For Kendall Holbrook, racing is more than a dream come true, it means everything to her. Being the only female in a male dominated field is not the only reason for keeping to herself. Kendall gave her heart to rival Evan Monroe when they were teenagers and he trampled over her feelings or so she believes. Racing is a small community yet Kendall has no problems avoiding Evan until her best friend gets the two of them together to hash out their differences so they can move on with their lives. Evan never understood what happened between them but he is having a lousy year on the track, and if he doesn't get himself together he'll begin to lose sponsors. So far, nothing has worked to erase Kendall from his mind so he figures he'll give this showdown a chance. Neither Kendall nor Evan counted on old feelings being revived or how these flames will force one of them to make a choice between the finish line and love.

I loved THE CHASE. This contemporary romance is both sweet and sexy with a host of characters that are like everyday people. I really enjoyed how the author resolves the conflicts between the hero and the heroine. Ms. McCarthy did not allow misunderstandings to drag on indefinitely because of a lack of communication. She resolved the issues within a reasonable amount of time leaving more time for romance and mayhem among the diverse set of characters. This is the first book I've read in the Fast Track series but it won't be the last. I am already on the lookout for the previous books. A thoroughly entertaining romance from start to finish with just the right amounts of humor, angst, and action.
