Book Review: Love, In the Fast Lane by Rie Warren

Rating:

love in the fast laneRaising the ante on “Love: In the Fast Lane ”, author Rie Warren wrote a comedy-drama that tugs at your heartstrings as you see grown macho men become comfortable with their emotions.

Book #2 in the “Carolina Bad Boys” series, “Love: In the Fast Lane ” follows Nicky Love, a paranormal erotica author and Catarina “Wildcat” Steele, an all buttoned-up ice maiden who unsurprisingly is as hot as volcano when provoked.

Two unlikely lovers at first glance, but the chemistry between Nicky and Catarina is just too strong to ignore. What began as a no-strings attached hook-up developed into an emotionally charged relationship as Nicky and Cat slowly share their secrets with each other.

But, sharing secrets is just half the battle. Dealing with all their emotional baggage is turning out to be an unwinnable war between Nicky and Cat. The question is, can they get over these challenges so that they can reach their happily ever after?

Love: In the Fast Lane ” begins where “Stone: At Your Service”, (Book #1) left off. Hence, for those of you who read the first book, you can catch up with Josh and Leelee.

But, if you have not read “Stone: At Your Service”, don’t worry. “Love: In the Fast Lane ” is a standalone novel and can be enjoyed as is. I have to tell you this though. You will love the characters so much that you will actually feel compelled to read Book #1 after reading this second installment.

A steamy read that is full of drama but also filled with lots of laugh out loud funny moment. “Love: In the Fast Lane ” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content.

DESCRIPTION:

New York Times bestselling paranormal author, Nicky—Nick—Love is anything but successful in love. For years he’s lost himself in his writing career, but now he’s ready to get back to his rebel-boy roots. While restoring a motorcycle at Stone’s Auto Service, he meets the Wildcat of his dreams. She’s a shock to the system for the romance writer who doesn’t remember a damn thing about wooing a woman.

Cool-as-ice, Catarina “Wildcat” Steele is utterly untouchable until Nicky ignites a spark she can’t control. Their electric attraction explodes as Nicky pursues her, but he comes bearing the baggage of a family tragedy he’s hidden from everyone. He knows love has no guarantees.

Their passionate romance falls apart when Nicky discovers Cat’s secret rivals his own. The truth about her past reopens Nicky’s raw wounds and awakens a ghost he never laid to rest. He doesn’t know how to have Cat, and now he can’t trust her. Will they be torn apart . . . or tamed by love?
