3 1/2 STARS Another sexy read in this series and an opposites attract romance- and boy were they opposites. The hero Diesel was a dreamboat and I loved his personality. Easygoing, respectful, reserved, and grounded- not full of himself AND a Dom in the bedroom. He was no longer a driver because of a horrible accident in a NASCAR race. He accepted his forced retirement with dignity, lived a quiet life, and wanted a relationship, not bimbos or just random sex. The heroine, Tuesday was crazy, it was hysterical at first. So high energy and she would say exactly what she thought, no filters. She wore me out and I started to see her more as a spoiled brat, but there was definite chemistry and hot, hot sex between the two of them. She also had a drinking problem because she was trying to deal with her father's death. I think towards the end she exhausted Diesel too and he was questioning if he could really live with her. It was a sweet book and the characters from all the previous books were there so you could catch up on there stories as well.

Erin McCarthy is an auto buy for me and I usually move her to the top of my TBR list. She writes page turner stories with scorching HOT sex scenes (almost erotica), but they aren't so drawn out that they lose there excitement. This wasn't my favorite of the series, but I do love Race Car Drivers because of this series!

Baba  Nice review, Splage! Ok, I'd like to know which one is your favorite of this series? And you mentioned that he is a Dom in the bedroom. Are there BDSM elements in this story?


Splage I liked the 1st and 2nd book the best. I did read them a long time ago when everything was new to me- i just became a reader 3 years ago- so they might not all be rated a 5 if I read them for the first time today. I just love the whole sports hero theme, they are my kind of guys.

There was not really BSDM, more implied with a whip and bondage, but McCarthy writes very sexy stories. Diesel was a very cool reserved guy, but he was in charge in the bedroom, gave orders, and did some dirty talking- very yummy!

Ok, thanks for the heads-up, Splage!
