For a Formula 1 romance book there wasn’t very much racing! Sometimes felt like the author hadn’t actually watched much f1 at all. Why was so much of the book in hotel rooms when we could have been at races?! 

Not read the other books in the series so can’t compare, but this really fell short for me. 

I can cut quite a lot of slack for KU romances but this one was a slog to get through. It felt like we were jumping from scene to scene with no real development. 

Also, the attempt at Britishness was at times a bit painful.

The “why” behind Jax’s aversion to a real relationship takes awhile to be revealed, which made it hard to connect with his character. I liked this book, but I didn’t love it. I did enjoy the epilogues, and I’m excited to read the last book of the series !
