Slingshot Moves
NASCAR spotter Steve Grosso and veterinarian Heidi Kramer are…well, perfect together. But Heidi wants something she can't have with Steve—stability. Joining Steve on the NASCAR circuit will mean abandoning her career and the chance to open her own clinic. So Heidi faces a decision with no easy answers.…
But Steve makes his living by seeing spaces and maneuvering room where others see none. If he works with his family—who have been part of the NASCAR lifestyle for generations—maybe he can convince Heidi that home isn't one static place on the map. Because sometimes the only way to get ahead is to gamble—and risk everything for that one perfect opportunity.…

Slingshot Moves by Anna Schmidt
Harlequin NASCAR Library
Secrets And Legends Series Book 5
Steve Grosso is the spotter for his NASCAR cup champion cousin, Kent. He was just offered a full time position with Maximus Motorsports and can finally move ahead with plans for his future. A future that he hope includes his beautiful girlfriend. Somehow in a few weeks time his smooth flowing life and bright looking future has just turned into a ten car pile up.
Dr. Heidi Kramer loves her career as a Veterinarian. She has planned to go into a partnership with her boss. Heidi needs stability in her life. Growing up she was moved from place to place with her dads job and she saw her mom go downhill after she gave up her career to follow her husband. No way was Heidi going down that path. Only now she is faced with the choice of going with Steve on the road or holding onto her dreams of staying in one place. Is home truly where the heart is?
The Grosso’s are a gregarious bunch of folks but you don’t want to get on their bad side. Characters the reader has met from the previous books return. Things are still not going well with Sophia’s family accepting Justin as the Grosso/Murphy feud continues….both on and off the track. There is still a blackmailer out there from Kent’s story as well. The next book in the series is Peak Performance, with Rachel Murphy, Justin’s sister. More action ahead.

I like NASCAR, I like Harlequin. I've really liked the other Harlequin NASCAR books I've read, even the freebie. This book just didn't live up to some of the other authors I've read.
The characters are not remotely engaging. They don't communicate with each other. The heroine, for a Veterinarian, was quite a bit on the TSTL side. She came off as whiney and manipulative.
I'm one that usually starts and finishes books quickly. I rarely leave a book completely unread and I did read this all the way to the end but it took a LONG time to finish.
I read to enjoy. I'm not usually worried about the complexity of the grammar or anything. I want engaging characters that jump off the page and a lovely HEA. Not so much with this book.
The background cast (the Grosso Family) were so much more engaging to me. I loved Juliana and Miles. I could have lived without Steve and Heidi.

When you pick up the NASCAR books you need to remember you're reading Harlequin. Nothing really bad is going to happen and after a little turmoil, the boy will get the girl and everybody will live happily ever after. In spite of that, this was a totally charming little tale that manages to include what is, for me, the best part of the NASCAR season - the Allstar Race, the Memorial Day 600 race and the Dover race that follows.
A fun read.
