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.

Liezel’s Thoughts:
Have you ever read a book where you never wanted it to end? Racer was one of those books for me.
Lana Heyworth is the PR person for the family-owned F1 team which has been struggling for years. They should have called it quits months ago but for her father, Lana is determined as ever to find the right driver that will bring them closer to the championship. This doesn’t sound like an easy task at all but when she literally bumps into Racer Tate she immediately knows that it was meant to be.
Much to his father Remy’s disappointment, Racer Tate has been driving fast cars all his life as an illegal street racer and once Lana sees him in action cannot ignore his potential. Racer too cannot ignore their potential. Just like Remy and Brooke’s first encounter Racer also knew that Lana was going to be an important part of his life.
What was so great about this was Racer was going to do anything in his power to show Lana how worthy he was for his love. Racer was committed to doing things just to make her happy. I was mesmerized by his character who I thought was perfect but just like before he did have his flaws. At first, I thought Lana wouldn’t be able to accept him for it but everything ended as it should be.
I can’t tell you how satisfied I was with how their relationship flowed. She easily became his everything and vice verse. Even before they became a legitimate couple – the way they loved and cherished each other was spectacular. I couldn’t ask for a better pairing between these two.
What I also loved was how Katy Evans included the previous characters. I would say that the family aspect enhanced the story tenfold. Just the mere mention of those characters makes me want to go back and reread every single one of them all over again. This shows just how caught up I became.
Haven’t even begun the series yet? Read this book and you will discover how addictive the Real Series is. Just like me, you definitely will be clamoring for more!

Excerpt:
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.”
