The bad boy of First Category Racing is back! 

"Breaking the rules was my speciality. Some people like to be part of something, I wanted to be different from the rest. Always." 

What happens when you are asked to give up what you love? When you are forced to end your career?

Born to Run is about Noah Laurent, a secondary character in the Counterpoints series -a top race driver who is asked to leave his team at the end of the series.

Noah is cold blooded, brutally honest and just doesn't care about anything and anyone. He's made his way up the ladder all by himself. He's well known for his outbursts with the press and in the boxes. But he's also an ace, a top driver.

And just when he thinks he's done fighting, he meets someone that will get him back on track.... literally.

Reading the Counterpoints series is not necessary but would help understand better the character.

Review for Nights in the Fast Lane: A Contemporary Romantic Comedy by Grace Risata

Blurb:

Dane and Izzy. 

Complete opposites. 

As the New Year begins, they find themselves facing very different circumstances. 

Dane is a street racer stuck with a blown engine, no money, and no options after he gets fired for saving a damsel in distress. 

Izzy can’t believe she was just rescued by the same handsome stranger she walks past, and lusts after, on a daily basis. With a massive blizzard about to bury the town, she ends up taking him in for the night. 

Sparks fly when she brings out his playful side, and he shows her a passion she’s never known before.

As they slowly begin to trust each other, walls come down and tragic pasts emerge. Dane is haunted by the family he never had, while Izzy will stop at nothing to deny her birthright. 

When Dane receives an offer he can’t refuse, will one bad decision cost him everything? Or will fate intervene and send these two down the path they were destined for? 

This is a full length, stand-alone novel with no cliffhangers. Please be advised that you will find strong language, attractive men with tattoos, a dog with a cat name, steamy bedroom scenes including one involving Doritos, plenty of character backstory, and a very healthy dose of humor. 

Review:

Just finished this book and I found it entertaining and I don't usually read books with street racing involved. The tension between Izzy and Dane really keep you on your toes while reading this one. For the first part of the book the two of them are dancing around their lust for each other and whether to act on it or not. Well, let me correct that statement. Izzy is all about it but Dane has reservations and they are good reasons, not for his lack of want to. They both have a lot of issues from their pasts, but find out the two of them really aren't so different after all. It was funny, kind of intense, frustrating, and more. An all around good read!

4 out of 5 stars!
