Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old Holly Pearson never dreamed that
while working at her father’s motocross track she’d run into the walking,
talking definition of trouble in a sexy, tattooed package—Trip Douglas, the man
sent to evaluate the track for a possible investment opportunity. Holly makes
no attempt to hide the fact she despises Trip, but she learns to be civil
toward him when he offers to help her land the man of her dreams.
Trip needs a break from the crazy rock-and-roll
lifestyle he’s been living for the past few years. With his Black Falcon band
mates settling down with marriage and babies, Trip peruses an investment
opportunity in motocross, something he’s always been passionate about. Hiding
his celebrity status, Trip infiltrates the new business posing as a dirt bike
rider training for the X-Games. The only obstacle is the owner’s daughter,
Holly. She’s a real ball bustin' Ice Queen, and she’ll do whatever it takes to
make the deal fall through. Trip soon discovers that winning over his new enemy
is the key to gaining a partnership in Mountain Time Speed Track.
Knowing he’s the expert on getting laid, Trip ropes
Holly into becoming his ally by helping her score a date with the man she’s
crushing on. The problem is, the more time Trip and Holly spend together, the
more they uncover the undeniable attraction between them. Soon they both
realize that even the best laid plans go to hell when you find you’re falling
in love with the enemy.
**Book
THREE in the Black Falcon series. Can also be read as a stand-alone novel**

The Black Falcon Books just keep getting better and better! First I thought I was in love with Noel, than Riff rocked my heart but let me tell you girls Trip is going to capture your heart and drive off with it!! This man is so HOT and sweet! He is alpha male through and through but has a gentle side and a few secrets that will just melt you.
Holly has been betrayed by her boyfriend, he was cheating on her for over a year while she was at college. Now she's back to help her dad run the failing family motor cross business and trying to get over her broken heart. Her best friend Max takes her out for her twentieth birthday and she meets Trip while dancing. Max takes her away from him before things get to far. The next morning she has to meet with a guy that is taking a look at the business for an investor interested in helping the business and guess who that guy is? That's right Trip walks in and she just about dies. Trip doesn't let on who he really is, he wants to be treated just like a regular guy and Holly is not into metal so she has no clue who he is.
The heat between these two is instantaneous and even though they both fight the attraction there is no way to keep these two apart! Both have issues stemming from exes cheating in the past but they work past it. The biggest obstacle is that Trip doesn't tell her who he really is. He is afraid she won't want him anymore if she finds out. Oh and her ex keeps hanging around wanting her back.
I absolutely love Trip and cannot wait to see where Ms. Valentine takes us next! Maybe a Christmas special with our favorite couples?? That would be awesome to see how each couple spends their holiday! Oh and I cannot wait to see where Tyke fits into all of this. As the odd man out now will he find his true heart as well?
Excerpt:
He steps in front
of me and his eyes zero in on my chest. Both of his hands dart to my top button
on my gray top and he releases it from its hole before moving on to the next
one. “First of all, I was attracted to your banging body in that little black
dress. It screamed, “Fuck me,” so that’s not flirting—that’s attention seeking.
Believe me, I wasn’t the only one watching you shake your ass. I was just the
only one brave enough to try and get with you even though you were there with
another man.”
“You thought I was
there with Max?” I ask even though it doesn’t surprise me. Max isn’t exactly
the stereotypically homosexual male. There’s nothing feminine about him. People
make the mistake that we’re an item all the time.
“Yep.”
“And you were
what, going to steal me away from my date?”
Trip shrugs. “When
I see something I want, I go after it. And that night I wanted you. That is
until you let him drag you away from me. I figured it wasn’t worth the scene it
would cause to kick his ass.”
I roll my eyes.
“How do you know you wouldn’t have been the one on the receiving end of that
ass-kicking? Max is a pretty strong dude.”
He gives me a
pointed look. “If there’s one thing I know besides that I’m awesome in bed, is
that I can fight.”
I sigh. “Okay, so
you’re a badass—I get it. What’s the other reason you think you I can’t flirt?”
He smiles. “I win
the flirting debate because I believe it was me who came on to you first, so
you can’t take credit for that.”
My brain attempts
to wade through the drunken memories of a couple nights ago. “You may have
started the dance, but I believe I’m the one who turned around to take it to
that next level, allowing you to kiss me. Therefore I finished it. I get total
credit for flirting with you first.”
He undoes the last
button on my shirt. “No. Max dragged you away, effectively cutting us both off
for the night. And Thank God for that. He deserves a fucking medal for
performing a good deed. Can you imagine how awkward all this would be if we’d
had crazy sex that night, only to meet up the very next day? That would’ve been
a nightmare.”
I flinch. “Am I
really that horrible that you would’ve regretted sleeping with me?”
