Ladies...are you ready? Revvv up your engines because Katy Evans is going full throttle as she delivers one of the most sexiest, sincere, heartfelt, and intoxicating romance this fall. First she gave us Remy Tate and now she has bestowed us with Remy and Brooke’s son, Racer Tate who in my book, is a force to be reckoned with.
I want this girl beneath me and that’s that. I’m Racer Tate and this girl is mine.”Swoon!!! Seriously, I can’t stop smiling after devouring this book in one sitting. How could I not when Katy brought forth a romance that was so simple and well executed. Every element of raw emotions, heat, passion and heart was coursing through this book and Racer Tate played a big driving force in reminding readers that when you know something feels right, you just know it's real. There was no ifs, ands, or buts about it when it comes to real love. And for Racer Tate, he knew what he wanted and it was Lana Heyworth. His prize. His life. His heart. His crasher.
Lana Heyworth only loves and cherishes two things in life. Her family, which consist of her dad and three older brothers and the chance to bring back glory in her father’s Formula One racing team. With no team driver, it is up to Lana to find one fast so they can qualify.
When Lana goes to the raceway to find a driver, she meets or in this case crashes into Racer Tate. Right away, Racer makes his presence felt and known. With sexual attraction in the air, Racer tells Lana that he is the only best driver.
My whole life I’ve guarded against addictions. Driving was my one addiction. Never smoked, don’t drink except socially, eat right, but you, Lana. You’re an addiction I can’t say no to. Don’t want to say no to. If I don’t have you beneath me now I’m going implode on myself.”
Racer is a known street car racer. This sport is very dangerous and the thrills gives Racer a high. He loves the adrenaline push and excitement and most importantly, he wants Lana. So when Lana witnesses Racer’s skills, she hires him immediately for her racing team.
I want to lick you up head to toe until I’ve tasted every inch of you, and then I want to do it again.”Since Racer wants Lana badly, he agrees to be their Formula 1 driver. It didn’t take long for Racer to prove to himself he is the best since each race he begins to take rank on the podium but the only spot that Racer wants to be in is number one in Lana's heart.
Lana is a little hesitant in pursuing a relationship with Racer since she is somewhat his boss and it would ruin the team dynamic. And also, she is afraid to give her heart to Racer. Since Racer is the son of Remy Tate, we all know that he won’t stop in claiming what he wants. And he wants Lana to be his.
I want to make a bible out of his body, an encyclopedia out of his muscles and bones, every detail registered, examined, and stored away for me to enjoy and relive, over and over. I want to do what we did last night again and again and again.”
Like father like son, Racer shows Lana that he is somewhat a patient man. Soon, Racer was able to crack Lana's guarded walls and show her that this connection between them is real. It ain’t a fading moment. A passing. Or a hookup. Racer Tate shows Lana Heyworth what it means to be worshiped, treasured, desired and most importantly, loved. As Lana surrenders her heart to Racer, what happens when she discovers his secret? Will his secret affect his relationship with Lana and ruin his chance at winning the Formula One?
Racer was a gem of a read. I loved every moment of this book. It was fast paced, sexy, heartfelt, tender, and very raw. I love the brutal honesty of this book as Racer showed Lana, the real Racer Tate. So if you are looking for a romance that will drive straight to your heart and leave you swooning then I highly recommend you to read this book. Once again, Katy Evans reminds us all that love is real. It’s addicting. It’s a never ending race track. Finding real love is the finish line.
