I wanted to read this book because I love Lauren Asher. I think she is brilliant. I love the Dreamland Billionaire series and was wanting to read more of Asher’s work whilst waiting for the Final Offer. And now, I'm a F1 fan and want my brother or best friend to become a driver so I can travel all round the world.
This book has two points of view. The first is Maya Alatorre. She doesn’t know what to do with her life, so her brother invites her to join him during this season of the Formula 1 while she figures it out. She knows all about the other drivers in the competition, but one is sticking out more than the rest. Maya’s brother’s teammate. She wants more of the prince who disguises herself as the villain, but she wants a happy ending, and he wants to destroy his. The second is Noah Slade. He is a Formula 1 legend in the making and he focused and ruthless. He has walls higher than the Grand Canyon. He sleeps with whoever it was, when he wants, and he doesn’t do commitment. He should be staying far away from Maya, but as the season goes on, he is wanting more and more of her. They are a ticking time bomb, and one wrong move could explode in their faces. Noah wants to trip the wire, detonating together in passion and pain. Because in the end, all’s fair in lust and war.
I love this book; it is so freaking cute. I love Maya and her attitude of I don’t care about him, but I do sort of thing. I love the banter between those two and how they are trying so hard to hide the relationship and yet everyone seems to know EXCEPT Santi, I swear I hope he’s not that dumb in his own book. I want Noah please and thank you, he was gentlemanly and all he wanted was a family. I want to smack his parents so hard btw that I've never hated two characters as much as I hate them, and I was so happy that Santi was the one that wacked Slade senior that whole chapter had me on edge. I thought this book was fast-paced and full of twists and turns. The epilogue as well had me melting. I just love the chemistry between the two of them.
I wouldn’t say there are any weaknesses to this book, it just felt like it was missing something and I can’t put my finger on what it was exactly. I am hoping that Liam and Sophie’s book is going to be good from the chemistry we have seen in this book.

Rating this book 4 stars wasn’t part of my plan, but the lord -and everyone that reads my reviews- know that i’m a sucker for a sappy romance story with good characters. Noah and Maya feel very real from how they express themselves to their reactions. I must say, the secondary characters felt a bit meh which is disappointing considering that there’s other books for said characters. Overall, a nice ride (see what i did there *wink wink*). I’m a huge F1 fan so it’s a cool book, different to your usual romance stories.
