Description
Breanna Casey has only ever wanted two things in life: to race and to get the hell out of Arkadia, Texas. Stifled beneath her family's turbo-charged reputation, she's got her thumb firmly on the self-destruct button. A night of hyper-driven racing and rebellion leads to a one night stand with the one guy who knows how to press all her buttons: Noah McKay.
Torn apart by the toll of his high-intensity enlistment in the Marines and guilt-ridden by what he's seen, Noah McKay left the military to find peace. A chance encounter sends him working for the parents of a raven-haired Amazon goddess with a tongue that cuts sharper than any knife. Quiet is the last thing he'll get.
Finally, she gets her chance. Calloway Racing wants her to drive for them. But that's not all they want. A good friend of her father's, Calloway insists she take Noah along for the ride. Suddenly, her dreams are feeling more like a nightmare. Will they be able to help each other, maybe even find love, when living life full tilt boogie?

this is the third book in the series and I am thinking that it might be the last book since this is the last Casey sibling, but I could be wrong since we still dont have a book on Vic and if they do have a book for him I will read it. . So this is Breanna's book and I wasn't crazy about her in the first book, I wanted to knock her out, so even though this is her book she was a little better but I still wasn't crazy about her and honestly felt she still had a lot of growing up to do, Noah wasn't much better so I still feel like this is a toxic relationship.I gave a three because I was happy to read about previous couples
Thank you NetGalley, The Wild Rose Press and Leslie Scott for gifting me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. The title made me a little worried it would end up being somewhat cheesy, and poorly written but I was so pleasantly surprised. There’s a reason this book has so many great reviews!
Growing up I loved to watch the Disney Channel movie about two sister drag racing. I used to dream of getting behind the wheel of a race car someday for years after watching that movie. Hilarious because I would pee my pants the first time I went over 100mph. So I’ll just stick to reading books about people living out my dream.
Breanna the main character is sassy, spicy and knows what she wants. Writing such a strong willed lead female character really fit this story and I found myself wanting to be her best friend. The romance between Breanna and Noah lit with intense chemistry from the beginning but there was a little too much drama for me personally between them. Sometimes less is more with the drama!
I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would when I first started it. The main character is a female street racer, which I was not sure I could connect with, even though I liked the concept idea. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised as the book went on, that I was drawn in by the plot and truly enjoyed reading this book.
I received a complimentary copy of Full Tilt Boogie in exchange for an honest review. Even thought this was part of a series, it could be read as a stand alone.
I really didn't love or hate this book. The tomboy theme, cars and racing, and everything in between brought back some good memories from high school. Brea was definitely not mature, and it was easy to dislike her, but she fit her role of an early 20's tomboy to perfection. Being a female in a male dominated world is never an easy task, and Brea did what she had to do to get what she wanted. That was part of the charm of this book.
Noah was a good kid too, but he was definitely rough around the edges. Even though Brea and Noah got their happy ending in this novel, I don't think their relationship was healthy enough to survive long term.
Unless you're in the mindset of early 20's adults, and cars, this might be a hard pass.
