NASCAR: Family Secrets Book 6
No Ordinary Man by Abby Gaines
Eli Ward was given ultimatums from his boss and sponsor. Stop with the women and partying or he’d lose his sponsor and then his ride. Fine he’d get a new ride somewhere else besides Double S Racing. In the meantime the little sparrow who came to give him a message from the track office could be useful. A pretend girlfriend for this weekend to keep the female fans away and make it look like he took his bosses advice to find a steady girlfriend. Who knew that the feisty little Jennifer Ashby would so quickly see the real Eli. And still like him.
Daisy Chain by Marisa Carroll
Daisy Brookshire is scared. She’s pregnant and the father is dead but his wealthy family is threatening to take the baby away when it’s born. She has the support of the Tuesday Tarts but needs more. That help comes in a surprising package. Quinn Parrish is the step-brother and he wants to help Daisy and protect her from his step-father. Opening his home to the mother and baby is one thing it’s quite another thing that Quinn finds himself opening his heart as well.
Hilton Branch continues to write in his journal while in prison. Feeling helpless behind bars without the power and money he was use to wielding, Hilton continues to worry about his family. He had told them he needs to talk to them but unforgiveness keeps them away. He has to warn them how deep he was in trouble and that those people are coming after them as well.

I'd give the first story closer to 4 stars, but the second - though it certainly had potential - barely 3. Quick read though.
