Synopsis:
CAMERON
Life’s the shit!
Chicks squeal over how wild and yummy I am, play their silly games trying to tie me down. But I’m free as a bird, doing what makes life life: kicking extreme-sport-ass!
I base jump, snowboard, bungee jump. I do anything for the rush. Life’s the shit!
Chicks squeal over how wild and yummy I am, play their silly games trying to tie me down. But I’m free as a bird, doing what makes life life: kicking extreme-sport-ass!
Then, Ingela blows into town for college—a cool Swedish blast of trouble. Foulmouthed and runway-gorgeous, the girl seeps in like poison and melts the freaking brain.
To Ingela I am what chicks were to me: pastime, leisure,
entertainment, pleasure. She’s killing me, and I’m digging it. There’s a
new rush in town! Yeah, I hunt down my highs, and now the chase is on. I’ll catch her soon enough, just, what’s the deal with her ex?
BOWith Ingela, sex is a dance. A slow tango where skin flows over skin. It is slick readiness, a quiet welcome. It’s smooth, warm, right, and all wrong.
On and off. On and off. Again, she’s wrecked with grief. It’s a reminder of how I destroy her, how crushed relationships shouldn’t be revived.
We’ve done this for years, now, but clearly we’re in for more.

CAMERON
The
chase is over. Right here, right now, this is it.
Even if it only lasts thirty seconds, the rush of what I’m about to
do floods me and makes me feel.
It’s so intense, every muscle in my body goes rigid with
anticipation.
The
air is sharp and early-morning raw. I stare out from my post on an
overhang off Firam Peak. Let my eyes judge the steep drop into the
ravine on the backside of the mountain. Jagged granite walls form
unpredictable patterns that crash to the bottom the way I
will soon, and a light dusting of snow contrasts starkly with the
somber stone.
I
shake my arms. Not to relieve the tension but to make sure I’m
nimble and ready. I didn’t invite my friends, Dan and Marek, along
today. I’d be better off with someone else around, of course, but
nothing compares to the thrill I experience as I step forward alone.
I’m on the edge now, in every sense of the word.
I
draw in a breath of icy oxygen. Crack my fingers inside my gloves and
adjust the strap on my helmet. I’m ready.
It’s
so easy to plunge off the cliff. All I do is heave up on my toes and
extend my arms. A light bend at the knees and I’m off, flying.
Ah,
yes. I fly.
So
good.
The
wind howls around me. I’m fast—I’ve jumped a dozen times into
this ravine so the speed doesn’t surprise me. When we started base
jumping, Dan and I would heave ourselves as far out as we could to
stay clear of the rock walls during the free-fall. With the velocity
you take on, the smallest miscalculation will throw you against the
ragged stone, toss you around, and beat you about like a rag doll.
It’d be hard to survive.
It
gets boring, though, to be careful every time. Which is why, at this
point, to get that rush—the woozy bliss inundating my brain for
hours afterward—I simply tip off the edge.
The
wingsuit I wear is advanced technology. I stretch my arms out to the
side, the fabric spanning open at my sides. A familiar sting of
disappointment sings through me as I realize I’ll never fly without
the squirrel suit. I can’t even begin to imagine the drug it would
be to base jump with no security equipment. Straight to death, of
course. I chuckle to myself at the thought.
I’m
reaching the white ravine floor too quickly. Fuck, I’m lightning
fast. The parachute on my back is a click away, but I postpone it,
postpone it—
I’m
on top of the world!
I’m
so fucking alive while I plunge to what could be my last moment on
Earth. I curl my body into a somersault and shout my rush out in an
echo against the surrounding rock.
“Wooh-hooh!”
I loved Adrenaline. It's a definite must read. It is a standalone read but if you read Pandora, Wild Child and Leon's Way you will notice some of the characters form those books are in this one.
Cameron and Inga work at Smother. Cameron is an crazy adrenaline junkie. He does some pretty extreme sports. Cameron is a funny and sweet guy. He is also always trying to have a threesome. He and Inga work well together.
Inga is from Sweden. She is still hung up on her ex Bo. Her friendship with Cameron because some much more but every time Bo calls Inga seems to drop everything for him. Cameron uses base jumping, snowboarding, and bungee jumping to get his next adrenaline fix. He seems to use those things when he is struggling with Inga issues.
I loved Inga and Cameron. I do have to admit there where time where I want to just shake some sense into Cameron and Inga.
It's a great read. It kept me interested from beginning to end.

AUTHOR BIO:
Originally
from Norway, I moved to the United States twelve years ago. I hold a
Master’s degree in languages and taught Spanish at college level before
settling in at the Savannah College of Art and Design as an adviser.
I write New Adult fiction, sometimes with a paranormal twist—like in “Shattering Halos,” published by The Wild Rose Press in February 24th 2014 and in “Stargazer,” released November 2014. The first book I’ve self-published was the New Adult Contemporary novel “Pandora Wild Child,” which made me a proud indie author in October 28th 2014.
I specialize in impulsive heroines, bad-boys, and good-boys running amok. Then, there’s the intense love, physical and emotional attraction beyond reason—sensory overload for the reader as well as for the characters. Like in real life, I hope you’re unable to predict what comes next in my stories.
Yes, so I write what I love to read, and depending on the reader, you’ll find my books to be a fast-paced emotional rollercoaster—or disturbing because the struggles of love aren’t your thing. Here’s to hoping you have the same reading vice as me!
