Racer by Katy Evans Publication Date: September 28th, 2017 Genre: Contemporary Romance
Racer, an all-new standalone in the Real Series from New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans is LIVE!
A bad boy with something to prove.
A woman with a mission.
The race of their lives.
The love of a lifetime.
I don’t think his parents expected him to live up to his name—Racer Tate—but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted.
He's the fastest, fiercest driver around.
Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep...
but his smile sends me to my knees.
The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He's secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss....
This is our last chance to win, and he is our only hope. I'm supposed to watch him—make sure he doesn't get into trouble. But it's an impossible task. And now the one in heart wrenching, toe-curling, soul-crushing trouble is me. Because when your heart belongs to someone, their truths become your own, and their secrets become your salvation...or your curse.
He says he wants me. He says I'm the One. But he also thinks he'll break my heart, one piece at a time until it's gone.
Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
When I requested an ARC for this book, I didn't notice the hero's last name. I don't even think I read the blurb because this is Katy Evans we are talking about. So far all the books of hers I have read have gotten 4 or 5 stars and I didn't think this book would be the exception and it's not. He is so much like his father, so there wasn't a chance I wouldn't love him as much as I love Remy. I loved Racer, both the book and the character. Racer might have taken a different direction for his career, but he is just as possessive as Remy. He kept saying that we would Marry Lana since the middle of the book, so I wasn't worried about him sleeping with some groupie. He is truly devoted to her and that made me love him more. Who doesn't want a man like him? If I could pull him out of the book and have him in real life I would. He is a well-written character, who is the alpha male without giving me the feeling of being overbearing or over the top. He was acting like I was expecting him to, maybe because of his genes. Speaking of genes, I was very happy to see Remy and Brook again. It's too bad we didn't get to see them more. We also meet Violet, their daughter. I hope she will also get a book. I like her already.
Lana is a great heroine. She is devoted to her family and a good person. I liked her from the start. He recruited Racer to help her father's sinking F1 team and from the moment they met sparks were flying. Her brothers were interesting characters and I am hoping they will get their own books.This way we can see Lana and Racer. They love Lana and they want to protect her, so I know they will do great things for their ladies.
I don't know a lot of things about F1, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book even if racing is a big part of it. Everything was simple and I was a happy lady. There isn't a thing in this book that I didn't like and that's the reason I am giving Racer a nomination for my top reads of 2017. Time flew when I read the book and I didn't want the story to end. Everything was balanced and I had a great time reading this book that kept me up all night.

Excerpt:
I’m still reeling. While people approach him, he cuts a path straight to me, his gaze penetrating and target-like; making me want to bolt. His lips do that little upward tilt they do that seems so sexy, and for a second, I feel like I’m lightheaded. I gulp, and then feel mad at myself for acting like some idiot as fucking devil-Racer Tate reaches me, throws himself into a seat next to me, and turns to look at me expectantly with the most gorgeous grin on his face. I don’t know what to say. This guy has left me sort of speechless. “So … ” I say, staring in the distance at his beat-up mustang, then at him. “So … ” he says too, in his deep voice, his smile a little more wicked than it was two seconds ago. He glances at my mouth. Oh god. Why am I licking my lips? It only made his eyes narrow and darken. I open my mouth to speak, failing to find words. He smells like sweat and soap and shampoo, and I feel my traitorous nipples push up to my top again. Why do they do that when he’s around? “This is illegal,” I state. His voice is husky from exertion, and his eyes glint with laughter. “That’s why it’s fun.” I look away from his eyes, trying to focus and clear my head. He leans over and peers into my face, his face shadowed by the moonlight and his jaw now carrying a little scruff. “Are we in agreement?” he presses. “No.” I glare and shake my head, meeting his cocky gaze. “You’re reckless, Racer.” “So are you, Alana.” “It’s just … Lana.” His brows fly up in surprise. “And a bit of a liar too.” I purse my lips, still glaring as my gaze goes back to his car. Girls are rubbing against it as if it were him, and I find it disgusting. Why are women always acting so slutty around race car drivers and bad boys? “You crashed your car,” I say flippantly. “You crashed my car,” he contradicts, amused. I laugh, then scowl in his direction. “You crashed it more. I can’t believe you were making such a fuss about me crashing into you when it was just a little kiss—” He leans in to peck my lips—fast but firmly. “That’s a kiss.” I lose my breath. My eyes wide. He eases back, lips smiling as he comes to his feet and stretches his hand out to take me by the elbow and help me to my feet. “Let’s get out of here.” He starts walking, leading the way. “And go where?” “Anywhere I can get my hands on you.”
