I was looking for something on the lighter side, and I got something even better from this book! This was such a fun, feel good romance, which left me with a sappy grin on my face.

Who?

• Luke - An aspiring SBX racer, who is worried about upsetting the family plan after withdrawing from college in order to chase his dreams.

• Charlotte - A take-no-nonsense, independent waitress, who has fled her life in Arizona in hopes that a change of scenery will help her conquer the MCAT and begin earning her medical degree.

What?

After Luke gallantly assists Charlotte tim some unruly customers at the Cafe, sparks fly and a small flame ignites between them, but is Luke ready for a long term relationship, and will they be able to nurture a new relationship while chasing their dreams?

Why?
Five things I loved about this book:

1. Luke and Charlotte were both super likable, and I really admired their dedication to their dreams. They were considerate, caring, self-sacrificing, determined, and not afraid of hard work. I was rooting for both of them the whole time.

2. This book is full of really healthy relationships. The hero and heroine of this story are adults, but their families, and their friends families, play a role in the story. I loved them all! The parents were obviously in love with each other and obviously loved their children. They spoke openly, honestly, and with care. Extra points for Mr. and Mrs. Bzdyl, because they were so lovely and served as a wonderful surrogate family for Charlotte.

3. I hate winter, snow, and the outdoors, but I loved all the action sequences on the mountain. I was not very familiar with SBX racing, but Highley put me right out there, in the heat of the moment with Luke.

4. This was a fun, low drama story. I was looking for something on the lighter side after reading two books about abuse, and this was exactly what I needed. My heart soared with every success Charlotte and Luke achieved, and my cheeks hurt from all the smiling I was doing.

5. I will always praise a strong ending, and this ending was strong. I actually have some tears of joy in my eyes at the end of this book.

Overall: If you are looking for a fun and light sports romance, that will leave you feeling happy, look no further. File this under the-fluff-that-makes-me-happy, because I am still feeling quite jubilant from this story.
