About this ebook

A funny, sexy, and emotionally riveting standalone contemporary romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. RUNNING ON DIESEL is the perfect love story for those who enjoy fiercely loyal and insanely sexy alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, strong family bonds, bikers, babies, and more!


Desmond “Diesel” Black is a Nomad with the Dark Knights motorcycle club. He protects others with his life and always rides alone. Tracey Kline left the only family she had for a man who broke more than her spirit, leaving her untrusting and on her own. When a twist of fate reveals pieces of the other no one else sees, will they be able to help each other mend their past hurts and learn to trust the chemistry and connection that’s too strong to deny?


~


The Whiskeys are perfect beach reads with depth of story, strong family ties, and a wealth of emotions. Small town love stories with happily ever afters guaranteed. The Dark Knights motorcycle club is not a typical MC book. These bad-boy bikers are tough, but they have hearts of gold...and they're not afraid to use them.

Draws out the feels Tracey, a woman starting to find herself, is a waitress at Whiskey Bro’s Bar under the watchful eye of Diesel, a Dark Knight MC nomad, while she tries to recover from an abusive relationship. As the story progresses a situation takes them by surprise, a few bricks fall from their walls, and if they just stop fighting against the past they could find the fireworks never end. Melissa Foster draws out the feels with a silent but squishy alpha male meeting his match in a delicate but strong female. I can’t wait to read about the Colorado Whiskeys and need to go back to reread all the other Whiskey and Braden stories. I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

Another amazing read by Melissa Foster. Diesel and Tracey are perfect together. They not only burn up the sheets they are explosive outside the bedroom too. He doesn’t say much but when he does watch out. Tracey is a little bit of nothing compared to him, but she is a little spitfire. She doesn’t take his “protective” ways too kindly at work. He is scaring away customers in her section of the bar. Underneath Diesel burns for Tracey, but he doesn’t feel he is good enough for her. She is not like any other woman he has ever been with. She is not the one-night stand kind of girl. He is also a nomad. Never staying in one place for too long. Although he has been here for the last 2 years mainly because Red asked him to watch over Tracey. Sometimes it takes one person to change your life. You never see it coming, out of nowhere. All you can do is hold on tight and enjoy the ride. I could not put their story down once I started. So many emotions while reading. An enjoyable journey to their happily ever after. Sparks flying, combustible chemistry, explosive to just name a few. Tracey and Diesel are so good together. Their story was so worth the wait.

Oh me. Oh my. The tension between Diesel and Tracey has been thick since they first “met” (which we have read in other books). Their book is two years after meeting and the tension is still just as thick. Diesel scares Tracey and Tracey has had enough. My heart yearned for “Unleaded” to find some sort of happiness. His stone cold demeanor and lack of words really made me feel like there was something so much more underneath all of that muscle, yet he seemed to push anyone and everyone away. Tracey was once a victim, but was finding her way to a strong, independent person who deserved to find happiness. When these two finally let their guard down for just a moment, more than sparks flew and everyone could feel it. I love the Whiskey family and how close they all are. Tracey and Diesel are two people we have ‘known’ for some time and to get to know them more was such a treat. The Dark Knights are some of my favorite people and Running on Diesel did not disappoint. Diesel fits in with the Dark Knights perfectly!
