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.

When I freed the first few pages of Accelerate I thought it had a fast and furious feel to it that immediately drew me in.

Jordan was spunky character who went through something tragic and is trying to move on with her life and yet her life is about to change when she gets kidnapped by Nic, the guy she had an attraction to the night before. Obviously Jordan doesn't trust Nic due to him kidnapping her but when she starts to realize he isn't some horrible guy, her walls crumble.

Nic is over protective of everyone he cares about, he's one of those guys that would take a bullet for you without thinking about the reason. He has his family and friends that he protects fiercely which made him one hot ass alpha.

Nic and Jordan were strong charcters who even though their relationship skyrocketed in like 2 days I liked Nic and Jordan together. Sure it was an insta romance kind of thing but it worked for this couple. When your life is on the line it's kinda hard not to fall for the person next to you especially if you'll be with them 24/7.

What I liked most about Accelerate was how fast paced it was. The author didn't drag things out, she got to the point of the story which was dealing with trust and overcoming fears with the help of a stranger.

Accelerate was a fun ride that will have many people wanting to take long drives with that special someone.
