What a cute story this was!
Finn and Lancey have known each other from growing up. Both are back in Last Stand Texas. Lancey for good, to help take care of her nephew, who is also Finn’s nephew.
Finn and Lancey see each other again at a bar in town, his family's bar, and they hit things off.
They decide to have a one night stand, and Finn had to leave to go back to the racing circuit.
Lancey needs to keep her head clear to take care of Lane.
Finn tries to go back to racing, but a medical situation leaves him watching from the sidelines.
Can he race again? Does he let Lancey in on what is happening?
Can they make things work with Lane, and him racing?
Does Finn know what to do without racing?

Some of my fave quotes:
1. He'd already decided he was going home with Lancey, so he wasn't flirting. - I love that he had made his mind up! LOL!
2. "Good. Let's get back to getting naked." he said. - Finn knows what he wants. LOL!
3. Their eyes met and she suddenly relaxed she'd found what she'd been missing- her other half. - Lancey found it finally! She found that missing piece.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity to read and review one of your titles. Unfortunately, this title didn’t work for me and I have chosen not to review it.

Please also let me extend my apologies for this being so incredibly late (as I am guessing it’s more than obvious I didn’t review at this point) as I like to hold negative or DNF reviews until a title is no longer available on NetGalley, and sometimes posting once it has been archived slips my mind.

I am a huge fan of this author! I have read quite a few if her books/series and I absolutely love her writing. They are always fun romance stories. This book is a quick read if you are looking for a quick captivating story!

I did not realize this was part of a series, so I missed the first book in it but it did not diminish my reading experience. Finn and Lancey are both a little lost following tragedy and life changes; but they find each other when they need to the most. It was a nice story although it felt rushed. It seemed like there was definitely an undercurrent of an anger management disorder that needed more addressing and professional help than was mentioned here. And the love aspect seemed very hurried. Still, it was enjoyable and fun.

I received this arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is the second book in the Dangerous Delaneys series. I have read both books and loved them. This is a Last Stand Texas Book about the 3 Delaney brothers. We learned in book 1 that during the big birthday party, a truck crashed into the tour bus and Rose, the Delaney sister died along with T.J. Maverick, her baby daddy. The Delaneys are know as outlaws due to their past relatives history. Book 2 is about Finn Delaney and Lacey Maverick. All of Rose’s brothers and TJ’s site share custody of their son Lane, but he lives with Lancey.

Lancey has left the military to return to Last Stand to care for her nephew. Finn is a nascar driver that has learned he has a serious condition with a blood clot in his leg. He has been pulled from his schedule. The two meet at the local saloon and end up having a one night stand. Neither is happy as they felt they wanted more. Neither character wants to remain in Last Stand blue diuemto their circumstances it appears to be fate.

Lancey thought of her female ancestors as being left behind and she wants more. She realizes she wants the husband and kids in addition to Lane. She spends time with Finn and realizes she loves him. Finn resists getting involved or tied down and didn’t want to stay in Last Stand until he spends time with Lancey and realizes that his racing career is over. He too realizes he loves Lancey.

I enjoyed watching the characters grow and mature and also adapt to the changes they face. Such a great book. I look forward to the third book and already am guessing who Bray will end up with.

Someone is messing with Ethan and his family is worried. They hire the best to protect him without his knowledge. Her cover is suppose to be his new restaurant manager. Pascale has protected royalty, but never a man she once loved. Being a professional and all, she's got this. When Ethan meets his new manager he can't believe his eyes. The one woman who broke his heart is literally standing in front of him and now working for him. What does this mean? A second chance? Closure? Adventure? Good read.

