I don't even like racing!

This is a classic Nora Roberts book- and I loved it! The story focuses around car racing- which holds absolutely NO interest for me, yet I couldn't put this book down. That says a lot about the lure of the romance.

Foxy grew up on the racing circuit, her brother is now a big racing star, and she returns to be the photographer for a story on him. She meets up with the man she once had a girlhood crush on- the financer of her brother's car, and his best friend. They discover a mutual attraction but they rub each other the wrong way.

This book is sweet and I love that although the characters are beautiful and brilliant they also have flaws. I recommend picking this book up!

Can I Rate this Book a Negative Number???

This is by far the most awful, horrible book I have ever read in my life... really. If you want to waste time and money to buy it and read it - go ahead, but it would be exactly that - a total waste. The writing was extremely poor and bordered on a second-grade vocabulary. There was less than zero chemistry between any of the characters - I mean, the lead male continually tells his wife/girlfriend to shutup, he calls her an idiot, and he tries to drown her in the bathtub a few weeks into the marriage - that's romantic???!!! There was no respect between any of the characters at all. I have no idea what the other reviewers were reading, but I think anything with the name Nora Roberts gets a high rating just because. This was one of her earlier works (perhaps the first? or very close to it), and I know she's improved. Just stay away from this book and I would assume anything of hers written pre-fame because it's likely to be just as awful. A terrible waste of printing money and materials. AWFUL!
