Kyla O'Grady hit the gas and drove her Mustang out of Rock River, Pennsylvania with one goal in mind: find somewhere to start over. Her life had gone sideways back home and Kyla needs something new, something fresh, and she needs to find the music again. But on a stretch of road off the coast of Maine, her car has other ideas. Broken down just inside the town limits of Ashten Falls, Maine, Kyla is stranded.
Cooper Moretto has a problem. In fact, the whole town of Ashten Falls has a problem in the form of a corrupt town official. Cooper had enough on his plate to last a lifetime, but on a stretch of highway heading into the town he spots a '67 Mustang Coupe and does what any decent mechanic would do: stop to help. But getting this car back on the road is the last thing on his mind when he sees its owner, singing as if she weren’t in the middle of nowhere.
Kyla is speeding away from her past, unsure how to move forward. Cooper has been on cruise control, just hoping to get through every day without being arrested or harassed. Can the two slow down long enough to see that maybe the answers to both their problems lie in each other? And can they survive when enemies that are lurking in the shadows try to destroy them both?

My Thoughts
Kat Morrisey’s debut novel Slow Ride is a book every reader should
add to their reading list. Slow Ride
is filled with sexy men, feisty ladies, crooked cops and sizzling scenes sure
to make the windows fog up. You will fall head over heels for Cooper, from his bossy
personality to the blush worthy kisses. I really enjoyed his alpha personality
that’s similar to a bad boy biker, but instead of doing wrong, he is trying to
help protect the people of his town. Along
with protecting his friends and community, he is now protecting Kyla who ends
up stranded in Ashton Falls. I knew I was going to love Kyla as soon as she was
listing to Lana Del Ray. Morrisey does a spectacular job with character
development and Kyla’s character is so well rounded she seems tangible. On the
run from her own crooked cop, Kyla carries this misplaced guilt about her life
and the events of her past. She uses this guilt to become a better person,
which had me rooting for her. Together Cooper and Kyla form not only a love but
a friendship that is tested to the breaking point, which makes their story amazing
and highly recommended.
