Poignant second chance at a first love with the one that got away
Full Throttled is the first book in The Furiously Fast Series and is the story of Drake James and Zoey Hechler. This is a poignant and pull at your heartstrings second chance at love story. Drake and Zoey were friends when they were kids but each had very different homes and families. Zoey has come back to town after being away for six years. As they say a lot can happen in that time and it has. But when Zoey an Drake are reunited again it is just when they each need. Things are not perfect to being with and they both have to deal with some issues. But with the support of the other they will be able to come together and get an HEA of their own definition.
Once again Stephanie Nichole has written a wonderful book that is filled with a number of themes but at the forefront of it all is the relationship between Drake and Zoey. They were quite literally made for each other but as with most things in life they have to still fight to get there.
The story-line combines a number of different things including friends, family, second chance at a first love, regrets, a MC, street racing and more. But a lot of it is woven in so it is secondary and just adds a bit of spice to the main story-line. This is a well written and engaging book.
What’s better than a second chance romance? One that also has a hot single dad! Every second of this book was amazing. You’ll have to read it to find out why….
Full Throttled was so good and was such an awesome story, I did not want it to end !! The single father “dad muffin”, sweet little girl, oh my heart !! Absolutely could not put it down !! I am so looking forward to more !!
“I’ve just finished Full Throttled and what a magnificent story I read. Zoey and Drake’s journey was so delightful to read. Between the flashbacks and the present moment after so many years gave a good backup story. Drake is a single, hardworking dad and Zoey’s life hasn’t been easy. After so many years they reconnect and their second chance started. The tension between them and the romance was addictive and intriguing.”
“Sometimes, I feel like I’m a book he read while I was sleeping and memorized all his favorite lines.” Gah! This book grabbed me by my feelings and wouldn’t let go.
This is an immensely fun (and emotional, yay!) second chance romance, so of course I read it in one sitting. Drake is the ultimate book boyfriend– bad-boy looks with a heart of gold (swoon!) and an adorable little girl that could melt the hardest of hearts. Zoey is an absolute hot mess at first but honestly, that just makes me love her more. This is a couple that you root for from the very beginning: relatable with off-the-charts chemistry, cute nicknames, and great banter.
The entire cast of characters is quirky, caring, and good-looking, and they make me want to learn about bikes or cars or SOMETHING so they’d hang out with me. Being married to a total car guy made me enjoy the story even more (especially because there may or may not be some street racing involved )
While this book is technically a spinoff, it doesn’t need any help standing on its own– you don’t have to read anything before you read this one, but trust me, you’ll want more of the James Brothers once you’re done.
A spin off series for the James Brothers Series? Um yes please! This story is about Drake, who we know as Sadie’s son. Well now he’s grow up and a single father. He is in Sons of Sin MC and owns his own business. He looks like a bad boy on the outside but inside he has the biggest heart. And that heart is still broken from the women who broke it years ago – Zoey. She was his childhood best friend. Then she left without a word and never spoke to him again. Until now. She’s back running from a bad decision. That urge to protect her is still so strong with Drake. But he can’t allow himself to fall for her again. Especially because he has a daughter to think about. But since when does love care about what we think is the right thing to do? Zoey and Drake’s attraction is still strong as ever. Zoey always saw Drake as her savior. She never knew his feelings were so strong for her. Part of her doesn’t feel she deserves him. But Drake is gonna show her the truth. Then the past for both of them comes into town and things get complicated. Drake may need to be Zoey’s savior again but she might also be the one to save him. I can’t express my love for this story enough and I am so excited about this series! Drake is so swoon worthy…omg! The chemistry is so powerful between Zoey and him. You will become instantly addicted to this story and a little sad when it ends, only because you’ll want more! Thankfully this is a series and I can’t wait for more!
3.5 stars. I loved the duel narration with both Zoey and Drake’s point of views expressed. I even enjoyed the flashbacks to the past when they were friends growing up. I would have liked a little more information about Zoey’s past and the experiences she had. However I don’t think they were necessary to the story overall. Drake and Zoey made a good couple and it was good to see them get their happy ending.
Drake James never thought his first love would return home. She did everything to avoid his attempts to reach her and finally moved on with his life. Being a single parent was difficult at times but his daughter made it all worth while. When Zoey walked back into his life his world shifted once again and he felt some peace that had been missing from his life. A great start to a new series and I love how the James’ family continues to make appearances throughout the story. A definite must read!
Loved this book with all the angst and twists and turns I didnt see coming. Very well written and I didnt want it to end. Second chance, love, angst, sexy, and so much more. A definite must read.

Drake and Zoey were childhood friends and when Zoey left unexpectedly leaving her friends and family wondering where she went and wondering why she left. Zoey comes home finally after being for a couple of years. Drake is one of the James’ boys and is a street racer. Drake is a single father that is trying to right by his daughter. This book is full of twist and turns that you don’t expect and have you guessing as to what is going to happen next. Even though Drake is a member of Sons of Sin MC it’s a small piece of this book but doesn’t make a big appearance in this book.

Full Throttled is an awesome book. There are some steamy sex scenes. Some action. Some racing. Lots of emotions and best of all Drake and Zoey get their HEA. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. Drake and Zoey has always had feelings for each other but both had some growing to do and needed to overcome some insecurities. Drake and Zoey grew up together and then Zoey left. Now that she is back she is mending broken relationships and proving that she can be trusted. Drake, Zoey, and Aubree are so easy to relate to and grow to love. I highly recommend this book.

OMG my heart!!! This book shattered me emotionally. Drake was utterly swoonworthy. The pull between Zoey & Drake was so magnetic. This is my first book by this author and she completely blew me away with this magnificent story!! Overall, this book was amazing. It was raw and emotional. Passionate and real. I highly recommend this book! I have to go purchase the five books from the James Brother series so I can get the scoop on those amazing men!
I love Stephanie Nichole’s work her James Brother series is one of my favourite reads so a spin off series was a definite yes please for me and this is definitely very similar but different enough that it felt fresh and new
Drake is Sadie’s son and while he may be a member of an MC and may look big and tough he is actually a gentle soul When Zoey comes to the clubhouse looking for her brother he is the one called by the prospect at the gate she has returned after hitting rock bottom with her boyfriend When she was younger she always hero worshipped Drake . Now as a single father he can’t afford trouble in his life but he can’t walk away from Zoey either Can they build a future together You will have to read to see
I really loved Drake and Zoey’s story. They meet as kids and become best friends, along with Zoey’s twin brother Zayde. Their history is complicated, which makes the present even more murkier than ever. Drake and Zoey always had a great connection but that changed when she left town. Their story is full of drama, some humor, a bit of suspense, but most of all love. This is for sure a must read.

Single dad?
Biker hottie?
Racer?
Full Throttled is the story of Zoey and Drake, one about second chance at love and forgiveness. They’re friends from a young age but with different lifestyles.
Zoey grew up with her dad and twin brother in the Biker club and her relationship with her dad was not a healthy one. After a while she lives and years later she comes back to her hometown.
Life for Drake was good but he was hurting but he has a beautiful baby girl Aubree. Together with Zoey they discover true love, family and forgiveness.
I really loved this book.
This book is amazing!
First of all, I love that it’s about a lot of tropes I like (Single dad, Friends to Lovers, Brother’s Best Friend and Second Chance romance).
I love the chemistry between the main characters and that they practically fell in love at first sight.
I think it’s impossible not to fall in love with Drake James, not only because his the sweetest but he’s also a great father, putting his daughter above everything and I think that makes a man even more handsome.
I really recommend this book, it’s going to make you cry, laugh and smile and your going to want a Drake James for yourself.
