Shawn Hambry grew up on the race track. When her grandfather
dies and leaves the track to her, she finally has everything she wants –
there’s just one stipulation: in order to inherit the race track, she has to be
married. Enter Rhett Ford, Shawn’s best friends’ brother-in-law. He may be
younger than her, but from the moment they met there’s no denying their
chemistry. Drunk and upset, Shawn asks Rhett to marry her and she’ll give him a
hundred grand. Because Rhett see’s something in Shawn that he wants to explore,
he says yes.
I’ve got to say, going into this book I didn’t expect the
marriage. It was a nice little addition to the book and it threw our two MC’s
together in a funny way. Shawn was always in control of her life. She was the
girl in the man’s world. When she invites Rhett in, she not only starts to lose
control, but starts to realize that she likes it. Rhett, on the other hand, was
looking for someone to control in the bedroom and believes that he found that
in Shawn.
I’ve read Erin McCarthy’s work before, but in the New Adult
genre. This was my first adult novel from her and I really enjoyed it. The situations
these two found themselves in were hilarious and filled with witty
conversations. Shawn challenged Rhett, talked back to him, yet filled his
desires in the bedroom. While Rhett was someone who understood Shawn’s career
and drive, he was someone who supported her and encouraged her. Despite their
many differences, they managed to fit.
But since this is a romance novel, there had to be drama.
Enter Shawn’s self-doubt. In succumbing to Rhett’s dominance, she ended up feeling
like she was losing herself. And here is where she started to annoy me. Instead
of talking to him, she froze up. She pushed his buttons, gave into his
dominance and then freaked. She never took the time to think about why she
enjoyed herself and about why Rhett was perfect for her. On the other hand, I
enjoyed Rhett. From the beginning he was nothing but honest about what he
wanted and who he was. Yet at every turn he was questioned by Shawn. His
patience with her was endless and he was the younger one!
Overall, this was a good story. It was funny, endearing, and
had very hot sex scenes (very hot).
