Hearts under Caution

I read "Almost Famous" (which tells Jake Hinson's story) before I read this book, and I just don't think that "Hearts Under Caution" is as good. The dynamics are different; the two characters in this book were engaged once, so the reader is walking into a relationship that was established long ago. I just didn't see much of a spark between Wade and Lisa.

That said, I enjoyed this book on a different level. So many romance books rely on flowery language that just isn't realistic. This one didn't. Wade is a guy who has difficulty expressing his feelings, and it was a big deal when he started losing his cool and saying that he cared about Lisa. So, if you're looking for something that's different from the romance novels packed full of show more purple prose, I'd recommend this one. show less

from abxc; I learned a lot about NASCAR racing from this one. The daughter was running away from an escaped convict, who was out to get her. Her father owns NASCAR teams, and the team Pit Chief, Wade, takes It on as his obligation to keep her safe.
