A Love Story at 190 mph

review 1: So, I'm sort of a closet NASCAR fan. I love my tatted up rockers and my bad boys of romance, but there is something about a man that drives a fast car too! This wasn't as much of a racing story as it was a great love story. The best part of the racing scene that was highlighted were the parts women would appreciate, like those catty driver's wives/girlfriends.I was so blown away with the depth of this love and storyline. Just a wonderful book. I'm an official fan of Montague and will buy every last thing she writes, period.
review 2: I have to start by saying I really liked Kimberly Montague's Accidental Texting. I believe Racing Outside the Lines was her first book but I recommend you don't start with it. I picked it up because I liked Accidental Texting so mu... morech and I only finished it out of sheer stubbornness. I found it immature, overwrought, filled with unsafe sex and, oddly, filled with the kind of sex scenes you see on tv - all build up and then the good stuff happens off camera. Finally, the editing was so-so. Part of what bothered me about this story is that Lexie (h) equated sex with love in their first encounter and she's still doing it despite very mixed messages from Seth (H). Since the rekindling of their relationship happens while he's still engaged, I found her attachment odd - and the lack of references to his fiancee troubling. I'm the first person to admit that romance novels are escapist and inherently unrealistic (in most, not all, cases) but wouldn't a sane woman be more hesitant? It's as if Ms. Montague pulls out the fiancee card when she remembers it instead of weaving it in throughout the story. I liked the idea of the plot and liked some of the characters but felt the execution could use some refining and editing. less
