On The Edge (Hqn Romance) 
asked by pits on November 2, 2006 2:07 PM
Unknown NASCAR driver Adam Drake has some of the best moves Rebecca Newman has ever seen, both on and off the track.
But she can't afford to feel anything but respect for the new driver she's hired to pilot her race car. With the financial security of her team hanging in the balance and everyone in the series thinking she's nuts, the last thing she needs is lust getting in the way of logic. Too bad Adam has other ideas.
Adam isn't afraid of a challenge, but getting close to his new owner is proving to be a tougher road than some of the superspeedways he's driven. It's going to take a secret weapon--his daughter. Soon his precocious ten-year-old has Rebecca on the run--straight into Adam's arms. But can he convince her to stay with him, and leave behind the ghosts of her past once and for all?

It was good. If you really love racing--gives ya a lot of good detail. And if you are a hopeless romantic--gives ya a good story. I give it a thumbs up. I have enjoyed all of the books. Each one has it's own unique story.

I just don't get it. The first two books were great. Well rounded characters, snappy diologue, all set agianst the fast pace world of NASCAR. As a member of a NASCAR watching family (Go Jimmy Johnson!)and a devoted fan of romance novels, I quickly fell in love with the series, eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Only to be disappointed. I read it in about a day, then sat back and wondered "What just happened?" The heroine was a bit wilty and the hero seemed to jump from one extreme to the other. And where the other books were romance agianst a NASCAR backdrop, this one seemed to be all about NASCAR...oh, and let's not forget to add a story in here somewhere. Although, I'll admit, I cheered when they ganged up on the bad guy's driver (Yeah! Crash!) For me, the most entertaining character was the spunky daughter, who had WAY more guts then I did at that age.
So, disappointing, yes. But I'm not giving up. Two out of three ain't bad, so I'm hanging in for the next installment of this NASCAR series (Yeah! Crash!).

I think this is her best book about Nascar. It's more tightly woven with the characters. I'm not going to write a plot summary because Amazon and a couple reviewers have did that better than I can. However I enjoyed the interaction of the characters. I loved the little girl and how she kept getting involved in everything especially getting her dad a job. You see the two previous couples in the story and find out what they have been doing. I'm really enjoying this series when I didn't think I would. I thought it would be sappy and not have enough about Nascar in it. Instead I've found that the books even have some of the inside politics incidents and the rubbing is racing in them. I would highly recommend this to any Nascar fans. Great book to take to the race and read in the morning before the race starts and RaceDay on Speed begins. Also a great beach book.

On The Edge by Pamela Britton takes us back to the pulse-pounding world of NASCAR.
Ten-year-old Lindsey Drake is a girl on a mission. She bulldozes her way into the offices of Newman Motorsports. All she wants is for the owner Rebecca Newman to give her dad a chance at being a driver for their team.
Rebecca Newman is at her wits end with the financials of her team and the fact that her driver situation stinks. When Lindsey walks in, she figures what has she got to lose. But one look at Adam Drake and Rebecca is afraid she may lose her heart to this man. She has kept men at length since her husband's death a few years ago.
Adam Drake had put his dreams of driving for Nascar on hold to raise his daughter after his wife left them. But when this golden opportunity comes up he would be a fool to say no. Adam would also be a fool if he didn't let Becca into his world.
Becca still has ghosts from her past to overcome. Adam will do everything in his power to let her see he is the man for her.
On The Edge make you feel like you are right there in the pits, on the track and watching these two fall in love. It's a feel good book that is keeper.
