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!
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
