TITLE: Love and an (Orange) Lamborghini
AUTHOR: M.A Ford
PUBLISHER: Dreamspinner Press
LENGTH: 38 pages
BLURB: Freelance journalist Will Turner is struggling both financially and emotionally since being dumped by his boyfriend. While his sports car obsessed roommate, Niki, is busy leaving notes for the female owner of a Lamborghini Gallardo parked in their area, Will takes a last-minute assignment to interview a sportsman. The attraction between Will and racing driver Tim Johnson is instant, but Tim is unwilling to risk his career by coming out. Niki has big plans for Valentine’s Day, but it will take a near miracle for any of them to find happiness.
A part of the “A Valentine Rainbow” set of 14 holiday stories
REVIEW:
This is a short, sweet story. We see Will filling in for a colleague and going to interview racing driver Tim, not knowing anything about him or being prepared in any way.
His honesty is heartwarming and refreshing for Tim and there is something cooking there from the start but Will wonders if Tim is even gay.
During the “interview” they both seem to feel that connection but Tim being a race driver cannot risk coming out or at least that’s what he believes.
This is not the only connection in this short story, believe it or not. There is also Niki, Will’s roommate who has the hots for an “Orange” Lamborghini and its supposedly female driver.
While Tim decides that he’s not willing to take the risk, Niki decides that he is.
All these things finally get resolved and end in a lovely valentine ending that I don’t want to go in detail about as it would spoil this story and it is already short 🙂
Lets just say it involves Niki, a lady, Tim and Will, orange Roses, a card and an orange Lamborghini 😉

The title is very catchy and would be enough for me to take a look.
Thanks for the review. Sounds good. 🙂
This sounds like it would make a wonderful full length novel!
Orange roses, orange Lamborghini, I’m wearing an orange (and blue) shirt a la Denver Broncos (go, team, go!)… Definitely an orange-y day today! 🙂
You caught me with the promise of a lovely valentine ending…how to resist???
Sounds like a fun story….love race car drivers!
It’s put a smile on my face already!
This sounds fun! I’ve never seen an orange Lamborghini – do they even make them in that color 😉 Thanks for the great review and chance to win a copy.
Sounds like there might be a twist in this short story somewhere. I do so love a good sports story too.
This has a really romantic feel to it. 🙂
