He turned slightly in his chair to face me "I'll be honest, it was a date but it ended terribly."

"Why did it end terribly?"

Avery is beautiful, carefree and outspoken. Well, she used to be. She used to thrive on adrenaline and the only way she could fulfil that need was by riding her motorcycle.

Avery hasn't exactly lived the best life. With a violent ex-boyfriend, her father deserting then at a young age and her mum constantly high alongside her new husband, Avery and her sister Alena have all grown up in a messy and violent environment.

Determined to give her sister a proper upbringing, they escape to a new town and start a new life together, giving up on everything she loved in the process. Afraid of her part coming back to haunt her, she refuses to let anyone into her life. Her only focus is to look after her sister and get through senior year.

That is until she meets Jaxon Asher who comes crashing into her life, popular amongst his peers who is also well known in the racing scene. Avery is convinced he is like every other man who's crossed paths with her. Will he prove her fears right and confirm that all men are the same; abusive and controlling or will he show her that there is still love left in this world?

Opinion:
This is such a good book, however not much is answered in the first book and you definitely must read the sequel.
