A Taste for Speed

Loved this story. It's a tiny bit different, because its not quite so submerged in the world of NASCAR, more like on the fringes, but I loved the characters, Steve Clayton and Sarah Stanton, and the storyline moved along. The wine-making industry of Sonoma was a key feature, and was a real nice backdrop to the story. A nice older hero that was very likable, a smart and sexy heroine who knew where she was going, but also wasn't so strong-minded to be overly willful. She sees it like it is, and doesn't get caught up in complex character traps. I was intrigued by the hero, and wondered at the use of his public image as a shield, so it seemed. It was a pretty good setup for a character's social versus personal mechanisms of behavior, if that makes sense. Their romantic chemistry was good. Secondary characters will later develop into their own stories. Should be good.
