CONTAINS SPOILERS
Having read the first two books which were excellent, the third book not so good I was hoping this book 4th in the series would get back to the high standard of the earlier books, how wrong was I. Evan and Kendall were together ten years ago, but had split due to a misunderstanding that was by anyone's standards pretty pathetic. Present day they are forced into talking to one another by Kendall's best friend Tuesday. There is not a great deal of plot to this book Evan and Kendall are both competitive as they are both race car drivers they disagree a lot they have a lot of sex, and there is not much more than that to the story, they get married and six days later Kendall gets a real surprise wedding present, when Sara ,Nikki's friend turns up and is five months pregnant with Evan's baby,So there he is with his brand new wife and another woman is expecting his baby who he promises to look after and support and in front of his new wife he even shows concern for the girls waif like figure and is worried she is not eating enough, understandably Kendall is pretty ticked off by all this even though Evan reassures her he loves her. Okay Kendall had finally agreed to support Evan. What possessed the author to throw this curveball into the story 50 pages from the end of the book defies logic, this was not what I was expecting to read. The ending was totally flat! Since writing this review I have received Erin mcCarthy's newsletter in which she comments on the controversy among readers with this book, she saids the pregnancy twist was introduced to test Evan and Kendall's relationship. What good would it do if Kendsll only remained with Evan if the baby eventually turned out not to be his. That is all well and good but that is not what happened here the pregnancy was introduced so near the end of the book! The situation was not then able to be fully explored within this book, may be an epilogue , might have been more helpful, as Kendalls turnaround in being angry to totally supporting Evan happened over just a few pages was totally unrealistic.

Unfortunately I read the reviews of this book on Amazon.com before I read the book. I admit it did put me off a bit. I agree that the reason Kendal and Evan split in the first place was a bit pathetic but then they were only 18. I do think the author could have had a better reason for their split.
After this, I did enjoy the story although not as much as books one and two (I wasn't keen on book 3). As for the twist at the end which seems to have annoyed some readers, I didn't mind it. In the teaser at the end of the book for Tuesday's story, it starts 4 months later at Evan and Kendal's Wedding. I am presuming that their issues have been resolved. Although readers state the end of this book is not a happy ending, I didn't feel this way. They have resolved their issues and what happened had happened before Evan and Kendal were together.
The book is romantic fiction, not real life. I think some reviewers should be aware of this when they leave their over the top reviews. I cannot explain more as I do not like to leave spoilers on reviews..
I would recommend to read this book and I look forward to Tuesday's story in the next book.

So far I have enjoyed the Fast Track series by Erin McCarthy but after reading the online reviews for The Chase I was bracing myself to be let down and I indeed was.
The story centres around two characters that were in love while teenagers, but, due to a pathetic misunderstnading break up. The characters predictably get back together when they are forced to work together on the motor racing circiut and have to break down barriers that could stop them being together.
I found the story lacking for a few reasons. The characters seemed to be quite petulent as both teenagers and adults, the renewal of their relationship seemed to take no effort, it was mearly a means to place a series of trails in the characters way stopping them from achieving happiness, but mainly the twist in the tail, that has been given away in another review, left me feeling quite empty at the end of the story. While I felt, especially in the world of sport and celebrity, it was a plausable storyline, it is not a twist I expect in this genre of book played out in the way it was. I was left feeling the characters would not achieve their happy ever after 5, 10, 15 years down the line, I began to imagine a life where the heroine in particular was never going to be truly happy which is not the feeling I like have at the end of book. I like my romance books, whatever their nature to leave smiling and this one did not. Maybe it was just not a story ready to be told and the characters needed to grow up a bit more first.
On a more positive note I enjoyed visiting with characters from previous books, it can be great to catch up with the people you met over a series.
Not enjoying this book will not stop me continuing to read the series but I hope the next book fits in with the series better and leaves me glowing.
