Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.-Oscar Wilde,

This review is from: Flat-Out Sexy (Fast Track) (Paperback)
After losing her husband to a stock car accident two years ago, Tamara Riggs is a single mother and widow at the age of 32. She is just getting back into the dating scene when she meets a young rookie driver, Elec. Not really wanting to get involved with another race car driver, Tamara is convinced that keeping it light and casual is the only way to go, unfortunately that gets harder and harder to do.I loved this book and I think it is going to be an awesome series. Erin McCarthy cracks me up and she had me laughing out loud throughout this book. Tamara's friend Suzanne was a laugh riot and her outspoken and blunt ways quickly won me over. Erin McCarthy books are always extremely fun, humorous and a whole lot sexy. This one was no exception; I loved it from start to finish. Mixed in with all the sizzle and humor is a lot of emotion and depth. Tamara has a lot of reservations about herself and dating after all these years and is concerned about doing what's best for her kids. I adored Elic from the start; he has a lot of heart and was a hell of a good guy. It's great to read about a hero that can be sexy as hell, genuinely decent, and incredibly exciting. I can't wait to read the next one and look forward to more stories about this group of characters! Hard and Fast Cherise Everhard, November 2008

Just Flat Out Adorable,
This review is from: Flat-Out Sexy (Fast Track) (Paperback)
Flat Out Sexy was just Flat Out Adorable. The story starts with the heroine Tamara Briggs at a cocktail party trying to talk herself into then out of feelings for the guy she's been seeing and brought to the cocktail party when she bumps - literally - into the hero Elec Monroe. Through a series of events, they end up in a cab together headed to a friends trailer, where she is planning on spending the night. Elec ends up spending the night too, but they do not so much sleeping.But things take a down turn in the morning when Tamara finds out first Elec's age, which is a few years younger than her own and second the fact that he's a race car driver. You see Tamara is a widow with two children whose husband was killed in a race. She doesn't want to be involved with another driver again. Elec is so endearing in this book. He's so totally gone for Tamara right from the beginning. I've mentioned before that I love books when the hero is gone for the heroine. Add to the fact that this is a younger guy/older woman book and I loved it even more. It's adorable getting inside his head and seeing how smitten he is with her. Tamara has a number of issues against getting involved with Elec - issues I could really understand. She's insecure about her body and Elec is wonderful about allaying those insecurities and though she has a few qualms about the age difference, she isn't stuck on it. All in all, she's a great heroine. And the secondary characters are also very well drawn, from Suzanne, her best friend to Evan and Eve, Elec's siblings. There was one scene in particular, the dinner party scene for anyone who's read the book, that had me laughing out loud in a number of places. Although this is a race car themed book and I don't know didly about the race car scene, it didn't overwhelm the book and wasn't a problem at all in the reading. In fact it looks like her next book is the same setting and after reading the excerpt, I'm really looking forward to it's release so I can get back into this world.

4 stars: funny, sexy and sweet contemporary romance,
By S. Cook "Reviewer" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flat-Out Sexy (Fast Track) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. Even though it's not normally the type of book I go for, I tried it for a couple of reasons: 1) I like the author's Vegas Vampires series and 2) the story is based in the Mooresville/Charlotte area. I live in Mooresville, which is also known as 'Race City USA' because there are so many NASCAR teams based here. I'm not personally into racing, but I know a little about it since my hubby is a fan. I thought it'd be interesting to try story based where I live and about the sport that's so popular in this area. I'm glad I did!This is a great summer beach read style book. An entertaining contemporary romance, it's not too heavy on the race stuff (so it won't get on your nerves if you aren't into the sport). Actually the drivers the way they were described were a lot of fun and, well, HOT. The story is about Tamara and Elec. Tamara's hubby was a popular driver who was killed two years ago. She's been focusing on raising her kids and work, and hasn't gotten much involved in dating. She is ready to try it, but doesn't have any interest in dating a driver because of the high risk nature of their sport. Elec comes from a family of race car drivers. He's the new up and coming rookie, and when they meet at a party Tamara doesn't recognize him. Their coming together was very sexy and sweet. A very nice romance! I will definitely give the other books in this series a try. If you haven't tried Erin McCarthy, she does a great job at writing humorous romance that will make you laugh. Her Vegas Vampires series (High Stakes (Vegas Vampires, Book 1)) is a fun paranormal romance. I also enjoyed The Pregnancy Test and You Don't Know Jack (Brava Contemporary Romance).
