SBPRBanner-Racer-BT

Racer, an all-new standalone in the Real Series from New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans is coming September 28th!!!


Racer by Katy Evans

GENRE: Contemporary
THEME: Romance, Sport
RECEIVED: Tour

BLURB:

A bad boy with something to prove.
A woman with a mission.
The race of their lives.
The love of a lifetime.

I don’t think his parents expected him to live up to his name—Racer Tate—but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted.

He's the fastest, fiercest driver around.

Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep...
but his smile sends me to my knees.

The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He's secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss....

This is our last chance to win, and he is our only hope. I'm supposed to watch him—make sure he doesn't get into trouble. But it's an impossible task. And now the one in heart wrenching, toe-curling, soul-crushing trouble is me. Because when your heart belongs to someone, their truths become your own, and their secrets become your salvation...or your curse.

He says he wants me. He says I'm the One. But he also thinks he'll break my heart, one piece at a time until it's gone.

REVIEW:

I still can’t believe were already on book 7 in this series, it’s been a great ride! No pun intended. Anyways I love how all these books have been great as stand alones but also connect, I missed the last two but loved that I could did into Racer and get sucked in without being lost. Now if you all remember Remy from book three, this book focuses on his son and boy did he surpass hi father in many ways!

Racer follows Lana Heyworth who along with her brothers and father own a formula one racing company called HW Racing. Their father being ill, they wanted to give him his dream and boy those children are the best for giving him this. Anywho they need a new racer, Lana heads off to look for someone and literally runs into Racer Tate. (Love the name).

Racer is all about speed and cars, he loves the rush and Lana hopes that he is the one shes looking for. Of course their connection is intense, but being the professional she is she tries to hold all that spark back and focus on her team.

I loved everything about this story, the racing, the romance…ohh the romance. There is something about racer that will just win the readers over. Not just his charm but he’s just "real", as in not perfect, he has insecurities and it just makes him so much more likable.

Overall I loved this story, it was a great addition to the Real series and I actually learned a little about F1 racing, which I knew nothing about. Also if you loved Remy and Brooke, they are of course back and I loved seeing them again.

Excerpt:

I’m still reeling. While people approach him, he cuts a path straight to me, his gaze penetrating and target-like; making me want to bolt.

His lips do that little upward tilt they do that seems so sexy, and for a second, I feel like I’m lightheaded.

I gulp, and then feel mad at myself for acting like some idiot as fucking devil-Racer Tate reaches me, throws himself into a seat next to me, and turns to look at me expectantly with the most gorgeous grin on his face.

I don’t know what to say.

This guy has left me sort of speechless.

“So … ” I say, staring in the distance at his beat-up mustang, then at him.

“So … ” he says too, in his deep voice, his smile a little more wicked than it was two seconds ago. He glances at my mouth.

Oh god.

Why am I licking my lips?

It only made his eyes narrow and darken.

I open my mouth to speak, failing to find words. He smells like sweat and soap and shampoo, and I feel my traitorous nipples push up to my top again. Why do they do that when he’s around?

“This is illegal,” I state.

His voice is husky from exertion, and his eyes glint with laughter. “That’s why it’s fun.”

I look away from his eyes, trying to focus and clear my head. He leans over and peers into my face, his face shadowed by the moonlight and his jaw now carrying a little scruff. “Are we in agreement?” he presses.

“No.” I glare and shake my head, meeting his cocky gaze. “You’re reckless, Racer.”

“So are you, Alana.”

“It’s just … Lana.”

His brows fly up in surprise. “And a bit of a liar too.”

I purse my lips, still glaring as my gaze goes back to his car. Girls are rubbing against it as if it were him, and I find it disgusting. Why are women always acting so slutty around race car drivers and bad boys?

“You crashed your car,” I say flippantly.

“You crashed my car,” he contradicts, amused.

I laugh, then scowl in his direction. “You crashed it more. I can’t believe you were making such a fuss about me crashing into you when it was just a little kiss—”

He leans in to peck my lips—fast but firmly. “That’s a kiss.”

I lose my breath.

My eyes wide.

He eases back, lips smiling as he comes to his feet and stretches his hand out to take me by the elbow and help me to my feet.

“Let’s get out of here.” He starts walking, leading the way.

“And go where?”

“Anywhere I can get my hands on you.”
