Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old Holly Pearson never dreamed that while working at her father’s motocross track she’d run into the walking, talking definition of trouble in a sexy, tattooed package—Trip Douglas, the man sent to evaluate the track for a possible investment opportunity. Holly makes no attempt to hide the fact she despises Trip, but she learns to be civil toward him when he offers to help her land the man of her dreams.
Trip needs a break from the crazy rock-and-roll lifestyle he’s been living for the past few years. With his Black Falcon band mates settling down with marriage and babies, Trip peruses an investment opportunity in motocross, something he’s always been passionate about. Hiding his celebrity status, Trip infiltrates the new business posing as a dirt bike rider training for the X-Games. The only obstacle is the owner’s daughter, Holly. She’s a real ball bustin' Ice Queen, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make the deal fall through. Trip soon discovers that winning over his new enemy is the key to gaining a partnership in Mountain Time Speed Track.
Knowing he’s the expert on getting laid, Trip ropes Holly into becoming his ally by helping her score a date with the man she’s crushing on. The problem is, the more time Trip and Holly spend together, the more they uncover the undeniable attraction between them. Soon they both realize that even the best laid plans go to hell when you find you’re falling in love with the enemy.
**Book THREE in the Black Falcon series. Can also be read as a stand-alone novel**
Review by Janeane – ARC received for honest review
Though this is book 3 in the series, it can be read as a stand alone.
The boys of Black Falcon are back! I have loved these guys from the beginning and was really looking forward to getting into Trip's mind.
While Black Falcon are taking a break while Noel and Zach "Riff" spend time with their wives and babies, the other band members Trip and Tyke are at a bit of a loose end.
Trip is forward thinking, looking at business ventures for when the touring days are over. Which brings him to Arizona and a failing motocross track.
Holly has just had her heartbroken by her douchenozzle of a boyfriend Jackson. Now she has sworn off men, especially those of the tattooed, motocross variety. She is now working with her father to help get the track back in the black.
After a drunken run in - a sexy, drunken run in - with a sexy stranger, she can't get him out of her head, but knows she won't see him again. Or will she.
Trip and Holly's world's collide when he turns up at her dad's business, and sparks fly. How can she work with him when she wants him with every fibre of her being? And really who could blame her? I mean, look at him
I loved the sparring between Holly and Trip. The sexual tension between them so thick, but neither of them wants to make the move to something more.
But can they keep resisting the only thing that has ever made them feel complete?
Holly's best friend Max is just the perfect friend. Loyal to a fault, tells her what he thinks but is her fiercest defender.
We do not get much of the rest of the band in this book, though they do all show up at the end of the book for a whistlestop visit.
And we learn a bit more of what is going on with Tyke. And I really look forward to Tyke's story.
Michelle Valentine has sucked me right into the world of Black Falcon, and I can't get enough. Now, get writing cos I want more!
