F1 driver Dev Anderson and Willow Williams kissed last year which would be fine if Dev's best friend weren't Willow's overprotective big brother. Now, Willow needs a job as a marketing professional and Dev is looking for a social media manager which would be fine if it weren't for the sparks they still feel. What could possibly happen between these two? *smirks*

I loved this book!! I loved the characters, the story, the world that it was set on, and I even loved the antagonism I felt for some of the mean characters. I thought the story was so romantic and sweet. The only criticism I have is that the ending felt a little rushed. I had no problem with the conflict at all I mean a romance book
without a third act breakup
is my favorite!! But I just didn't like how rushed the epilogue of the book felt. It was
time jump after time jump
when I hope that we get a book for each one of the boys! We could have seen the scenes play out in other books except for the true end of the book. I really really liked everything else about this book though and I really hope that we get a lot more from Simone Soltani. She made a lifelong fan!

Tropes: athlete romance, big brother's best friend, second chance romance, and friends to lovers. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Berkley Publishing Group | Berkley, and Simone Soltani for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
