Faster Hotter
A good girl...a bad boy...an enduring love.
Who knew wrong could feel so right?

In spite of media blackmail, her family's vehement hate, and an explosive rivalry, Siena and Harrison overcame incredible odds to find each other's hearts. This is the last piece of their story, one filled with secrets and angst, unbridled passion, new-found hope, and unwavering love.
Although their journey has reached its final lap, what lies around the last turn is even more exciting than either of them could have imagined. And like all great love stories, the heartache was worth it in the end...
This Contemporary Romance novel contains mature content and sexual situations.

I'm Colleen Masters, author of the Faster Series. Thank you so much for swinging by and checking out my stories! As an indie romance author, your support means everything to me. Let me tell you a little bit about myself...
I grew up in Central Jersey, and studied Theatre Arts and English at Monmouth University. (Going to college right next to the beach? Hell yes :D) My dream has always been to make a profession out of writing, so I moved to NYC five years ago and have been working my butt off to make that dream come true ever since. Right now, I'm living on the Upper East Side with my darling fiancé and our corgi, Frodo. (Bit of a lit nerd, what can I say?) All of my friends get such a kick out of my "survival job," but I don't really see my writing as a day job at all--it's way too fun for that!
These books are truly a labor of love, and I'm so happy to share them with you. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Wow this book was great!! I love this world of F1 racing so much! I am only sad that it's over. If you're looking for a hot steamy read with a sexy British alpha and equally sexy Italian heroine check this out!!!

This was a very nice story, but needed some fixing here and there. I would have wanted more moments and dialog between the hero and the heroine while it was given more space to the dialog of the heroine with other people than with him.
I think if the writer would have been more concentrated to the couple this would have been a great book!
I enjoyed it.

This is a great ending to a series, i loved the sexy British alpha and hot feisty Italian heroine, they made for a wonderful read with some steamy encounters. The very troubling F1 season is over the next stage is to see where Siena and Harrison’s relationship goes next.
The beginning of the book holds a emotional impact with Enzo and Siena losing the dad and the impact that had not only on them but the F1 family team, very emotional reading to everyone pull together.
I did really annoy me that it took nearly the whole book for Seina to share her secret with Harrison, he didnt seem like the kind of guy that would just brush her off so im not sure what was holding her back really.
But apart from that little niggle this was a very fitting ending to a fantastic series.
Im kind of sad that this is the end as the characters were so very likable.

Ok, I didn't think this book was bad. I liked it - although we were back to having a lot of editing mistakes (the third book was the best about that).
I just didn't feel like this book was really necessary. Most of what was in this installment could have been added on to the end of book 3 and completed the series then.
I enjoyed the HEA of Harrison and Siena, but it didn't take another book to get there. I think all 4 books could have actually been boiled down into two really great installments (once the editing issues had been corrected). Having 4 installments just seemed to drag out parts of the story that didn't need to be that long.
So, bottom line, this was a good story overall that needed to be condensed into no more than three installments, ideally even two.

Faster Hotter is the conclusion of the 4 book series.
Siena and Harrison have gone through a very chaotic courtship, if you could call it that. Now they are going to be able to stop sneaking around and hiding their relationship. No more danger either like they encountered in their relationship either.
Can their relationship take “normal” now? You have to read it to find out.
I’m not going to spoil it with anything that happens in the book but I was happy with the ending of the story. Maybe a spinoff story of Enzo though?
I did receive this free in exchange for an honest review

Amazing series. This installment was sad, exciting & a little frustrating. The most frustrating part was Sienna's lack of being forthcoming with Harrison - I knew she had some reversions, but I do not know how she held on to her secret for so long. Harrison & Sienna need to figure out how they are going to make it work now that the season is over. Things get crazy and a little hairy. Lots and Lots of hot steamy juicy sex. Fabulous ending!
February 13, 2014
Another solid book by Colleen Masters. This was my least favorite out of the series, but still a great book. Had the emotional impact at the beginning when Senia & Enzo loose their dad...really a heart wrenching part of the book. Hated that it took the entire book for Senia to finally tell her big secret to Harrison....wished that would have came out a lot sooner. All in all sad to see these characters go. Great job Colleen on a great solid series!!

This is the ending we have been waiting for. The troubling season is behind Siena and Harrison now they need to figure out where they go from here.
What happens is an instant family. There are new troubles on the horizon and lets see how they fare.
Overall this one was the best out of all of the books and I was surprised to see the strength that siena showed us.

