Hit the Brakes: Food Truck Warriors Book 2, Beth Bolden

I really love following along with a group of men who need, deserve, and want love as much as anyone.  The community and friendships and rivalries provide a really great backdrop for this series and I'm always happy to read.  This particular book though, worked a bit less for me than Drive Me Crazy.  I'm never a fan of the hesitations, back and forth, and woe-is-me attitude and this book had a whole lot of all of that. 

Chase was all that and more for me.  As much as I loved him, there was a severe lack of balance with Tate and his character.  Tate nearly ruined the story for me for quite a number of reasons.  He just...ugh...he just rubbed me the wrong way on many, many different occasions.  I didn't even really like them together for most of the story, unfortunately.

But it was the combination of Chase and a fantastic epilogue that really brought everything together in the end.  It redeemed my hopes for the men together and assured me that things were really working out in a believable and heartfelt way.  I'm definitely coming back for more from the series.

Can they fake it til Tate makes it?

Tate Ward is in a bind. His food truck hasn’t been the runaway success he’d always dreamt it would be. When he tries to join a new food truck collective to gain a larger following, his sales aren’t even high enough to win a spot. What he needs is a high profile endorsement—and he knows just the guy.

Tate hasn’t seen Chase Riley since high school. It’s been ten long years of watching from a distance as Chase conquers football fields and fans’ hearts.

Tate never wanted Chase to know that he had the world’s stupidest crush on him, because he always believed Chase was straight.

But desperate times call for desperate measures . . .

When Chase offers a tempting plan that could fulfill all his dreams, Tate knows he can’t say no. All he has to do is pretend that his very real feelings are actually fake.

But faking it with Chase, while leading to wild success and even wilder nights, is everything that Tate feared it would be. All it’s done is leave him wanting the impossible: Chase’s heart.
