“Skye Callahan created a hero with dark delicious edges. The Redline Series is everything a romance should be.” Pepper Winters, NYT Bestselling Author From the bestselling author of Irrevocable comes an adrenaline-packed romantic suspense where two worlds collide in pain, pleasure, lust, and danger…. I screwed up.Indebted to a vile “businessman”, he offers one chance to pay back my debt, but only … to a vile “businessman”, he offers one chance to pay back my debt, but only if I spend the next two years stripping in his club. Stripping. Catering to the most debauched men I can imagine.
Until I meet Colt.
A man just as twisted. Just as dangerous. But once I willingly climb into his car, I know there’s no turning back. Now, I’m indebted to a car thief. And he has no intent of letting me forget our deal.
Once the fuse is ignited, I have no choice but to watch my world burn.
I prefer cars to people.
Simple as that.
There’s nothing like the roar of a V8 engine, especially if I just stole it and I’m barreling down the highway past every oblivious cop in town. I need adrenaline. The rush. The never-ending pull. It’s the only thing that keeps me away from my other vice…
And then, I decided to bring a stripper home. Someone I can introduce to my love of pain. And even better, a pawn in my ultimate plan for revenge against my brother. Call me cliche. Call me petty. But once this plan is set into action. Ashville will never be the same.

This book sure was something else. I honestly don’t even know where to start. I actually don’t even know if I’m happy with giving it three stars. At times I felt like this book was at a five star level and at times at three stars at most. Confusing really, but the good kind of confusing.
What I can really appreciate in a book is it’s originality and it’s own plot and idea. Too often I feel like I’m reading – maybe not ripoffs, but books too closely inspired and lead by other books or themes. This book however is one of a kind. It had its own plot, it’s own idea. I don’t know if it was inspired by something else (don’t think there is anything out there that isn’t, honestly) but I have never read anything similar.
I like that the author put an effort to making the plot and storyline a bit more complex and complicated than a simple and easy to follow plot one usually find in a book. While some may find it more relaxing to read that, I prefer a story closer to real life. Because what life is easy? Who’s relationship is not messy from time to time? And who lives a black and white life? It’s supposed to be gray, it’s supposed to be a bit complicated and messy. Not everything is happy and rainbows and all that stuff. We all have downfalls and insecure moments and this author expertly wrote an entire story complementing that. It made me feel much stronger for the characters and it made their flaws and downfalls so much more real. That is a great way to invest a reader in the story.
Then there were things that I could not get behind. I’m guessing that this was a series of books made into one which made the story so long. Ordinarily I would not have a problem with that, but even if I look separately at every volume, the story sometimes just wore on and on and not developing at a good pace. I at some parts even got bored with the story. Even if I look individually at one of the parts (that I think is supposed to be one book of the series) it does not follow well the other parts well. There is a rise and excitement in the beginning and in the end. The middle part needs to be spiced up a bit.
Another thing that I missed is the strong connection between Aubrey and Colt. I never felt that they really belonged together. I mean, they had barely anything else to talk about except what they have been through. I never felt like they connected on any emotional level or that there was much else between them than sexual tension and perhaps a hint of care. This is fine in the beginning of the story, but I wish their relationship would have built up to something more stronger, developed into a more loving and open relationship with both more fun and relaxing moments as well as the tougher and painful moments. There were just always a bit to much tension and too little bonding.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story and absolutely recommend others to read it
Caught me from the first page……didn’t want to put it down till the end..,.good read!
