The Women are Caricatured, But the Men Are Complex
I'll get this out of the way, first- there were multiple, noticeable and distracting spelling/grammar errors in this story.
This is true erotica, in that Ellie doesn't grow much outside of connecting to her sexuality with the Crew. So the steamy scenes trump character development. Hawk and the Crew keep it 100, and are who they are unapologetically. Narrated through Ellie's experience only, the opening story sets the tone for what will come next in the series, well. Shakira and Ellie could also have been written less as stereotypes and polar opposites. The others in this multicultural crew are handled well, as is much of Ellie's inner dialogue about the men. It's mainly the women who are drawn as caricatures of the blonde innocent and the Black round-the-way (but prudish and disapproving) experienced girl.
This was a riveting read! I believe that an Instagram story drew me to this delicious and dirty book. Those are doing a great job actually! Ellie has a car issues when she drops a classmate off in a rough part of town. Her life will be changed forever when a crew of street racers come to her rescue in more ways than one! Ellie finds out quickly that her bland life has no passion with her awkward and prim boyfriend. I feel like The Fast and Furious was a muse and I love that hard! Vin Diesel has been my muse for 20+ years. Though I kept picturing the young Dom from Fast 9 as Hawk. So hot and I loved this for Ellis. I do wish it was longer and we knew more about Ellie and her background. I also wanted to know MORE!!! What happened next? Did Ellie graduate and get a job and move in with Hawk? Mines is a great writer and so descriptive, I was pulled in and felt like I was there in the story!
This is nothing more that a quick afternoon romp. If you're looking for something deep, then this isn't for you. It's like watching bad adult movies that you can't look away from. It's deeply satisfying, in it's own way. The whole storyline is a bit over the top, and Ellie reminded me of a female version of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. Good for her for going after what she wants and becoming comfortable with her needs. And, I'll probably read the other books just to see what happens.
Sexual Content (1-5): way over a 5, Explicit and steamy and hot enough to get your panties wet and pass them around. Level of Violence: None. Cliffhanger? Nope. But there are more books if you want to know how things turn out. Series? Yes. Will I Recommend This Book? Yes, if it's your thing. Don't be shocked and offended.
Always great to find new writers you like, but this is even better. Such a hot read. So many firsts for her, but she is enjoying them very much and so am I reading about it. Pfff, I couldn't stop reading, I had to know what was going to happen next and if she was really into it. And yes she was.
Strange enough the way the man were taking care of her especially Hawk and how they share her, felt natural to read about. Because it made her happy and feeling so good.
I was expecting a romance-ish novel. This was erotica with a twist of romance.. which was also not what I was expecting. I have never read one of these types of books. However, I actually found myself tearing up at one point when Hawk is banging another girl while El looked on. It has a ton of sex but an interesting twist to the affection between the characters. Well painted characters in vibrant world.
Wow this is one sizzling hot read.! Ellie is very innocent an is shown an erotic fancy that NP one could ever imagine will falling love with Hawk. But Hawk is so stupid to realize it!! Great story I am now hooked i can't wait for to read each crewman story! I recommend reading this book!
I really wanted to like this book. One woman and several sexy street racers. Very hot! I felt like the FMC in this was not allowed a say in any part of the relationship other than not to have one at all. No compromise. Everything was about the men and what they wanted. I felt she was being used. I could not get past this feeling and will most likely not read another book in this series.
Holy hotness! This was taboo, naughty, and delightful. An innocent girl gets the ride of her life when she ends up with a flat tire. What happens next was a delicious romance read with characters sizzle and an entertaining storyline that will leave you hot and bothered from start to finish makes this first book in the series a must read. I can’t wait for more!
Ok, I don’t know what it says about me that I loved this story!! Ellie is a straight laced science geek through and through but one night of naughty fun opens her eyes to a world of dirty, kinky sexy fun with not just one man, but three!! I loved every minute of this story!!
Sweet, sweet Ellie what a twist of her life. She goes from one extreme to another – but it seems like she found her “calling”. Those street racers damn – cue drool. I like this story a LOT – it is one of those books I will read multiple times and it stays on my kindle!
A little unconventional of a romance but variety is the spice of life. The story reads more like a frat party but a very straight forward one. Do not read if sharing and voyeurism bother you.
A different kind of happily ever after but a entertaining read. A great start to the series. This is a new Author for me and will definitely read more of her books.
