From the outside, Molly West had everything, beauty, brains, and a career she'd retired from not once, but twice. Being in the limelight and in a sport that was male driven, she was often surrounded by men. She ignored first the boys, and as she got older, the men. Her cold shoulder and patented not a chance in hell look were usually enough to get her point across. Molly had no plans in changing what was a perfectly good system.
That is until she walked into the pits. Carter Sterling had traveled the racing circuit since he was a boy. He'd heard all the old standbys, She's out there somewhere, love comes along when you least expect it. Good things come to those that... Yeah, he'd heard them all. The last place he expected to meet the love of his life was on a pro track. All she did was smile, and he knew, looking into her sapphire blue eyes, Molly West was his. Forever.
If it was only that easy. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he had a gripping feeling in him. An overwhelming need to protect her-a girl he'd just met. Carter had learned a long time ago that gut feelings are almost never wrong. Molly now held his heart in her hands, but it was going to take a lot more than just love to protect her from the past she thought she'd buried a long time ago.
My Review:
Can I just say, that this kind of love, it doesn't sound real? The adult version of insta-love, and while it's pretty well written, just the idea of it, kinda put me off a bit. Other then that, I enjoyed the book quite a bit.
So the reason why Molly is like she is, well, it's not fun for her at all. Who would like acting like that, when it's not their nature, that they've changed their-self for their-self. And that past, well, it has a pretty big impact on her present and her future!
Carter was a bit pushy, and insistent in the beginning of their relationship, which was a bit of a minus, but Molly was the one that was receiving that attention, so if it was cool with her, well, yeah. I liked where their relationship went!
I really enjoyed how the elements came together, the threat to Molly-and by extension, Carter-and then the humour, like how Molly and her brother were like together! And the romance, of course! This is a series, so I hope we see these two in future books!
Really enjoyed this book a ton, really entertaining!
