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

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.

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.”

I was delighted to hear that Katy was writing a story about Remy and Brooke's son, Racer, and eagerly anticipated its release. Racer has all the typical things I know and love about Katy's books. Great characters, a story that reels me in quickly and keeps me in its grasp the entire time, and enough romance and sexiness to make you swoon from beginning to end. All of her stories are written in this fun and quirky way that always has me wanting more. 

I love the relationship between Lana and Racer. (It gave me flashbacks to Remy and Brooke, whom I was glad to see in this novel, but wish we had gotten to see them a bit more. I miss those two.) I also love the racing aspect to the story because I've never read about a race car driver before and found it exciting and refreshing. I enjoyed getting to read the dual POV from both the main characters. I liked the chance to get inside both of their heads and see things from their perspective. 

I wish there had been a little more about the fact that Racer is also bipolar. It plays such a large role in Remy's story and I would have loved to see more about Racer's journey from finding out to where we see him in the story. (I loved the hospital scene though. That was very touching.) Despite this, Racer is still a solid read from Katy and I look forward to reading what she puts out next.  (I really, really hope she does a book for Iris.)
