High Octane #2
High Octane: Fueled
Maddux Bates’s Formula One racecar isn’t the only thing that needs an overhaul this season. The Texan rebel’s bad boy behavior on and off-track last year won him the championship—and an image problem. Now he needs to keep his sponsors happy, his car on course, and his exploits out of the tabloids.
Oncologist Brynn Douglas spent the last dozen years buried in school, patient charts, and research. But the reality of practicing medicine—at least at the prestigious Gates Institute—isn’t what she’d hoped. Then a seventy-year-old billionaire shows up in her office with an irresistible proposition: play the role of his girlfriend while secretly treating his blood cancer as they travel the F1 circuit.
When their paths collide, Maddux quickly sets his sights on Brynn. He’s used to taking what he wants, but if the media catches him romancing a seemingly taken woman, the bad press might get him fired. One complicated relationship should be more than enough for Brynn, but every time she sees the sexy Texan, their attraction burns hotter.
Falling in love on the F1 circuit is a crash course in adrenaline. Will Maddux and Brynn’s race to the finish end in a total blowout or total victory?

Fueled is a standalone novel in the High Octane series by Rachel Cross. Another solid storyline reached out and grabbed my attention from beginning to end. The characters had depth, emotion and lots of smoking hot chemistry. Really enjoying this series and I would definitely recommend this series!!

2.5 stars
Pros
+ I am truly shocked at the fact that there was an actual plot (even though the premise is extremely unbelievable)
Cons
- The premise of a secretly traveling oncologist makes absolutely no sense
- Almost no actual Formula 1 action. All of the races are described in passing.

Nice and easy read that passed away a Saturday afternoon. Steamy action and a building romance based loosely around Formula 1. We are big F1 fans in my household and I would have liked to see a bit more action around the pit and track part, but this was good enough.

4.5/5.0
The second standalone book in the F1 series proves to be fast-paced both on and off the track!
Read full review in the 2015 June issue of InD'tale Magazine.

An intriguing story with a clever and funny ploy. Enjoyed. Will be reading more from this author. I received this book from Goodreads.
