Almost Famous by Gina Wilkins
Harlequin NASCAR Library
If you like reading connected books you may want to read Hearts Under Caution first, as this book continues where that one ended.
Jake Hinson goes to a friends fishing cabin to recover from his boating accident. Not only did he have physical healing to deal with, but also the guilt that his friend died and he didn't. Being use to constantly moving and staying busy it didn't take long for Jake to be bored. That is until he met his beautiful neighbor and her feisty dog.
Stacy Carter just wanted to be out of the limelight so she headed to her brothers fishing cabin. She planned on staying to herself but somehow her handsome neighbor drew her to him. Best of all he didn’t seem to recognize her from her last incident or from her past.
Both Jake and Stacy hide their true identities as they enjoy each other just as regular people. Can their blossoming relationship survive when Stacy finds out he’s a NASCAR driver who enjoys the media while she is trying to hide from it? Both of these books were really good and I recommend reading them in order to get the full picture.

NASCAR driver, Jake Henson, is recovering from a boating accident that left him injured and his best friend dead. He rents a cabin on the White River in the Ozark National Forest. He just wants time alone. Stacy Carter Is also hiding out. The daughter of a politician, she had a well oublicized incident outside a courthouse. She decides to hide out in the Ozarks until the furor is over.
She and Jake meet and start to fall for each other. Jake enjoys being in the spotlight and Stacy wants to avoid it. They have to work out that issue if they want to be together. Will they? Hey, it's a Harlequin romance!
The story was nothing special except for Oscar, Stacy's Yorkshire Terrier. He's tiny, but has the heart of a big dog. I enjoyed the story much more when he was in it. He should have a series.

Another NASCAR romance - a charmingly-written story of people who meet and fall for each other, not realizing who they really are! Will love triumph over stereotypes of identity? Three guesses...
