The Music City Rollers series by Elicia Hyder is set against the rough-and-tumble backdrop of Nashville roller derby. The first book, Lights Out Lucy, introduces readers to a heroine who joins a roller derby team and finds more than just bruises waiting for her on the track. The series mixes the physical comedy and toughness of derby with romantic storylines that have real warmth to them.
Britches Get Stitches continues the fun with another member of the team taking center stage. Hyder writes with a breezy, entertaining style that keeps things light even when the drama heats up. The roller derby setting gives the series a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from other contemporary romances.
Fans of Elicia Hyder’s other work, especially her Soul Summoner series, may be surprised by the shift in genre here, but her talent for strong female characters and sharp dialogue carries over nicely. The two books can be read as standalones, though reading them in order gives a better feel for the team and its members.
