Title: Crash Ride
Series: Power Station #2
Author: T. Gephart
Release Date: February 19, 2015
Synopsis
Megan
Winters had lusted over Troy Harris, drummer for international rock band Power
Station, for years. Not being the type of girl who was invited backstage, her
fantasies had stayed just that, fantasies. When her best friend unexpectedly
starts dating one of the other band members it puts her on a crash course at
war with her libido. Her solution— they need to have sex. Surely once she had
scratched that itch, and saw the fantasy didn’t live up to the reality she
could move on. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
4.5 out of 5 stars
The thing I hate about most romances is the whiney female lead who doesn’t stand up for herself and doesn’t have enough personal strength to deal with what life throws at her...This book definitely wasn’t like that!
Megan Winters (or Megs to her friends) is a very strong woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to after it...even when she’s drunk dialing.
Troy Harris is a drummer in Megs’ favorite band. She’s had the hots for him forever and was lucky enough to meet him last year. They were just friends, but Megs always wanted more. As it turns out, so did Troy.
Their relationship was rocky and secretive, but it was so great. I loved the humor that they had with each other and the way they just seemed to perfectly melt together. Humor was so great in this book. I think my favorite passage came when Megs was coming back into a club after a streetside encounter with Troy:
How long were we gone? Had Marty McFly shown up in his Delorean and we’d somehow time travelled? Maybe Troy’s penis had an in-built flux capacitor and zipped us through the time-space continuum. His talented cock knew no end.
Troy is the perfect book boyfriend, too. He really cares for Megs deeply and he shows her his love unconditionally. When tragedy struck, he didn’t care. He was right beside her where he needed to be. When she was worried their relationship would complicate other people’s lives and events, he just wouldn’t hear of it:
Complicated, crazy --- none of it mattered to me. “Where’s the fun in a smooth ride? I’d take crashing and burning with you than easy with someone else.”
The support cast of characters were great, too. And even though I hadn’t read the first book (High Strung), I never felt lost of like I wasn’t getting the full story. I love when series can be read as a stand alone without too much history and with just enough to make you want to go back and read that book, too. (((Which I will definitely be doing.)))
This book really pulled my emotions all over the place. I laughed until I cried. I cried because I was sad. I cried because I was happy. Really, everything about this book was so great. I can’t wait to read more from this author!!!

Author Bio
T Gephart is an indie author from Melbourne, Australia.
T's approach to life has been somewhat unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel and life experience.
With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to find her niche in the world.
While on a subsequent trip the United States in 1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which is anything but ordinary. They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia and have traveled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young children and one four legged child, Woodley, the wonder dog.
An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong, independent and confident and who didn't lack femininity. Out of this need, she decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate. T set herself the challenge to write something that was interesting, compelling and yet easy enough to read that was still enjoyable. Pulling from her own past "colorful" experiences and the amazing personalities she has surrounded herself with, she had no shortage of inspiration. With a strong slant on erotic fiction, her core characters are empowered women who don't have to sacrifice their femininity. She enjoyed the process so much that when it was over she couldn't let it go.
T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colorful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride!
Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.
