I saw this series when I first signed up for this site under the Listopia sports romance. At the time I was into everything hockey. Having read most of those romances, I branched out. And I must say, that I was really missing out. I really enjoyed this book. I gave it a 3.5 rating because of some areas I had problems with.
Books like this are making me change my mind on the whole older-woman-younger-man theme. I really enjoyed how Tamara Briggs had a very difficult time believing and accepting that Elec Monroe was really interested in her. She does finally accept his affections and have an HEF. There are bumps along the way and that makes for a very entertaining read.
By page 19 I was really getting fed up with the racing analogies. Not knowing any race car drivers, even local ones I was curious to know if they all think and talk in this manner. Do they?
I liked the fact that Tamara has a real life job, a professor. I would have liked to have the back story on this. Was she always one or did she become one after Pete died? And why sociology?
I really liked the sparks between Suz and Ryder. Suz sounds like a hoot and a great friend to have. Ryder's personality shows the next morning. I really loved that scene and laughed aloud. I did find it hard to belived that Ryder did not know the meaning of obtuse.
I was not sure when Tamara got Elec's phone number. She breaks their date after he places 3rd the next day and she sends him a text. She does not get her phone and bag until the race has started. She does give him her number, but I don't remember her getting his.
I feel that Nikki is too dumb. She misses everything all the time? I could not buy it.
I thought the whole Katie Sweeny was unnecessary. The most important thing was that Pete(y) Jr accepted Elec dating his mother. The woman did not have to be Katie, the female that broke his heart in 5th grade, but some ohter young attractive female.
On page 236, I liked the line, ". . . sexy was a matter of confidence than appearance."
