After reading about Ryder and Suzanne in the last two books, I was looking forward to reading their story. Suzanne has been entertaining with her snark and wit so I was looking forward to the brave front she was going to portray in her happily-ever-after. Ryder has always been the nice guy but he does have a sexy streak in playing the field at times. Put these two together and I was looking for some fun and smexy action! Unfortunately, their book was not as entertaining and as romantic as the first two books. Don't get me wrong! There was sexy time and there was humor, but their romance just didn't click for me as the previous books have.
I think my main problem with this book is the character of Suzanne. Yes I love her smart mouth and the funny lines she comes up with, but I was clearly on Ryder's side of the fence in the romance. This woman does not know how to talk and work things out. She would rather run than talk about anything. She walked out on her marriage of two years instead of just talking to Ryder. They clearly still love each other and I give kudos to Ryder for attempting to try and work things out. He may not have been romantic in some of his actions, but you could tell he was serious and trying the best way he could. Whenever he did try to do something nice for Suzanne, she would twist it all around and make him look like a bad guy. I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy her character in the romance department. When it came to the fun dialogue though, Suzanne and Ryder are pros at getting a chuckle out of the reader.
While this wasn't my favorite book in the series, it still had its moments of enjoyment. What I love the most is how the author includes previous characters and weaves them into the current story. Usually in a series, previous characters are forgotten and the plot moves on. With the Fast Track series, they are such a big family of friends that they are included in the plot and remembered through out the story. I am anxious to start reading the next book and can't wait to see what the author has in store for the still eligible bachelors of the race track!
