They were portrayed more like co-workers. Carr, as the driver, could have easily have her fired. The boss/employee dynamic wasn’t there and I felt like it should be. I say for the most part because he is portrayed as constantly flirting with her. There are attempts to make Carr sympathetic such as being good to fans and for the most part being decent to Andi. Carr doesn’t understand this because…I guess he’s a manboy? The first night that Andi goes out with the crew, Carr sleeps with one of the front of the house girls in a threesome and the girl is then fired because if you sleep with Carr while employed by his crew, you’re fired. Andi feels an immediate and helpless attraction toward him. The minute that Andi arrives, he stares at her breasts and starts making come ons. First, the mechanic that Andi replaced left because Carr was screwing around with his wife. Carrick is a slut and therein lies my problem with the romance. (As Andi notes, that’s not very original). After one of the mechanics leaves the crew, Andi gets a job.Įnter Carrick Ryan aka Carr. Her godfather and family friend, John, heads up the crew of one of the current greatest drivers in the world. After her father dies, she and her mother move back to Brazil where she grows up.Īndi never loses her love for fast cars and pursues a mechanical engineering degree and begins to work as a mechanic on a race car crew. The heroine, Andi, is a mechanic who lost her race car driver father in a horrific on track accident. I knew when I saw this book searching for new releases that I would buy it because most of the Towle books I’ve read in the past, I enjoyed (particularly The Mighty Storm).
