Hot Finish was a great entry to this series! Was it the best in the series? *IMHO* no, but it damn sure earned it's spot! Suzanne and Ryder find out in this installment that they're not legally divorced. While Suzanne is making a comeback as a wedding planner. Her first job is to plan Nikki & Jonas wedding.(bridezilla) Ryder does everything in his power to help make it work for her, since she will not accept any financial help from him. This includes standing up as best man to Jonas & Nikki's we...

Not my favorite of the series (hard to top Elec and Tamara from Flat-Out Sexy or even Imogen and Ty from Hard and Fast), and at times I had issues with the sometimes bitchy, often snarky Suzanne Jefferson and the way she treated her sometimes clueless ex-husband Ryder, but all-in-all a pretty entertaining (if unspectacular) read.Suzanne works as a wedding planner, and she really needs the money she would make from planning the wedding of air-headed bridezilla Nikki Borden to stock car racer Jona...

By far not my favorite of the series. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. I liked it enough, but was expecting a better story.Series Note:Third book in McCarthy's "Fast Track" series. I'd recommend reading them in order.Summary:Ryder and Suzanne Jefferson have been divorced for two years, but neither has gotten over the other. Suzanne still thinks about Ryder and seems to bump into him all the time and Ryder still doesn't really understand what went wrong in his marriage. He still cares...

Written March 4, 20154.2 Stars - OMG, this m/f was so much fun - I just want to hug and kiss these adorable lovebirds I loved the first one two years ago. I enjoyed the second book last spring. Fast Track is a m/f contemporary romance series about NASCAR drivers (stock car racing) which has been very good stand-alone romances (in my taste) so far. (Reviews: (view spoiler)[#1 Flat-Out Sexy (4,5 stars) ~ Tamara Briggs & Elec Monroe#2 Hard and Fast (4,0 stars) ~ Imogen Wilson & Ty McCordle (hide s...

22/6 - I knew it couldn't go on forever, my run of good luck with romances had to end eventually (fortunately this is the last in my current pile, hopefully by the time they rise back to the top of my pile they'll be back to being 3.5 stars or higher). This ain't impressing me. The stupidness of Nikki (a cross between Paris, Jessica and a generic bridezilla) is grating on my nerves, and so is Suzanne's constant insistence on reminding us of that fact. I was irritated with the writing from page t...

I was really concerned about how I was going to feel about this book when I started it. I have loved Ryder ever since book one of this series, but...I've never really cared for Suzanne. At all. In fact, she annoyed me quite a bit. So I was worried about how that was going to turn out for me. However, the book was very good--I liked the plot--and I really liked it, which was due largely to Ryder's awesomeness.I have a love-hate relationship with Suzanne--there were times I really liked her and ti...

By the end I felt unsatisfied and harassed. Which was sad, because I was looking forward to this book. The story revolves around 2 people who fell out of a marriage and somehow manage to get it back. Yet they are constantly miscommunicating and bickering. It was all just so exhausting. Unfortunately, they are way too much like an average couple with big problems. Although, they do have some funny bantering before the hot sex-a-thon starts.Suzanne's a guarded, tough gal with a uncontrollable barb...

4 ½ stars – Contemporary RomanceFast Track is one of my favorite contemporary romance series and not just because of the smokin’ hot, studtastic cover hunks...really, I swear! Flat-Out Sexy, with sweet, doting Elec Monroe falling hard for older widow Tamara and her kids, is one of my favorite romances and much more to him than meets the eye, Ty, and quirky, brainiac Imogen were loads of fun together and burned up the pages in Hard and Fast. The sexual tension between Suzanne and her ex-husband R...

I was soooo not looking forward to reading this book. Suzanne has gotten on my nerves since book #1 and I wasn't really sure I could handle listening to her bitchyness for a whole book!However, I was pleasantly surprised. She's at a point in her life now where she almost has no self-esteem in a way. Alimony is over so she has to go back to work as a wedding planner and her first client is Nikki!!! Dear God! I wanted to strangle her. Which prompt my favorite quote of this whole book (by Suzanne o...

