Season of Speed — Doug Solter

Is she brave enough to win it all? On a dark and rainy highway, sixteen-year-old Samantha drove the car that killed her dad. Convinced she was spared for a reason, Samantha dedicates her life to becoming what her dad always planned her to be, a racing champion. The owner of a Formula One team decides to take a huge chance on her.

Manny doesn't like to make waves. His uncle owns the racing team, but the crew teases the boy like one of their own. Even the team manager orders him around like an intern. But that's okay. The boy loves racing and dreams of one day designing his own racing cars.

But then Samantha came into his life. That spirited American girl who can make a 720 horsepower race car dance on a track. That girl who's not afraid to tell the team boss to go kick himself. That girl who fights for a place on the team and never quits. She's amazing.

But Ferrari legend Emilio Ronaldo isn't impressed with Wolert Porsche's new "experiment" in racing. He's an eight-time world champion. The best of the best. A driver with no equal. This man will not let a teenage girl take away what's always been his.

To become world champion, Samantha must take on Spa, a race track nestled in the lush Belgian forest known as the Ardennes. A race track with speeds reaching over 200 miles per hour. A race track notorious for killing race car drivers.

Winning will make Samantha a legend.

Losing will prove to the world that girls don't belong in race cars.

Season of Speed is the first book in a young adult racing romance series that features well-developed characters, an amazing plot, and a strong heroine with spunk. If you like a character-based novel full of action with a sweet and believable relationship, then you'll love the first installment in Doug Solter's totally original series.
