Her destiny was written for her, long before she was ever born. She embraced it, wanting nothing more than to give everything within her back to the sport in which she was considered royalty. Her family’s legacy would live on, revered by all. And she thrived on the long work days she spent teaching at the academy her blood was tied to. Alexandra Sterling needed that dirt track as much as she needed her next breath.
That same track was the one that drew in a young student years before. Alex had given her heart away the day they met, knowing that he belonged to only her. For years she’d waited, knowing without a single doubt that he’d make her his when the time was right.
But…she’d never asked Dallas if he felt the same way.
Her hurt leaves her vulnerable, her days dark and her instincts dulled. After one night of hell, Alex is lost. Her world is crumbling around her, and without her lifeline and best friend beside her anymore, there’s nothing to keep her from sinking with it.
Dallas Hunter is a pro rider on the motocross circuit, following in the footsteps of his father Eli. For Dallas, it’s always been Alex, but he’s kept his feelings locked away out of fear, his love for their family, his biggest obstacle.
One short and chilling phone call to her puts him on high alert. Knowing something is terribly wrong sends him racing across the country, back home, back to her. But what he finds almost kills him.
Now he’s watching her slip away right before his very eyes. Figuring out how to help Alex before it’s too late, might turn out to be harder than any race he’s ever ridden. And he has to do it with his team and sponsors screaming at him from the other side, trying to pull him back to the world he’s dedicated his entire life to.
Dallas knows he has to help his best friend, the woman he loves…and do it without tearing his family apart.
My first though while reading the second half of this book was I better make a dentist appointment in the morning. It was so stinking sweet! I mean that in a great way. I cried so many happy and feel good tears during this book. Loved loved loved this book. The only thing I regret is that I didn't read the other three first. I will be correctly that SOON and should have reviews of those here in the next month. Seriously, I was sort of nervous when I was assigned these to review hearing they were about dirt bike racing/motor cross maybe? Seriously, it was so secondary in the story that I couldn't tell you exactly what it is called, which for me is great!
"She'd been born into racing royalty
and there was the money that came with her last name. Her beauty alone could
bring a man to his knees. But Alexandra Sterling was unlike any other woman
he'd ever met, she was simply...a sweetheart."
In this story we meet Alex who works on her families training academy for the motor cross. Her life long friend and secret love, Dallas is a pro and often travels. He also secretly loves Alex. While I find it hard to believe that everyone knew how they felt for each other and it took so long for it to be brought up, it was done in such a way that made me melt. I would totally want Dallas as my new BBF BUT seriously, he is made to be Alex's and hers alone, hence the title, Alex's Destiny.
"Oh, Lex. We've got so much to talk
about, so much to work out...but, baby,"-he pulled her back once
again-"it's always been you."
It took a big tragedy to bring Dallas to Alex but once it did, I rooted for them so hard. "The circumstances were not at all how he wanted their life together to start. However, when she settled back into place, it felt right. For the first time in his adult life, he felt like he was right where he was supposed to be. He was home."
I loved the extended family in this book and also loved the writing style. I was very envious of her life to be honest. And of Dallas. Oh Dallas, I love you! I highly recommend this book and if the rest of them are this amazing, then you are surely in for a treat!
When asked ‘when do you have time to write’, Amy Gregory simply laughs. The real answer is, “in bits and pieces”. She and her husband live in Kansas City with their three fantastic kids that keep them running in three very different directions. Because she sits so much, she always carries a notebook with her at all times. She has an off the wall, snarky, off the cuff sense of humor that often shocks even those who’ve known her for years. And she loves that her children have all been blessed that ability to make others laugh as well. At least she’s grateful most of the time! Her husband often teases her about how she “makes this stuff up” when he’s reading a piece of her work. … The answer—“it just comes to me when I’m typing”. Scary thought, huh!
