BOOK REVIEW: "Quarter Mile Hearts" by Jenny Siegel

Title: Quarter Mile Hearts: An American Muscle Novel

Author: Jenny Siegel

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 7, 2015








Synopsis

Following an accident injuring her dad, twenty-four year old Leigh Storm returns home to the town she was once so desperate to escape.

It is only a matter of hours before she runs into Max ‘Manwhore’ Morgan. Dark eyed and dangerous to her heart, he is the very last person she wants to see. It might have been four years since she saw him last, but there’s no denying the chemistry between them is as potent as ever. Max makes it clear he isn't about to let her run again, even if he is the one thing Leigh vowed to herself she would never date: a street racer.

After racing tore apart her own family and left a path of destruction in its wake, Leigh decided long ago that it is not the life she wants for herself. But when a wager gone wrong threatens her dad’s livelihood, Leigh must go against everything she believes in. 

This time there's more at stake on the quarter mile than just the family business—she’s risking her heart as well.

MY REVIEW:

While many components to this book were of the "typical" romance variety, there were elements of this book that made things different, including the attitude of the lead, Leigh, and the ways in which she and Max meet. I love the racing, and the determination Leigh shows.
While this book had great romance scenes, truly 5-star worthy, it also had very deep characters I really liked and felt like I knew. Certain moments had my heart in a twist as I read, and rarely does that happen.
I am now a Jenny Siegel fangirl! (And okay, a Max fangirl, too; he is a new book boyfriend for sure!)

4.5/5--great, exciting romance!
