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.

REVIEW

Jordan hasn't exactly had the best life. But all that's behind her, where it belongs and she's working hard at having a good life. She wants to move on and past all she endured in the past. Introduced into the world of drag races and cars, Jordan is intrigued and drawn in almost from teh start.  

Nic Medina is a known bad boy, an ex con, drag racer who tangles with the police occasionally still.  Because of his past, he's pulled into things he'd rather not be part of but has little choice in.  

Acccelerate is an action packed story that will keep you on your toes as you flip to the next page.  This wild ride is full of unexpected twists that pull you right in and keep you guessing.   From reading the synopsis, I knew I was going to be taken for a ride, but this book was so much more than I expected.  The characters really tugged on my heart strings at times and had me holding my breath.  

Jordan and Nic had me in stitches at times with their interactions and antics.  But I also had real pain in my heart for them as well. There is a lot going on emotionally for these two characters and I felt every single bit of it. 

I love how the action and suspense elements sort of meld together as the story moves along, giving you bits and pieces of the whole but leaving you with questions and wondering what's to come.  It's like piecing together a puzzle one small section at a time and looking at the missing pieces wondering what's missing.  

With all the craziness surrounding Nic and Jordan, you wouldn't really expect the sexual tension and palpable chemistry, but its there front and center. Maybe hidden behind fear and pain but its definitely there. 

I loved everything about this story, the heart rush, the snark of the characters, the whole wild ride from start to finish that Jordan and Nic are on.
