5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Suspense with Family Secrets and NASCAR, February 7, 2005

By 

Dr. Edward Dow (Pewaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Killer Curves (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my third book by Roxanne St. Claire and she did not disappoint!

I was riveted to the story of Celeste and Beau. The plot had multiple layers bringing in the family secret tied to Beau's need for Celeste and Celeste's need to understand where she came from. Celeste's escape from her debutante upbringing, three failed engagements and sham of a father brings her to the "redneck" world of colorful characters within the NASCAR circuit. The reader is drawn into this world through Celeste, taking the journey of her self discovery while being drawn into the steamy romance ignited by the characters' powerful chemistry.

In addition, if you haven't read French Twist or Tropical Getaway, I urge you to do so ASAP! Both are excellent romantic suspense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zoom, Zoom, January 23, 2005

By 

Marilyn Puett (Huntsville, AL, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Killer Curves (Mass Market Paperback)

When bad boy racing legend Beau Lansing shows up in NYC and personally requests her as a guide at the Guggenheim, socialite Celeste Bennett knows that something's up. Before long, she finds out that Beau knows the secret she's kept since she was a teenager. Beau's mentor, Travis Chastaine, is dying and only Celeste can save his life. And now Beau must convince Celeste to make the sacrifice necessary to do so. He asks her to donate a kidney for Travis. But before she'll consider it, Celeste wants to learn more about the man who fathered her and then took a huge pay-off to disappear from her life. She takes a position with Chastaine Motorsports, working incognito as a sponsor liaison. Celeste becomes Cece, Beau becomes enamored of this woman who's his total opposite and they both become very concerned when someone threatens her. Roxanne St. Claire is living up to last year's "Publisher's Weekly" prediction that she would be one of the next big names in writing. She blends NASCAR, high society, romance and suspense and then runs flat-out across the finish line for a checkered flag.

5.0 out of 5 stars A race from start to finish!, January 29, 2005

By 

Lauren K. (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Killer Curves (Mass Market Paperback)

This book roars right out of the gate with nonstop adventure. I've never read a NASCAR romance but after this, I'm tempted to go to a race. Ooooh are all drives like Beau Lansing? I wanna be a Beau Babe!

Heroine Celeste (Cece) is a wonderful fish out of water in the NASCAR world and her relationship with Beau really heats up the track. The mystery kept me wondering, the relationship kept me turning pages, and the love scenes..well, wow!

For a fast thrill ride, grab Killer Curves the minute you see it.
