FULL THROTTLE is Book 7 in this author's Fast Track
series. I have been a fan of this series for years. I enjoy
the well-written, sexy scenes between the main characters,
as well as the witty one-liners and sharp dialogue. This
book is no exception. The two main characters in this
story -- Shawn Hamby and Rhett Ford -- are connected to the
main characters from the previous book. Eve Monroe Ford is
Shawn's best friend and Rhett's sister-in-law, and Nolan is
Rhett's older brother.
I enjoyed catching up with Nolan and
Eve since reading about them in the last book. Whether it's
fate or just dumb luck, Shawn and Rhett meet at a fetish
club. There is some obvious mutual attraction but after
only meeting briefly, they don't see each other again until
things take a dramatic turn in Shawn's life. Due to some
stipulations in her grandfather's will, if she is not
married soon, she will lose Hamby Speedway. Rhett is the
first man who comes to mind as a potential instant husband
because they both have a love of dirt track racing, and she
feels that he would understand the importance of her
keeping the speedway at all costs. I enjoy marriage of
convenience storylines in general and I liked this one.
The
characters are well-developed and seemed very real. Nolan
remains my favorite Ford brother, but Rhett has his good
points. As he says, he may not be as engaging and
demonstrative with his emotions as his older brother, but
he knows how to treat a woman well. He's passionate, loyal,
and helps out around the house. Another big plus in his
favor, as far as I'm concerned, is that he likes Shawn's
confidence and that she's comfortable in her own skin. He
finds strong women attractive.
There's a lot of talk in
this book about submission and dominance. However, there's
not a whip or dungeon in sight. What Rhett really wants is
Shawn's trust. It's interesting to watch the push and pull
in the relationship while they figure themselves and each
other out.
There's also talk in the book about the fact
that Shawn is eight years older than Rhett's twenty-five
years. It's not something Shawn agonizes over in the book,
but it's always lurking at the back of her mind. The book
fully explores Shawn's fear of trusting a man in a
relationship and why Rhett confuses her so much.
FULL THROTTLE
is a lot of fun and super sexy, with some emotional heavy
lifting thrown in. I look forward to reading the next book
in this series as well as other things by this author.
As one of only two
girls on the tween racing circuit, Shawn Hamby has always
run with a fast crowd. But now at thirty-two, she doesn’t
need to prove anything to anyone. And she definitely doesn’t
need a man bossing her around off of the track…
Putting the pedal to the metal…
But after a
silly girls’ night at a fetish club, Shawn can’t get Rhett
Ford out of her mind. He’s younger than her, and he’s her
best friend’s brother-in-law, which should be red flags.
Rhett is looking for someone to lead in bed, but he can’t
imagine that Shawn would ever submit to him. Boldly
surrendering is more her style. And with Rhett behind the
wheel, it’s going to be one wild ride…
