Blog Tour RACER by Katy Evans

Racer by Katy Evans Publication Date: September 28th, 2017 Genre: Contemporary Romance

Racer, an all-new standalone in the Real Series from New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans is coming September 28th!!!

A bad boy with something to prove.

A woman with a mission.

The race of their lives.

The love of a lifetime.

I don’t think his parents expected him to live up to his name—Racer Tate—but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted.

He's the fastest, fiercest driver around.

Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep...

but his smile sends me to my knees.

The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He's secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss....

This is our last chance to win, and he is our only hope. I'm supposed to watch him—make sure he doesn't get into trouble. But it's an impossible task. And now the one in heart wrenching, toe-curling, soul-crushing trouble is me. Because when your heart belongs to someone, their truths become your own, and their secrets become your salvation...or your curse.

He says he wants me. He says I'm the One. But he also thinks he'll break my heart, one piece at a time until it's gone.

Review by Heather D:

I jumped for joy when I saw that we were getting Racer's book. We all loved the intensity of Racer's father, Remy, so I knew that Katy Evans would deliver an intense book for his son.

So.... where do I begin. Racer is Remy and Brooke's son. The love that these two had for each other was off the charts. It was memorable. So when two people love the way they do, I knew their child would as well.

Racer is known as "The Best Illegal Street Racer" in St. Petersburg, Florida. He has made quite the name for himself.

Lana's family owns a Formula 1 Race Team. They need a driver. So when Lana takes the responsibility to set out to find a driver to save their team, she heads to St. Pete's to scout out a practice facility. Little did she know, her life would change the day she arrived. 

Lana's driving skills may not be the best, but Racer's are. The moment these two collide, literally, their lives change.  Racer falls in love with her expressive eyes. Lana is drawn to his sea-blue eyes. Eyes that she can't seem to look away from.

When Racer is given the opportunity to try out for their team, he jumps at the chance. Does he do it to become a race car driver? Does it do it to spend more time with Lana? 

Throughout this book, Racer took hold of my heart. He made my heart race, my pulse speed. Lana is a strong woman. Knows what she wants, yet she is afraid to go for it. Fear of what her family will say, fear of feeling again, fear of loving again, fear of losing someone she loves again. 

Racer is raw and intense, making my heart pound. So much emotion, so much angst. Racer is EPIC. 

5 star read. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Excerpt:

I’m still reeling. While people approach him, he cuts a path straight to me, his gaze penetrating and target-like; making me want to bolt. His lips do that little upward tilt they do that seems so sexy, and for a second, I feel like I’m lightheaded. I gulp, and then feel mad at myself for acting like some idiot as fucking devil-Racer Tate reaches me, throws himself into a seat next to me, and turns to look at me expectantly with the most gorgeous grin on his face. I don’t know what to say. This guy has left me sort of speechless. “So … ” I say, staring in the distance at his beat-up mustang, then at him. “So … ” he says too, in his deep voice, his smile a little more wicked than it was two seconds ago. He glances at my mouth.

Oh god. Why am I licking my lips? It only made his eyes narrow and darken. I open my mouth to speak, failing to find words. He smells like sweat and soap and shampoo, and I feel my traitorous nipples push up to my top again. Why do they do that when he’s around?

“This is illegal,” I state. His voice is husky from exertion, and his eyes glint with laughter. 

“That’s why it’s fun.” I look away from his eyes, trying to focus and clear my head. He leans over and peers into my face, his face shadowed by the moonlight and his jaw now carrying a little scruff. “Are we in agreement?” he presses. “No.” I glare and shake my head, meeting his cocky gaze. “You’re reckless, Racer.” “So are you, Alana.” “It’s just … Lana.” His brows fly up in surprise. “And a bit of a liar too.” I purse my lips, still glaring as my gaze goes back to his car. Girls are rubbing against it as if it were him, and I find it disgusting. Why are women always acting so slutty around race car drivers and bad boys? “You crashed your car,” I say flippantly. “You crashed my car,” he contradicts, amused. I laugh, then scowl in his direction. “You crashed it more. I can’t believe you were making such a fuss about me crashing into you when it was just a little kiss—” He leans in to peck my lips—fast but firmly. 

“That’s a kiss.” I lose my breath. My eyes wide. He eases back, lips smiling as he comes to his feet and stretches his hand out to take me by the elbow and help me to my feet. “Let’s get out of here.” He starts walking, leading the way. “And go where?” “Anywhere I can get my hands on you.”
