3.5 stars

It's an old book, and it shows, but it's actually one of the better books of her very oldest ones. There's some nice characterization with Foxy and her brother--his dedication to racing, her dedication to him, despite the terror his racing induced in her. Lance is a nice guy, but a pretty typical paternalistic hero of the genre at that time. I didn't get what the rush was for them to get married--Lance does at least try to explain near the very end. But Lance's mother was a 2-dimensional motivationless stock character. Add to that the near-rape Lance used to shut Foxy up in an argument, and the fact that I cringed every time I read her name (WTF was Nora thinking? FOXY? I've gotta say, I actually agreed with Lance's mother when she first heard the name. It sounds like a name for a sleazy stripper in a cheap strip joint in 1975.)

I don't even like racing!

This is a classic Nora Roberts book- and I loved it! The story focuses around car racing- which holds absolutely NO interest for me, yet I couldn't put this book down. That says a lot about the lure of the romance.Foxy grew up on the racing circuit, her brother is now a big racing star, and she returns to be the photographer for a story on him. She meets up with the man she once had a girlhood crush on- the financer of her brother's car, and his best friend. They discover a mutual attraction but they rub each other the wrong way.This book is sweet and I love that although the characters are beautiful and brilliant they also have flaws. I recommend picking this book up!
