Editoral Review
In Riding on Instinct, Jaci Burton delivers a thrilling romance novel that is sure to captivate fans of the genre. Burton is a prolific author known for her steamy romances and spicy characters, and this book is no exception.
Set in the world of motorcycle racing, Riding on Instinct follows the story of motorcycle racer, Ty Riggs, and his attempts to win the championship with the help of his family-run team. But things get complicated when his new sponsor hires a marketing specialist, Monica, to help polish Ty’s image.
Sparks fly between the two when they realize they share a passion for more than just motorcycle racing. Burton’s writing style is engaging, with characters that are well-developed as the plot moves forward.
The novel has a great deal of tension throughout the story, with each character struggling with their own personal demons. Ty is haunted by his past mistakes, while Monica’s fears and insecurities make it harder for her to open up to others.
As the story unfolds, readers will find themselves cheering for the couple to make it through their challenges and become stronger together. The themes of redemption and self-discovery are woven into the story, lending it depth and emotion.
The motorcycle racing setting also adds an exciting edge to the story, making it a fast-paced read that will keep you turning the pages. Despite the book’s strengths, there are some weaknesses that I feel need to be mentioned.
For example, the pacing can be uneven at times, with some sections feeling rushed while others drag on. Additionally, some readers may find the romance to be formulaic and lacking in originality.
However, these flaws are minor compared to the overall quality of the book. Riding on Instinct is a well-written, entertaining romance novel that is sure to appeal to fans of the genre.
Burton’s characters are likable and relatable, the setting is unique, and the themes are universal. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a steamy, exciting romance that is sure to entertain.