This is the 4th book in the Take Me series.
Things are going a lot better for the couple in this book. Actually things are going better for all the couples in this book. Things will be lost and stuff will be gained. Through it all they manage to work out their issues.
This book was ok. Not great, not awesome, not horrible. I will be reading the next book in this series soon. Happy reading :)

*****Received copy from publisher for honest review******
I'm sad this series is over but what a way to go. This book kept a smile on my face all the way through. After everything Siena and Harrison had been through, I was happy this book ended the way it did.
In the final installment Siena has found out some big news that will change she and Harrison's life forever.....now, how does she tell him, especially when it seems like everyone is keeping something from her also? The seasons ended and she's moving into her new life within F1 but how will it work with the other road her life is taking.....and where does the love of her life fit into it all?
As I said I'm sad to say goodbye to Siena and Harrison. Their story really jumped off the page in my opinion. I always have to give credit where credit is due and give kudos to the author for developing such strong characters that a reader doesn't want to let them go. That's how I feel with not only Siena and Harrison but the supporting characters as well.
This book, while dramatic, is not as dramatic as the previous installments in this series. I personally found that refreshing as it was the final installment. To me, it was like that really long epilogue we always hope for when ending a really good story. Definitely my favorite book in the series.
I'm gonna miss this series but I'm really glad I found it.
5 stars for the book, 5 stars for the series! Ms. Master's I look forward to reading your future endeavors.

SPOILER ALERT!!!
So glad I stumbled upon the first book in the series as a kindle freebie a few months ago. I've absolutely loved following Harrison and Siena's journey together along with the lives of the supporting characters. The ending was exactly what I expected and I couldn't be happier. I read the entire book without putting it down because I kept waiting for Siena to give Harrison their unexpected good news! I loved that Enzo and Harrison were finally able to have a decent relationship, and I think the family's Italian upbringing was very evident through the male-dominated decision making. Although I eventually realized that Harrison was going to propose to Siena, with all the comments he made earlier in the book it did seem out of character for him. Throughout the series the grammar and writing have significantly improved and as a picky reader I do appreciate that! I wouldn't be upset to see the same story or a somewhat overlapping one from another character's perspective whether its Harrison, Enzo, Bex, or someone unexpected

What a great ending to a series!! I couldn't have asked for a better conclusion to their story.
Siena and Harrison have outlasted all the rumors and danger throughout this series and I love seeing the closure of those supportive characters in this book as well. You can truly feel the love Siena and Harrison have and how torn she is in this story trying to decide if she is making the right choices in her life. She knows she has to reveal her secret to Harrison but is so afraid of what the consequences will be. Will he stay or will he leave her?
This book is definitely HOT and I fell in love with Harrison and how he changed from being a manwhore to a one woman man and never failed to prove his love for her. Parts of the story is so heartbreaking seeing some of the loss in this book and I love how Enzo seemed to change for the better himself. Harrison is so supportive of her and all of the things that he does for her and never fails her. I love the fast paced action of all of the four books and I really hate to see it end!!

Right before I start this review, let me clarify something.
This book was very well written. The dialogues were smart, the characters were immensely likeable, the setting was very nicely depicted, the feelings and thoughts very accurately conveyed.
For someone else, this would be the ideal ending to an already impressive series. They would be right in giving it 4 and 5 stars, because in a way the book deserves it.
I am not one of those people.
Plot of this book? Siena is still pregnant, and doesn't tell Harrison until the very end. In other news, Alfonso finally succumbs to his cancer, Charlie and Bex are getting married, and Enzo is still with Shelby. The end.
There was nothing exiting about this book. Nothing nerve twisting, nothing impressive, nothing that had me edging to the end of my seat. I am allergic to happy endings, even more so extensive ones, and reading about pink puffy cloud relationships bores me to reader's death.
I appreciated the book for its merits, they just don't appeal to me.

I must admit I was sad to see these guys go but I think this was the perfect ending. After things settled down after the end of the season Lorenzo and Siena said goodbye to their father. His moment with Siena left me tears. After things began to return to normal as now Siena now armed with her father's shares in the company was now able to mak her mark on the racing world. She also had Bex and Charlie's wedding and some news she has been waiting to share with Harrison. So many heartfelt and bittersweet moments. It was nice that after all the pain and heart ache the pair is well on their way to happy ever after. Kinda wish I knew whst would happen next season or if Enzo will be next one to be married. Although him being committed to Shelby is still and interesting combo. I'm grateful that Harrison was finally able to saw Enzo that he was a man worthy of his sister and that he indeed not his father's son.

