    About this ebook

    Four years ago, race car driver Tracey Bradshaw almost died in a horrific crash. Now scarred inside and out, she's making a comeback, but her team is plagued by a series of "accidents".

    When the team leader dies under mysterious circumstances, former driver Mac Reynolds takes charge. The pair clash as Trace resents his high-handed attempts to control her, while Mac fears Trace's recklessness will get her killed. Neither can throttle back the desire that spins out of control whenever they touch. Trace lets herself be seduced when Mac convinces her he finds her beautiful despite her scars, and she begins to hope for more. But Mac knows he's not nearly good enough for Trace

    Don't miss the sequel, Danger Zone, coming out in February 2012.

      The heroine is a race car driver and that made an interesting job IMO. It wasn't overdone, however, so the main focus remained on the couple and not on the racing world. The development of the couple's relationship was believable, as were their characters.
      There's also a second romance in this book, and this couple gets almost as much screen time, but I didn't mind as I secretly liked that hero better.
      Finally, this has a suspense plot, and although it wasn't hard to figure out who the bad guy was, it was well done.
      All in all an enjoyable read.

      At the photo-finish, I would give this 4.5 out of five stars. Despite my personal loathing for the world of auto-racing, Dangerous Race wrapped me up in it. Adams made me smell the ethanol and *like* it. I believed in the lead character, Trace, and her bumpy romance with her new crew chief. My only issue was I thought the villain was too obvious, and there should have been more politicking behind the scenes re: his personal goals. A pit crew is big - we should have seen more of the others being manipulated and taking sides, perhaps being used as unwitting stooges. The secondary romance also almost lapped the first, in terms of page time and appeal. However, the romance and sex scenes were deliciously steamy, there was enough humor without spoiling the tension, and the "feel" was right. I am looking forward to more by this author.

      Erika’s ReviewGrade CDangerous Race had all the makings of a wicked novel. Fast Cars, Interesting premise, but it fell flat for me.The main hero and heroine, Mac and Trace just never clicked for me. Some of it had to do with their respective ages and maturity levels, Trace being a hot-shot 23 year old Race Driver and Mac being a 35 year old Former race car driver who has been living abroad for the past ten years. They just didn’t mesh well.The other thing that Bothered me, and this is something that doesn’t bother most readers, is that there are TWO story lines and ‘romances’ in this novel. The secondary romance between Chelsea and Matthew overtook Mac and Trace. Their connection was better, their dialogue was better and they had better chemistry. However, I didn’t like the “why” of Chelsea, and I thought her and Matthew was a little weird with the whole (view spoiler) But again, it’s a personal thing.The whole Suspense aspect of Dangerous Race was done well, and was compelling. The Villain what a freaking nut job.I liked Trace’s attitude, her iron will and her drive to succeed. I loved her outlook on life, and how she wanted to start a racing school. She was so strong, but yet so vulnerable, and it’s an attractive quality I look for in a novel heroine. She had a scorpion tongue and was quick to fire first in order to protect her heart. In short, she had very real flaws and insecurities. She felt like a lesser woman due to her deformities from her car crash at 19.Mac has demons of his own, and I thought they were kind of…I thought he should have been able to move past what happened to him so long ago, but he hadn’t. I thought what he did at the awards ceremony was assholish, and quite frankly I was mad at him for the aftermath. Both Mac and Tracey were using and seducing each other, and I really didn’t like how things turned out between them {At this point}However, I LOVED how Mac made Trace feel beautiful and I love how he took the time to allay her fears and earn her trust back. He was very attentive to her, and didn’t hold back.I would have liked to have seen more of Ed Senior and her crew. These people played an important role in her life, and in her racing career, and we only saw Matthew and Eddie. Who were the rest? What do they do? Since Ed Sr was like father to her, I felt he should have been around more. Just my opinion.Overall, I liked the novel, but It’s not something I would re-read.Grade: C
