Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old Holly Pearson never
dreamed that while working at her father’s motocross track she’d run into the
walking, talking definition of trouble in a sexy, tattooed package—Trip
Douglas, the man sent to evaluate the track for a possible investment opportunity.
Holly makes no attempt to hide the fact she despises Trip, but she learns to be
civil toward him when he offers to help her land the man of her dreams.
Trip needs a break from the crazy
rock-and-roll lifestyle he’s been living for the past few years. With his Black
Falcon band mates settling down with marriage and babies, Trip peruses an
investment opportunity in motocross, something he’s always been passionate
about. Hiding his celebrity status, Trip infiltrates the new business posing as
a dirt bike rider training for the X-Games. The only obstacle is the owner’s
daughter, Holly. She’s a real ball bustin' Ice Queen, and she’ll do whatever it
takes to make the deal fall through. Trip soon discovers that winning over his
new enemy is the key to gaining a partnership in Mountain Time Speed Track.
Knowing he’s the expert on getting laid,
Trip ropes Holly into becoming his ally by helping her score a date with the
man she’s crushing on. The problem is, the more time Trip and Holly spend
together, the more they uncover the undeniable attraction between them. Soon
they both realize that even the best laid plans go to hell when you find you’re
falling in love with the enemy.

NIKKI'S REVIEW
I was so excited to get this book. After the last installment of Riff, which was hotter than hot and super sweet, I couldn't wait to get Trips story. I have learnt that Michelle Valentine provides us with Sweet, funny, and very sexy characters and it's hard not to fall in love woth each one as you go along.
Trip Douglas is the drummer in the band Black Falcon...(I'm a sucker for the drummer!)
Up until now, the Douglas brothers were kept pretty mysterious so i was unsure what to expect.
You want me to tell you what to expect?..Trip Douglas is Dirrrrtttyyy! He has a filthy mouth and i loved it! He's a fairly quiet member of the band, easy going, happy to go along with things for an easy life but underneath those still waters is a fast flowing river of filthy words and dirty thoughts!
He is a clever man, investing well to enable him to have his future set up incase the Black falcon band decide to call it a day. He is told of an investment opportunity at the Mountain Time speed track and goes undercover to check it out for himself. This is where he meets Holly.
Holly is the daughter of the Mountain Time speed track owner. She has returned from 2 years away at school to help her father who is struggling to keep the business afloat. She is concerned by her fathers deteriorating health which she puts down to him working so hard and worrying about finances. She's not unworldy and has a savvy brain. But when it comes to men, she is blinded by her ex boyfriend Jackson. He's her first love, or at least she thinks she loved him. He's a sexy celebrity biker and carries huge prestige. He knows how to sweet talk her and tries to wrap her around his little finger.
I cannot tell you hpw happy I was when she finally woke up and saw him for the nasty piece of work that he is. He let her down over and over.
When Trip and Holly meet, the attraction is instant. Holly tries to feign irritation with him to cover up the feeling that he strips her bare every time he looks her way.
His quick, smart, filthy mouth doesn't help her attraction but she tries to surpress her feelings as she knows a tattooed bad boy like him will only break her heart. She is blissfully unaware of his position in the band and celeb status, and makes it very clear that she would never again date someone high profile as she wouldn't risk her heart that way.
Their little game to make Jackson jealous quickly escalates. The attraction that they put on for show is very real and you can feel the chemistry bouncing between them.
'Get ready sweetness. There's a whole lot more where that came from. I'm the self proclaimed Orgasm King.'
There are some very sensitive issues dealt with in the book. I was so surprised them and I think it's the first time i've read a book that has dealt with them. What an amazing job Michelle did with it! They are definitely issues that needed addressing, they are important and took a huge role in the shaping of this book.
Don't be fooled by the seriousness of my above statement, there is plenty of Michelle's signature smut! Teamed with Love and sweetness.
'I like myself better when i'm with you. You and me-we're perfection.'
Yet another of the Black Falcon boys earns a little piece of my heart and I am definitely looking forward to Tyke's story. He's the last of the boys to find love and settle down and I can't wait to see what Michelle has in store for him.
3.5 - 4 'wash your mouth out with soap and water' stars!!

EXCERPT
“What’s
wrong with famous people?”
“What’s
not wrong with them?” She lets out a
sarcastic laugh. “They’re egotistical, beautiful and they know it. Cheat on you
any chance they get. You know, the real full of themselves types.” She gives me
a pointed look. “Kind of like you.”
I
don’t know why, but my heart drops into my stomach. It’s not like I’d ever date
her, but hearing her confirm there’d be no way she’d date a celebrity like me
is crushing.
I
laugh nervously and do my best to throw her off my rock star scent. “Well, I
can promise you that I’m just a regular guy. But I won’t argue with you about
me being beautiful. The ladies do love me, especially the cougars. They’re all
over this shit.” I make a show of grabbing my junk.
“Eww.
You are so gross,” she mumbles.
I
laugh at her salty reaction. “Don’t knock it. There’s something to be said
about experience. I’m total cougar bait and I appreciate a woman who rides cock
well.”