I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
At last we get to the highly anticipated 4th and last book in this series!! I absolutely loved it. The author tied up all the loose ends from the previous three books. Although there were some sad moments the rest of the book more than made up for it.
In the 3rd book (Faster Longer) we are left dealing with the illness of Siena's father, the end of the season, and the discovery of the real blackmailer. The magical question is where to go from here. With more than a few bumps in the road both Siena and Harrison are as determined as ever to make it work. A definite must read for romance and race fans alike.

The fourth and final installment of Siena and Harrison’s love story (but not the last book) picks up where things left off in book three with Siena’s big realization. While missing the mystery and adventure that the previous books had, it’s still a fitting final chapter for the pair. It is sweet, sad, and sexy all in one. Plot wise, Bex and Charlie prepare for their nuptials, Siena guards a secret, and Harrison remains the “bad boy sex god and passionate romantic.” We even learn his favorite color, met his mother, find out that he’s a good dancer, very well endowed, but a bad singer. Hey, even hottie book boyfriends have to have a flaw somewhere. If you’ve enjoyed following Harrison and Siena’s romance in the previous books, you’ll enjoy this HEA.

Finally! It has been quite a lag waiting for this last book in this series. Who would have thought that finding the first one and reading it just because I was in need of a sports romance at that time would lead to me waiting and waiting for the succeeding books to come out. Patience has never been my virtue so that's why I try to stay away from serials until the entire series has been completed. But I just couldn't say no to this. Nope, not this F1 junkie.

The thrilling conclusion to Siena and Harrison's love story!
Colleen does it again! Another book of hers that I could not put the book down!!! I fell in love with Harrison from the very first book and it just keeps growing through the series! This series is a must read for all! I definitely recommend these books... I mean what more could you ask for? Hot, tattooed guys and fast cars! Can't get much better than that!

Faster Hotter is the final installment in the "Take Me" series, it's fast paced, sexy, sweet and heart breaking. I've enjoyed following Siena and Harrison on their journey from the beginning, throughout all the turmoil, tragedy to finding their own HEA. If you are looking an all around enjoyable fast paced romance look further than this series.

Well this was a huge disappointment. The beginning was good, I cried!! Then the middle of the book started..........................waiting..........waiting.....that's what I felt like. When was the story going to begin, the middle was a loop of the same issues, over and over with sex thrown in. Then the ending was so predictable. Who didn't see that coming? What a sad ending to an enjoyable series.

Sad it is over
I have been so in love with Sienna and Harrison's relationship from the beginning. I would sit on pins and needles waiting for the next book. The life in the fast lane, literally, is amazing. from forbidden love, feuding car honchos and crazy drivers, this series has everything to pull you in and take up your whole night. I would love another book just to see what issues they have to face with their new families.

Siena and Harrison finally get through all the drama threatening their happiness. I love these two together. I have enjoyed reading the trials and emotional coaster these two have been through. I am a sucker for an HEA and I loved this one. I really hope we get to read Enzo's HEA in the near future.
February 13, 2014
This book was a bit lovey dovey for me and not enough action but it was still good. It was a nice ending to a great series. Siena's indecision thru-out this book was a bit frustrating for me but wasn't that the theme in this series?
All in all I loved the series and don't regret reading it. I love the author and look forward to reading more of her books.

I'm just going to come out and fess up, I did quite enjoy(ish) this series, it was an easy read but at the same time had some really annoying faults. This last book suffered from the 'Scooby Doo' syndrome. Honestly when the 'villain' was finally uncovered I could almost hear him say "I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids"
May 15, 2014
I have loved all four books in the series. The fourth book didn't have the adventures or scandals the rest of the series had. It tied everything up. Sienna and Harrison got their happy ending. They were so much in love. It was wonderful to see a leading male show how much in love he is. Always showing Sienna how much she is loved and cared for
October 28, 2016
I love the ending to this book! Harrison's devotion to Siena throughout it all had my heart in my throat a couple of times! I love how they worked through everything that was thrown at them. I don't normally read racing romance as I am not a racing fan, but I highly recommend this series. I read this book from begining to end without putting it down.
June 18, 2014
I love this series but this book dragged on a little bit. I was hoping for just a little more but am glad that all things worked out in the end and I got my happily ever after which I was expecting. I will miss these characters and I'm glad that I read these books.
February 17, 2014
I liked the fact that we got too see more of Siena and Harrison outside out the race environment but this book was a bit too long and without a real purpose. I was just waiting for her to announce the news and be done with it. Took a real long time.
January 20, 2015
YEt again totally loved this book !!
We're in the final laps of Siena and Harrisons race, and what a race it's been, but can they reach the finish line without any hitches ?? This one had me laughing crying and laughing again such a rollercoaster of emotions totally loved it !
