Adrenalin Book 3: Persistent by Michele Lenard

Adrenalin Book 3

 Some thrills you chase. Others blindside you in a red plaid skirt and combat boots.

Axel - It was probably a little stalkerish to follow him to this office and pin him up against the wall before knowing his name, but in my defense, red is my favorite color.
And he made it look so good I found myself tempted to try eggplant for the first time.

Besides, it’s not like I was the only one looking.
He’d been not-so-discretely ogling me all afternoon, I just made the first move.
And the second.
And pretty much all the others until tragedy struck his hometown and he sought me out for comfort.

I knew after that first night one wouldn’t be enough, but when he turned to me in his moment of need, I was done for.
Too bad forever is the one thing Lennon doesn’t believe in.
He’s spent years building a life he controls—running his restaurant, protecting his heart, keeping everyone at arm’s length.
And me? I’m a professional dirt biker with no fixed address and no idea how to stay still.

We don’t make sense.
Not on paper. Not in real life.
But when he’s in my arms, nothing’s ever felt more right.

He thinks our timing’s all wrong.
But I think I finally found the place I want to land—and the man I want to stay for.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

This was definitely my favorite of the series so far! The chemistry between Lennon and Axel is undeniable the moment these two are the on page. From the moment these two meet, they can feel the spark between them. And it doesn’t take them long to explore their chemistry in the bedroom. But what surprises them both is how one night isn’t enough. Because even after they hook up, they just want to be around one and talk. Not that Lennon will admit it! Lennon grew up watching his mom flounder after his dad left her. And he swore never to be put in a position like that. Work is his life and he won’t stop his career for anyone. But Axel threatens to bring down his walls bit by bit. Is Lennon willing to let go even a bit for him? Axel has never felt what he has felt for Lennon. The fact that he was a guy didn’t even bother him. All he sees is Lennon and wants to be closer to him. And he’ll fight for him if Lennon lets him. Axel’s career takes him on the road a lot but for the first time he is truly thinking harder about calling a place home. He may have thought it before but Lennon gives him a whole new reason to consider it more. But can he convince Lennon that what they have is worth some compromise? Adored these two! They had a great connection and a lot more in common than either thought. But they fit so well together and balance one another out. I loved seeing them grow together and work their way to fighting for one another. Like I said, favorite of the series!
