Thrill ride

Racy, engaging and at times taut with muscular intensity, "Thrill of the Chase" is a well-crafted tale of intrigue, romance and personal discovery imbued with the heat and horsepower of drag racing. It will keep you hooked all the way through the last page.

interesting contemporary romance

Sarah Matell grew up on racing car fumes as her father owns an automotive speed shop. She is talented in turning a wrench and in defeating males at the track. However, her professional success also causes her personal failure. She has loved dragster Craig Keller seemingly forever, but he rejects her as he only goes out with feminine beauties who are fast to his bed not the oval. Her father hires a business suit Gordon Devine to run the shop; upsetting Sarah. He believes she is a spoiled brat while she thinks he is a know it all upstart. Shockingly they both match each other for obstinacy and he knows his way under the hood. As they begin to fall in love, Craig takes a second look at the woman he rejected, forming a relationship triangle that is at odds with the oval. THRILL OF THE CHASE is an interesting contemporary romance that uses drag racing to refreshen the classic triangle story line. Readers will appreciate the unique heroine who beats the men at the track, but struggles with connecting with them off the track until the two men in her life become rivals for her affection. Who gets the checkered flag requires reading a fine character driven tale. Harriet Klausner
