Hold Fast

Love like this leaves Tire Marks

Racing was his world. She was the girl who never stayed in the stands.

Ripley James walked away from everything — the cameras, the chaos, and the boy who once made her feel like the center of the track. But when coming home means facing more than just old feelings, Ripley finds herself back in the dirt, camera in hand, heart on the line.

Creed Carter is chasing the dream harder than ever. Fame. Sponsorships. Wins. But none of it means a damn thing without her. When Ripley shows back up, secrets spill fast — like the baby she never got to tell him about.

As rivalries flare and a dangerous past resurfaces, Creed and Ripley are forced to fight for more than a finish line. A stalker from the shadows. A betrayal they never saw coming. And a love that refuses to burn out.

Fast-paced, high-stakes, and heartbreakingly raw —

Hold Fast is a dirt track romance where the greatest victory is finding your way back home.

Lack of tension and research

This book simply wasn’t good. I won’t go in depth on all the flaws in the racing itself(there was a lot), but also the romance in the story just isn’t it. There’s no tension, nothing to keep the reader going. It’s just all sunshine and rainbows with this other guy who’s annoying but never truly a threat.
