Cute NASCAR story ... but the way Sarah handles the situation kinda upset me ... I mean the book is well written but..." Read more of this review and a TEASER here: https://frommetoyouvideophoto.blogspot.com/2010/05/disappointmentville-nascar-se... Sweet and adorable romance. The hero is a good guy who also happens to be a famous athlete, the heroine has a bit of a self-esteem problem but very likable overall. No huge misunderstandings or meanness in the book at all, it's just two people falling in love in all the right ways, highly recommend for a light read. Quite as enjoyable as its predecesor (Dangerous Curves), but definately more a NASCAR book. This one follows a race car driver (who was introduced in Curves) and the woman he hires to drive his bus. For the most part, the characters were enjoyable... although at one point I'd like to have smacked the female lead upside the head for rejecting the racer for the upteenth time. My one real complaint... the editing about 1/2 way thru missed that she was supposed to be a Kindergarten teacher and for about 2 chapters kept mentioning her 3rd grade students. It really bugged the editor in me. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
She wouldn't know a NASCAR star if he hit her with his car...and he just did. Sarah was a kindergarten teacher until a sleazy ex-boyfriend got her fired. Now the only job she can find is driving the motor coach for racing star Lance Cooper. She doesn't know a thing about NASCAR -- and she's off to a rocky start when she doesn't recognize her ultra-famous boss. Lance can't help but notice Sarah's sweet smile -- and how seriously unimpressed she is with his fame. Her reaction piques his interest -- and he's convinced she's a good-luck charm. But Sarah has no interest in Lance's jet-setting life; she'd rather deal with spitballs than one supersexy race car driver. Too bad whenever he comes near her she turns hot as race fuel. Soon things begin to heat up on the track, and Sarah begins to wonder if she might be able to teach one famous race car driver a few lessons about love.

Love the part where Sarah googles Lance's name and 900,000 results come up. She then googles her own name and 1 comes up for "Naked and naughty teachers". Hahah! Good stuff, the wonders of google.
When Sarah and Lance hook-up, the reader doesn't get to read about it just the author telling us they did which is strange for this type of book, I also thought the hook-up was a bit premature. The hook-up happened kind of fast but with Chik-lit books that is usually the case and my beef with them. Oh and yeah I definitely consider this a Chik-lit book.
Huh, funny how the author added in a restaurant called "Bimbos" where the waitresses are large breasted and wear tight, yellow, tops. Sounds familiar (Hooters) and interesting choice calling this restaurant "Bimbos" tell us how you really feel huh?
A tad bit perfect; mom went from being Joan Crawford and "no more wire hangers" to June Cleaver and freshly baked muffins.
Lance felt like a cardboard cut out character; didn't really know him. The only thing the reader knows about him is he is sexy and super nice. I just didn't connect with him at all.
This was a super fast read and cotton candy, no real substance. Not to be mean or anything (I love this saying because you just know something bitchy is going to follow it) but this story read as if it could have been a highschooler who wrote it. I'm usually not one for overblown sex scenes (unless they involve Camaros, yeah still not over that one. Tara Janzen- Crazy Hot) but man the author only describes them kissing and then has Sarah wake up one morning and say "Oh we did it". This was a teen fiction story being sold as an adult romance book. I didn't quite give it a failing grade because it did have a lot of funny moments and any book that at least makes you smile or laugh should be given a passing grade.
