Review: Final Lap by Erin McCarthy

Switching into high gear…

At a friend’s lavish wedding, Harley McLain and her twin sister, Charity, meet sexy stock-car driver Cooper Brickman. The more reserved Harley is immediately smitten—until he hits on her twin. But Harley has had enough of being the “nice” girl, and after trading dresses with Charity, she seduces Cooper for a night of wild sex.

…ready for a hot lap.

What was supposed to be a one-night fling gets complicated when Cooper needs a nanny to look after his kid sister—and is convinced sweet, dependable Harley would be perfect for the job. She can’t resist the money—or Cooper’s hot bod. But when her deception is revealed, will it destroy her dependable image—or will he finally realize how sexy sweet can be?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

FINAL LAP is another charming story by Erin McCarthy. I’ve read and enjoyed all the Fast Track books about hot, racecar drivers and I’m sad this is the last book in the series.

This story centers on Harley and Charity, they are identical twins and although they look alike, they each have their own individual personalities. Charity is the sexy twin, but she’s tired of men looking at her as a sex object and assuming she doesn’t have a brain. Harley is the serious twin and she feels sexless. She hasn’t a clue how to flirt and would love to be considered sexy.

Each of the twins has a crush on a different guy and they would like to get the guys to notice them. Harley is interested in Cooper, who is a successful, playboy, racecar driver in his thirties and has been in the business for years. Cooper is a nice, down to earth guy with a southern drawl, but Harley’s sure he’s out of her league.

Cooper asks Harley to help him with his twelve year old sister who’s living with him and is a handful. Harley agrees to take the nanny position he offers, which means she will be living in Cooper’s house while watching over his sister. I love that Cooper sees Harley as a beautiful woman and always treats her with respect, honesty and patience. Harley’s a people pleaser and she needs to learn to go after what she wants, but she doesn’t have the confidence to do that.

The main story is about Cooper and Harley, but there is a secondary story also playing out about Charity and Jeff Sterling. Jeff is a great guy, he’s divorced, in his forties and owns Sterling Motors. Charity has worked for him for two years and tries to get him to notice her, but she hasn’t been successful. She’s used to men falling at her feet and is miffed when Jeff doesn’t.

This is an entertaining story and it’s great to be able to catch up with the other characters featured in the previous books. Thanks for a fun series Erin McCarthy!
