Secure Hard And Fast (Fast Track, #2) Narrated By Erin McCarthy Accessible In Copy
miss than hit.
I'm torn betweenandstars, To tell you the truth, I partially liked this book but didn't love it, The first half was ok but dragged on a bit, There was not much happening and nothing particularly brilliant or memorable in this half, However, the second half got much better, Around midway through this half, I really thought this book would definitely getfrom me, Damn, was I wrong! The lastof the story was a train wreck, Both Ty and Imogen mostly Imogen made me extremely frustrated! Urgh, Id never expected this kind of drama, It was awful and stupid! It totally ruined many good things that I liked and really enjoyed about this story,
I have to tell you that this book wasnt up to par in comparison with this authors other works Ive already read.
I didnt enjoy the story as much as I expected, There was no mindblowing moment, not enough crack humor, and most of all, no chemistry between Ty and Imogen! None, Nil. Naught. Zero.
For me, the lack of chemistry between the main couple is bad, but its even worse when it feels forced, especially throughout the whole story.
And the sad thing is that the abovementioned problem just happened in this book It was very disappointing, I still dont understand why he felt so attracted to her, Well, I have no idea, really,
Nevertheless, since there was no pushing away, no love/trust issues here, plus Ty was also amazing except near the end when he acted childishly and endearing, I think Im going withinstead of.
I upped the on the reread, . . loved their walk in the woods and lovin' up against the tree, . . been there, done that!
Ty and Imogen were great together, I really loved their chemistry and their banter, The smexing was steamy and I loved Ty's dominant tendancies,
Imogen is a character that has lingered with him, I often forget the heroine's names in books perhaps inserting myself instead of them but I found her hilarious and her lack of "game" was just too funny in the NASCAR world of "playa's".
Ty earned her love through his charm and romance, but he fought to get her love back with his honesty and perseverance.
Great read! I loved this book, Ty was a very sexy, wonderful and realistic hero, I loved his names for Imogen Emma Jean, Engine, I really liked Imogen as well, as I could relate to some parts of her personality, I thought they were wonderful together, I loved the idea of the smart, shy, scholarly New York city girl with the manly North Carolinan race car driver.
The love scenes were very hot! I enjoyed every second of reading this story and loved the romance so this is a five star for me! stars I loved Ty, he was such a sweetheart and I loved that he called Imogen “Emma Jean” and “Engine”, it was so cute.
Although I like awkward and quiet heroines Imogen was a bit too insensitive for me, especially near the end, Despite my issues with Imogen I enjoyed the romance, the sexy times were scorching and a lot of fun, but I must say the love declarations and marriage proposal was way too sudden, even for me.
I didnt love this one as much as the first one, but it was still a very sexy and entertaining read, I suspected this book was all about instalust and a throbbin' man ham, so I was pleased to find that there was a storyline involved too.
A pretty good storyline even though there was no suspense, mystery, or romantic subplots,
Some of the things that popped out of Imogen's mouth didn't sound believable and the whole gist of her doctorate "thesis" dissertationwas kind of dumb.
I liked how Ty was willing to do anything and everything to win her, including dealing with his dyslexia and learning to read.
But like a few others, I had no problem putting the book down and picking it up later, It was pretty good, but I wasn't super involved in the story, It just wasn't a keeper for me,
Here are the topthings I learned from the book:
, Hiking will make you horny
, Camping will make you horny
, Fishing can lead to the big "O" won't my hubby be happy to hear that one
, Race car drivers like to quote Shakespeare
, It is possible to have sex with skinny jeans shoved to your knee caps so long as you are leaning up against a tree or in the backseat of a car
.
stars. Sexy, fun and great writing just
what I love about an Erin McCarthy book, This is an opposites attracks book, a favorite theme for me, The chemistry between Ty and Imogen was fun, and you never doubt for a moment why they want to be with each other despite their differences.
Cant wait for the next in the series, Hope it is Ryder and Suzanne's story! This is your typical smart girl falls in love with the unattainable hot shot athlete,
Ty McCordle was introduced to us in 'Flat Out Sexy', He came across as a laid back, ladies man, but in this book becomes more muchdimensional, Ty is dyslexic and never learned how to read,
The romance between Imogen and Ty was very sweet, I found myself frustrated by Imogen and her lack of being able to be discreet, but that is part of her charm, Ty's insecurity was examined and I found it heartbreaking, but I also found him extremely courageous, He was the best part of this book,
I recommend this series, The next book up is Suzanne and Ryder's, Suzanne is my favorite character of this series, Her sense of humor is priceless, and I am counting the days until their story arrives in the mail! si digo que Ty es fkljaskljfañiruañilñk me quedo corta.
. . madreeeeee Finished this a few days ago, Fantastic! Even sexier than the first one in the series,
Lots of humor, and great characterization, Loved it!
This is thend book in Erin McCarthy's "Fast Track" series, I'll be picking up the third soon! Contemporary romance,stars.
Wow! I'm amazed by this hilarious, sappy and very steamy story, Where have you been and why haven't I read you before There are few things better than trying a new author and finding a new favorite book.
I laughed so much, you know really laughing my ass off, and grinning so much that my cheeks hurt, I want to read it again!
I could so relate to Imogen maybe because I'm also a PhD student, a bit of nerd, not prettypretty and straightforward.
