Test Drive

Come take a test drive! This story was fun and entertaining, sexy and sweet!! I loved Willow and Levi!! I smiled every time Willow would go on one of her one of her rants whenever she got nervous and how Levi would try to patiently get a word in. He was so sweet sticking up for her and always being her cheerleader when she was started to feel insecure. This is a “don’t miss” kinda story!

TEST DRIVE is the third instalment in Samantha Chase’s contemporary, adult ROAD TRIPPING romance series. This is bar owner Levi Sullivan, and dog walker / nanny Willow Andrew’s story line. TEST DRIVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Told from dual third person perspectives (Willow and Levi) TEST DRIVE follows the friends to lovers relationship between bar owner Levi Sullivan, and dog walker / nanny Willow Andrew. Willow Andrew is a bit of a klutz whose parents struggle with their daughter’s lack of direction in life. Several months earlier, Willow Andrew’s introduction to Levi Sullivan happened when Willow wiped out in front of Levi’s bar. With the approach of her Gammy’s 75th birthday, Willow is desperate as she has told her Gammy about a ‘boyfriend’ who doesn’t exist, a boyfriend whose name just happens to Levi Sullivan. Enter bar owner Levi Sullivan, and the man with whom Willow will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Willow and Levi, and the potential fall-out as a lie of omission threatens Levi’s relationship with the woman he loves. Willow Andrew believes Levi Sullivan is an overworked bartender and in this the conflict begins to unfold. Willow and Levi set out on a cross-country journey to attend Gammy’s 75th birthday, a journey that heightens our heroine’s anxiety with having to face her overly critical, professional parents. With Levi as a buffer, Willow is able to stand up to her parents but a return home forces Willow to face the truth including a secret Levi has kept to himself. The secondary and supporting characters are colorful, energetic and fun especially Willow’s seventy-five year old Gammy whose $ex life is more exciting than her struggling granddaughter’s. TEST DRIVE is a story of family and friendships, love and relationships, expectations, and disappointment. The premise is entertaining ; the characters are flirty and fun; the romance is passionate and sweet-the $ex scenes are all implied but Willow’s reaction to Levi’s ‘lie of omission’ was a bit over the top and didn’t warrant the reaction by our heroine’s BFFs.

Test Drive by Samantha Chase is the third book in the Road Tripping series. It is such a fun read, especially Gammy. I love fake boyfriend romance and when you throw in a knight in shimming armor like Levi you can't go wrong. I'm excited where this Road Trip will lead to next.
