A rough childhood branded Jasper Storm trouble. A bad boy. Not worth a damn. His love of cars was the only thing that could battle his delinquency. With the need for speed in his blood, he overcame his wayward ways. Mostly. Now that he's all grown up, the broken city of Detroit hails him as its shining star. And the man behind a new cutting-edge automobile is ready to turn this bankrupt town around.

Everything he does in life is fast. He talks fast, f*cks fast, and drives fast. But when one reckless turn brings him face to face with the childhood he has tried very hard to forget, he finds himself on the edge of wondering if he shouldn't slow down.

Charlotte Lane was the tomboy who lived next door. She was his best friend. He was her protector. Then tragedy struck, and she disappeared forever - or so he thought.

Contains mature themes.

Would you listen to Set the Pace again? Why?

Yes...great story

What was one of the most memorable moments of Set the Pace?

When Jake and Charlotte get together as a couple.

Have you listened to any of CJ Bloom and Sebastian York ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes - As usual Sebastian York hits it out of the ballpark. CJ's voice is very grating on the nerves when she tries to do annoyed.....Uh!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

As they remember childhood memories and how Jasper always took care of her.

Any additional comments?

Was a good book, ended on a cliffhanger, but is long enough that it feels like a full book.

Narrators:
Sebastian York: 4stars (his main voice is awesome, but the girl voices and moans are a little funny)
CJ Bloom: 3.5 stars (her main character voice is also awesome, but her male voices are distracting)

Ends with cliffhanger

Look, I've got sound sensitivity, like 10% of the population, so my problems won't be shared by all. But CJ Bloom's constant fluctuations between fog horn and whispers makes this so much harder to listen to.

I can't just set and forget the volume, as sudden, loud noises physically hurt my brain. I love when narratore stray from the monotone, but the random cycling mix of volume in her reading just doesn't make sense. Few people talk like that, and it really takes away from the story, which otherwise has some interesting, layered characters I wish we'd get to know better.

So, do give it a listen. Just be prepared for so e startling sounds. The car stuff is good.

Cute enough

The book has everything hope, mystery, murder, romance, hot sex, speed & a whopping cliffhanger. I am so disappointed that book 2 is not yet available on Audible but I will be the first to pre order when the time comes. this was the first book I read by this author and I'm impressed with the depth of a book I thought would only be about the sex & love. As usual Sebastian York kills it as Jasper Storm. CJ was good but not my fav lady narrator.
hope you enjoy the book as much as I did#
