Megan Winters had lusted over Troy Harris, drummer for international rock band Power Station, for years. Not being the type of girl who was invited backstage, her fantasies had stayed just that, fantasies. When her best friend unexpectedly starts dating one of the other band members it puts her on a crash course at war with her libido. Her solution— they need to have sex. Surely once she had scratched that itch, and saw the fantasy didn’t live up to the reality she could move on. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Troy Harris vowed to stay away from Megs. The sexy, smart and funny blonde left his mind and his body feeling like a pretzel. No matter how attracted he was to her, she was a no-go zone. The best friend of his best friend’s girlfriend? Cue the reality show. But when she gives him the chance to have a one-night no strings good time, there was no way he could turn that down. Maybe she was right. One night, and then they could go back to being just friends.
Both of them were delusional.
{REVIEW}
The admiration that I have for Crash Ride by T Gephart can’t step foot to really express truly the depth of how the poised and brilliantly sizzling hot narrative ignited a deep and meaningful imprint on my heart.
There comes a time when a book truly leaves you awe-inspired and with a full heart. Crash Ride was this for me. Troy Harris, as he will forever be known as now, conveyed the utmost of a raw male lead with a fun-filled side of chemistry with strong-minded Meg. Crash Ride personally broke a boundary of walls that ended with a flood-gate of rolling emotions. Troy and Meg’s narrative has so much heart and the poignant and expressionistic story-telling will forever be remembered. Gephart has a way of writing novels that truly made the worst of days in reality seemingly limitless.
Gephart’s latest novel focuses on Troy; the drummer of Power Station and Meg; Ashlyn’s (from High Strung) best friend as they exquisitely try the scratch-the-itch of electricity between them, hoping feelings don’t embed them for more. The chemistry ignited from the very first page and Meg’s demeanour graphed the wiz-bang-and-sizzle I love about Gephart’s writing throughout the novel. The emotions recoiled throughout the novel left me desperate to shout from the roof-top of yet again a brilliant novel. I cried, I loved, I wanted to snuggle my kindle in the hopes that Troy Harris would pop out and be reality, as the road of the heart ever is with Gephart’s books.
The flair of heart, the banter of the light; the raw passion and emotional poised a heart-stopping extraordinary flight of chemistry between Troy and Meg. Crash Ride was undeniably HOLY- EXPLETIVE-EXPLETIVE- MY- brain-is-so-fried-I-can’t-think” in my personal opinion, because it sentimentally made me personally smile in the darkest of stressful times in reality. I truly have to thank T Gephart, as the characters were believable, the narrative was flawless in it’s ability to convey emotions and the blend of Troy and Meg’s chemistry made a stripped down perfect fusion of a chemistry that is worth fighting for. The cemented tone of the book was fun, flirty and steamy but was grounded by the hardships of life which truly took my breath away. The evoked range of emotions left me awe-inspired as a reader and Gephart is truly one of those authors that no matter what I will read. 5 emotional, tears-in-my-eyes and a full heart of love stars.
P.S. I can’t wait for J-A-S-E! <3

{POWER STATION SERIES}
High Strung (Power Station #1)
Ashlyn Murphy was not living the dream. Twenty-seven years old, college educated, up to her eyeballs in debt and yet she’d been relegated to pouring beers at a local bar. She desperately needed an out and was willing to do anything to get back into the corporate world. Well, almost anything. Dan Evans, Rock Star was NOT one of those things. In fact she despised him. Apparently he didn’t get the memo.
Dan Evans, bass player of international rock band Power Station had it all. He was rich, travelled the world, played to millions of adoring fans and had no shortage of beautiful women willing to share his bed. He didn’t need a moody redheaded knockout with a superiority complex complicating his life. Or did he?
When two people who couldn’t be more opposite cross paths, it’s bound to be explosive; sometimes all you can do is sit back and enjoy the show.

{AUTHOR BIO}
T Gephart is an indie author from Melbourne, Australia.
T’s approach to life has been somewhat unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel and life experience.
With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to find her niche in the world.
While on a subsequent trip the United States in 1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which is anything but ordinary. They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia and have traveled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young children and one four legged child, Woodley, the wonder dog.
An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong, independent and confident and who didn’t lack femininity. Out of this need, she decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate. T set herself the challenge to write something that was interesting, compelling and yet easy enough to read that was still enjoyable. Pulling from her own past “colorful” experiences and the amazing personalities she has surrounded herself with, she had no shortage of inspiration. With a strong slant on erotic fiction, her core characters are empowered women who don’t have to sacrifice their femininity. She enjoyed the process so much that when it was over she couldn’t let it go.
T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colorful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey – she is well and truly enjoying the ride!
Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.
