Hard and Fast by Erin McCarthy

I am a sucker for a tawdry romance & with a title like Hard & Fast this book fits the bill. This was an okay book. I did not think it was as good as her paranormal series- Vampires in Vegas. I felt it was a little generic and could have been a little shorter. I did like the vulnerable Imogen but sometimes I felt she was a little too outspoken.

Story (as on book): New to Charlotte, North Carolina, stock car racing country, graduate student Imogen Wilson meets Ty McCordle, a driver who inexplicably has her pulse racing. After an encounter at the track with a woman whose main goal in life is to marry a driver, Imogen realizes she's hit on the perfect topic for her sociology thesis. If she follows the rules on how to get a man, can she steer her way into the hearts of the drivers and establish their dating- and mating- patterns?

Maybe it is because I am just not a fan of race car driving but I felt the story could have been better. The chemisty was explosive but the underlying story line was just so-so.
