Aflame

The tables have turned. Now I have the power—and it’s his turn to beg…

Everyone wants to be me.

Maybe it’s the sway of my skirt or the way I flip my hair, but I don’t care. Even though their attention is the last thing I crave, I just can’t stop. I dominate the track, the speed rattles my bones, and the wind and the crowd screams my name.

I’m her. The girl driver. The queen of the race. And I’m surviving—something he thought I’d never do.

They all still talk about him. Did you see Jared Trent on T.V? What did you think of his last race, Tate? When is he coming back to town, Tate?

But I refuse to care too much. Because when Jared does come home, I won’t be here.

Tatum Brandt is gone. I’m someone new.

* I have listened to this whole series on Audio books. If your looking for a good audio book I highly recommend this series the narrators were fantastic. 

I read a author question and answer session on good reads about this book and the one question that stuck out was that folks thought Jared & Tate's story had ended and was in a good place. At the end of "Falling Away" there was some underlining issues flaring up with them so for me things weren't settled after reading that book. 

Jared leaving is heart breaking but I see his reasons. Tate just can't see past her pain to truly get why Jared must go so she does the best she can at moving on. Some bad timing and more heart break keeps them apart even longer. When Jared finally comes back to town he has no idea he would run head first in to Tate. They fall into old hateful habits but as things progress Tate see's what she should have all along. Jared is now ready to fight for what is his, Tate. It's a beautiful story that was needed for us to finally close the book on their story. The sex scenes were hot, rough & steamy. The ending was amazing it really gives us full closer on everyone.
