Review: For me, wasn't as good as the first one

This 2nd book in the series had a different feeling for me.  Here, the opposites attracting are a high class event planner and a vintage car restorer who also likes to get down and dirty with motocross racing.  I think it was too much of opposites.  I think if the hero had been a Formula 1 race car driver, that would have been enough opposite and there would have been some level of commonality with running at the highest echelons of one's profession.  Or maybe I needed to read more scenes where the hero/heroine discover more about each other on a personal (not lust) level - such as in the first book where the hero notices and admires the heroine's ingenuity and spunk at getting furniture, handling customers and teaching him social skills and she in turn notices how considerate/thoughtful he is as well as being modest about his impressive brain power.  I guess that's what I missed in this book, the wonderful discovery of what a person is like on the inside - I didn't see them discovering that in each other although you do read side scenes with other minor characters so you get a more complete picture of them.I don't know anything about motocross racing, but the author convinced me she did her homework on the sport.  Dunlop also writes very realistic conversation between her characters and describes scenes well.  So, more based on the strength of the first book in this series, I will purchase the 3rd, hoping it is more like the 1st.
