great bok

If your a sucker for romance books and a fan of Nascar then ya gotta read this book. Pamela Britton is one of the best.

Surprisingly Good

I must admit that, other than blaze, I'm not a fan of Harlequin books or Nascar for that matter. Now Britton (author) has me singing a different tune. This was a surprisingly good read. Nascar and the romance take second fiddle to the touching story about a very sick little boy and the Miracles foundation (similar to Make-A-Wish). Normally I like my romance books to contain a lot more romance, but I didn't mind it as much here. Todd Peter's is your typical racing bad boy and he's gotten into hot water with Miracles worker Indi Wilcox. He has unknowingly let down one of his (littlest) biggest fan. Indi's steaming mad and out to give him a piece of her mind. You can basically guess where the story is going from here. Todd sees the boy and his heart melts. He does everything possible to lift his spirits, including flying him to races, taking him out, finding the top doctors to treat him etc. What you get here is a highly captivating emotional story. Its so much more than romance. Britton explores her characters fears, hopes and regrets with a deft hand. Anyone whose family has been touched by a life threatening illness or disease will appreciate a book like this. You get the good with the bad. While in real life there isn't always a happy ending, there is always hope. Thats what you get here. So even though its romance-lite I recommend this book. It makes you sit back and count your blessings.

superb NASCAR romance

When NASCAR renowned bad boy Todd Peters fails to meet his commitment that he made with Miracles, formerly known as the Wishing Tree Foundation; Indi Wilcox is outraged. She and the other workers at Miracles try to grant the wish of seriously ill children so to have some hot shot disappoint Benjamin Koch is contemptible. Angry, Indi plans to confront the mean spirited Todd to fulfill his promise. Todd surprises Indi by doing just that and much more as he continues to visit the child. He also tries to persuade Indi to go out with him, but she went around the track with one of his peers so she refuses to date a driver. He pressures her TO THE LIMIT to take a chance on riding with him through the DANGEROUS CURVES of a relationship. Pamela Britton's latest NASCAR romance (see ON THE EDGE) is an exciting tale that combines a strong racing drama with the powerful vast emotions of a person watching the suffering of a loved one from cancer. The story line moves around the track smoothly, but also poignantly with Indi's efforts to grant a wish for the ailing little Ben. Fans will lose control with this superb affecting contemporary.

WOW

Total Control starts off with a bang and you can't put it down until the last page. Pamela Britton has out done herself once again. You will fall inlove with the characters right along with the story line. For the ladies that don't like Nascar give this book a chance. You won't regret it!

More than just NASCAR

While Pamela Britton always writes a great NASCAR book this one went way beyond that. This book had a life lesson for all of us and a reminder of how lucky we are everyday. This book made me laugh, and cry, and smile and then I did it all over again. NASCAR fans will enjoy her insight into the track and the busy life of professional drivers. But you don't have to be a NASCAR fan to enjoy this book. Pick up and you'll see what I mean.
