No Holding Back-Liz Allison & Wendy Etherington

No Holding Back
Liz Allison & Wendy Etherington
Harlequin HQN, Nov 207, $6.99
ISBN: 9780373772636

Racing car driver Cade Garrison has spent his entire life feeling like an under-achieving loser as he believes that he always failed to reach the bar of excellence set by his racing car family. He especially detests the glowing accolades about hi successful older brother even as he knows deep down inside his gut he also loathes the comparisons to his grandfather and father.

When he meets senior public relations specialist Isabel Turner, they are immediately attracted to one another and spend a glorious night together. However, she works for a rival team and feels it is inappropriate to sleep with the enemy. Besides if caught she would be fired, which would bring shame to her PR family. Cade disagrees as he decides to be himself rather than try to live up to the family expectations for he plans to win the race for her heart.

NO HOLDING BACK is an interesting NASCAR romance in which insight into the racing world from an insider perspective serves as the prime story line. Fans will get inside the heads of a female PR guru, a third generation participant, and several drivers. The romance in some ways takes a back seat to the thrills of the race, as Liz Allison & Wendy Etherington drives readers around the track.
