Drag Me Down by Landra Graf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dakota ‘Drag’ Michelson is a member of the Full Throttle Gang and he is a drag racer for his group, and he is certainly more than capable of everything he puts his mind to, except for the one woman who caused him to lose everything, including his arm, and become a cyborg when he had to get a new cybernetic one. Bridget MacIntosh is a woman with a lot of responsibility, she is the leader of the MacIntosh gang, and she has fought tooth and nail to get there and stay there, even if it meant throwing away the only future, she truly wanted because of a deal she should never have had to make.
The only thing that Drag wants now is to celebrate his win and qualification into the upcoming Championship Race, however, when Bridget appears asking for a meeting during the afterparty, he is extremely wary, especially after the last time she framed him for murder and got him kicked out of the MacIntosh gang. He reluctantly goes to hear her out, however, when Bridget tells him that she wants help getting out from under the thumb of her sponsor, he is gobsmacked and has to laugh at the irony of her plan, but he agrees to think on her proposal and promptly leaves before he acts on any of the baser impulses, he still has towards her. Bridget, however, is frustrated by having to wait for his answer when she knows that time is running out, but she also knows how Drag works and that he will give her the answer, she just hopes that it is the one she wants.
When they next meet, tempers and passions flare as Drag lays out the ground rules and his expectations which Bridget is forced to accept and so a truce is called, however, Drag knows that he is most likely going to be double crossed and so develops a back-up plan in case this happens, although Bridget will never know, but as they become entangled in a web of desire, deceit and subterfuge, will the two be able to keep their feeling tamped down so that they can enact their plan with clear heads, or will they blur the lines and allow feelings to ignite? This is a full throttle romance with a sci-fi backdrop where the adrenaline is pumping, and the stakes are high in this danger filled race against time set in a dystopian future.
