3 1/2 STARS Another sexy read in this series and an opposites attract romance- and boy were they opposites. The hero Diesel was a dreamboat and I loved his personality. Easygoing, respectful, reserved, and grounded- not full of himself AND a Dom in the bedroom. He was no longer a driver because of a horrible accident in a NASCAR race. He accepted his forced retirement with dignity, lived a quiet life, and wanted a relationship, not bimbos or just random sex. The heroine, Tuesday was crazy, it wa...

Rating 3.5Slow Ride is the story of Kendall's friend Tuesday who writes sports blog.Tuesday just lost her father to cancer and on his funeral cries all over Daniel "Diesel", her dad's favorite race car driver.They meet again at Kendall's wedding where a drunk Tuesday hits on him. Diesel stopped driving after his accident and has suffered many doubts since combined with his personal losses(mother, brother etc).He's incredibly sweet and understanding. My problem with the book was that it seemed to...

This was a solid four stars for me. So even though I may mention a few things that I didn't enjoy in this book - the good parts far outweighed them.Erin McCarthy has a writing style that I envy. Her stories are smooth and deliciously descriptive without having an ounce of boring content. So not only do I enjoy her stories, but I thoroughly enjoy the way she tells them. Slow Ride was the story of two sexy characters - with names I absolutely adore - Tuesday and Diesel. Now their story was great -...

Written May 23, 20153.8 Stars - Amusing, touchy-feely and witty Book #5 Slow Ride is the fifth part in a m/f series I mostly liked much every time so far. I read the two by myself and this will be my third as a audiobook. ~ 7:33 hrs narrated by Emily Durante, a voice I like a lot. She is absolutely perfect for these books. "Fast Track" are m/f contemporary romances about a bunch of NASCAR drivers (stock car racing), their women and friends. Always good stand-alone romances in

I’m not a car race fan in real life, but I do like the idea of this series that follows these drivers lives. However, this one just doesn’t quite rev my engine.Daniel “Diesel” Lange first meets Tuesday Jones at her father’s funeral. Diesel was her father’s favorite race car driver, until Diesel got into a horrible crash which crushed his knee. Unable to drive anymore, Diesel now restores vintage race cars and leads a pretty quiet life. Tuesday writes a very popular blog gossiping about the lives...

Review to come :P

Erin McCarthy... another hit! Slow Ride meshes right into the series with the rest which is no easy feat because both characters were not in the original group. Tuesday being the racing blogger only briefly mentioned in book 1 and Diesel, the retired/injured race car driver.I can't help but give 4 stars because I am so smitten with the series as a whole, but there were a few points that I wasn't crazy about. Her drinking was hard to deal with as a reader. I realize that it was an important eleme...

*4.5 Stars*I loved this book! Overall, I have loved this whole series, but there was something about this one... (Doesn't overtake Flat-Out Sexy because that one was something special!) I loved the chemistry between Diesel and Tuesday - talk about interesting names! They had a lot of heat, but a lot of insecurities and compassion too. There were occasional moments of such tenderness, followed right up with some silliness or sarcasm. It was great to see them push each other, even if it wasn't in

Decent quick read. I enjoyed the character of the hero particularly. There were some fun bits where they were flirting with each other in the beginning that I really enjoyed. Didn't like the heroine so much. I think I just didn't really like reading about a heroine with a drinking problem. It was fun to catch up with some of the characters from previous books.

Normally I enjoy Erin McCarthy's books, but I was extremely disappointed in this story and could not even bring myself to finish reading this book. Could have something to do with the fact that I really don't like drunk people all that much, let alone drunk people who do stupid things... I will delete it from my ereader and move on to something more worthy of my time. Obviously this just wasn't my cup of tea.

I really liked this one. In the first 3 books, Tuesday wasn't the most likable figure as she was the gossip columnist & didn't write the nicest things about some of the couples/the guy in the pairing. Then we finally met her in Book 4, Kendall and Evan's book, since she is Kendall's best friend. She was portrayed as this hard-ass, takes no-nonsense journalist, which she definitely still is, but we saw a lot more of her humanity in this one. (Okay, that sounds weird but you know what I mean.)Dies...

I really loved this book, which surprised me, because after reading a few reviews I didn't have high hopes. But I loved it because...well basically, it entertained me.:) It was a quick easy read, filled with witty dialogue and sexy, sometimes snarky banter, and featured the most adorable, husband-worthy male lead of this series (outside of Elec Monroe, that is) in retired race car driver Daniel "Diesel" Lange. Oh how I loved this sexy, kind, thoughtful, big-hearted and slightly insecure hunk!Die...

Thoughts After Reading:3 ½-4 stars – Contemporary RomanceThis series seems to have lost a little speed with this and the previous book. I'm hoping things get back on the "Fast Track" with Jacked Up, which based on the snippet at the end of this is finally going to be Eve's book. Although it's not my favorite of the series, Slow Ride is still an entertaining, steamy, and satisfying contemporary romance. I'm hoping Eve's book revs the series up a bit! Thoughts Before Reading:"Slow ride, take it ea...

***Detailed Review***4.5 SLOW RIDE was fantastic. It dealt very well with grief and struggle through two very different scenarios. At the end of THE CHASE we learned of Tuesday Jones father’s terminal cancer. SLOW RIDE picks up three months later at Tuesday’s father’s funeral. Barely holding it together, Tuesday ends up crying in the arms of retired driver, Daniel ‘Diesel’ Lange.Diesel himself has also gone through grief. He’s lost his younger brother, his mother, his relative Pete Briggs and su...

This review was posted at Under The CoversI find myself at odds on how to rate this book. First of all, I haven't been a fan of Ms. Tuesday Jones a.k.a. Tuesday Talladega, gossip blogger extraordinaire. But she started to grow on me in the last book. Fast forward to the beginning of this book and I was actually liking her.Her father has just passed away, which was a big thing for her and she's still struggling with her grief. Her best friend just got married. And she has to figure out how to dea...

Was this book written by someone other than Erin McCarthy?? The first chapter or two was cute and was setting up to be a really great story. And then it juts went downhill...at least for me.The dialogue between Diesel and Tuesday was just weird...it wasn't sexy...it was just weird. And the dialogue between Diesel and everyone else was weird...He had NO voice, or he said things that I didn't think a guy like him would say...and his guy friends sounded like girls!!For someone who LOVED the whole s...

The Evan baby bonanza is finally resolved!Oh the joy!Other than that...man. This book was really disappointing.Not in a rant inducing way,either.Just really,really nothing special.A lot of issues were thrown in there but non of them tackled really well.The couple getting married in the end did not make me warm ad fuzzy-they just made me frown.Where was the rush? Why are they doing it?Nobody knows.Also, we all like goatees,do we not? But who really likes a mountain man beard? :/Not me. And that v...

I thought Slow Ride was good. It's a solid contemporary romance with McCarthy's trademark humor sprinkled throughout. What can I say? She makes me giggle.I had given up on the Fast Track series after my disappointment with Hot Finish, and the less than favorable reviews I read of The Chase. After reading this one, I think I've changed my mind. Jacked Up, here I come!

I liked this book. All are pretty consistent. I actually liked Danial [Diesel] quite a bit. I like the strong, silent type and he fit this bill. He and Tuesday were evenly matched.My one big complaint - too short. I think this book with all the angst in the story, could/should have been longer. She had quite a bit of material to get into a limited number of pages. Unfortunate. I think if she had lengthened the story and delved a bit deeper into the undertones of grief both characters were dealin...
