Publisher's summary
"I'll do anything." Staff Sergeant Jasper "Ace" Atchison takes one look at Private Sonny Daye and knows that every word on paper about him is pure, unadulterated bullshit. But Sonny is desperate, and although Ace isn't going to take him up on his offer of "anything", that doesn't mean he isn't tempted.
Instead, Ace takes Sonny under his wing, protecting him when they're in the service and making plans with him when they get out. Together, they're going to own a garage and build race cars and make their fortune hurtling faster than light across the desert. Together, they're going to rewrite the past, make Sonny Daye a whole and happy person, and put the ghosts in Ace's heart to rest.
But not even Sonny can build a car fast enough to escape the ghosts of the past. When Sonny's ghosts drive them down and run their plans off the road, Ace finds out exactly what he's made of. Maybe Sonny was the one to promise Ace anything, but there is nothing under the sun Ace won't do to keep Sonny safe from harm.

Story
Terrell Washington's childhood was a trifecta of suck: being black, gay, and poor in America has no upside. Terrell climbed his way out of the hood only to hit a glass ceiling and stop, frozen, a chain restaurant bartender with a journalism degree. His one bright spot is Colby Meyers, a coworker who has no fear, no inhibitions, and sees no boundaries. Terrell and Colby spend their summers at the river and their breaks on the back dock of Papiano's.

A psychic without an anchor. A student in trouble. A shooter on the loose.I’m Jonathan Bane, a licensed psychic who consults for the police. I routinely help the police put the bad guys away and, for that reason, the criminal world doesn’t like me much. People like to take a swing at me, or go stabbity, or try for a gun. It makes for interesting times. My psychic ability prevents me from handling anything electronic—and I do mean ANYTHING, I fry it in seconds—so calling for help isn’t always a possibility.

I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what?

You’ll never hear anyone wax poetic over an organ quite like they do the heart. When you’re lost in the world? Follow your heart. When your love for someone is unwavering, unparalleled and unprecedented? You give them your heart. As a lead pediatric cardiac surgeon, I knew better than anyone that the heart is equally as powerful as it is delicate. The heart giveth just as easily as it taketh away. And until the day Kelly Potter darkened my doorway that was all just part of the job.

Story
Theo Decker might be the lead singer of Riven, but he hates being a rock star. The paparazzi, the endless tours, being recognized everywhere he goes - it all makes him squirm. The only thing he doesn't hate is the music. Feeling an audience's energy as they lose themselves in Riven's music is a rush unlike anything else...until he meets Caleb Blake Whitman. Caleb is rough and damaged, yet his fingers on his guitar are pure poetry. And his hands on Theo? They're all he can think about. But Caleb's no groupie - and one night with him won't be enough.

Story
Sometimes you don't mean to become another person. Sometimes the choice is made for you, and pretending is the only thing that keeps you going. When Alexis Romera is taken and her kidnappers find her fake ID in her purse, she must become Sophia in order to keep her family safe. Revealing her real identity to the man she's sold to would be easy enough, but can she trust him? Hell-bent on avenging the murder of his uncle, Rebel doesn't seem all that interested in playing things safe.

Marisol locks me out of my own concert by accident. She's wearing a suit at a rock show, searching for her lost law school textbook, has no idea who I am, and for the first time in years, I'm hooked. She's smart, driven, and utterly gorgeous. The sort of girl who earnestly believes in following the rules and hates when others don't. I'm a huge rock star, recovering addict, and general f--kup. Our relationship is for show and that's all. But with every smile, every laugh, and every breathtaking glance at her curves, I want her more.

Blue Collar Wonderful
The blurb says that Ace will do anything for Sonny and he does. This is another winner from Amy Lane. The story is told from Ace's POV and he is a wonderful, funny, tell it like it is character from a loving blue collar family. Although he has hid the fact that he is gay for a long time, wanting Sonny has made him determine to be with him and nothing is going to stop him. He is magnificent. Sonny is another story. He has been traumatized in the worst way for many years and has MAJOR trust issues. Neither of these MCs comes across as entirely mentally stable, but it is what it is and they make if work. Sometimes painfully. Overall, it is a wonderful story and the narrator is PERFECT!! He really brought these men to life for me. Definitely worth a credit.

Great narration, story wasn't for me
I've been sitting here for a while trying to put into words what I thought of this book and I still don't know. On the one hand I enjoyed the overall story along with Nick J. Russo's narration of it, but on the other hand I had some major issues with one of the main characters.
Racing for the Sun is told from Ace's POV. It all started that day back in the military when Sonny offered to do anything just as long as Ace didn't turn him in for falsifying his papers. Instead of taking him up on the offer Ace takes Sonny under his wing and protection, doing everything he can to make sure Sonny makes it out unharmed.
Fast forward a couple of years and they are both out of the service and trying to start over by running a garage. Putting Sonny's expertise in cars to good use, they begin to race cars for money. Luck is shining down on them for a while - until fate and the past catches up with the pair.
Ace has been in love with Sonny from the very first day they met. He'd do anything and everything to protect him, and the lengths he goes to in order to protect his man is at times extraordinary, and might someday come back to bite him in the ass. I liked Ace, there was something simple and straightforward with him, no muss no fuss. I do wish we'd gotten more of him and his needs and wants and not always him living for Sonny.
There was something not quite right with Sonny. I don't mind my men to be a bit broken and scarred from their past. But this thing with Sonny was just too much, too unhealthy and that desperate feeling he gave off made me uncomfortable, to be honest. He needed professional help, so much more than Ace could offer. And no, I don't need him to be all fixed and perfect and shiny, but sane would definitely be preferable. I can understand that what Sonny went through in his past did traumatize him, it traumatised him a lot and I don't in any way want to diminish that, but I also feel like he needed to deal with it and work through it to truly be able to move forward, and not run away from it. Because sooner or later, things will probably explode and that is going to be ugly.
The relationship while platonic for the first couple of years due to the military and closet/miscommunication issues bordered on insta-love. One conversation and they were devoted to each other like no other. It didn't quite feel believable and it's been done so many times before that I was looking for something more.
I have said it before and I'll say it again; Nick J. Russo is a fantastic narrator. He nailed the voices for both Ace and Sonny, their personalities shone through and the accent for Ace was great and added another layer to the narration.
The overall story and the narration was a good one, but Sonny kept me from truly enjoying this book.

