Publisher's Summary

Drew Forrester is a total adrenaline junkie. His high of choice? Cars. The faster, the better. He's been making waves in Maryland's underground racing circuit since he crossed the state line, and after speaking with him, we know he's not hitting the brakes anytime soon.

So what exactly does it take to burn rubber and make a name for yourself in a world where the only rule is that there are no rules? You gotta be hungry. You gotta have balls. And you can never back down.

Contains mature themes.

Cliffhanger and misogyny undermined a good story!

Drew Forrester and the car he suped up are infamous in Maryland’s independent street racing scene. He takes risks and wins big. His best friend, Trent, is president of Omega House at Alpha University. They’re inseparable but neither seems willing to admit that there are deeper feelings than friendship. I loved the cover and the concept and other readers will be attracted to their alpha-male swagger and misogyny, but I found myself struggling to like these two at first. I guess they reflect a certain type of man, but why perpetuate the toxic stereotype? Anyway, they became more palatable as they slowly came to admit their truth and I found myself more engaged in the story which had some great subplots … until the unforgivable cliffhanger at the end. Why do authors do this when they know how much readers hate it? The voice actors were ok, but not narrators I’d seek out. Luke Itzvic (as Drew) overplayed the emotion at times while Guy Locke (as Trent) was often stilted.
