Title: Quarter Mile Hearts: An
American Muscle Novel
Author: Jenny Siegel
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 7, 2015
Following an accident injuring her dad, twenty-four
year old Leigh Storm returns home to the town she was once so desperate to
escape.
It is only a matter of hours before she runs into
Max 'Manwhore' Morgan. Dark eyed and
dangerous to her heart, he is the very last person she wants to see. It might
have been four years since she saw him last, but there's no denying the
chemistry between them is as potent as ever. Max makes it clear he isn't about
to let her run again, even if he is the one thing Leigh vowed to herself she
would never date: a street racer.
After racing tore apart her own family and left a
path of destruction in its wake, Leigh decided long ago that it is not the life
she wants for herself. But when a wager gone wrong threatens her dad's
livelihood, Leigh must go against everything she believes in.
This time there's more at stake on the quarter mile
that just the family business-She's risking her heart as well.

3.5 stars
In Quarter Mile Hearts, Leigh Storm is a young woman living
away from home and she is coasting through life. When her Dad is injured, she
goes home to be there for him and help with the family business. Coming home
brings her back into contact with Max, the sexy street racer she secretly
loves.
I liked both Leigh and Max, but I didn’t always understand
why they acted the way they did. I don’t know if I have forgotten what it’s
like to be 24 or 25, but there seemed to be lots of drama for the sake of drama
as they worked their way to being together. Max’s character is one that I
definitely liked more as I got to know him and he explained some of reasons
behind his actions and some things that were misconceptions.
The world of cars and street racing isn’t one
that I am familiar with and the author did a great job of introducing that
world in such a way that it was fun and not overwhelming. This was definitely a
good book, I just had a little bit of trouble relating to some of the
characters, but I honestly think it may have been my own frame of reference
that was part of the issue.
Jenny Siegel writes new adult
romance. When she's not writing (or entertaining two little terrors) Jenny is
glued to her Kindle, or plotting (also known as daydreaming) about hot tattooed
heroes that will sweep a girl off her feet.
