Alex’s Destiny by Amy Gregory
Racing to Love #4
Published: 11/01/2013
Genre: Contemporary Romance
~Synopsis~
Her destiny was written for her, long before she was ever born. She embraced it, wanting nothing more than to give everything within her back to the sport in which she was considered royalty. Her family’s legacy would live on, revered by all. And she thrived on the long work days she spent teaching at the academy her blood was tied to. Alexandra Sterling needed that dirt track as much as she needed her next breath.
That same track was the one that drew in a young student years before. Alex had given her heart away the day they met, knowing that he belonged to only her. For years she’d waited, knowing without a single doubt that he’d make her his when the time was right.
But… she’d never asked Dallas if he felt the same way.
Her hurt leaves her vulnerable, her days dark and her instincts dulled. After one night of hell, Alex is lost. Her world is crumbling around her, and without her lifeline and best friend beside her anymore, there’s nothing to keep her from sinking with it.
Dallas Hunter is a pro rider on the motocross circuit, following in the footsteps of his father Eli. For Dallas, it’s always been Alex, but he’s kept his feelings locked away out of fear, his love for their family, his biggest obstacle.
One short and chilling phone call to her puts him on high alert. Knowing something is terribly wrong sends him racing across the country, back home, back to her. But what he finds almost kills him.
Now he’s watching her slip away right before his very eyes. Figuring out how to help Alex before it’s too late, might turn out to be harder than any race he’s ever ridden. And he has to do it with his team and sponsors screaming at him from the other side, trying to pull him back to the world he’s dedicated his entire life to.
Dallas knows he has to help his best friend, the woman he loves…and do it without tearing his family apart.

My Review: 
4.3 Star Review – Alex’s Destiny

 

I recommend this book.

This book is about friends to lovers. 
Dallas is seven years older than Alex so that leads to issues.  He thinks he is too old for her and she is too young for him.  Even with this difference they are really close.  They talk every day. 
It was only a matter of time before someone got there heart broken.  After Dallas breaks Alex’s heart what will happen with the relationship. 
Will even the friendship survive the aftermath or is all lost.  What happens after Alex is attacked?
Love both of these characters.  You can feel the deep underlining love between them throughout the book. Dallas is a sweetheart throughout the story. 
 
I feel parts of the story were rushed.  Would have liked a little more of the relationship in the story.

When asked ‘when do you have time to write’, Amy Gregory simply laughs.  The real answer is, “in bits and pieces”.  She and her husband live in Kansas City with their three fantastic kids that keep them running in three very different directions.  Because she sits so much, she always carries a notebook with her at all times.
She has an off the wall, snarky, off the cuff sense of humor that often shocks even those who’ve known her for years.  And she loves that her children have all been blessed that ability to make others laugh as well.  At least she’s grateful most of the time!  Her husband often teases her about how she “makes this stuff up” when he’s reading a piece of her work. The answer—“it just comes to me when I’m typing”. Scary thought, huh!

When Detective Mike Sterling left the Chicago PD and returned to his hometown of Renlend Kansas, he tried to convince himself it was so his mother could stop worrying. The truth was, even Renlend wasn’t going to vanquish the dreams that tortured him at night. 

When Taryn Watts landed in Renland Kansas to design a client’s new cooking school she intended to stay just long enough to do the job and then go right back to her life on the East Coast. 

When Taryn and Mike found themselves sharing a booth, one thing was certain, neither one of them thought it was a good idea. Mike still wasn’t over his ex-wife’s betrayal, and when Taryn found out Mike was a cop she wanted to run all the way back to Connecticut and never look back, but she couldn’t… Sitting outside his home late at night she watches him fight against his demons.

My Review: 


4.5 Star Review – Mike’s Way Back

I recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book by Amy. 

You may have met Mike during “Racing to Love” but you get to know him better in this story.  Mike is working through issues with his past during this book. 
Taryn hates to be controlled and is worried that is what Mike wants to do to her like her family.  Can they both trust each other and built a relationship together. Does she want to help him fight demons in order to be with him?
Fell in love with Mike in this story he is sweet and loving.  Taryn is tough but can Mike soften her harder edges.  Can he trust her to help him fight his own demons.
Totally love this story and can’t wait for the next one in this series.
