and practically kidnaps her in a desperate bid to keep her safe, she’s not sure whether to scream . . . or kiss him. Nic’s bad news—but the real bad guys aren’t above silencing a witness. On a collision course with danger, Jordan finds herself falling for the man whose street smarts are keeping her alive . . . and whose touch puts her in high gear.

My Thoughts:
Jordan Bass has a love affair with cars – which she doesn’t quite
realize at the beginning. Nic Medina
also has a love of cars – the faster the better. If you’re a fan of the NHRA what better
backdrop for the story. If you don’t
know what the NHRA is, have you watched Grease? Think of the scene with White
Lightening. Compare it to the Fast and Furious franchise? I can’t say for certain since I’ve never seen
any of the movies but I can certainly picture Vin Diesel in this story.
I am a fan/lover of cars and I would have been perfectly happy
with that but our author kicks it up a notch.
Our author never does what you expect – she constantly surprises her
readers. In this instance, she creates a
female character that can take care of herself but who also appears to be
timid. Her male character has surprises
of his own. He might be a tough guy but
some of his actions are the result of the love for his family.
Just like a great race, you can stop reading until the last word
is read. It’s fast paced with lots of
action, suspense, and eventually love.
Jordan keeps a lot close to her chest and it’s not until toward the end
that you will find out why. It will be
interesting to see where our author takes her readers next especially since the
ending seems to leave some things up in the air.
