His Libido Is In Sport Mode, But She's Set On Cruising Speed

Selling her dead husband’s super-sized Harley is traumatic, but bike shop owner, Kia Anders, knows she needs to let go of the past. The big bike in her garage hasn’t been ridden for a couple years now. It is no more than a symbol of her loss and reminds her of her own lack of usefulness.

When the very large, very excited Mikkel Gunnarsen arrives to buy it, his pleasure in the bike makes the decision to sell to the younger man much easier than she imagined it would be. The same is also true for the decision that ends with Mikkel spending the night in her bed.

Kia knows the blissful moments with Mikkel are only momentary relief, but being with the younger man is certainly inspiring.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Some books are harder to write than others. Even though I'm a show up and write every day author regardless of how I am feeling, no story is served well by forcing it out before it's time. So what do you do...?

I wrote the Cruising Speed novella for fans of the Art Of Love series. It was offered with love--and a bit of a writer's apology--for taking longer than I had hoped to write the next book in the series.

The novella cameos several of the Larson characters while introducing two sexy new ones that I think readers are going to enjoy.

YIPPEE! I LOVED THIS, EVEN THOUGH I WISHED IT WAS LONGER. I TOTALLY LOVE THE ART OF LOVE SERIES BUT I LOVED NEVER TO LATE, NEXT TIME AROUND,& DATING SERIES (also the one's that were single stand alones too).;D YES, IV'E READ THEM ALL, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONES. SMILE! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS, LOVE HER STYLE, STORY LINES & CHARACTERS ARE ALL GREAT. IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE SOME OF THE CHARACTERS FROM PREVIOUS BOOKS IN THIS ONE. IF I WAS FORCED TO CHOSE MY FAVORITE, IT WOULD BE SHANE & REESA'S STORY, HOTT-HOTT-HOTT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BOOKS, HOPE THEY ARE LONGER BUT I'LL TAKE'EM NO MATTER HOW LONG/SHORT THEY ARE. ;D

4.0 out of 5 stars big, sexy, bike riding hero...
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2017

A short read but still a good storyline. This heroine is 50, owns a bike shop, widowed, one grown son. He is 36, divorced, BIG, and has a good moral compass. He meets her to buy her husband's bike. It is really hard for her to sell it but once she sees him on it she knows the bike is for him. He is very attracted to her and doesn't have a problem with the age difference.

They go back and forth a little bit but he wins in the end --- or rather SHE WINS. He is a great hero and I really enjoyed their story. Short can be good when it gets the story told, is believable, and has a HEA. I found it very entertaining and I would definitely recommend it. I like bikes so I related to these characters. They are in a world of their own.

I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad :)
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014

it was ok....not a bad story but no my fave.... some stories can be annoying when it feels like
you have more internal dialogue than external dialogue...and then misunderstandings occur
simply because they spent more time talking to themselves than each other...
all that said I'd still recommend it to others :)

I liked this book for several reasons. It was a continuation of the Art of Love Series, which I enjoyed for the story lines and snappy dialogue. This story is no different. It intermingles couples/people that were in previous stories. This story also had an age difference, with the female being older with a 20 something "child". It expressed the female concerns... age, memory of her dead husband, her son, etc. Like previous stories, you also get the "male" perspective, which always makes the stories fun to read.

This book is a perfect addition to the series. It's a quick read for those of you out there trying to find time to read. If you have never read Donna's books, this would be a good one to start with. I recommend Donna's books, especially for older women, who are just starting back in the dating game, Older women and younger guys? Yep, a thing not done a lot in the past but hold on to your seats, when you cruise though the series.

Always loved this Art of Love series by Mc Donald. This short read wouldn't disappoint and it sure was nice to read of familiar characters from the previous books.
Big bikes, art and love. A good mix.

Mikkel Gunnerson is the prince we all dream we will meet. He may stutter at the beginning but he is "all in" in the end. This second chance at love for Kia is a happy escape for an afternoon.

A love short story, about a man that had just had his divorce finalized, and going out to buý a motor bike, as his wife had not liked him riding, but he missed the feeling.
The other half of the love duo, is a woman, whose husband had died two years ago, but had not as yet moved on with her life.
I won't go into further detail, as it is a great story, told by a skilled wordsmith.

Really enjoyed this quick read Novella.... Main character who lost her husband to a heart attack several years back & younger guy who is just getting over his divorce. They unexpectedly find each other through the purchase of a large item... And eventually hook up.
(I Was out recently to the theatre and actually met a couple sitting next to me, who met through different circumstances but this story remembered me of this real life couple... Very romantic and doesn't just happen in books! )
