What a fast-paced, page-turning and quick read. I loved the cars, the races, the family drama, the bonding between the characters, and the secrets. I couldn't help but be pulled into this story and be fascinated by all that was going on.

‘Adrenaline soars through my body. This is why I do this. This is my high.’

Austin had two faces - the one of the famous and rich Mr. Sexton, and the one hidden behind his hoodie when he was racing down the streets of San Francisco in this ’69 Chevy Camaro.

When a girl suddenly stepped out onto the track and interrupted his race, Austin would have never believed that she was the one to change his entire world.

‘Everyone here knows me as Falcon, the undefeated street racer, and not Austin Sexton, middle son of one of the most prominent families in San Francisco.’

Jalynn was a short-tempered and hot-headed kind of girl; her emotions were always boiling close beneath the surface. She was angry at Austin quite a lot and I feared that she would bite his head off a time or two. To be honest, I wasn't very fond of her in the first half of the book but grew to like her more after it seemed that she got her anger under control.

‘Last night, I didn’t know his name, but now, I feel like my world just exploded.’

There was more to the story than just the obvious about the street racing, and I was very surprised by the depth and emotions this story contained. Austin was not only the tough guy he seemed to be on the surface because he still fought the demons of his past. It gave the story a lot more meaning, also with the conflict of Beckett and his own struggles, which was perfectly woven into the book.

‘Adrenaline soars through my body. This is why I do this. This is my high.’

The Sexton family was a very interesting bunch and I can't wait to read more about them. I’m sure there is a lot of trouble and drama ahead. Bryce had me intrigued and I can't wait to get to know more about him. I think I’m even more excited about his book, now that I got a glimpse of him, than I was with the first book.
