So yes, I will be stalking the bookstore and websites looking for the release of the unnamed second book. There is a teaser at the end of the book for the next one, but no title and no date as yet when it will be out.

The chemistry between Elec and Tamara was hot but tender at the same time, as he slowly made her believe how beautiful she was. Just in this book alone there is the potential for several more books (read this as I really WANT more books with these characters). I really loved all the characters in this book and I am looking forward to seeing more of them. Elec is definitely in my top ten heroes for 2008. While he respects those fears, he still gently nudges her toward a more open relationship with him, but even then, if he senses her unease, he backs off.

He is willing to let Tamara direct the relationship to a point, because he knows and understands her fears. Caring, tender, funny, patient, understanding, and, of course, flat-out sexy. It’s not easy for her and a lot of that determination comes after she meets Elec and is able to see how he views her and that he does mean all the things he is telling her.Įlec.

Her fears are real as well as her determination to move past them and feel like a woman again. I have liked others, but Tamara feels like a real person. Tamara is one of the few heroines that I have read this year that I truly, truly liked. She is the mother of two young children and having them lose another father would not only devastate her children, but her as well. Having lost her husband to the sport two years ago, Tamara Briggs wants no part of a relationship with another driver. Sybil couldn’t believe it took me a week to read this book, but after waiting for so long, I wanted to savor it for a while, and after reading the first chapter, I knew I didn’t want to rush through this one. It’s been two years since her last one (I like her paranormals too, but her contemporaries will always be my favorites). McCarthy is back to writing her contemporary romances. Erin McCarthy has now jumped onto the scene with this latest featuring a rookie race car driver and the widow of a former race car driver. Kimberly Raye and Pamela Britton have also released books featuring this very popular sport. Over the last couple of years, there has been a surge in books based around the sport of stock car racing.
