Publisher's summary

Kendall Moore has given up hope.

As a labor and delivery nurse, she covets the joy and love she sees every day in expectant couples. When she met the owner of the local race shop, Kendall finally felt that spark. She thought he did, too.

But he never called.

Logan Townsend is a man whose skills are unparalleled. With so many people vying for the racing guru’s attention, Logan doesn’t have much free time to himself. But he knows he needs to find some. Because he can’t stop thinking about the woman who gave him the best night of his life.

Just as Kendall decides to move on, Logan reappears.

Try as she might to resist the temptation, Kendall fails. Because with a man like Logan, it’s hard to control the burn.

In a nutshell: She's a nurse longing for love. He's a man who lives life in the fast lane. Conflicting schedules and stubborn personalities lead to misunderstandings and disputes. But sizzling chemistry keeps them coming back for more. Action and adventure abound in this small town sports romance series with fast cars, feisty women, and men who know how to use their hands.

Logan is a good man to work so hard for Kendall’s love

Logan is the man we all wish to have. Loving, committed and willing to do whatever he has to to get the girl. Kendall was a little bratty and made him work a little too hard for her love. She came around and realized the error of her ways…and Logan was a sweetheart to wait her out. Not many men would. Narrators were great!

So good!!!

One of my favorite things in reading a series is that you can see the continuation of other characters through the series.. love that we got to find out what happened to Kendall and Logan.. and love that I can listen to the story and fold laundry or dishes as I tend to get lost on stories when I start reading ..

Logan and Kendall

I love the great start to this series with Logan and Kendall's love story. Add to it an insiders look at the drag racing industry and how the cars are built and it is an engaging story for those looking for something different than the usual romance. Logan and Kendall meet and sparks fly. He promises to call, but doesn't for over a month. When he finally calls, she isn't sure she can trust him. Logan goes to great lengths to win her trust. A good story where the couple work hard to overcome miscommunication and learn to trust and love each other. Aaron Shedlock and Allison Barnes did an excellent job bringing Logan and Kendall to life via voice.

A little disappointed

I love A.K. Evans, I have read all her books. Kendall, for me, was overly dramatic and too stubborn. I wish she was a little bit less bratty. She tortured poor Logan the played victim. To me, her character could have been better. Overall, the book was good. The narrators were great.

An ok story

In this first audiobook of the new series , the main characters made an appearance in the author’s series Cunningham Security.
Kendall Moore is a labor and delivery nurse who while enjoying a visit to the local pub, meets birthday “boy” Logan Townsend, owner of a racing car garage.
Their first meeting was and night was explosive. His promise to call her never occurred. She assumed he had ghosted her while in fact he had left town and accidentally left her phone number behind.
When she’s started dating, he reappears and thus starts the start and stop relationship.
I have to confess that though I enjoyed Logan, I never warmed up to Kendall. That said , the narrators Aaron Shedlock and Addison Barnes did a great delivery with the narrations.
Though for this listener it was more of a 3.5 stars, I gave it 4 stars since I truly believe the author is very talented. Case in point, her entertaining security series are amongst my favorites.
I was entrusted a copy of this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Logan and Kendall

This first book in the Hearts and Horsepower series is awesome! Aaron Shedlock does an incredible job portraying Logan and Addison Barnes portraying Kendall. The narrators make the audio so realistic and believable and these two do an incredible job. I have read this series and loved it but hearing Aaron and Addison just adds a whole new layer of excitement!
Logan and Kendall met on Logan's birthday and literally had one night together but you can feel in the air that there were instant chemistry and attraction between them both. The next day Logan leaves with a promise to reach out. Well, things happened and he was pulled out of the country for a month and had no way to get in touch with her. His hope is to reach out and explain to her what happened and they pick back up where they left off.
Kendall was really excited waiting for Logan, they really hit it off but he didn’t call. She waited, and waited, even turned down dating opportunities thinking Logan would reach out but then she decides, he isn’t going to and she needed to go on with her life.
Logan and Kendall have to work through many areas of their relationship to get their HEA and we know they will! AK Evans did an incredible job with this series and I can’t wait to listen to the next one!

Logan and Kendall’s story starts off a new series

We’ve heard of Kendall and Logan before as minor side characters from other AK Evans story. It was nice to have 2 minor side characters come together to start out this series. The narrator’s were able to truly bring out the characters personalities. I’ve read the story before when it first came out and this time listened to the audio version. Kendall is just as high maintenance as she was in written form only with the narration it was intensified. Glad the story worked out in the end because Logan truly is a sweet guy!!

Instant Attraction

Kendall meets Logan in a bar while out with friends. After a one night together, Logan doesn’t call and Kendall assumes the worst of him. A month later Logan calls, leaves voicemails, and even notes on her car. He’s determined to explain the huge misunderstanding to Kendall, but will she give him the chance?
This story really goes to show how even the smallest miscommunications can leave someone feelings unwanted and make a small issue into a huge issue. Even though at times Kendall is a little too needy and not understanding of Logan’s demanding career, Logan is determined to find a way to lessen his work load to give Kendall all the time and attention she needs.
The narrators were amazing to listen to and really showed the true personalities of Kendall & Logan.
