Outrun Me
Not yet published
Expected 24 Nov 26Elliott Reid has spent years building fast cars, winning races, and making sure everyone around her looks good while she stays in the background. After walking away from the boyfriend who took far more credit than he deserved, she’s finally ready to prove that she can make a name for herself without anyone standing in front of it.
Working for Torrin Paul was meant to be part of that fresh start. He’s one of the most respected names in street racing, owns the kind of performance shop Elliott has always dreamed of, and sees her talent in a way no one else ever has. The problem is that the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them, especially when Torrin happens to be the one man she has absolutely no business wanting.
Because he isn’t just her boss.
He’s her ex-boyfriend’s father.
With reputations, relationships, and more than a few finish lines standing between them, Elliott knows crossing that line could make everything far more complicated than either of them is prepared for.
But she’s never been very good at backing down from a challenge.

5 books47 followersHi, I’m Caitlin Titman, a military spouse, mom of four, and professional photographer with a lifelong love of storytelling.
I’ve been an avid reader since second grade, when I first discovered how powerful it felt to disappear into a book. Stories have always been my escape, my comfort, and my inspiration. Over time, that love of reading grew into a desire to tell my own stories, the kind that pull you in, keep you up too late, and stay with you long after you turn the last page.
When I’m not behind the camera capturing fleeting moments, I’m at home with my family, reading late into the night, or dreaming up new characters and worlds. Writing is more than a hobby for me. It is a passion rooted in the belief that stories connect us, challenge us, and remind us we are never alone.
Thank you for being here and for giving my words a place in your life.

I loved this book so much!!
The street racing and car scene was such a fun setting for this story. If you loved fast and furious this is a must read!!! I know enough about cars to follow along, but you definitely don’t need to be a car expert to enjoy this book. The racing, builds, and everything surrounding that world added so much to the story without taking away from the romance.
I absolutely loved Elliott. She’s stubborn, competitive, talented, and the kind of FMC who can hold her own. And Torrin? Yeah… I knew I was going to like that man. Their chemistry and banter had me from the beginning, and I loved watching their relationship develop.
One of my favorite things was that this wasn’t only about the romance. There are friendships, family dynamics, complicated relationships, and personal growth throughout the story. I ended up caring about way more of these characters than I expected to.
The racing scenes were exciting, the spice was SPICY, and there were so many moments that had me laughing, yelling at these characters, or smiling at my book.
By the time I reached the end, I wasn’t ready to leave them, and that’s usually one of the biggest signs of a 5-star read for me.
If you like age gap, forbidden romance, forced proximity, street racing, banter, tension, spice, and a strong FMC who can hold her own, definitely add Outrun Me to your TBR!

This book is DEFINITELY one of my top favorites!
If you love Fast & Furious, yearning, top-tier banter, and SPICE, then buckle up because this book is for YOU! 🏎️🔥
Torrin and Elliott’s story is one you will NOT want to put down!
And can we talk about Elliott for a second?! Who doesn't love a badass FMC?! Elliott is determined to make a name for herself on her own terms, without being tied to anyone else's reputation. Not only is she one hell of a mechanic, but she's an even better driver. A woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it? YES, PLEASE! 👏🏻
The tension, the chemistry, the yearning between Torrin and Elliott?! ABSOLUTELY DEVOURED IT.
And the banter?! TOP TIER. Not just between Torrin and Elliott, but between the entire crew! Vinny is hands down one of my favorite side characters. He brings so much to the story, and I absolutely loved every scene he was in!
If you're looking for a racing romance filled with tension, unforgettable characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and enough spice to keep things interesting, Outrun Me needs to be on your TBR!
Caitlin Titman, you absolutely KILLED IT with this one! 🖤🏁

OMG! This is one of my favorite standalones I’ve read this year. If you like Fast & Furious, you’ll love this. It has all the things you look for in a romance, banter, slow burn, forced proximity & more! Elliot is a mechanic and racer who just wants to be known for being herself and not somebody’s mechanic. Torrin is a dad who’s already had the fame of being the best street racer. When Torrin and Elliot meet for the first time they race and Elliot beats Torrin and literally the rest is history. They have so much chemistry between them, and the tension in this book is top tier. Also, the plot in this book is such a good refresher because it’s easy to follow. Also did I mention that Torrin is Elliot’s ex boyfriends dad therefore there’s an age gap between them 🫣

Okay, Caitlin!! At it again with this one. So far, this is my number one of the books you’ve written that I’ve read! 🖤🏁
One of my favorite things about this book was how easily I connected with Elliott. I’m not a mechanic, and I don’t share that part of her world, but so much of her background and her story resonated with me on a personal level. It’s those relatable female struggles and men who just can’t get it together (or do anything for themselves—seriously, what would men do without women in their lives?)! 🙄 😒 There was something about her that made me genuinely invested in what she was going through. I needed to know how things would unfold for her and where she’d end up by the time I turned the last page.
The opening chapters pulled me in FAST. There were so many questions I needed answered, and I kept finding myself wanting to read just a little more to see what would happen next. Torrin and Elliott? The chemistry and banter between them had me going for sure. Their interactions were so entertaining, and I loved seeing how their relationship developed. As someone who’s relatively new to romance, I also really enjoyed the slow-burn approach. It gave me time to get invested in their relationship before things started heating up, which made those spicy scenes even better!
But what I REALLY loved was that the story had so much happening beyond the romance. I’m a sucker for a good subplot, and I appreciated how much thought went into the other characters and their stories. The friendships, family dynamics, and individual struggles all contributed something meaningful to the bigger picture. I love when side characters have lives and relationships of their own rather than existing solely to support the main couple, and this book gave me plenty of reasons to care about what was happening outside of Elliott and Torrin, too.
As for the cars… I know a little about them, but I actually picked up some new things while reading, which I loved. That said, you absolutely do not need to know anything about mechanics or street racing to enjoy this book. Shoot, I don’t think most people watching Fast & Furious are sitting there critiquing the mechanics! 😂
You’ve officially set the bar pretty high for yourself with this one!
If you love a strong independent FMC who has had to fight her way to where she is, a love story that takes its time developing, and side characters who bring their own substance to the story, what are you waiting for?? Preorder Outrun Me so you can read it right on release day, it’s worth it I promise! && if you’re a Fast & Furious fan who happens to enjoy a little romance with your racing, even better. 😉🏎️🖤

