Sometimes fate gives you an ass-whooping.
Lexi Taylor has sworn off men—why make an effort if you’re never gonna do it right?
But then she meets Coen Walker, not once but three times in the same day. He’s edgy, reckless, guarded and protective. From the first time he sees her he has to have her. He wants her and he won’t give up until she agrees to give him a chance and spend just one night with him.
Bumping into the same guy three times in one day can’t be a coincidence, right?
What would it be like to live life in the fast lane?

Fast Lane
Copyright Lizzie Hart Stevens, 2015
And then I hear a voice that sends shivers up my spine.
“Hey there, Havoc, too comfy on your bed here to come say hello to your buddy Coen?”
Coen. Shit. He’s here. Why is he here? How the? What the fuck is he doing here?
My eyes spring open and I’m on high alert. Maybe he won’t realize it’s me.
“Hey, Josh.” He says. I can hear his footsteps getting closer.
I’m lying here with a half finished tattoo. It’s not like I can take off running right now.
Well, I could I guess, but who wants an incomplete tattoo?
“Hey, Coen. What’s new man? What are you getting today?” Josh asks him.
“Mike’s just going to do a few touch ups. Nothing major planned this visit.” Coen says.
Oh good. He already had this in his plans then. He isn’t some psycho stalker that followed me here. I hope.
Suddenly I feel his finger, ever so lightly graze up my arm. It sends shivers up my spine and sets my insides on fire and my pulse through the roof. Why does this man, who I’ve only just met, make me so damn crazy?
“Hi, Lexi.” I hear him say behind me. His voice vibrates straight to my core. “We meet again so soon! What are the odds?” Someone else catches his attention and he stops. “Oh, hey Mike, there you are!” he booms in that raspy, sexy, voice of his and I hear his footsteps leaving my side.
Josh pauses tattooing briefly, squinting at me, and says, “You two know each other?”

Lexi Taylor has sworn off men—why make an effort if you’re never gonna do it right?
But then she meets Coen Walker, not once but three times in the same day. He’s edgy,
reckless, guarded and protective. From the first time he sees her he has to have her. He wants
her and he won’t give up until she agrees to give him a chance and spend just one night with
him.. (Amazon blurb)
Half way through, I remember groaning and remember saying out loud to my husband (who by
now, I must mention, is seriously tired of listening of my talking about books but still does), that I
would be so angry if this book would end in a cliffhanger. At that point it was simply a hunch -
Lexi and Coen had just met, three times, Patrick had his heart ripped out and served on a silver
platter (I really enjoyed that part), and we know that Lexi and Brea are best friends. Ok, so the
last point was moot, but I can't ruin all the good parts if the book, otherwise, what would be the
point in reading it, right? Anyways, that hunch I had, well, let's just say that Fast Lane has just
become part One of what I have dubbed the 'Lexi Coen Series' (or the Consumed by Love) by
Lizzie Hart Stevens. What will I do about it?! Well one thing is for sure, I'll be knocking on this
author's door every so often to find out when part two, Can't Slow Down, because it was worth
the time reading. The characters are protective, hilarious, and oh so tempting and drool-worthy.
For a first time reader of Lizzie Hart Stevens, I can say, without a doubt, that I'll follow her series
from now on and becoming one of my favourites.