She cracked me up with her blunt honesty and sharp observations, I want to wear my glasses more after seeing how sexy Ty thought they were not mine, but Imogen's,
"She is beautiful, sexy as hell, and smart, I mean, we have great sex and great conversations, Who know this was possible"
Ty falls head over heels in love with her and he makes her feel so special.
And boy, Ty is one hot race car driver fanning myself
And I tiny little bonus, Imogen uses one of my favorite words ginormous yeey for that!
Here's a book that lives up to it's title! The characters in this story definitely fell hard and fast for each other, that's for sure.
This second book in the 'Fast Track' series about stock car drivers was another extremely 'fast' paced, easy to read winner by Erin McCarthy.
I found this one 'hard' to put down, and I knocked it out in one afternoon, This was a fairly simple read in regards to plot, but it was just smokin' in the romance/sex department, It's listed as a contemporary romance, but the love scenes between the H/H were downright erotic, Have a fan ready and plenty of ice, especially when Ty takes Imogen camping, because you'll need it!
Imogen Wilson is a graduate student in sociology, working on her thesis.
She works in Charlotte, NC racing country as a teaching assistant to her good friend and sociology professor, Tamara Monroe sitelinkFlatOut Sexy, and is searching for a topic for her thesis project.
She's thinking about something to do with the culture of stock car racing in the South, but she needs something a little more specific.
When she stumbles upon an unusual book called How To Marry a Race Car Driver in Six Easy Steps, she thinks she may have found her answer.
Imogen figures that the basis for her thesis should bedo dating rules result in success when altered for a specific occupation racing So her initial plan is to follow the rules of the book and see if she can find out.
But there's a kink in the plan, and his name is Ty McCordle, Ty is a stock car racer, good friends of the Monroes, and ocassionally his and Imogen's paths have crossed, Ty's not sure what to make of her, can never get her name right calls her 'Emma Jean', but something about her interests him.
He's never gone for the brainy, studious type, but he's getting tired of 'his type', His current bedmate, bimboish Nikki, has marriage on her mind, and Ty can't see himself married to a woman that he can't even have a decent conversation with.
He wants a woman who wants him for himself, and not one who is influenced by his fame and fortune, He finds himself fascinated by Imogen's honest, always curious personality, and as he looks closer, he sees that she's actually quite beautiful too, in an understated way.
The time has come to break up with Nikki, and maybe pursue a more meaningful type of relationshipmight Imogen be interested
Well, Imogen's had the hots for Ty for months now, but there's no way she can complicate her thesis by flirting with him and trying out the 'rules'.
She needs to try out the rules only on race car drivers that she has no interest in so she can stay in control and be objective.
And there's no way that she can stay in control of herself if she has a relationship with Tythe guy just oozes charm and sexuality.
So what will it beTy or her thesis What if there's a way to have, . . both
I have to say, the dialogue between Ty and Imogen is topnotch and is part of the reason I enjoyed the story so much.
It's witty, thoughtprovoking at times, downright funny, and laced with sexual tension and innuendo, Ty has a secret that he feels he can't tell anyone about, and it causes him a few anxious moments doubting his selfworth and intelligence, but you can see that he's a smart man, and so can Imogen.
I loved when Ty told Imogen that he wanted to be a woman's 'work boots' and not her 'high heels', and his whole explanation of what that meant.
I think that opened up Imogen's eyes to what kind of a man Ty really was, I really fell for Ty as I'm sure most readers willI loved his whole beta on the outside, alpha in the bedroom personality.
He got a little bossy at times, but Imogen or 'Engine' as he sometimes called her loved it, and it definitely worked in their relationship.
There were no big misunderstandings in the book, and nothing to really get in the way of Ty and Imogen realizing that they were each falling in love for the first times in their lives as they spent more and more time together.
There were plenty of swoon worthy moments, especially when Ty took the time to memorize some Shakespeare Imogen's favorite even though it was difficult due to his 'problem'.
Besides being a fantastic lover, he did lots of thoughtful things for her, and it didn't take him forever like some romance heroes to realize that Imogen was the one for him.
I loved how he got Imogen to try new things and start participating in life and not be just an observer, and I appreciated his willingness to try things that Imogen was interested in.
This guy was a keeper! They did have a bit of a bad period when Ty got overly defensive and Imogen was a little insensitive when he finally revealed his big secret to her.
Each started to wonder that maybe they didn't know all they needed to know about the other, and started to doubt the relationship.
Maybe they moved too fast
Nah, not to worry, These two were made for each other, and I never had a doubt that they would patch things up, They had a beautiful reconciliation, and then true to form, they sexed it up, Ty and his 'Engine' were one sexy couple,
So for anyone who thinks you have to be a racing fan to enjoy thisdon't worry, I'm not really a fan at all but I did learn a few interesting things about the racing scene in general, and it made an interesting backdrop to the story.
Ty and Imogen were one of the most likable, hottest couples that I've read about this year, and there were many moments when my heart skipped a beat in this book just like Imogen's due to some of the things that Ty said or did.
This was one hot hero! Maybe not quite as hot as Elec Monroe from "FlatOut Sexy", but then who is This was a very worthy addition to the series, and I look forward to many more to come.
