Back of the Book:

Twenty-three-year-old Carolina Hawkins needs an experienced Cup driver, or the business she inherited from her father will be facing its last lap on the NASCAR circuit. Approaching her childhood friend, Dell Wayne, is risky - there's a reason he doesn't have a ride in the middle of the season. Carolina pins her hopes and dreams on the man once touted as a brilliant, new style of driver, but whose recent track performance has earned him the nickname – Madman. After his father's tragic death at Darlington, Caudell Wayne Jr. has done his best to live 'down' to his father's expectations. When Carolina Hawkins hires him to drive for her failing race team, her faith in his ability prompts Dell to dig deep to find the driver she needs in order to save her business and her dream, and if he's lucky, maybe he'll win the biggest trophy of all, her heart.

"On your right."
"Stay low."
"Clear."
"Hold steady."

Dell listened to the voice in his beer. Earl was one of the best spotters in racing and Dell would have to be crazy not to pay attention. One hundred and eighty miles per hour doesn't leave much room for error. Hell, there wasn't any room for error. The 14 car sped past on his right, leaving Dell looking at his bumper. He loosened his fingers on the steering wheel to keep blood flowing, then curled them back into a tight grip. His car inched up the track. The walls and past, close. Too close.

Plot & Character:

Roz Lee has brought NASCAR to romance with a hero that you can't help but love and a strong heroine you root for from page one!

I instantly connected with her set determination and guts to hold her chin high, deal with the pushy men of the racing world and not back down no matter the slander shoved her way. Handed a failing race car business upon her father's death Carolina had two options, sell to one of other teams looking to play scavenger or take her love for motors, racing, and one Dell Wayne and push against all odds.

Carolina knows the latter will either make her the best on the track or break her for good. This story is a testament of how faith and trust go a long way to not only building a racing team, but also mending broken souls looking for acceptance; and the hero is as broken as Carolina’s race team. The author throws in some great twists and turns with enough heat to make you sweat and passion to make you burn but by the end delivers the checkered flag for a wonderful happily ever after we all love to read in our contemporary romances!

I found Sweet Carolina to be a well-written and wonderfully delivered romance that not only brought to life the lives of those in racing, but also the love between two people that needed the connection more than anything else in life. Ms. Lee hasn’t let me down yet and rides at the lead of my Must-Read list!

Writing:
Roz Lee has an incredible talent of bringing to life the stories she writes for her readers. she writes with an elaborate prose and offers her readers a well written story with each new release.

Summary:
I highly recommend Sweet Carolina to all readers that love a heartwarming romance coupled with a high-speed adventure that takes place on and off the track!
