Title: Alex’s Destiny (Racing to Love #4)
Author: Amy Gregory
Genre: Contemporary Romance 18+
Publication Date: November 1, 2013
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.

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!
Wow just.. wow. Amy doesn't fail to do it again with book 4 in the series. She knows how to have that perfect balance of love, suspense and drama. The drama is an undercurrent that is ongoing as a beautiful story of two soul mates is told. It's a story filled with heart ache and pain, and not just for Alex, for the whole family. What impacts and happens to Alex, happens to the whole family.. They hurt together. They are happy together. They are this hugely close tightly knit family. Amy doesn't fail to get you to realize and accept that Alex and Dallas are soul mates and always have been. IN previous books we have read the beautiful stories of Eli, Honor, Carter, Molly, Jesse and Emery. Now, we get the story of the next generation. My heart broke with what happened to this strong, sassy, independent woman. This one moment in time that almost broke her. But Dallas was strong enough to bring her back. His love was strong enough to fix her and make her whole again. Their love, and Ruby's protection, was enough to help her heal. To help the whole family heal. TO help every one to get back to living life and moving past that one moment that almost broke them all. This is a beautiful story of two people who have loved each other as kids, and now are in love with each other as adults. It never fails to make you swoon, cry, or fear what is going to happen next. YOu are also going to be happy with the full circle of the story. The perfect ending to a perfect story. Though each book has it's own perfect ending, this one was perfect for Dallas and Alex.
I give this book 4.5 hearts
Sandie & Dee,
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much!!!!!!!!! I appreciate your time in reading my work, but also 'getting' my family, albeit fictional, lol. They have been a huge part of my life for the last couple of years, I hate letting them go (um hint hint). Thank you again, hugs.
