5.0 out of 5 stars
Third entry into the series, August 5, 2010
This review is from: Hot Finish (Fast Track) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the third book into the series and this one has got to be my favorite one so far. Ryder is incredibly hot as well as flawed and clueless as any man can be. Suzanne tries to put up this tough front that she is a strong woman, but her weakness has always been Ryder. When they get together the sex is HOT, HOT, HOT. Since their divorce two years ago Ryder has still loved Suzanne, he just doesn't know how to get through to her. When they find out that they really aren't divorced, Ryder decides to pursue Suzanne into trying again with their marriage.
This book had me laughing and then some parts almost made me cry. I was waiting for these two to have their story told and i am glad that Erin McCarthy did not disappoint me.

Lacked emotional depth....., August 9, 2010
This review is from: Hot Finish (Fast Track) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really didn't care for this book all that much.
I've been awaiting Suzanne and Ryder's story since Flat Out Sexy and to say "I'm disappointed" may be a bit of an understatement. The only thing this book did for me was make me understand why their marriage never worked in the first place. Suzanne and Ryder's lack of communication defies description (and it doesn't really get any better throughout the book). They definitely have a passionate relationship, but I can honestly say that this is one of those couples whom I doubt would ever "make it" in the real world. Suzanne has some major emotional problems that she is not dealing with, and Ryder is too passive when it comes to Suzanne. This is a couple who was doomed from the start of their first marriage, and I believe is doomed for the same fate with their "second chance" marriage.
Bummer.
I was looking for growth and maturation and all I got was a psychological example of a dysfunctional couple.

Entertaining humorous romance, but not as great as earlier books, August 3, 2010
This review is from: Hot Finish (Fast Track) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really liked the previous books in this series as well as other books by this author, such as the Vegas Vampires series, The Pregnancy Test, Mouth to Mouth, and You Don't Know Jack. Erin McCarthy typically does a great job creating a laugh out loud funny romance that's both sweet and sexy. But this newest installment didn't *quite* live up to expectations. It's not bad--it's just that her other books were really very good so my expectations were high.
The storyline is about an estranged husband and wife Suzanne and Ryder (who we know from the earlier books in the series). They had serious communication issues, which ultimately resulted in their breakup even though they both had feelings for each other. I liked Suzanne and Ryder in the earlier books, and had looked forward to their story.
What I usually love about McCarthy's books are that they are humorous, light reading--perfect summer beach reads to relax with. This book didn't fit that. They argued all the time and I kept getting frustrated with the characters. Their problems primarily boiled down to bad communication. While some of the arguments were funny, they also kept stressing me out. I enjoyed seeing some of the characters from the earlier books like Elec, Tammy, Ty, Imogen, etc. And Ryder is a great leading guy. Yes, he has some communications issues, but when he finally shared his feelings he was oh so sweet.
And I'm not normally one to like book covers showing a guy with his shirt off (too cliche romance), but I have to say that whoever picked the models for the covers of this series did a great job. Love those abs! LOL
