Synopsis

Her destiny was written for her, long before she was ever born. She embraced it, wanting nothing more than to give everything within her back to the sport in which she was considered royalty. Her family’s legacy would live on, revered by all. And she thrived on the long work days she spent teaching at the academy her blood was tied to. Alexandra Sterling needed that dirt track as much as she needed her next breath. That same track was the one that drew in a young student years before. Alex had given her heart away the day they met, knowing that he belonged to only her. For years she’d waited, knowing without a single doubt that he’d make her his when the time was right. But…she’d never asked Dallas if he felt the same way. Her hurt leaves her vulnerable, her days dark and her instincts dulled. After one night of hell, Alex is lost. Her world is crumbling around her, and without her lifeline and best friend beside her anymore, there’s nothing to keep her from sinking with it. Dallas Hunter is a pro rider on the motocross circuit, following in the footsteps of his father Eli. For Dallas, it’s always been Alex, but he’s kept his feelings locked away out of fear, his love for their family, his biggest obstacle. One short and chilling phone call to her puts him on high alert. Knowing something is terribly wrong sends him racing across the country, back home, back to her. But what he finds almost kills him. Now he’s watching her slip away right before his very eyes. Figuring out how to help Alex before it’s too late, might turn out to be harder than any race he’s ever ridden. And he has to do it with his team and sponsors screaming at him from the other side, trying to pull him back to the world he’s dedicated his entire life to. Dallas knows he has to help his best friend, the woman he loves…and do it without tearing his family apart.

My Review

Alex's Destiny sure does pull at your damn heartstrings. Ugh, so didn't like the overwhelming feeling of sadness. Wasn't prepared for it. 

Alex is a 23 year old woman who has been in love with the same man for 20 years, although she's still waiting for him to notice her in that way. She lives out her dream of teaching classes, training people on how to race dirt bikes. The man she loves is on the other side of the U.S. living out his dream of going pro. While on the track teaching she hears that oh so familiar voice of the man she loves. He's come home, and she couldn't be more excited…that is until she sees he brought a girl with him. Dallas goes to explain, but Alex runs off. The girl Dallas brings home is just a friend, and in a sense he just brought her home to see how Alex felt. You see Dallas has loved Alex for 4 years now, however he's scared to act out on it. He doesn't want to hurt their family and in a way he feels it's wrong because even though they aren't blood related at all they are so tight knit like a family. 

It takes a lot for him to realize what he did was stupid and wrong. He hurt Alex and he never wanted to. Dallas ends up leaving early basically running away from the stupidness he did… In turn he left behind a broken Alex. For weeks they don't talk. In the meantime Alex is busy and going about her daily life as best she can, but this cloud of sadness still hovers over her. The mechanic Levi who has helped her realize that what she has been writing in her notebook all these years is song lyrics. Levi opened her eyes to a new world. So every now and then when everyone else is gone he'll come to Alex's office and they will go over her writing and create a song. 

Some things end up occurring and Alex tries to hide it all from her family. She feels it's all just a prank. While on the phone with Dallas before a race she opens up an envelope that was on her chair when she came in that morning and is scared shitless. Dallas is worried about her, but she lies and says all is well. He continued to try and get ahold of her, but she ignores his calls and texts. Even her twin brother Jake senses something isn't right. That's because something isn't right. Someone hurt Alex and she was in the hospital. 

Now she has to learn how to overcome the attack. Every little thing scares her. Can Dallas save her? Or will he and her family lose her forever? 

If you want to find out scoop up this book and find out for yourself. It's a great one. 

I did have some issues with Alex's Destiny. They were the POV changes. Yes, I love multiple point of views, but normally you get some sort of heads up. Whether it be the person's name under the chapter. etc. Not with this, it just kinda jumped from one POV to another without warning. I can look past that factor though, and it in no way effects my rating of the story. 

I recommend you read Alex's Destiny. As well as the other books in the Racing to Love Series. 

I rate Alex's Destiny 5 stars. 

Other books in this series: Carter’s Treasure #1, Brody’s Love #1.5 (novella), Jesse’s Soul #2, Eli’s Honor #3

  About the Author When asked ‘when do you have time to write’, Amy Gregory simply laughs. The real answer is, “in bits and pieces”. She and her husband live in Kansas City with their three fantastic kids that keep them running in three very different directions. Because she sits so much, she always carries a notebook with her at all times. She has an off the wall, snarky, off the cuff sense of humor that often shocks even those who’ve known her for years. And she loves that her children have all been blessed that ability to make others laugh as well. At least she’s grateful most of the time! Her husband often teases her about how she “makes this stuff up” when he’s reading a piece of her work. … The answer—“it just comes to me when I’m typing”. Scary thought, huh!
