Wheeler is the story of a professional female cyclist and her life both on and off the bike. Lauren is a long time professional cyclist. In the beginning, she is with her team in Europe. During a training ride, she has a flat tire. A good looking guy stops to help her, and Lauren realizes he is a famous actor, Graham Atherton. Their interaction leads to a romantic relationship, but this is not wholly a romance novel. It's just a part of the bigger picture. Because he's so famous, Lauren is thrust into the spotlight as well. Ugly and terrible things about her past are revealed. Graham is by her side as they navigate this new territory. Can their relationship survive the scrutiny? On another front is the cycling world and Lauren's place therein. By an earlier mishap, she is now team captain. Cycling is complicated, but it's explained in an informative understandable way. She and her team travel all over to compete,and this is a great insight. The worst part, though, is Lauren working with her ex, Felix, who is hired as director. He's a part of her ugly past. As the story unfolds, we see how horrible Felix is in his mistreatment of Lauren. Despite this trauma, she is the type who keeps pushing and perseveres at all costs. Unfortunately, she is sidelined by accidents and injuries. Eventually, it's just too much, and Lauren struggles to keep strong and properly recover as demons from the past come back to torment her. Will Lauren overcome the obstacles thrown in her path? She's tough, intelligent and never gives up, but will this be enough? Graham, thankfully, doesn't abandon her, even though he, too, has a troubled past and baggage to carry. (His random Shakespeare quotes are perfect to lighten the story a bit). Graham is kind, smart and talented. He's the type you don't find anymore. Can Lauren and Graham weather these storms? Read and find out! This is definitely a thrilling and suspenseful read with many layers. It's a sharp engrossing story that I promise will capture and keep you for a while. I recommend! (
