I didn't get this one at all. The entire book revolves around the conflict the H and h have over his dangerous career as a race car driver. The conflict is resolved almost on the last page by the H giving up his career because of h' s pregnancy.
Uh, what? The entire time, H was unable to give up his passion for race car driving, even though it caused not one, but two separations with his wife, whom he proclaimed as the love of his life. So much was repeatedly hammered into the reader's brain that this was not a mere job to him, not even a passion, but an almost divinely inspired calling. He was basically the Michelangelo of NASCAR and asking him to give it up because the h was worried he would get killed would be like asking him to die by a thousand cuts instead.
But as soon as he heard about the baby, it was the easiest thing to retire and run a gourmet restaurant? I must admit, I was dumbfounded. It was a cop-out and very unromantic. I wanted to see the characters come to a compromise for the sake of each other, not for their baby. What was the point of all the agony, then? If she has gotten pregnant the first year, then none of this would have happened? I feel robbed, because it was actually a well-written, pretty enthralling read, with a lot of in-depth characterization , until the artificial conclusion.
A cute B-plot about an endangered, domesticated timber wolf named Sir Galahad made this story a little more memorable than the average romance.
