Speed. Power. Accuracy. All things needed in racing, but for Brandon, Chris, Jason, and Eric it applies to far more...Four friends’ love of speed and uniquely powerful cars makes them unwitting targets for harm.
Brandon, Chris, Jason, and Eric do not understand why a plot to destroy them is concocted, but they refuse to sit idle as it works against them. All of their past lives catch up with them, including some rather unexpected and dangerous associations. Throughout the twist and turns, the group with a reputation for impossible-to-beat cars and trucks manages to remain inseparable. Within the turmoil, they never lose their open and friendly nature to those wanting to be a part of the now renowned E85. However, their insular, expanded, core group forges diamond-like bonds that create new futures with, and for, themselves.
It is evident that whatever ordeal awaits them, this unlikely but well-matched group will band together, but will they be able to thwart everything that threatens their safety and happiness?
As an architect and a car fanatic, Derain Collier has an enduring love for the built environment and of fast transportation. A life long obsession with cars has led him down a long, sometimes meandering path to being an author. Mostly it is his sudden craving for romance novels around cars (Hey, everyone loves a good love story here and there. Don't judge me.)
He practices architecture, and car tuning, as a day job and by night, he continues to explore the various sectors of car culture and unconventional romance in a Not-Always-Perfect fictional metropolis Manzano Springs, New Mexico.
Hooooo-my-Gah! That was wild. Chris and Brandon show clear signs they've seen a lot more than they ever expected. It's a pretty realistic depiction. And OMG Darren that poor guy!
Not trying to give anything away but omg. So many questions got answered but I still have a few more. It's way longer than the other books, but it's enthralling the entire way.
Be warned there is definitely some trigger warnings needed here. CSA is mentioned as part of a character's past... This was a book that sent me through all of the emotions multiple times. Real tears and real laughs.
