Dangerous Curves

This is an erotic love hate romance with a Nascar theme. Lots of drama with the main characters because of some significant baggage they're both carrying. It makes for some intensely descriptive scenes. It is hard to fathom how so much hostility can lead to such hot sex scenes, but to each their own. A solid book from a great author.

...I really liked all the characters... While there was a fair amount of sex – obviously – it didn’t feel nearly as gratuitous as those scenes sometimes do in romances – erotic or otherwise. All in all, this is an author I’m going to look out for again.

The story follows two women who both love everything and anything to do with NASCAR and racing. Lacy,a photographer and former fan of the NASCAR races, has decided to pull back from the racing world after witnessing an accident that has left her in a permanent shock. But when her best friend gets her the job of a lifetime, one that will give her enough money to help jump start a passion project she has been thinking on for quite some time, it seems like things are starting to fall into place with her. The catch? She has to clean up the image of up and coming racer Kip Sellars, who is known to get on the bad sides of many people within the racing world and has some secrets of her own. Sworn to never involve herself with racing again, Lacy must decide if this is something she wants to do, but her attraction to Kip is making it harder for her to say "no".
...
The novel focused on the building of the relationship between Lacy and Kip, who both have some dark secrets to hide and are afraid of letting people see the real them because of them. This novel is not a "love saves all" story, but more of a "love can sometimes push you to be the best and move past your demons" story. I really enjoyed that, because it gave more substance to both Lacy and Kip, who without them would just be some angry, horny women that want nothing more than their next fix. This story, along with many other romance-based adult contemporaries I've been reading, have greatly surprised me by having so much more depth to them than expected.

Lacy and Kip as individuals truly make this story come alive. Each one has their faults and their quirks, and the rubbing against each other in the wrong ways makes the sexual tension in this novel expand so much that it is suffocating. It's great! I love it, because it feels real. There are definitely some people that I have met over the course of my life that I have both hated but also been ridiculously attracted to, and the entire time I read about Lacy and Kip, the more I just want them to get together so the sexual tension is released. But aside from that, their individual characters are deep and complex, which in a 242 page novel can be incredibly hard to do, but is done well here.

Larkin Rose really created a story that I was involved in and felt happy with the outcome. The characters were dynamic and spunky, and the romance was built well enough to keep me on the edge of my seat but far enough to where I could still observe the intricacies of each character and pick apart why they are being they way they are in this relationship. This story made me think and made me involved, which is what I want from every story.

Rating: 5/5 stars

Oh, the twists and the turns. What fun this book was. You will have trouble putting this title down. Everything was in here, sex, speed, trauma and finally LOVE.

This is a short review, but all that’s needed! Dangerous Curves is an erotic romance, written around main characters Lacy McGowan and (Kip) Sellars. The reader gets some standard lesfic romantic themes in this book, including the HEA, but Larkin Rose adds a couple of interesting plot ideas and overall, the story is completely enjoyable. Add in some very well-written and hot love scenes, and we have a solid four-star read. I certainly enjoyed reading this book.
