“We’re looking for someone with a little more experience.”
It’s the same everywhere I turn. No one wants a woman in the pit.
What they don’t understand is, I was practically born with a wrench in my hand. My five brothers all drivers, and my father a retired pit crew manager, taught me everything I know.
Snagging a coveted spot on Kye—THE HOTTEST GUY IN RACING—Kingston’s crew will be the chance I need to show everyone what I’m capable of.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but you need her.”
There were more qualified applicants sure, but my manager was right Berkleigh Shaw just might be the motivation that Kingston Racing needs to win.
She’s a spitfire covered in grease. And from the moment she stumbled into my arms the day we first met, I knew she’d be the added fuel to my flame. Both on and off the track.

When the finish line is in sight, LOVE is the only thing that will earn us the checkered flag.
TL Mayhew’s Qualify is an emotionally driven, sexy, contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Driven World.
My Thoughts:
Berkleigh wants to participate in the family business. Kye is a race car driver with a bad boy reputation. This story is a great representation of a woman trying to put a dent into a place where men rule. It also came out at the perfect time if you are NASCAR fan. I grew up in a family that would religiously watch the races so this gave me more of an indication on how a woman could fit into their world.
Our author does a great job at showing the passage of time without going into any great detail. The good thing is that you won’t feel as if you have missed anything. She gives the reader a couple that seem to have an instant connection. They happen to meet at a point where Berkleigh is having an issue with a very minor character. If you are someone who has an issue with triggers, that might be something to be mindful of.
One thing I liked was the fact that most of this story is from Berkleigh’s point of view. Kye has a voice as well but he takes something of a backseat as far as giving his thoughts on things. The author does a great job of immersing her readers into the racing world. Either she is a big fan or has done a lot of research to have everything seem so accurate - I can almost see and hear the cars going around the track now. Usually the only thing we see of the pit crew is when the racer comes into the pits. This story gives us a little more.
Ms. Mayhew did leave me hanging. Since we have families in the business, are we going to see said Shaw family members at some point? If so, the ending doesn’t give any of that away. I guess patience has become part of my future.
Meet TL Mayhew:
I'm a Contemporary and Dark Romance writer from Nebraska.
I have a son in college and one that says he's never going to college. I also have a cat who thinks its a dog and two dogs that actually are dogs.
My love for reading started back in elementary school when my favorite books, The Black Stallion, Black Beauty and Misty of Chincoteague all seemed to have one theme...a horse as the leading character. It's fair to say that since then my reading tastes have changed and now, instead of a horse as the leading character it's a hot alpha.
It wasn't until I married and had two kids, that I put any thought in to writing. Even then it was close to a year before any words were put on paper. And now, I have two self published books.
Please feel free to peruse my site, familiarize yourself with my books and maybe learn more about my personal existence.
