Team rule number 1: Do NOT mess with our sponsor's fifteen-year-old daughter!

Young Alex Moretti is a budding superstar who drives for his father, Andy, a motorsport legend and now expanding team owner. The team had seemed to hit pay dirt when landing a lucrative multi-year sponsorship with Unibank, a major banking institution based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Just when Moretti Motorsport was advancing toward super team status and entering Formula 1, the sponsor relationship explodes when young Alex is involved in a serious car accident, injuring the bank CEO’s youngest teenage daughter, Amanda, suddenly unconscious in a Las Vegas hospital and aborting a six-to-seven week pregnancy.

Released from the team, Alex finds himself in motorsport exile and banned from any contact with Amanda while her father is hellbent on destroying the Morettis. While his own dad faces multi-million dollar lawsuits and bankruptcy, Alex himself is charged with statutory rape and suddenly finds his future resting in the hands of Ernest Flannery, an eccentric eighty-six-year-old southern lawyer.

After two years of scratching out any freelance ride he could muster, Alex finally gets a chance to resurrect his career, when Amanda is pressured to testify against him following new inculpatory evidence from their past relations. As both push back against their feuding fathers, their forbidden romance reaches climax while playing out in the courts, the press, and in the corporate suites and backstretch of the world’s largest motor race.

James Herbert Harrison, a native of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, has lived and worked throughout the continental United States as a businessman and industrial equipment and software sales representative. He currently resides in Olathe, Kansas with his wife, Maryna, and their fourteen-year-old son. James has an older son who remains in Cape Girardeau, as well as two older stepchildren. The family are active and proud members of Lenexa Baptist Church in Lenexa, Kansas.

James’ pedigree as a writer began ten years earlier with the publishing of his first novel. Quest For Power, a political thriller to be re-released as The Programmer. Miracle From Ukraine, a totally different departure in genre, was inspired by the real-life saga of James and Maryna having experienced many of the actual events in the story.

A lifelong motor racing enthusiast and avid collector of motorsport memorabilia, James’ novel "The Race Girl" is set around two racing meccas, Indianapolis and Charlotte, the first in a planned series on the saga of the Moretti racing family and their exploits, challenges, and tragedies competing in the world’s great motor racing series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic Sports Romance

This story was captivating and I finished it in less than a week. I saw many feelings of my own life experience in Amanda. The car racing was just interesting enough but not overwhelming for a person not into it. The courtroom drama was intense and kept me up late just to read what happened next. Love the writing style of this author.

I'm not a big reader of eBooks but the better half thought I would like this because I'm into racing. The author is obviously very knowledgeable about the sport and the stuff about the criminal trial kept me reading just to see what happens next. Can't wait to see a movie about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC READ
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024
“The Race Girl” is a book that truly deserves its 5 stars, so far one of my favorite books of the year for the way in which it manages to take us into the world of racing, along with a mix of romance, family drama, rivalries, and many challenges that our main characters will have to face.

From the first chapters you realize that we will encounter a whole network of relationships and ambitions. For me, one of the strong points of the story is the author's ability to delve deeper into the characters. On the one hand, we will meet the Moretti family, providing a deeper exploration of their legacy and the complexities that go beyond the race track. The rest of the cast of characters, each with their own dreams, fears, and struggles, you manage to get attached to them, in my case my favorite character was Amanda.

Alex Moretti, on the one hand, fights against the shadow of his father's legacy, creating conflicts on a personal and professional level. The challenges of fame, the negotiations, that whole corporate and legal side, along with the competitive nature of sports are an important part of the story.

The story has an addictive pace, you won't want to let go until you finish it, the pages fly by. There is a great balance between the dialogue and the description.
As the story develops, more secrets and tensions begin to emerge between the characters. Above all, the consequences of a traumatic event and the impact it will have on their lives.

For me, this book is great, I totally recommend it, especially if you want to enjoy a very well-written story, elaborated with drama, sports, fame, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible story!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2024
“The Race Girl” is a rollercoaster of a book that will get you hooked! James Herbert Harrison shows his knowledge of the racing world and does an incredible job bringing in areas and places from the real world to add to the depth and helps you to feel like you were experiencing the events in real-time. Although it is different writing style than I am used to reading, the author does well with building the backstory for the Moretti family and what led up to the forbidden romance of Alex and Amanda!

Throughout the book, you will be taken through viewpoints and perspectives from all characters which helps to build the entirety of the events and the toll the accident and the trial have on all parties involved. It is easy to relate with so many of the characters as they try to navigate the challenges that have been thrown at them; and even if you don’t understand or agree with the character’s actions, you can feel it. “The Race Girl” is a wonderful book and I would recommend to anyone that asked! I can’t wait to see what the sequel has in store for us in the next book of the Moretti family saga! 5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story with authentic racing setting
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
As a life-long open wheel racing fan, it was a pleasure to read a book that accurately describes the racing world. The author obviously know that world well.

Although having an authentic racing setting, the story has an engaging story line with twists and turns along the way. You feel for the characters as they deal with the trouble in which they are embroiled.

I enjoyed this book a lot and look forward to the next chapter in the Moretti race family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating story
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024
Author James Herbert Harrison takes readers on a captivating journey into the exhilarating and cutthroat world of motorsports, combined with the intense drama of corporate power plays. I was particularly drawn to how the novel intertwines racer Alex Moretti's personal upheaval following a disastrous accident and the broader machinations of wealth and influence. Harrison adeptly navigates through themes of family legacy, corporate ambition, and the tumultuous fallout of a forbidden romance, all set against the backdrop of the high-octane racing world. The escalating tension as Alex strives to reclaim his career and confront the vengeful schemes of Amanda's father is particularly gripping, showcasing the author's flair for suspenseful storytelling. The vivid racing descriptions transported me right into the heart of the action, feeling every bit of the adrenaline and intensity. The characters are deeply relatable, each wrestling with moral quandaries and the weighty consequences of their choices. The romance between Alex and Amanda adds a heartfelt and complex dimension to the narrative, highlighting the personal stakes amidst the larger drama. What I thoroughly enjoyed was Harrison's masterful blend of action, suspense, and complex plot development. The narrative is a rollercoaster of high-speed pursuits, covert maneuvers, and shocking twists that kept me hooked from beginning to end. The dramatic culmination of events, both on the racetrack and in the spheres of law and business, makes for a riveting climax.
The Race Girl is a splendidly crafted tale that weaves together action, intrigue, and romance in a compelling package. It's a novel that engages and entertains, perfect for anyone who loves a story that accelerates from zero to thrilling in no time.
