Published: November 24th 2015
A sexy carjacker takes a would-be starlet for the ride of her life as a pulse-pounding new series from New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff begins.
Once the brains behind a car-boosting ring, Nic Medina has spent the last three years playing it straight. Now drag racers flock to his L.A. auto shop, Hotwired, for a shot at going head-to-head with the man himself. But when a crooked cop gives Nic a treacherous ultimatum—steal ten high-end cars or watch his nephew disappear into the system—he makes the only choice he can, one that puts the life he’s worked so hard for at risk. No sooner does Nic agree than he spots some nasty competition—and a gorgeous bystander in harm’s way.
A small-town girl with Hollywood dreams, Jordan Bass never expected to be swept up in a real-life drama. But that’s exactly what happens when she witnesses a violent crime. And when a smoldering stranger takes the wheel and practically kidnaps her in a desperate bid to keep her safe, she’s not sure whether to scream . . . or kiss him. Nic’s bad news—but the real bad guys aren’t above silencing a witness. On a collision course with danger, Jordan finds herself falling for the man whose street smarts are keeping her alive . . . and whose touch puts her in high gear.

Tracy Wolff has a new series… Hotwired… And I am hooked! I’m a fan of books or movies featuring fast cars, and this new series is my new obsession! The characters were flawed, with dark pasts, but easy to like and deserved a shot at happiness!
The first character I met was Jordan, and she was looking for a guy to help her with the seats of a new car she just purchased at an auction. Immediately I was thrown into the world of drag racing and hotted up cars! I was like a little girl, imagining all these bright fast cars… Anyway, she locks eyes with Nic Medina, hot, dreadlocks and the owner of Hotwired. I could see they had a connection, but soon Nic leaves in hurry and Jordan thinks she’s seen the last of him.
Nic has landed in some difficult situations, but deep down he’s a really good guy! His number one priority is his family: his sister and nephew, his brother, and his crew. I love how close he is to them all and how they will do anything for him. But most importantly, he puts their safety above his own.
Both Jordan and Nic never expect to see each other again, so when they do cross paths it was an entertaining ride! I could see how conflicted Nic was, and how much Jordan fought Nic and the demons from her past. Jordan’s story is horrible and my heart ached for her. But I loved how much control she had over her life now and would do anything so that she wouldn’t get into that situation again.
Accelerate was action packed from start to finish! I loved the cars, the suspense, the corruption, and the relationship building between Jordan and Nic. They were both fighting demons, and it was sweet to see that they may get their own chance at happiness! There was a great supporting cast of characters that I’m excited to see more of as well. This book had it all, and I want more NOW!

I loved the flirty banter between these two!
“But just wait until my panties are hanging in your bathtub. You’ll be dying to get rid of me.”
“I think you underestimate the allure of your panties.”
“Maybe you overestimate their allure.”
Nic cocks his head, lets his eyes roam from the top of my head to the tips of my toes and then back again. “No,” he says finally, just as the sexual tension between us reaches breaking point. “I’m pretty sure I’d do just about anything to get a chance at your panties.”

Tracy Wolff collects books, English degrees and lipsticks and has been known to forget where—and sometimes who—she is when immersed in a great novel. At six she wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a prince—and at seven she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love. Now an English professor at her local community college, she writes romances that run the gamut from contemporary to paranormal to erotic suspense.Other reviews featuring Tracy Wolff
