GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: June 13th, 2017
Feeling the rush comes with a price…
Mackenzie Cox has lost everything—except Hayden Hayes. With Kenzie’s racing career over, and her family no longer speaking to her, Hayden has been her rock, as she tries to pick up the pieces of what was once her life.
But when Hayden’s racing team hires his beautiful ex-girlfriend, Felicia, to be their new hotshot rider, Kenzie and Hayden’s seemingly solid relationship begins to crack. Kenzie can only watch from the sidelines, as Felicia lives the life she was forced to leave behind, and as tension begins to build between Hayden and Kenzie, she wonders if Hayden isn’t the man she once knew.
Dangerous Rush is a thrilling story packed with passion, angst and heartbreak. Now finally a couple in the open, Kenzie and Hayden are free to love each other wholly. This should be an amazing time for them, but a lot of outside events and situations bring tension into their relationship. Kenzie’s father is not talking to her anymore, Felicia, Hayden’s ex is back and everything is very fragile between them. You feel the love, passion, sadness, jealousy, heartbreak… everything! It’s not easy for Kenzie to see Felicia and Hayden racing for the same team, while she’s left looking from the sidelines.
Hayden is such a great guy and in this book he shows his love for Kenzie by doing incredible things for her. But by doing them, he also keeps secrets that are weighting on Kenzie’s shoulders and making her doubt his love for her. His intentions are good, but his actions are questionable.
For me this story was really complete and enjoyable, though I must admit by moments it was a little dragging and that’s the reason I rated this book four stars and not five. But once again S.C. Stephens delivered on the emotional side perfectly. Dangerous Rush is a great addition to the Rush series!

THE RUSH SERIES
Book #1
Furious Rush
Mackenzie Cox has a lot to prove. Daughter of a racing legend, she is eager to show the world that she has inherited her father’s talent in the male-dominated sport of professional motorcycle racing. The last thing Kenzie needs is to be antagonized by her rival team’s newest rider, Hayden Hayes. Plucked from the world of illegal street racing, Hayden immediately gets under Kenzie’s skin. His insinuations that Kenzie is a spoiled princess who was handed her career fuels her desire to win, and much to her surprise, Kenzie soon learns she performs better when she’s racing against Hayden.
As Kenzie and Hayden push each other on the track, the electric energy between them off the track shifts into and intense—and strictly forbidden—attraction. The only rule between their two ultra-competitive teams is zero contact. Kenzie always does her best to play by the rules, but when her team slips into a financial crisis, she has no choice but to turn to Hayden for help. The tension simmers during their secret, late-night rendezvous, but Kenzie has too much to lose to give in to her desires. Especially when she begins to doubt that Hayden has completely left his street life behind…
