Review

4 stars, RT Bookreviews --
"From the Outside ... A publicity stunt may have introduced America's sweetheart, Mallory Dalton to NASCAR's bad boy, Roberto Castillo, but there's nothing pretend about the chemistry that sizzles between them ... Brenna delivers an entertaining read from start to finish."

Product Description

With rumors that he has a mistress in every major city, rookie NASCAR driver Roberto Castillo is the quintessential playboy. That is, until Cargill Motorsports orders him to clean up his act. Fortunately, he's found just the girl to put a shine on his tarnished public image....

There's not a girl in America who could out-wholesome pretty actress Mallory Dalton. When Roberto suggests they date--for appearances only--Mallory knows that Roberto's bad-boy reputation could just as easily ruin her good-girl image. But the plan seems to have backfired...because now she really is falling in love with him!

5.0 out of 5 stars The reviews ARE true! This read that WILL leave you smiling!, December 23, 2010

This review is from: From the Outside (Harlequin NASCAR) (Kindle Edition)

I'm VERY hard to please when it comes to romance novels. Most are too contrived and too cheesy (I know, the formula for romance novels but some are too much). BUT From the Outside is NONE of those things. As a reader, I KNOW it's difficult to trust books with overwhelmingly positive reviews (trust me, I'm that reader too), but as that reader believe me when I say this one is actually legit.

Is the bad boy really as bad as the magazines say? Is the good girl really a closeted bad girl? So many twists and turns in this book make it the MUST READ of any avid romance novel reader.

Roberto Castillo is NASCAR's newest star but perpetual bad boy/playboy...as told by the media. After being ordered to clean up his image or else, his agent crafts a few guest cameos on a popular racing soap opera playing opposite America's Sweetheart soap star turned movie actress Mallory Dalton.

Mallory is finally ready to shed her good girl, wholesome image which has never felt like her. After signing the contract, Mallory and Roberto agree to a publicity romance to spice up her image while helping him appear to be tamed by the good girl. As Roberto and Mallory grow closer in their arrangement they learn interesting things about each other but the whole story is more of a story of growth for Mallory as she discovers who she's really meant to be. And a surprising twist that shocks everyone and turns Mallory's world upside down but is really what rights what she's felt was wrong all along.

If you want an EXCELLENT read and a fun love story where you absolutely love the male lead and the female lead the pick up From the Outside.

I loved this book. It's got a great plot line and a great set of characters. I'm a huge NASCAR fan so it pleased me from page one and you can't set it down.

This review is from: From The Outside (Harlequin NASCAR) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am not an avid NASCAR fan - but I still love this G-rated sports romance. This is an old story Playboy athletic fake a relationship with soap star and real romance blooms but because the writing is great and twists of the characters makes for fun read. Off to read her previous book Peak Performance (Harlequin Nascar).

If you enjoy this genre I would also suggest; Power Play (Berkley Sensation), On The Move (Harlequin Nascar), On the Edge and Double Play.