Erin McCarthy’s amazing Fast Track series is considered contemporary romance, but I think it’s a little hotter than most, and that’s just fine with me ;) Flat-Out Sexy (#1) gave us the story of stock car race driver Elec Monroe, one of the sweetest, hottest beta heros you’ll ever meet. Hard and Fast (#2) was hilarious and the opening love scene was one of the most well-written, ever!, with Ty and his little “reversals”<--sweet torture. The chemistry between divorced couple Suzanne and Ryder Jeff...

3.5 starsThis is the 3rd in the Fast Track series. Suzanne and Ryder's relationship has been a staple in the first two books and in this one it comes to the fore front. They are divorced, but still have a hot relationship. Although the last two years have mostly been hot with arguments, there is still a spark between them that isn't about anger. When news arrives that their divorce was never finalized, things take a strange turn. Both start to question their relationship and wonder what really w...

Suzanne is a fantastic character. She’s smart, fun, loving, but has this crazy hard shell around her. She’s also someone who doesn’t process with others, and internalizes. I can, yet can’t identify with her, and I like that. Suz is extremely pragmatic, and takes everything in stride except for her personal life, where she wants and expects more. Lucky for her, she’s the heroine in a romance novel, and she gets it. Suz is also very likable and has quite a temper. I appreciated that, and found it

Hot Finish is the third book in Fast Track series, but it can be read as a standalone, though I recommend start from the beginning since the first book Flat-Out Sexy is my favorite book so far.We first met Susanne and Ryder in the first book and they were present in the second one. Erin McCarthy writes amazing second characters; I loved both Susanne and Ryder in the first two books and was looking forward to read their own story.Susanne is an amazing heroine. She is like firework: fiery with gre...

Suzanne and Ryder Jefferson were first introduced as a divorced couple in Erin McCarthy's Flat-Out-Sexy. These two would snarl and verbally spar at each another, but underneath all their blustering, they still had feelings, or at least lust for one another. Now in Hot Finish, they're in the "hot seat", so to speak. Suzanne and Ryder are on friendlier terms, although Ryder wants Suzanne back as his wife and in his bed. Suzanne feels the opposite. She wants to be start a new phase in her life. Tha...

I was eagerly anticipating reading this book since the first in the series. I am a big fan of sarcastic humour so Suzanne is definitely a girl i would want on my team and loved every minute of reading this book.Every chapter was filled with witty humour that had my giggling in my head as well as laughing out loud. I don't want to drag on, so stating it simply.....THIS IS A MUST READ SERIES.So many favourite quotes so I will only name a few:"I cant hold it against the guy that he's marrying a wom...

Hot Finish: Steammmmmmy Five Star read that will have you racing to pick up another McCarthy bookIn all honestly, I am always late when it comes to great authors and great books. This is my first time reading a Erin McCarthy book and boy have I been missing out. I know its crazy that I jumped in on the third book, but I don't do chronological lol. What I love the most about this book was how comfortably fun it was. I laughed my ass off and loved all the characters , flaws and all. I sped through...

Originally read: June 2011Re-read: December 2015It was easy to see that Ryder and Suzanne belonged together, if only they had communicated the first time around they wouldn't have had to have so many years of heartbreak and pain.......Great story, well worth the time spent reading it at both the first and second time around.

2.5 STARSNot sure how to start this review. First I'll start by saying that I was extremely disappointed with this installment. I adored book 1, really enjoyed book 2 and just wanted to get over book 3 fast.I just never felt the love between this two. I could not enjoy a couple fighting all the time and trying to solve it later with sex. Also anything else between them just wrong, I never saw them behaving like a couple You could see it they loved each other and they could easily solve their pro...

The women hate is strong with this one.After sleeping on it, I realized I'm still spitting mad about this book and the heroine, and just saying fuck you Suzanne doesn't cut it.The heroine is weak, insensitive, manipulative, rude and just plain dumb. She never talks out her issues, never voices what's bothering her and expects everyone to read her mind. She's trying to start up a business as a wedding planner and the one client she has, she treats like dirt. Not to mention all the (in)discrete sk...

Ryder and Suzanne were frustrating at times, Suzanne more than Ryder. I wanted to scream at her. It felt like they just kept circling the pot and Suzanne wasn't willing to change until the very end. Very frustrating. Their bedroom scenes were smoking hot though.
