He was the boy who broke my heart, and the man my body craved against my will.
I recognized the danger in those sexy hazel eyes, but the illicit thrill only drew me closer to the one boy I should stay away from. Luc Rosetti, the son of my father’s fiercest rival. He stole my heart on a hot summer night under the boardwalk lights, far away from the racetrack. Then he left without a word. Shattering my trust, my world, and my defenseless heart.
I just finished picking up the pieces and moved on, when in walked the one person I never expected to see again. My body instantly reacted to the sinfully irresistible man who seemed to be hell-bent on racing his way back into my life, taking what he wanted, on and off the track.
And damned if that didn’t turn me on like anything else, despite knowing how destructive the consequences could be.
Luc revved me up like no one else. But how could I trust how he makes me feel and let go of the past?
Would the secrets and lies looming between us break my heart even more? Or could the one man who left me, alone and devastated years ago, put the broken pieces back together?
Get Revved Up on and off the track...steamy romance, featuring strong, sexy alpha males with heart and a competitive streak, and the sassy, passionate, unique women who love them!
*Track Me Down is the first book in the Revved Up Series! Alex and Luc's story is a duet*
Ariana can be found getting her Zen on while doing yoga, going for a run, or having a bourbon on Saturday nights while plotting the lives of her characters as they whisper and sometimes yell in her ear.
She lives her own Happily Ever After with her amazing husband, who shares her love of racing, comic books, and Firefly, along with her two spirited also amazing boys who love reading books under a blanket just as much as she does!
This book is amazing. The story line pulls you in from the prologue giving you the idea you’ll be left hanging, finished in book 2. But that doesn’t mean Ariana doesn’t take you back to how it all began. She gives you a love story that not only has you falling in love with her characters, but also racing. So many great lines. Tons of feelings. Lots of groveling. Luc will win you over while he’s doing his best to prove himself to Alex. Her debut book and it’s as good as so many others who’ve been doing this for years. This author is going places. Can’t wait for all she has planned for this series. I want all their stories.
Fast cars, a racetrack, grease and men… what could be better? This book is the first in the series, and ended on a cliff-hanger that definitely makes me want to read the next instalment. A little bit of humour, lots of sexual tension and well-developed characters and plot make this a great read. Can’t wait to see what happens with Alex and Luc!
Wow, what a debut! However, this is a book you may not want to read at work. The first chapter drew me in and had me on the edge of my seat. The main characters have a history together which causes some amazing tension. Ariana St. Claire had my heart breaking while my brain said "Ach!". Yes, there were times I couldn't string two words together to make a complete thought. I can't wait to see where the second book takes Alex & Luc!
What a great debut! I loved the tension between Luc and Alex and could feel the longing between them. Ao glad they were able to clear up the misunderstanding and I’m looking forward to reading the next part. I loved how Luc called her “darlin’”. So swoony.
I was blown away by this book. First of all, I'm pretty sure Ariana St. Claire is secretly a race car driver. Her knowledge of the vernacular and behind-the-scenes stuff was absolutely amazing. Fess up, Ms. St. Claire!
This was a second-chance romance and a they-should-have-been-enemies-but-wow-that-chemistry romance. (Is that a thing?) I never knew I needed racetrack romance in my life, but after reading this phenomenal book, I definitely do. It was all things you would expect from a book with race car driving as the theme: fast, greasy, hot, and dirty. Oh... so... dirty!
Luc Rosetti (how hot is that name, BTW?) is supposed to be Alex's enemy. After all, their fathers are FIERCE rivals, and for good reason. I got serious Romeo and Juliet/forbidden romance vibes from this book.
The author unfolds this story beautifully, going back to the past and offering you small hints, just little bits and pieces that make you scream, "Oh my God! What happened?" I was sucked in and wanted more, more, MORE!
And Ariana St. Claire gave me more. Luc Rosetti has a mouth on him that left me sweating as I read. That man is something else! You don't have to be a racing fan to adore this book. Luc's dirty talk alone is worth the read, so check it out TODAY! You won't be disappointed!
But it's not just the spicy stuff. The storyline and characters were so well-written, and I found myself reading late into the night just for a little bit more of Alex and Luc and the intrigue behind their past encounters and what that meant for their futures.
The ending made me go *click click... send book 2 to my Kindle ASAP.*
Track Me Down is a fun F1 romance following Luc and Alex. They are both children of famous race car drivers, specifically rival drivers. The summer before Alex went away for college, they spent an amazing week together but it ending in heartbreak and tragedy. Now, years later, Luc is back racing in the states and the two of them have to deal with the fallout from that week. I have only read one other F1 racing book, but you’ve sucked me in! I’m fully invested! I love the team dynamics, all the various components that go into a race day, and the characters Ariana created are amazing. I loved the baton hand off to the “next generation” too. Though I’d be interested to get their dad’s backstories too. I cannot wait to read Turn Me Loose after that ending!!
This story was riveting from start to finish, I couldn’t stop reading, i need to read the second book. So good the chemistry between the MC’s is amazing very hot, all the history even if short is full of want. And the drama at every corner. Just like in racing track, full of twists and turns and you can loose track of all the details because it goes so fast. Made me live racing btw. Gonna read the next one now!
Alex and Luc are HOT! I adore them and their Romeo and Juilet/ forbidden like love. Their fathers are rival racers with a past that meddles in with their relationship and what's holding Alex back. I loved the second chance, enemies to lovers esq of the story and absolutely can't wait to be done writing this review to jump into the next story! I need to know what the heck happened Ari!
This is book 1 in the Revved Up series, and if the rest of them are anything like this, I’m in trouble. Luc and Alex have so much baggage it’s almost ridiculous, I love it! He’s the arrogant Formula 1 driver who broke her heart years ago, and now he’s the last person she wants helping her save her family’s struggling racing team. The enemies-to-lovers tension is off the charts.
I really appreciated how much the racing aspect was woven into the story. It wasn't just fluff, the stakes on the track actually mirrored what was happening between them emotionally. You can feel the adrenaline in the scenes at the track, which balanced perfectly with the quiet, intense moments.
Also, the chemistry? Unmatched. It’s that kind of "I hate that I still want you" vibe that makes you fly through pages.
This book was hot, angsty, and super entertaining. If you’re looking for a fast-paced romance with a side of drama, grab this one.
This book, what can I say, other than it is fantastic and I cannot wait to get into the next one! This is a rival racing family where the kids have fallen in love and let me tell you. The angst is there, it is a bit of a slow burn but the 🌶️ is worth the wait! This whole world Ariana has built off this series is *chefs kiss*! Racing, romance and spice all in one book, perfection!
