This was pain. 
Sad because I am always looking forward to F1 books like this but there’s no significant conflict, very little character development and the spicy is not worth the wait. 
Very little F1 in my F1 book as well, which I get but still, always prefer more.
MCs were generic and side characters are forgettable.
Will keep looking for better F1 books

You don't need to know jack shit about F1 racing to read this book. It doesn't go into deep detail b/c racing is really just a subplot to get the characters in the same place. Like if you know racing cars they go fast like me, then don't hold back reading it. Super cute love story, I loved that the MMC didn't just pout during their break but actually worked on himself and getting to be the man that the FMC deserves. I debated giving 4 stars, just because it took me a minute to get into it (listening wise). the girl VA is the same as "Carrie Soto is Back" and it took me a while to stop picturing Carrie as the FMC and to picture Maya. Maya isn't of a hard ass as Carrie so hearing that voice for her was hard, Maya is more shy. But I ended up loving her being the VA as her because Maya is so sassy it works.

Such a cute story. I love Lauren Asher's writing style and the way she tells a story. The pacing was good and I feel like things happened in a realistic time frame which is almost unheard of in a romance book. 

I know next to nothing about Formula 1 but it was still a good read and didn't focus too much on those specifics to keep me interested. 

I loved the characters in different ways. Both Maya and Noah are contrasting characters but work so well together and bring out the best in each other. Plus, we love a guy who goes to therapy and sorts his shit out on his own accord to try to better himself instead of wallowing in what life has dealt him and refusing to change. Wasn't a huge fan of Noah at the start but even when was doing stereotypical playboy shit and being a dick there was something about him that I liked which is a hard balance to have. Maya was cute and fun but wasn't written in a childish way which I really enjoyed. Her relationship with her brother and her family was so lovely to read.
And how her family accepted and included Noah in the epilogue was adorable and well earned for him.


The side characters were nice additions and I can see how they will be able to form their own books. 

Loved it.
