Jalynn
I’m the girl who’s always picking up the pieces of other people’s mistakes.
Until tonight.
I accidentally cause one false start, and now I’m being pulled into a guy’s car—who everyone only knows as Falcon—before an illegal street race.
He may not want anyone to truly know who he is, but he’s met his match.
Game on, Falcon.
Austin
People know I run these races.
They know not to mess with me, or my car.
When the identity of the girl who causes a false start is revealed, I have to make an example of her.
Letting her see who I am was never the plan.
Neither was running into her the next day as my brother’s new assistant.
She said she wanted nothing to do with me, but when I yank her into a janitor’s closet, making sure she keeps my secret is the last thing on my mind.

My review:
What a fast-paced, page-turning and quick read. I
loved the cars, the races, the family drama, the bonding between the
characters, and the secrets. I couldn't help but be pulled into this
story and be fascinated by all that was going on.
‘Adrenaline soars through my body. This is why I do this. This is my high.’
Austin
had two faces - the one of the famous and rich Mr. Sexton, and the one
hidden behind his hoodie when he was racing down the streets of San
Francisco in this ’69 Chevy Camaro.
When a girl suddenly stepped
out onto the track and interrupted his race, Austin would have never
believed that she was the one to change his entire world.
‘Everyone here knows me as Falcon, the undefeated street racer, and not Austin Sexton, middle son of one of the most prominent families in San Francisco.’
Jalynn
was a short-tempered and hot-headed kind of girl; her emotions were
always boiling close beneath the surface. She was angry at Austin quite a
lot and I feared that she would bite his head off a time or two. To be
honest, I wasn't very fond of her in the first half of the book but grew
to like her more after it seemed that she got her anger under control.
‘Last night, I didn’t know his name, but now, I feel like my world just exploded.’
There
was more to the story than just the obvious about the street racing,
and I was very surprised by the depth and emotions this story contained.
Austin was not only the tough guy he seemed to be on the surface
because he still fought the demons of his past. It gave the story a lot
more meaning, also with the conflict of Beckett and his own struggles,
which was perfectly woven into the book.
‘Adrenaline soars through my body. This is why I do this. This is my high.’
The
Sexton family was a very interesting bunch and I can't wait to read
more about them. I’m sure there is a lot of trouble and drama ahead.
Bryce had me intrigued and I can't wait to get to know more about him. I
think I’m even more excited about his book, now that I got a glimpse of
him, than I was with the first book.
