Full Throttle

by Wendy Etherington

What happened to car chief Lexie Mercer's star driver?

Kane Jackson "used" to be an untamed force. A winner. Now he's calm, composed—and apathetic. She can't even pick a fight with him anymore What's worse, his lackluster mood is affecting his racing.

Then Kane does the unthinkable. He kisses Lexie, giving in to months of pent-up desire. How could this happen? Lexie is bossy, brainy...and exactly the woman to ignite his lost passion for winning.

But Lexie knows Kane's "got" to stay focused on racing, despite his insistence that one night together will get her out of his system...and into Victory Lane.

It won't work. It can't work. Can it?

Full Throttle by Wendy Etherington
Harlequin NASCAR Series Library
Lexie Mercer broke up with her boyfriend twelve years ago after realizing she would always be second in his life, racing would always be first. Now she’s not only a car chief working along side her dad who is crew chief, but she’s working for that ex-boyfriend. And he’s wanting to rekindle the flame from their earlier years.

Kane Jackson never felt like he measured up. He hadn’t been good enough for Lexie all those years ago and he could never get close to pleasing his father. His very famous father who is still as popular now as he was when he played football.

Kane’s team is depending on him for a win or they may all lose their jobs. Either they got in the chase or jobs would be lost. Now is not the best time for his mind to be off track. Another exciting story in the racing world with fast moves on and off the track.

Kane Jackson, the untamed winner, is now calm, composed-- and, his lackluster mood is affecting his racing. When Kane does the unthinkable and kisses Lexie, it gives in to months of pent-up desire. Lexie is bossy, brainy... and exactly the woman to ignite his lost passion for winning. But they work together. Her dad, his boss, and his dad, an ex football jock, both are on his back, to stay away from her. But its all he thinks about. Distracting.. blinding..
debilitating him. 4.5 star

Eh, this was not one of the better ones from the 5 NASCAR books I read. Way way too much internal dialog. Don't really recommend it.

It's an easy no brainer kind of read, great for a vacation or a lazy day. The book pretty much follows the typical "formula" of romance novels.
