I think the Gordon divorce was rife with cheating rumors. I am sure that Nascar racers act like many other athletes were the women are easy and plentiful.

Incidentally, don’t a lot of Nascar drivers cheat on their spouses with the groupies? Or was that just a vicious rumour?

Nascar has put some limits on these branded Harlequin books in order to maintain its family image: no booze, no drugs, no sex.

Hmm, I may just have to give them a miss. I like most motor sports, but no sex in a romance is just not my cuppa. If I wanted a book with no sex in it, I’d read a Brenda Coulter book. *g*

Nascar has put some limits on these branded Harlequin books in order to maintain its family image: no booze, no drugs, no sex. I find these limits to be a little patronizing and a bit hypocritical.
