Due to the overwhelming amounts of misogyny in this book and the amount of idiocy from the leads, I've decided to quit. Asher's writing is something you'd find on FF.Net and not even decent. It's incredibly juvenile, vague, and lacking any sort of depth. The amount of repetition makes me wanna put my head through a wall. If I have to hear one more snide comment about the women Noah sleeps with/his intimate life or one more comment about how Maya is a sexy Spanish woman who is so very sexy and Spanish and fresh, I'm going to lose my mind. The ridiculous way Maya pants after Noah and acts like she has no control over her libido, Noah's disgusting and creepy behavior towards her and his complete disregard for his partners, the amount of denial of their attraction…It's a big yikes and a no from me. I've read The Fine Print and enjoyed it well enough. The Dirty Air series is not one I think I'll continue with.

Well, I didn't think I liked contemporary romance, and sports romance sounded incredibly boring... BUT this was surprisingly fun! I did get bored in some of the racing parts, but they weren't too bad. I think the author has a good understanding of psychology. The MMC's emotional issues made perfect sense with his background, and I was so impressed with how he went about overcoming them!

that .5 was extremely generous of me
basically an f1 fanfic (my bet is on verstappen personally, also try to tell me jax isn't literally lewis lol) featuring sincerely atrocious writing, the blandest characters on earth, small mistakes regarding how f1 works sprinkled everywhere (which, as a chronic f1 fan and someone who pays close attention to details, it killed me) and the cheesiest, cringiest 50 pages to finish it off
i'm surprised i managed to get through it tbh i was fighting for my life to not dnf it around the 60% mark
the silly season wasn't silly enough this year to keep me entertaining and this is what happened 😭 but at least the summer break is almost over and good ol' f1 will be back soon, amen
also, nsfw:
is it normal for someone to get as many boners as this man did. like are we sure he doesn't need to see a doctor or smth. the only time in the book where he doesn't have a boner is the epilogue. i'm concerned

Didn’t enjoy the perspective the book was in. The overall plot was super cheesy but like in a well preformed way. Kinda predictable. Spicier than what it appears. Got me into liking hot f1 racers though 🤭. Like F1 is up there with Hockey players right but their are not any high quality edits on tik tok which is extremely disappointing.

This was a very enjoyable read. I recommend this if you’re into sports romance or romance in general. This book is the reason I started watching formula one and how I got obsessed. 🤩
I’m not going to lie, this book took me a while to finish because I’ve been in a reading slump the last couple of weeks. But honestly it’s not the book, it’s me. 😅
I feel like this book actually helped me want to read and look forward to it.
I loved this world and I just wanted to be a part of it. I’m excited to read about the other character’s books now that I have an idea of who they are and their relationships.
This book is a solid 4 stars for me.
I loved Noah’s character development and how much he changed.
The romance was a bit of a slow burn but the tension throughout was so good.
I also loved the friendships and the family aspect of the book and how Noah found people who truly loved him for who he is instead of his fame. 🥹
I thought that it was a really good debut novel and I’ve heard this isn’t even the best in the series so I’ll definitely read the rest. 🩷

I really liked this book! At some points it was a bit cringy, but it wasn’t too bad. It felt kind of confusing and rushed between noah and maya sometimes, and it was hard to gauge where everyone’s feelings were at. I also wish the tension could have stayed with them as their relationship progressed and not just skipped to immediate comfort. Apart from that, I loved this. It was cool to read about a new type of sport that i’m not very familiar with.
definitely reread material ✅
