"One of the romance writing industry's brightest stars"(Romance Reviews Today) returns with a flat-out delightful, new, and sexy contemporary romance about a woman who's happy being singleand the man determined to change her mind.
Independent single mother Tamara Briggs wanted to find a new, sexy, no-strings-attached manjust not one as young as NASCAR driver Elec Monroe. But he sure does get her heart racing. And after she's tricked into a blind date with him, Tamara gives in to her passion. Things screech to a halt, though, when he asks to meet her children. Whatever happened to wham-bam-thank-youma'am? Suddenly Tamara has to decide how much risk she's willing to take to experience the power of true love.
McCarthy strays from her more recent Vegas Vampires series and heads to the world of racing for a steamy romance. Two years after Tamara Briggs's husband was killed in a wreck at Talladega, she's back to dating, but her latest beau is a dud. She dumps him and remains intent on not ending up with another race-car driver, but that's exactly what she gets when she meets Elec Monroe. Things progress quickly, and soon she's having dynamite sex with this younger man who's nice to her kids-who could ask for more? There's a catch of course: Elec is the son of Tamara's dead husband's father's sworn enemy. The narrative is fast-paced and red hot; fans of more graphic romances will enjoy this and welcome the next-a sequel is in the works. (Nov.)

June 07, 2009: This contemporary romance about a race car driver and a widow with two small children stole my heart. The book cover is deceiving giving one the impression it will be all about meaningless sex and no story. WRONG!!!! I was completely taken from the beginning and read it in one day. It was funny, sexy and even the secondary characters were enjoyable. I rooted for the main couple from the jump and one of my favorite parts is when Tamara discovers Elec's age. I laughed out loud. I could totally relate to Tamara's self consciouness about her body after child bearing. I as a divorced single mom struggled with the same issues until I met my second husband and he makes me feel sexy everyday, so Ladies guys like Elec do exist. Hats off to Erin for writing a great read and I plan to buy more of her books. I'm starting the second book in this series, "Hard and Fast", today.
