I really liked this book for so many different reasons.
In this, the second in the fast track series, book the characters are Imogene Wilson or Emma Jean and Ty McCordle. This book picks up where Flat Out Sexy ended. We get the same characters and a new one in Jonas.
I will dispense with the summary, since that can be read above, but jump right into why I really enjoyed this book.
The theme of getting caught is present again. And the ironic part is that it's Elec who catches them kissing on Elec and Tammy's front porch. These characters get caught up in passion and forget where they are.
I also liked the Shakespeare theme. The author does a great job of linking Beatrice to a modern day female. And the fact that for so long in the book, Ty calls her Emma Jean instead of Imogene, a Shakespearian character. I also accepted him calling her the incorrect name because it sounded southern and they are in North Carlonia.
I liked the line ". . .sometimes logic had no business between a man and a woman but that pleasure always did."
The secret in the book is that Ty can't read because of his dyslexia and he is in love with a woman who is going to graduate school for her doctorate. And when the secret comes out, there is a huge argument that leads to the break-up of the characters. Enter, Suz and Ryder, the matchmakers of these books. I love these two.
The sex scenes were muy caliente, 4 chili peppers. I did feel that the first sex scene was a little too long if such a thing can exist.
There is the usual racing speak applied to all aspects of life, especially sex.
The first chapter started with two quotes from the same book. Only that chapter had the heading. If the author started with it, I expected the heading at every chapter. And this remined me of See Jane Score.
