Throttle (Jack 'Em Up #3)
by Shauna Allen 

My Review
First I have to say this books name fits it well before you finish it you will want to Throttle Trace more than once. This is a very emotion ride in many ways, you have a past you must overcome, a future that isn't looking very bright, trust issues, an ex, a darling child, people who have been fantasizing about each other for a very long time. The author throws in a few surprises along the way that leaves you thinking this cannot be good. This is a pretty fast pace read that is highly entertaining. It is a very well written with a wonderful plot that at times you would love to grab a few heads and bang them together until they see reason. This author knows how to pull you in as she grips your heart as few tears fill your eyes.

If you have read the other books in this series than you know Trace has been lusting after Tori for a very long time. It does seem she has been doing a little lusting herself but who could blame her with a man this hot. Trace just cannot seem to get the nerve to ask Tori out until it is almost too late. Once he does things start rolling in a roller-coaster ride up and down they go as life gets in the way of true love. Trace has issues there is no doubt from the moment he finds he is a single father as the mother takes off to places unknown. His son always comes first but he can't help how Tori pulls him in. Now he must juggle his life between Tori and his son, oh wait let's not forget the ex which just made life more complicated. Just when you and he thinks life is great and love is on the way it throws a tailspin in his world leaving him scared and alone. He does have a lot going for him. He is sex walking on a stick, one hot man with trust issues. I would gladly take him off Tori hands if things do not work out.

Tori has had her eye on Trace for some time. She wonders why he never made a move on her. When he does life get very complicated as she moves on into her career with Trace and his son mixed up all in it. This is a sweet, sexy, caring lady that puts others first. Trace has his hand full but hers just got a little fuller as well. She has family issues she must face that has her world spinning out of control add Trace and his issues you have one hot mess. I really liked this lady she knows what the words "I love you" means. She gives space when needed and always there for her man when he needs her.

I loved how this relationship was built on friendship, taking it slow and building up to some very hot sex scenes. Both are scared to give their hearts for totally different reasons. There is no way you can read this story and not walk away with it touching your heart. This was a very well written and well thought out plot. I have waited a long time for this story and it was well worth the wait. It touched me in so many ways from so many angles as the author send you twists that will leave you in a tailspin. This is a book you will not want to put down and leaving you wanting the next book in this series in your hands today. It looks to be even better than this one. Each book in this series is better than the last. I loved the characters their issues will break your heart over and over again. Ms. Allen is another of my go to authors. You know whatever she writes will grip you and pull you in as she gives you day to day issues with believable characters. You will smile, laugh and have tears in your eyes before you read the last page. I love this author and her writing style as she pulls you in and gives you a compelling read of  insecurity, doubt, fear, along with hope, dreams and love. This is one outstanding read you do not want to miss.

Book Description
I have a past. I have pain.
I don’t dwell on those because I have a future.
I’ve got my career and my wits. I don’t need love, or lust, or some man to make me complete. That’s for fairy tales.
Yeah, right.
Trace Berringer is the perfect male specimen, wrapped up in a smart, sexy, witty package, and while I may not need him, I sure want him. But he’s got a past of his own. One that may ultimately keep us apart.
~~~~~
Tori Waters has become both my fantasy and my nightmare.
I’ve wanted her since the moment we met, but she has walls a mile high.
Hell, so do I.
Sex and shameless flirting are one thing, but I’ve been burned and I can’t afford to go there again. My son is my heart, my soul. It’s just us against the world and I’d kill to protect him.
No one, definitely no woman, is going to hurt us again.
That is a promise.
