Lauren Asher never fails. I didn’t think I’d go for the whole bad-boy racer thing but damn if Throttled changed my mind.

I think Noah & Santi’s relationship could have been a bit more fleshed out. Also, someone who has been the vicitm of childhood and domestic violence does not get over it after a few weeks of therapy.

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.

Maybe it’s because I already watch F1 racing and the behind the scenes on Netflix, but I really enjoyed this book. I do agree that the beginning was slow but there is a lot to the race. My heart was literally racing the first chapter 😮‍💨

Unpopularity opinion, so far I’m enjoying this series more than the Dreamland Billionaires series. I recognize that I am the type of reader that needs more context in the stories I read which is why I liked this book a lot. It not only focused on the relationship but everything else that was happening. Maya and Noah compliment each other so well 💕 I was melting while reading the softer moments in the book.

Having an interest in F1 Racing (or at least race car drivers...) helps. Noah has good character growth (we love to see a man voluntarily enter therapy!). "Brother's rival now teammate" is a new one.

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.
