BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Gray Preston was born into money, but he’s built his racing empire on hard work and muscle. And now that Gray has millions of fans, his senator father sends one of his aides, Evelyn Hill, to elicit Gray’s help in garnering votes for the upcoming national election. Gray wants nothing to do with his estranged father’s campaign, but Evelyn can be pretty persuasive. She’s willing to learn about racing, and maybe even get a little dirty.
Evelyn’s number-one goal is politics, which makes working with Gray difficult, because his only passion is fast cars. As she and Gray spend time together, he teaches her about the sport he loves, and she learns a lot about the man behind the wheel. The more she learns, the more she wants him. But any desire that threatens to derail the carefully laid plans for her future is a dangerous one.
With the passion Gray and Evelyn share running hotter than either imagined, one of them is going to have to compromise, or else run the risk of losing more than their hearts.
REVIEW:
4.5 Stars Jaci really knows how to take oil & vinegar to get a great mix. Gray & Evelyn are so different, yet work so perfectly together.
Gray is the uber hot, race car driving, racing team owner and all around good guy. But Gray does have some serious baggage when it comes to his father. So it is no surprise that he wants nothing to do with the drop dead gorgeous woman that wants him to work with his father. And support his father in his new campaign to become vice president.
Evelyn loves her job, loves politics, loves D.C. and has worked very hard to get where she is at today. So she is not going to let a crabby race car driver stand in her way of helping his father win the VP seat. Oh no, Evelyn is willing to play dirty when it comes to Gray Preston. Evelyn pulls out the dirtiest play in the book, she calls his mom… 🙂
These two are so good together. I loved every stop of their journey. Even the heartbreaking parts. If you have love Jaci’s Play-by-Play books in the past you will fall in love with One Sweet Ride. But never fear. If you are new to the Play-by-Play series (which you really should read all of them 😀 ) One Sweet Ride can easily be read as a stand alone.
