Let's Talk About Julie Garwood discussion

Fast Track, by Julie Garwood

A corrupt congressman, a mother’s secrets, and a sizzling romance ignite passion and suspense in the new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

Cordelia Kane has always been a daddy’s girl—her father raised her alone after her mother died in a car crash when Cordelia was just two years old. So when he has a serious heart attack, Cordelia is devastated, and the emotion is only intensified by the confusion she feels when he reveals the shocking truth about her mother.

Cordelia can’t suppress her curiosity about the woman who gave birth to her, and when she discovers the answers to her questions lie in Sydney, Australia, she travels there to get them.

Hotel magnate Aiden Madison is Cordelia’s best friend’s older brother. He’s oblivious to the fact that she’s had a crush on him for years. When he gets railroaded into taking her along to Sydney on his company jet, he unknowingly puts her life at risk. He’s recently angered a powerful congressman by refusing to purchase overvalued land. Congressman Chambers is not a man to let such an offense slide, and he has the resources to get even and to get what he wants.

In Australia sparks are flying between Cordelia and Aiden, but multiple attempts on Aiden’s life are made while Cordelia is with him, and he realizes he must put a stop to the madness before he loses the thing he values most.

I'm in, even though I have already read it. hehe

I may even check it out again. Maybe I should just get the Kindle version and use the X-Ray section so I can just read the Aiden sections... Oh, I've got it so bad.

The only other character that's ever done this to me is J.D. Robb's Roarke.

**chuckles**

Audible has it abridged and unabridged with difference of 4 HOURS!!! Which 4 hours would you take out???

Whoa. 8 hrs and 9 mins down to 3 hrs and 59 mins. That's a lot. More than 50%.

Yeah, I never liked abridged editions... but when you cut out 50% isn't more like reading the Cliffs Notes?

LOL! True.

I think it is interesting that the covers for the HC and the PB give off different tones. At least IMHO.

Yeah, I really don't like the one on the right. But then to me the book is all about Aiden!

It's like when you compare the different covers for In Death books. Some just send out the wrong impression:


Butterfly? Really??

LMBO! Great illustration, Kirsten.

Okay. I picked the CD of this up at the library the other day. I just need to copy it to my iPod/Touch, then I'm ready to rock 'n' roll.

I really need to get the audio and see if it's even better...

Tanya Eby narrates; I like her.

Hi guys

Sorry I haven't been around the group lately.
I've suffered from MS and even though I was still reading I wasn't up to much else.

And sorry I'm not going to join this month group read as I have a few ARCs to go through.

Oh, my heart goes out to you, Jewel. My cousin has that. We'll miss you, but great that you have some ARCs.

Thank you so much Lisa Kay,

It has gotten better now that I'm further along with the pregnancy.

Quite all right! I understand. When my back was hurting I didn't want to do anything. I watched more TV than I usually do. I just felt blah and didn't want to do much.

★★★½✩ (This is a review of the audiobook.) I unusually enjoy Tanya Eby's narration, but man-oh-man, she can't do Australian accents.

I didn't quite understand the heroine, either. She didn't think the hero loved her; but to me, he was showing her in all ways that he did. Of course, I've read reviews were some felt he was cold and distant. **shrugs** Go figure.

sorry if i hav

I think Aiden is Julie Garwood's best contemporary hero. He is the closest thing to JD Robb's Roarke I've ever come across. Sexy and all alpha male. I thought about him for weeks after reading Fast Track.

You know, I'm the opposite. When I don't feel good, I always end up listening to In Death books. I suffer from migraines and sinus headaches, so I go through quite a few! LOL!

Yes, I liked Aiden a lot more than I was expecting from the reviews I had read.

okay now i can read this...

Me too. How bout both? ☺

Hmmm, I don't think it matters. I'd love em both!

I just love Aiden. He's one of the sexiest alpha leading men out there. (Right after JD Robb's Roarke. Yum!)
