Watching sex tapes at the office is just part of PR professional Vivian Blake's job, especially when she has to clean up a celebrity's image. Except that her newest client isn't quite that easy. Racecar driver Jarod Cage is beyond hot, and his onscreen “performance” is already compromising Viv's cool professionalism.

While Jarod hasn’t exactly been discreet about his personal life, he never thought his reputation could cost him both his sponsor and his racing career. Now he has to put his future in the hands of a tiny, pixie-like publicist. Which is becoming a problem, because the heat between them is about to redline. But when you go this hard and fast, putting on the brakes is the most dangerous thing you can do...

My Thoughts:

Loved this! I jumped into it and found a really intriguing story--one with a story line following a NASCAR driver and the PR girl who's trying to straighten out his image. I thoroughly enjoyed the racing aspect. It was unique and added to my interest in the book.

Vivian and Jarod don't get off to the greatest start. She's bad-mouthing him on the phone, making him unsure whether he can trust her to help him. After a little bit of sexual tension and some getting-to-know-you, they fall into some sensual moments together. Unfortunately, Vivian's attitude about the sport that is his life creates some more friction between them. As time goes by, Jarod teaches her about his love of racing and she begins to understand. Their chemistry never stops and eventually things are heating up again, and it seems that it might include more than just physical attraction.

Caught was an absolutely sexy and compelling book! I loved the dynamic between Vivian and Jarod and how it developed over the weeks they spent together. The romance was hot AND sweet and I couldn't get enough. The best part was that while the book was insanely sexy, there was a lot of heart. So much love for this book! Can't wait to read more by Clare James!
