I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Running on Diesel was one of  my most anticipated reads for this year and it did not disappoint. What's tough on the outside and mushy on the inside, or should I say whom? None other than Diesel Black, Melissa Foster's hottest hero to date.

I have been waiting with bated breath for Diesel and Tracey's story and it delivered all I expected and more. This story gave me all the feels. It elicited a variety of emotions throughout the journey in Diesel and Tracey's world. The story had the perfect balance of  sad, angry, heartbreaking and feel good moments.

Despite their pasts being mired in pain and hurt, they were both survivors. Tracy survived an abusive relationship while Diesel overcame the pain and anguish of his mother's death and betrayal of a friend. Despite the differences in their circumstances they helped each other to heal. 

Diesel, rarely speaks, but will take action when necessary, which made him intimidating. Protective by nature, Diesel made it his duty to look out for Tracy.  She, however did not take kindly to his need to protect, which she made known in no uncertain terms. Not that it changed anything, which she came to appreciate when she became entangled in a dangerous situation. Diesel's reaction to this situations and his actions in the aftermath had me swooning. 

The sexual tension brewing between them from the moment their introduction in the previous book was sharp enough to cut through glass. So it came as no surprise they burnt up the pages. I loved the ease with which they slipped into their relationship. Of course this was after all the back and forth and the snarky remarks.

Running on Diesel was a beautiful, passionate and heartwarming story. I quickly found myself invested in the characters and their story I couldn't put the book down. Like all the books in the series,  family and friendship played an integral role in the story. I loved how they rallied around Tracy after she got hurt in the situation mentioned earlier.


Conclusion/Recommendation

I had a wonderful time with this story.  Running on Diesel was a compelling and delightful read which warmed my heart and left me smiling at the end. Fans of the author and the Whiskeys need to get a copy of this book. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
