Opposites do attract . . .

They also repel. But sometimes, they bond. Against any and all other expectations, that's just what happens in this most unusual romance novel. Of course, there has to be a love story -- one that has a happy ending -- or the book can't be a romance novel. Plain and simple. But this one IS different. Along with the NASCAR and the romance elements, it also deals realistically with an adult who cannot read. This is a serious social problem these days: one must be able to read in order to do almost any kind of work. Not having this skill can be tragic. Brandon Burke is the 'bad boy' to end all 'bad boys'. Big-time. He is so over-the-top you just want to punch him out. Or else shake him until his gorgeous blonde hair falls off his head. Exhibiting unusual talent for racing from a very early age, his Dad steered him toward a career as driver, without allowing the boy a chance to pick up the off-track skills he'd need for just living. Brandon is intelligent, however (most dyslexics really are!) so he teaches himself a lot of the skills he needs, except that he really can't read in an impromptu setting. He stonewalls agents, owner, mechanics, reporters and other important people in order to keep his secret. And then, Vicki VanCleef is assigned to him as a junior agent, in order to keep an eye on the bad boy, and try to keep him out of further trouble. She catches his attention right way, when she sneaks his racing bike away from him, in order to keep him from breaking his car racing contract. But that's just the beginning. These two--from opposite sides of the track--and with totally different aims in life, strike monumental sparks off each other, nearly setting the surrounding areas on fire in the process. Over the course of one NASCAR season, they learn from and about the other, as well as the meaning of some of life's simpler pleasures. The very happy ending is a bit unexpected, but the getting there is well worthwhile. Hang in, and you should be happy that you did.

good book

Shipping is fast. Another good book in her series. I would recommend this book.

You don't have to be a NASCAR fan to LOVE these books!

I am not a NASCAR fan but I have found that I love this genre and this author. In this latest book it's the story of Vicki a sports agent and Brandon a hot headed race car driver. She finds Brandon very sexy which makes her job as his domineering sports agent more difficult. Brandon has never met women that he couldn't charm but Vicki puts up a good fight and tends to tell him what he needs to hear. This book like more so the genre is G-rated but is a fun read - which I always pick up. I would also suggest; Dangerous Curves,In The Groove (Hqn Romance), On The Edge (Hqn Romance) (Hqn Romance), To The Limit (Nascar Library Collection) , Total Control (Harlequin Nascar Series).

Another sweet NASCAR story

I enjoyed the story of Vicki and Brandon. I liked it so much better than the last book in the series. I look forward to reading more of Britton's NASCAR books.

terrific NASCAR romance

SSI sports agent Vicki VanCleef believes her current assignment is impossible. Knight Enterprises Motorsports hired SSI to watch over NASCAR driver Brandon Burke, whose reputation as an out of control bad boy was affirmed at the Indy last year when on the last lap, with him 20 laps behind the leader, he caused the car in front to crash. Her amoral boss assigned her the task of baby sitting this wild Neanderthal. In violation of his contract, Brandon plans to ride in a drag bike race. Unable to reason with him or to get him to adhere to his contract, Vicki arranges for his bike to be taken. Brandon threatens to arrest her, but she warns him the bad PR would destroy his already shaky career. She finally gives up and tells him his bike is in the bathroom and leaves. Her boss is ecstatic with her work and assigns her to Brandon exclusively. As the driver and his agent get acquainted over arguments and kisses they fall in love. However, he hides a dark family secret he refuses to tell anyone because he believes if it is revealed it would bury his racing career permanently and end his chances with his beloved Vicki, who sees beneath the nonchalant exterior. This is a terrific NASCAR romance starring a fascinating bad boy and the woman who drives him to distraction. The story line is faster than a spin around the oval as Vicki and Brandon fight and kiss and fight. The return of stars from previous tales (see ON THE EDGE) adds to the racing venue, but it is the warm contemporary romance that steers this fine tale. Harriet Klausner
