From the Back Cover:
Can bitter rivals come to love each other? Fighting deep prejudice against her femininity, her choice of vehicle, and even her heritage, Camara Cole is determined to win the mud-bog racing championship this year. Her biggest competition seems also to be her worst enemy. Chase Lamar has been racing mud-boggers as long as Camara, and he grudgingly admits she's the best driver-mechanic he knows. Their rivalry has been long and bitter. But Chase is a new Christian. As he begins to change, he finds his relationship with Camara changing, too. When Camara's vehicle is sabatoged, she naturally blames Chase, despite a growing attraction. Chase must prove his innocence, but evidence points his way. When the smoke clears and the truth is known, will each be able to extend forgiveness, maybe even love?

From the Back Cover:
Furious with God, Olivia Roseman vows to never trust Him again. Why should she? Once again her prayers have gone unanswered, and once again another loved one has been ripped from her. With no job and only a few dollars, Olivia makes a choice to start over again. Without God and without love. However, her handsome new boss isn't going to make forgetting God or keeping her vow to never love again very easy.
Erik Cole questions the sanity of moving from Swamper City, Alabama to Charity, West Virginia. That is, until he hires airbrush designer Olivia Roseman to paint his monster truck. When he senses that she’s a gal who is down on her luck, he vows to do whatever he can to help her. Only problem is, the little beauty creates more challenges than one. As his feelings toward her deepen, all Erik can do is hope and pray that one day Olivia will open up her heart to Christ—and to him.
Reviews:
There is a strange prickling at the nape of the neck when you feel the eerie sensation that you are reliving something for the second time. Déjà vu seems to strike almost everyone at one time or another, but what happens if the feeling you are reliving is far too painful to bear again? That’s exactly what Debra Ullrick’s beautifully drawn protagonist, Olivia, experiences.
Olivia is an artist of paints, and Ullrick is an artist of words, but the artistry of each draw the reader into the story. Olivia paints in hue, Ullrick paints in the five senses, but each is vibrant and memorable.
It has been said that it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, but for Olivia, the stakes are too high to believe love can grace her broken heart a second time. Will her heart be crushed like the cars beneath a monster truck, or will her once broken heart fly again as if on eagle’s wings? The tension is palpable as Olivia and Erik get to know one another better. Will she open her heart up to a second chance at love? More importantly, will she open up her heart again to God? Read Déjà vu Bride by Debra Ullrick and find out for yourself, then read it a second time. The title and the story bear reliving.

Superb Story! I didn't want to put the book down -- I was drawn into the dramatization of events as the characters fought to conceal truth and keep the past hidden. I could feel their emotional struggle and celebrate their victories. Excellent work!

Think romance novels aren’t your thing? Think again!
Olivia and Erik aren’t your ordinary characters. One is an artist and the other is a monster truck competitor. While neither is prepared for love, love has been prepared for them. The author switches gears, brakes, turns, and accelerates the story at just the right speed. Engines roar, hearts race, and the reader wins.
Author Debra Ullrick isn’t afraid to let her characters face difficult life experiences and she doesn’t offer clichéd faith responses. Debra balances the tough and the tender without being harsh or mushy. Perhaps most important, she shares the Master of Romance without religion or preachy interruptions.
What happens when you mix a monster truck, art, mud bogging, an unexpected romance, and a mind boggling mystery? Lands o Goshen! You get Déjà vu Bride!

Reviews:
One of the most unique and delightful Heartsong Presents stories I've read thus far, The Bride Wore Coveralls is a fun, guy-friendly read, and is incredibly romantic. I especially loved the Chevy and Ford rivalries between Camara and Chase. Anyone who knows men and cars knows
that teasing about the make and model of race cars (or any cars for that matter) is standard guy-speak and since Camara is a tomboy, it makes sense for her to be besting with them.

I started reading this book, and, being a guy, wasn't quite sure of what it would be like. But, as another person has said, it is definitely a 'guy-friendly' book.
The way it is written, shows that Debra has done a lot of research on the subject matter of bog-trucks to supplement her already wide knowledge of them. She is writing on them as one who KNOWS what she is talking about.
