BLURB:

 

She trusts animals more than men. He runs through women like tires. Will an orphaned child force them to change gears?

With her sister’s death, Nora’s life changed in an instant. Forced to raise her orphaned nephew, the animal rescuer doesn’t expect to be dumped and fired by her kid-hating boyfriend/boss. After her own close call and a message from beyond, Nora introduces the little boy to his handsome, fast-living absentee father.

Davey Johnson is a hot-shot NASCAR driver who never wanted to be slowed down by fatherhood. But when he finds out he has a nine-year-old son, he vows to be a better father than his old man. When his first efforts fail in a big way, he enlists Nora’s parenting help. But what starts as a chore transforms into something way hotter than a final lap.

When Davey’s sponsors clash with Nora’s vegan ways, he’s forced to choose between his passion for racing and his love of Nora. Will they be able to blend their lives or will their romance run right off the track?

EXCERPT

He let out another low, sexy laugh. “Let’s see, where should I begin? You’re an amazing mother-figure to Ben. You’re kind and nurturing. You love animals and they love you.” She shifted on his lap, a little uncomfortable but at the same time completely flattered by his words. “Dogs are a great judge of character and Daisy adores you. You’re honest, fun, and you have a great sense of humor. But what I like best of all,” he said, gazing into her eyes, “is that you’re real.” He gave her a slow grin. “All that and you’re smokin’ hot too.”

 

Too stunned to speak, she gaped at him. He framed his hands around her face, leaned in, and brushed his lips over hers. Then he kissed her slowly, taking her on a soft, tender journey that reinforced every word he had just spoken. When he drew back, her insides were soft and gooey, her breasts were aching, and she was hot and moist between her legs.

 

“Tell me what you want, Nora,” he said. “If you don’t want this, say the word.”

 

Oh, she wanted it, and she wanted it bad. But only the sex part. She was in no way willing to get involved in a relationship. She didn’t want Ben to get hurt, and she didn’t want to get hurt, either. She wasn’t sure what Davey wanted, but she assumed he only wanted sex too. Just in case, she decided to spell it out. “I want this,” she said. “I want you. But just for one night. That’s all I can give.”

 

His eyes flashed disbelief, then resignation. “I’ll take it,” he said, rising with her in his arms. He carried her down the hall and into the bedroom.

My Review

5 stars

 

 

Nora has had a tough life. Growing up without her father and a mother who wasn't attentive has made her reluctant to trust. Her sister Lynn was just as messed up as her. Addicted to alcohol and drugs she passes away to leaving her son Ben in her Nora's care. Nora loves her nephew and vows to do everything to make his life great. Down on her luck, her Pap mysteriously appears pushing her into the right direction where she soon discovers race car driver Davey is Ben's father. These two soon learn how to deal with one another co-parenting and then deal with their feelings that they both have developed.
I really enjoyed this story. I felt so sorry for Nora, having such a tough life and not catching a break when all she wants to do is good things. The story was unique with Nora's special abilities as an animal empath. Then there is Ben, he is a sweet kid full of enthusiasm, despite his tough he lead with his mother. Add in Davey, the cocky race car star and how Nora tamed his ways made for one interesting story. Even Cruz & Steph were great supporting characters and I'm so glad they also got a HEA. I look forward to AJ's & Ella's story!
