Billy’s racing career is jeopardized by his injuries and he is losing the love of his life because he put his racing higher than her. Taryn is a super bike racer herself. It is killing her to break up with Billy but it breaks her heart more as she watches him make bad decisions.
I could not get in to this book. The characters and plot were pure angst- through the whole book. I would not recommend this book to my patrons.

This was a very fun and exciting read! Billy and Taryn are obviously are meant to be together. Mason, Billy's brother, is a spoiled jerk in this book so I hope he gets his own story to redeem himself. And expose the secret letter!

I am not a fan of the present/then writing, especially when you have no idea when "then" was to find out it was like days/weeks ago.

I'm a believer in second chances, and a story billed as a second chance romance seemed intriguing. I wasn't disappointed.

Billy and Taryn are delightful characters in Katie Golding's story. They are flawed and hopeful and all-too-human.

The author did a great job with the dual timeline, no easy task, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment in this series.

I really enjoyed Fearless from start to finish it kept me interested. Katie Golding is a new author to me with this book and I was not disappointed. It was hard at times to put the book down and go back to dealing with the real word when all I wanted to do was figure out if Taryn was going to take Billy back.

With a big mistake that Billy made being the start of all his problems through the book kept me reading and wondering just what it was that he did. She did an amazing job with the present being Billy's POV and the past being Taryn's POV until they caught up together. It had a little bit of the Lost series feel with all the flashbacks in a good way.

Katie does a great job at getting the reader in the seat of all the fun from motocross racing but also all the hard times as well. Leaves you cheering for the characters to win off the track with the same success that they have on the track.

I am certainly going to keep my eye out for the next book in this series when its released.

An enjoyable romance! I always love a second chance romance, and Billy and Taryn really were great together. The plot was really interesting. I did struggle a bit with the flashbacks, but I know some people really enjoy that dynamic in a book.

I don't like Taryn's character. She is what I think of when I think of a mean girl. Telling Billy that they are broken up but yet giving him hope that she will forgive him and all will be fine again. He bends over backwards, begs and pleads with her to forgive him. Maybe if that had lasted for one or two chapters that would have been okay but it was pretty much the whole book.

I finished this several weeks ago and I still cannot get these characters out of my head. Billy... Sweet, sweet, sweet Billy. He was everything... and then some. The cowboy you all dream about. The kind, gentle soul with the heart of gold most of all. I could make an entire review just for him, but there's so much more to this story than that. He's just my cherry on top.

Told in a unique fashion, with alternating POV's, past and present, Billy and Taryn are two people you can't help but cheer on as they try to fix their relationship. I don't want to give too much away, plot wise, but I really appreciated the unique take on story telling in this book. It wasn't formulatic in the least, and kept me invested from beginning to end. Fleshed out characters with real world problems, complete with a racing back drop and a country flare. This love story was so enchanting and real that it hurt. The kind of hurt that makes you want to jump back in and read it all over the second you hit the last page, of course.

Definitely a top new favorite for me, and that is a label I don't use often.

This is the first book I have read from this author and thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read early! Overall, this second chance romance was emotional and compelling- it shows you that an HEA takes work and this book takes us through how a relationship breaks down and rebuilds. I liked both Taryn and Billy. I think where this book was a bit disjointed is that the flashbacks are too entrenched over most off the story. Flashbacks done right are good to provide context- I didn’t always see the context. Also, I wish that the flashbacks ended earlier and we focused more on the present during the last half of the book. Overall, however, good cast of characters and I enjoyed the story.

Wow I'm just stunned with how good this title was. I just had so much fun reading this title and getting to along for the ride with these amazing characters. I'm so excited to see what's next from this author.

This book did not work for me because of how it's structured not because the author isn't capable or the characters were not interesting. I am not a fan at all of dual timelines within a book and the chapters in this alternated between the current and past relationship of the couple. It's frustrating to read a book with dual timelines because I feel like it takes away from the current love story. I can appreciate this was a second chance romance, but we spent way too much time learning about the past and not enjoying the current day happenings.

Billy and Taryn’s story. A fair story of a couple going through a rough patch in their marriage. Would probably like it better if I was in my 20s instead of my 50s. Would recommend if you are looking for a quick and spicy summer read.
