Annabelle has always wanted to be a part of the Hart team. Her longtime crush on Grady Hart is all coming back to her now, especially when Grady is still as handsome as ever. Grady is so glad sexy Annabelle is back in town. He’s always had a thing for her, but will he be able to work up the nerve this time around?

I loved Shifting Gears! The hero and heroine played off each other’s strengths and that was so appealing to me. They made the perfect team, even though they each had self esteem issues, but they totally complimented each other. The racing aspect for the plot added fun and excitement to this romance and kept me speeding through each page (lol)! I loved how comfortable Grady and Annabelle were with each other sexually, even while they lit each other’s bodies on fire. Grady’s protectiveness was sexy and always makes for a great hero in any romance. Ms. North has brought us an awesome romance series and I’m all for more, more, more! 5 Stars! ( )

Self-esteem and success are what both Annabelle Murray and Grady Hart want and they will have to overcome their insecurities, be assertive, take on people that are difficult, and move forward with purpose to create the future they desire both as individuals and as a couple. While working toward their goals both Annabelle and Grady will have to deal with the steamy hot attraction they feel for one another – an attraction they both felt but never acknowledged years before.

Thank you to NetGalley and Saint Martin’s Press for the copy of this book to read and review. ( )

Interesting story. Annabelle has always done what she was supposed to do, she was a good girl, perfect wife. But she still ended up divorced, not a cent to her name and living back at her moms. She needs to get her life in order and not have to live by her parents standards anymore, do what she want's to do. Then she meets up with Grady again and her secret feelings for him have not changed one bit.

Grady Hart has great respect for his mother and when he arrives at her home for help and finds Annabelle there he's surprised, he'd not seen her since she got married, but his feelings for her hadn't changed at all, and when he discovers she's a great mechanic, Grady decides that Annabelle might be just right for Hart Racing and for him.

Great entertainment. Interesting characters and great racing action. ( )