Full Texas Throttle by Katherine Garbera
He’s always left small towns and women in his rearview mirror… until he meets her
NASCAR driver Finn Delaney has cultivated a bad boy image and rakish charm that has served him well on the track and with the media. But now sidelined by a wreck that may have ended his career, Finn feels lost and vulnerable. A quick hook up with sexy military hero Lancey Maverick seems like a perfect opportunity to press his reset button and regain his mojo.
Finn lights more than a spark with his sexy smile and arrogant confidence, but Lancey’s had her fill of boy-men who don’t take life or their responsibilities seriously. She’s only in town to settle her brother’s affairs. A hook up with Finn, no matter how hot, is ill advised. But Lancey’s never played it safe.
Both Finn and Lancey are at a career and life crossroads. A summer fling looks like it could lead to something more, but can Finn learn to stay when life gets hard, and can Lancey learn to trust and accept the feelings of a man who lives in the fast lane?
this is Lancey and Finn Delaney's story.
She couldn’t help it. She might be a good girl and a rule follower, but in her secret heart, she’d always wanted to be with one.
But her opportunities were slipping away. She’d returned to Last Stand to share custody and help raise her orphaned nephew, Lane. That didn’t leave a lot of
Lancey saw him slide into the booth near the back of the saloon, across from her old friend Red Aldean
So, when Finn caught her eye and crooked his little finger at her, beckoning her closer to his table in the corner, she decided to go for it, to do something that would make her feel good. Finn was a rolling stone. He wouldn’t want anything beyond a night, which made him the perfect guy to get a little crazy with. He’d leave and she’d settle into her new small-town life, just like every Maverick woman before her. Raising the next generation and living life on her their own terms.
“Lancey, dang girl, you look good tonight. I think I’ve gotten so used to seeing you in fatigues with your hair pulled back that I forgot you were a woman.”
She gave him the finger, took his low-ball glass full of tequila on the rocks and sat down next to Red Aldean, instead.

Finn is all about living in the fast lane. Until an injury puts his feet firmly on the ground. Who is Finn Delaney? If he isn't a Nascar driver. Lancey is a milatary hero. Until her brother died in a car accident. Now she is living the civillan life looking after her nephew Lane. Both characters are dealing with the loss of a family member. Plus bringing up a grieving little boy. Life is about to get very complicated.
Full Texas Throttle is about coming home, new beginngs. Part of a series. Best read in order.
Recommended for fans of contemporary and small town romance.
ARC recieved from Net Galley in exchange for a honest review.

This the first book I’ve read in the Last Stand series by Katherine Garbera.

I enjoyed learning more about the main characters through each chapter and fell in love with them all.

This was a very easy read - short and sweet.

Finn Delaney and Lancey Maverick have known each other for years but tragedy has been them in closer proximity than ever - and sparks fly. Neither has been looking for love with careers that make relationships challenging (Finn is a NASCAR driver and Lancey served in the military) but the deaths of Finn’s sister and Lancey’s brother, who leave behind an orphaned young boy for the Delaney and Maverick families to raise changes everything. Both are looking at the end of their careers - Lancey because she needs to come home to care for her nephew and Finn because of a potentially life threatening condition if he continues to drive. Their connection quickly becomes more than chemistry as they find they can be more honest with each other and lean on each other more than anyone else - but the struggle to get there is mighty as they face upheaval in their lives.

I absolutely loved this book. As usual Katherine Garbera gave us a story that we would be a book that you cannot put down.

There are authors who make me see their characters as real people with true issues, heartbreak, and eventual recovery, Katherine Garbera is one of them (and frankly many of those authors write for Tule Publishing). My heart broke for so many characters when we started the connecting set of series that make up the Last Stand, Texas line. Now we’re beginning to see how some of the family members have been affected by that tragedy.

FULL TEXAS THROTTLE brings us two unique people who are both suffering a loss, are at loose ends because of that and other events in their lives. Nothing happens in a vacuum, so to see Lancey and Finn have to deal with far more than the loss of their sibling brings in the heartache factor. Neither is looking for that happy ever after that they do not believe in. But for the moment the sizzling attraction between them and one sweet little one is enough – but can they make that feeling last for a lifetime? That will take work, risk, trust, and love – finding that is the challenge. The attraction is the easy part, changing attitudes is the hard part.

I cried happy and sad tears throughout this story. Got annoyed a few times as well. But that’s what makes a really good story, one that makes me feel, allows me into a world that is realistic in every sense. I had a blast with FULL TEXAS THROTTLE and would not hesitate to recommend it or any story or series that is part of the overall Last Stand, Texas unique world. Your emotions will be fully engaged – and that my reading friend is a good thing.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

I thought that this story was really good!

The characters were well developed and I thought that they worked really well togethers.

I did think that at times there was a little too much detail added in to the story which split the natural flow that the author had worked on but it was still a great read.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, I thought it was a thoroughly enjoyable story!

this was fun to read and now I need to read the first one - their fast track to a relationship and ready made family is something that is easy to relate to

I have read a few stories about race car drivers in the last few years and this is an outstanding story. You have Finn, who is cocky and a bit of a bad boy, but it is different when it comes to his nephew and our heroine. Great story.

I found this an enjoyable read. The characters were engaging, and the story line was okay, but it didn't grab me. There was numerous typos, it needs better editing.
So overall an average 3* read.
