4 Fast Stars.
Rylee went through a pretty tragic event and never completely recovered from that. Until he had been adopted Colton also had a pretty tragic past. Neither of them wants to feel, because they both believe they doesn’t know how to do that anymore.
Until their worlds collide, they both have to work together and everything changes. Colton wants her and she wants him back, but he’s an f1 racer, with more money that he can count and a sordid past that insists on not being forgotten, which makes her hesitant about him. Until both of them can’t resist anymore which will change everything. So buckle in, people, this is going to be a sexy and bumpy ride!
I can now see why so many mixed feelings about these books. It gives a “50 Shades” and “Crossfire” vibe and I understand why some people probably won’t like that. And the use of too.many.sentences.like.this is pretty annoying. Personally, I really liked. I’m all for the “broken alpha male who falls in love and doesn’t know how to deal with it” type. This book is intense, emotional, and with some angst and many drama because of the protagonists fight against their feelings. (Don’t you worry hard-romance fans, despite his lack of understanding of his own feelings, they are pretty clear to readers, through his gestures.). This was a very promising beginning and after this end, I really need to hop onto the next book!
Rating: 4 Stars
Characters Development: Rylee, despite some minor annoyances, it’s a pretty good heroine. She survived a very tragic event so it’s normal for her to be afraid and sometimes insecure. However she is fierce and she doesn’t give in every time the heroes does something stupid just because he gives her a sexy smile. You go, girl! If you love the broken alpha male type you’re going to love Colton. It’s endearing to see him trying to understand all these new feelings, and despite some agitations he brought me through the book, where I just wanted to slap him, it has impossible not to fall for him. And they tougher are explosive, so get ready for some really intense moments.

Great review Catarina! I personally enjoyed book 2 (and 3) more. Boy I couldn't put them down. I love Rylee, she had her down moments but she fought hard for Colton (not like some heroines who only manage to create dramas).
