Running on Diesel by Melissa Foster is the eighth book in her The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor series. Once again Ms. 
Foster tells an emotional story that tugs at your heartstrings.
Tracey Kline is a waitress at the Whiskey family’s bar, Whiskey Bro’s. She arrived in Peaceful Harbor an abused young woman fleeing her ex. Luckily the bus dropped her off in Maryland where she met a nice woman willing to drive her the rest of the way to her destination, the Parkvale Women’s Shelter. The shelter is run by a Dark Knights family, the Dark Knights being a biker group dedicated to protecting their communities and doing good. The Dark Knights Whiskey family in Peaceful Harbor helped Tracey out with a waitress job at their bar. Tracey was grateful to them. She enjoyed her job. What she didn’t enjoy so much was the, to her, overly protective attitude one of the bartenders at Whiskey Bro’s, Diesel Black had toward her. She felt she should be very annoyed with him and she was, but she also felt butterflies in her stomach when he looked at her. How could she be so attracted to Diesel?
Desmond “Diesel” Black is a member of the Dark Knights, a Nomad member who didn’t stay in any one place for long. He’d been bartending at Whiskey Bro’s for two years because Red Whiskey asked for help, not only with the bar, but also with watching over Tracey Kline. Red wanted Tracey kept safe from her ex-boyfriend in case he ever found her. Diesel was happy to help. What he wasn’t happy about was his attraction to Tracey. Diesel knows she isn’t a wanderer like he is. How long can he hold out though?
Melissa Foster writes “feel good” romance that melts your heart with a delightful side of hot sex. The two main characters, Tracey Kline and Diesel Black are closed off, especially Diesel. When his single mother died of cancer when he was nineteen Diesel got on his bike and kept going, running from his hurt. The running ended when he admitted to himself how he felt about Tracey and she smashed the walls he had built around his heart. Tracey found trust and safety with Diesel. When they finally got together they made a perfect couple.
I very much enjoy Melissa Foster’s writing style. I like how she incorporates the cutest kids in her stories. I loved this book!
