In The Fast Lane

IN THE FAST LANE is the first book in Audra North's new Hard Driving series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a laugh-out-loud fun read.

Race car driver Kerri Hart and her brothers are struggling to keep their father's legacy alive, but they need an infusion of cash to make that happen. Ranger Colt has been promised a promotion by his father if he can go in and rescue the Hart Racing business.

When Kerri learns that her brother has sold most of their company to Colt, she is none too happy about it and does not hold back in expressing her feelings. Kerri is usually very vocal with her opinions, which the media never misses an opportunity to publish. Her latest verbal opinion is about a very public proposal by an ex-boyfriend. All of these incidents have cost Hart Racing to lose sponsors.

Ranger's suggestion for a solution to these problems is for him and Kerri to convince the public that they are engaged. In order for this to work they have to put on public displays of love. These public displays soon turn into private displays, and a lot more.

Ranger and Kerri both are trying to prove a point. Ranger is trying to beat his father and prove he is a better man after his father abandoned him and his mother. Kerri is trying to prove she is just as good as any of the guys because she is the only female racer and she wants to continue her father's legacy.

Ranger and Kerri agreed that they would enjoy the fun while it lasted and then walk away when their time together was up. Neither of them expected things to change. Kerri realizes she's not ready for things to end when the opportunity comes for Ranger to walk away. Ranger has hated his father for so long until he is totally shocked to learn what his father's real intentions have been all along.

This is a great first book in the series that provides humor and a serious examination about motivations. I am looking forward to the next book!

SUMMARY

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

Racing cars is in Kerri Hart's blood--literally, since it's the family business. But Hart Racing is in dire financial straits, and as the only female rookie driver, Kerri's sponsorship offers always tend to be of the unzipped racing- suit variety. It's a message she'd rather not sell to her young fans. But how can she afford not to?

LOVE ON OVERDRIVE

Ranger Colt knows how to make a woman's heart race. But when his voice pops up on Kerri's headset--while she's in mid- tailspin--she's in no mood for his charms. Colt Hardware now has a significant stake in the Hart family business, and Kerri has no choice but to work with him. But when her ex-boyfriend makes a very public, tabloid-fodder scene that threatens to tarnish her image, it's Ranger who comes to the rescue. Pretending to be engaged to generate some good publicity seems like a good plan. In fact, it works--all too well. What begins as a ruse is revving up to feel a whole lot like the real thing. Will Kerri and Ranger's fake-lationship take a wild turn. . .and lead them toward the finish?

"The type of book that keeps you up late into the night, In the Fast Lane is utterly addictive and completely satisfying. Audra North has her finger on the pulse of contemporary romance-flawless writing, smart heroines, and sexy-as-sin heroes."- Lauren Layne, USA Today bestselling author
