Gray Preston loves fast cars and has built Preston Racing
from the ground up, not relying on his family's wealth or
his father the senator. Gray believes his father is a
selfish, narcissistic politician. When Evelyn Hill shows up
to convince Gray to use his fan base to support his father's
bid for Vice President of the United States and the
subsequent election Gray doesn't hesitate to refuse.
Evelyn hasn't built a successful career in politics by
taking no for an answer so she doesn't hesitate to call on
Grays' mother, the one woman he can't refuse, to get him to
change his mind. Before she knows it, Evelyn is traveling on
the racing circuit with Gray and his team, looking for ways
to benefit the campaign and possibly help Gray see his
father as she sees him. As she gets to know him, she
realizes there is more to Gray than she expected and the
attraction between them grows steadily. Can they balance
the demands of politics with the fast pace of the race track
in order to have a future together?
ONE SWEET RIDE is an entertaining addition to the
Play-by-Play series by Jaci Burton. Behind another
drool-worthy cover, there is a romantic and sexy story of a
man and woman finding their way to each other. Gray is
struggling with his family issues while Evelyn is trying to
come to terms with her political objectives while her
attachment to Gray grows. Given the high-pressure nature of
both politics and racing, I expected a more intense story.
I thought the plot, while interesting, was a bit slow-paced
for the settings in which it played out. Also, I must
admit to missing glimpses into the lives of characters we've
seen before. We introduced to Carolina and Drew, who will
be featured in the next book in the series, Melting the
Ice.
Gray Preston was born into money, but he's built his
racing empire on hard work and muscle. And now that Gray has
millions of fans, his senator father sends one of his aides,
Evelyn Hill, to elicit Gray's help in garnering votes for
the upcoming national election. Gray wants nothing to do
with his estranged father’s campaign, but Evelyn can be
pretty persuasive. She’s willing to learn about racing,
and maybe even get a little dirty.
Evelyn’s number-one goal is politics, which makes working
with Gray difficult, because his only passion is fast cars.
As she and Gray spend time together, he teaches her about
the sport he loves, and she learns a lot about the man
behind the wheel. The more she learns, the more she wants
him. But any desire that threatens to derail the carefully
laid plans for her future is a dangerous one.
With the passion Gray and Evelyn share running hotter than
either imagined, one of them is going to have to compromise,
or else run the risk of losing more than their hearts.
