Review: Bumper Cars
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 06 28, 2013
This is the story of Timothy Santos and Rose Renwick.  It is a complicated story.  One that I could never truly wrap my head around.Timothy is an undercover officer.  He is hot as hell.  A total alpha male, with a lot of attitude.  I usually love that in a romantic hero, but somehow Timothy just fell a little shy of my book boyfriend list.He is in a motorcycle gang, working to bring down part of the cartel. Timothy has been working this case for a while, when he loses contact with his informant.  He knows he needs help, and there is only one person he can ask.  His ex-girlfriend.Rose Renwick is the local sheriff. To say that she wasn't happy to see him would be an understatement.  Honestly, it seemed like she would rather shoot Timothy than look at him.  From what I gather, he deserved her hatred.Rose and Timothy are still attracted to each other.  You know what they say about love and hate.  Well, that is definitely true here.  There was so many "issues" between the two that I was never really sure which emotion was stronger.This book was like riding bumper cars.  You never know when you are going to get hit next, but you know its coming.  You can only hope the hit wont be too hard.  Well let me tell you, in this book all the hits are hard.  In fact, every hit gets harder and harder.This book is graphic, but that did not bother me.  However, I wish more time had been spent on the romance.  It seemed to be more of an action (thriller/mystery) book than a romance. I wasn't expecting that.I hated the ending.  I marked it as a cliff hanger, because the story continues to the next book.  But, some of the things did get worked out.  I honestly felt that all of the issues could have been wrapped up.  I don't think this story needed to continue.  It just need a few more pages and some creative "fix its".Would I recommend it?  That depends.  If you are looking for something exciting that is not romance driven then yes.  If you are looking for a romance with a lot of excitement then no.Review for Netgalley
