Jesse Frost lived the life most men would have killed for. Fast bikes, fame, money and

looks—from the outside looking in he had all, but the combination nearly broke him. He hadn’t thought much about any of those things throughout his career, he was just an easy-going guy from a speck of a town in Texas that had always worked hard for everything he had gotten in life. He’d been the shy guy in school, so when the prom queen found him years later, he thought he had finally made it, winning her affection was the crown jewel. Her mirage however, left him empty and certain there was no one that wanted him just for the man inside.

Emery Kincaid has a last name that is revered in their world. A woman in a man’s world and

succeeding, Irish through and through, she has the temper and sass to boot and a reputation that precedes her. She has remained strong because she’s had no other choice. The pain she masks runs deep and hiding it is the only way she can survive.

Thrown together because of circumstance and forced to be in each other’s space day in and

day out, sparks start to fly—from chemistry and the brakes she tries desperately to throw on. Without a doubt in his mind, Jesse thinks he’s found her, but the girl that stole his heart has a stubborn streak a country mile wide.

In reality, what Jesse doesn’t know could break his heart. Hiding her true feelings for him is the

only way for Emery to protect him and in turn—herself because her secret, her pain is just too big. She barely made it out the first time, if she let Jesse in, only to have him walk away…well, that’s a risk her heart can’t take.

MY Review:

This is the second in Amy's series, Racing to Love and the story centered around Jesse Frost, a bike racer.  He is a strong and decent character and one I could empathize with.   Oh to be young again!     He instantly loses his heart to the woman of his dreams, Emery Kincaid, his bosses beautiful and mechanically gifted daughter.   Emery is Irish through and through and very stubborn and makes no secret she wants to keep everything on a professional level.    There is instant chemistry between the two and a romance is instantly conceived, albeit, surrounded in the most impossible of circumstances.    A battle of wills ensues.
Amy's characters are strong and well developed and it is easy to bond with this group of biker racing friends.

I enjoyed the sweet romance that developed between Jesse and Emery.    It was a fun and easy story to read.   However about three chapters before the end, I was ready to finish the book.   It seemed to get a bit wordy and redundant to me.    That could just be me though so give this book a chance if you enjoy romance.    It is a very heartwarming and sweet romance that will capture your heart!

I’ve spent my whole life trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, and now I’ve finally found it. – Amy Gregory
