The Fast Track series by Erin McCarthy is set in the high-octane world of professional stock car racing. The series begins with Flat-Out Sexy, where a widowed mother of two finds herself attracted to a rookie driver half her age. Each subsequent book follows a different couple connected to the racing circuit, from drivers and crew chiefs to the women who work in and around the sport.
McCarthy uses the racing backdrop to create stories that pair adrenaline with romance. The heroines range from a graduate student researching drivers to a public relations manager trying to keep a reckless racer in line. The series balances steamy scenes with genuine emotion, and the racing details add a distinctive flavor that sets these books apart from typical contemporary romance.
The nine books were published between 2008 and 2014, with The Promise of Love serving as a shorter novella bridge between the main novels. Recurring characters and interconnected storylines give the series a strong sense of community, making it a satisfying read from start to finish.
