Summary: I don't even like racing!
Review: This is a classic Nora Roberts book- and I loved it! The story focuses around car racing- which holds absolutely NO interest for me, yet I couldn't put this book down. That says a lot about the lure of the romance.Foxy grew up on the racing circuit, her brother is now a big racing star, and she returns to be the photographer for a story on him. She meets up with the man she once had a girlhood crush on- the financer of her brother's car, and his best friend. They discover a mutual attraction but they rub each other the wrong way. This book is sweet and I love that although the characters are beautiful and brilliant they also have flaws. I recommend picking this book up!

Summary: A collection of conservative common-sense quotations...
Review: This is a well-rounded selection of common-sense conservative thought through the ages. It features a like of contemporary luminaries in the conservative movement as well as the venerable founding fathers. Though, it is must likely to resonate with contemporary neoconservatives than the more social conservatives and paleoconservatives. I also recommend, the Concise Conservative Encyclopedia.

Summary: Can I Rate this Book a Negative Number???
Review: This is by far the most awful, horrible book I have ever read in my life... really. If you want to waste time and money to buy it and read it - go ahead, but it would be exactly that - a total waste. The writing was extremely poor and bordered on a second-grade vocabulary. There was less than zero chemistry between any of the characters - I mean, the lead male continually tells his wife/girlfriend to shutup, he calls her an idiot, and he tries to drown her in the bathtub a few weeks into the marriage - that's romantic???!!! There was no respect between any of the characters at all. I have no idea what the other reviewers were reading, but I think anything with the name Nora Roberts gets a high rating just because. This was one of her earlier works (perhaps the first? or very close to it), and I know she's improved. Just stay away from this book and I would assume anything of hers written pre-fame because it's likely to be just as awful. A terrible waste of printing money and materials. AWFUL!