Review of advance copy received from Author
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I devoured this!
I started it thinking "just a few chapters" and next thing I know I'm up way too late, still reading, still thinking about them.
Elliott Reid is my kind of heroine. Sh been building fast cars and winning races for years while everyone else got the credit — especially her ex. She walks away, decides she's finally going to make a name for herself, and she means it. She's stubborn, she's talented, she's competitive, and she does not back down. I loved her immediately.
Then she goes to work for Torrin Paul. And Torrin? Oh my God. He owns the performance shop she's always dreamed of, he actually sees her talent, and the tension between them from the very first race? I was hooked. He's older, he's experienced, he's the most respected name in street racing — and he's also her ex-boyfriend's father. The forbidden part of it is so good because it's not just for drama, it makes everything so much more complicated and so much more delicious.
The slow burn killed me. The banter, the forced proximity, the yearning, the "we absolutely should NOT do this" of it all - and it was SPICY. Like, fan-yourself, need-a-minute spicy. And it's earned, which makes it so much better.
But what really got me is this isn't just a romance. The racing scenes had my heart pounding, the friendships and the shop crew and the family stuff made me care about everyone, not just Elliott and Torrin. I loved the side characters.
You absolutely do not have to be a car person to love this. If you loved Fast & Furious, you will love this world.
I finished it and I wasn't ready to leave them. That's my tell for a 5-star read every time. Elliott fighting to be known for herself, Torrin learning to let someone in, and that messy, complicated, impossible pull between them — it just hit me.
If you love age-gap, ex-boyfriend's dad, forbidden romance, forced proximity, top-tier banter, and a strong FMC who can hold her own on the track and in the garage, run — don't walk — and add Outrun Me to your TBR.
Caitlin Titman, you took the checkered flag with this one.

Okay Caitlin did her big one with this one. I have ALWAYS loved the Fast and Furious movies. This book definitely gives those vibes. I loved the FMC being a strong-minded woman. I loved the shop talk, the banter, Vinny made me think of my own dad at times. I loved the back and forth. The way I caught myself smiling at the page. Also loving the fact that there was no third-act break-up. I know that’s the norm for a lot of romance books but this was very refreshing. Seeing the “older and wiser” side of our MMC standing up to his son and saying simply no, I won’t stop seeing her. I marked this with spoilers just in case someone doesn’t want to see that much information. lol I devoured this book. Couldn’t put it down. If you like age gap, ex-boyfriends’ dad, forced proximity, banter and just a damn good time. Go get this book!

This book was so good I read it in like 28 hours!
This Fast & Furious themed love story captivated me from the beginning.
Elliott is the kind of FMC that I like to see. She’s a strong, independent, takes no shit kind of woman! She doesn’t rely on anyone else to get ahead in life. She has earned everything by working hard.
Torrin Paul is a known in the community for his successful performance shop. He also just so happens to be Elliott’s ex-boyfriends dad 🫣
When these two are forced to come together you get tension, yearning, banter and that proximity that I know we all devour.
The book is an easy to follow read that will have you giggling from the get go. Caitlin really outdid herself with this one. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This book is amazing! So great from start to finish. It’s fast paced and action filled. There is never a dull moment. The details that went into writing this story is remarkable. The FMC is so strong, feisty and badass I want to be just like her. The age gap between the MC’s almost goes unnoticed because the MMC is so swoon worthy. I loved their story and the realness of their lives.
Highly recommend to anyone who wants to fall in love with a story that based on fast cars and fast love.

I really liked the play on The Fast and The Furious movies. I liked how a lot of the stuff was incorporated into the story.
If you’re a fan of the movie franchise you’ll love this book.
I think we all have never gotten over the heartbreak from Paul Walker a.k.a. Brian, this will give you some of those vibes.

Honestly even if you’re not really into cars, you would still probably enjoy this! The plot was amazing and the chemistry between the characters was 🔥🥵

This one is for the car girlies!!! This book brought me so much nostalgia as the oldest daughter who spent most of my childhood with a flashlight in my hand bent over a car in my dad's garage. I loved the characters in this story so much. Elliott is a strong independent FMC who can hold her own in a male dominated field!
October 28, 2026
I loved this book so much!!! It is an absolute must read. You have a strong independent FMC who earned her place. The yearning and forbidden romance in the book is literally to die for. I also can’t forget about the street racing which gave off so much Fast & Furious vibes. I literally can’t recommend this book enough!!
