Publisher's Summary

A rough childhood branded Jasper Storm trouble. A bad boy. Not worth a damn. His love of cars was the only thing that could battle his delinquency. With the need for speed in his blood, he overcame his wayward ways. Mostly. Now that he's all grown up, the broken city of Detroit hails him as its shining star. And the man behind a new cutting-edge automobile is ready to turn this bankrupt town around.

Everything he does in life is fast. He talks fast, f*cks fast, and drives fast. But when one reckless turn brings him face to face with the childhood he has tried very hard to forget, he finds himself on the edge of wondering if he shouldn't slow down.

Charlotte Lane was the tomboy who lived next door. She was his best friend. He was her protector. Then tragedy struck, and she disappeared forever - or so he thought.

Contains mature themes.

A cliff hanger

The storyline, with its twists and turns built to a cliffhanger, requiring the story to have a conclusion. I connected with the characters that had lost childhoods and look forward to the conclusion, what a cliff hanger. Great work

Naive and needy female lead

Narrators are amazing. Soothing and clear voices 👍

The story is well constructed. But the character of the female lead annoyed the hell out of me. She's naive and lame. When she admitted to being 'needy' in relationships, I gave up on the story. Sorry, but I expect more girl power in the stories I listen to...
