Berkleigh wants to participate in the family business. Kye is a race car driver with a bad boy reputation. This story is a great representation of a woman trying to put a dent into a place where men rule. It also came out at the perfect time if you are NASCAR fan. I grew up in a family that would religiously watch the races so this gave me more of an indication on how a woman could fit into their world.
Our author does a great job at showing the passage of time without going into any great detail. The good thing is that you won’t feel as if you have missed anything. She gives the reader a couple that seem to have an instant connection. They happen to meet at a point where Berkleigh is having an issue with a very minor character. If you are someone who has an issue with triggers, that might be something to be mindful of.
One thing I liked was the fact that most of this story is from Berkleigh’s point of view. Kye has a voice as well but he takes something of a backseat as far as giving his thoughts on things. The author does a great job of immersing her readers into the racing world. Either she is a big fan or has done a lot of research to have everything seem so accurate - I can almost see and hear the cars going around the track now. Usually the only thing we see of the pit crew is when the racer comes into the pits. This story gives us a little more.
Ms. Mayhew did leave me hanging. Since we have families in the business, are we going to see said Shaw family members at some point? If so, the ending doesn’t give any of that away. I guess patience has become part of my future.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