One of my Favorite Lane stories
Since this book came out it has been 2nd only to Chase in Shadows as my favorite Amy Lane story. Nick J Russo has hit the mark with his narration of Ace and Sonny.
What will a man do for love? If that man is Jasper "Ace" Atchison he'll do what ever is needed.

Hard to listen to, but so, so good
Sonny comes to the Army looking to escape a horrible nightmare of a life and almost finds more trouble than he can handle until Ace takes him under his wing. His “I’ll do anything” earns him a permanent place in Ace’s life and later in his heart.
After the Army, Ace builds Sonny his dream garage and when Sonny joins him the two work together – using drag racing to supplement their income – to carve out a life in the desert of southern California. Before they can find their HEA the two have to face some pretty hard-core parts of their pasts and it gets really rough before it gets good.
Amy Lane is not called the Queen of Angst for nothing. This book is filled with angst. At every turn. Beautiful, heart-wrenching angst, on the level with The Locker Room and Chase in Shadows. These two boys barely know how to communicate but they manage to find enough words to tear your heart out. They love each other so hard, it is sometimes painful, but so wondrous and sweet, too.
I love how the book opens in the desert in Afghanistan and then transitions to the desert of California. The hardships these boys face are similar, no matter the location. Ace is an amazing, soft-hearted, open-souled guy who manages to hang on to his sweetness despite being ignored by his family and being told living life as a gay man is almost not worth living at all. Sonny’s life really can’t get much tougher, yet he manages to survive, despite all odds, and still retain a part of him that just screams innocence and vulnerability that makes you want to wrap him in a quilt and feed him marshmallows all day. Ace needs to be needed and Sonny needs Ace.
In the end, they manage to slay the dragon and keep each other safe and the result is a story so touching you’ll need at least one full box of Kleenex to finish.
The narration by Nick J Russo is spot on perfect. His vaguely country twang for Ace is just how I imagined it in my head when I read the book. It made me think Ace was a real guy Amy met at a bar one day and this was the story she recorded for us, as the two shared some beers.
He does a great job with Sonny too, perfectly depicting him as an ADHD perfectionist full of neuroses but also full of heart.
Though his other characters are less believable – Mr Go-Bear could use some work- Jai is awesome and even Alba and Mrs Atchinson are well done.
I can’t recommend this enough – it is an amazing book and the audio version does it justice times ten.

A Heart Pounding Love Story
Would you listen to Racing for the Sun again? Why?
I love Amy Lane and she never disappoints me when I buy one of her books or audio books, and this one is NO EXCEPTION. In fact, I think this one has more pathos that any one I have read or listened to recently.
She manages to take ALMOST completely broken individuals and shows that through the power of LOVE lives can be changed. This story illustrates that perfectly. It also shows the extreme and dramatic steps one person will go to in order to keep those they love safe from harm.
Nick J. Russo has done a marvelous job of narration as well. I have heard quite a few of his narrations and he always does great. Together Amy and Nick make a good pair to get a story across and straight to your heart.
BE CAREFUL, do no listen to this if you do not want some tears slipping down your face during the performance.
Great job Amy and Nick! Can't wait until the next one.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Racing for the Sun?
Those tender moments when Ace kept reassuring Sonny that he would keep him forever and love him as long as he lived.
Which character – as performed by Nick J. Russo – was your favorite?
Nick did a great job on all of the characters, but I could feel the strong masculine strength as well as the tender vulnerability of Ace through his intonations.
If you could rename Racing for the Sun, what would you call it?
I think it is a perfect name.
Any additional comments?
Can't wait until this duo work together again and I get to enjoy the performance.

Wonderful story, outstanding narration
What made the experience of listening to Racing for the Sun the most enjoyable?
This is a story where hard work, honesty, hope and love can overcome even the worst of nightmares. Amy Lane has become my favorite author of this genre and Nick Russo did an amazing job switching vocal intonations and accents with great aplomb. I hope Amy and Nick collaborate again in the near future!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Racing for the Sun?
When Sonny and Ace first meet.
Have you listened to any of Nick J. Russo’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not yet, but I'm to look for other books he has narrated!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Sonny met Ace's mother.
Any additional comments?
I would HIGHLY recommend this story to any devotee of m2m romance!

Had a little trouble getting into it.
Not your regular gay romance, probably too realistic. Liked that it was hard, and real.

Excellent narrator!
What made the experience of listening to Racing for the Sun the most enjoyable?
The narrator. This is the first time I have listened to Nick Russo and it will not be the last.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hai and Ace are probably my favorite characters. They both have huge hearts and are loyal through and through. They both save "puppies"
Which scene was your favorite?
When Sonny tells Ace about his past.... Maybe the attack to the base in the motor pool.
Any additional comments?
Great audio! Lane does it again, as usual.
