emotional hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

3.5 ★ i did enjoy this read. i loved the F1 element to this, i actually think it was my favourite part to the story, meaning i’ll definitely be continuing on with the series however the romance didn’t stand out to me as much as i thought it! it felt like it was lacking the high tension lust, that i adore!

Gasp! Did someone say "Brother's Rival" trope?

Now disclaimer: I. AM. NOT. SAVVY. WITH. THE. F1. WORLD.

But #noahslade made me wanna dive in deep and not come back.

Also this had one of my favourite dedications of a book.

Story centers around communication degree holder/ social media influencer and vlogger #mayaalatorre and the a prodigal son/ F1 legend #noahslade who also (conveniently) happens to be #mayaalatorre brother's #santiagoalatorre ultimate rival.

Each character was very independent in their own way. I loved the supporting characters and their stories as well (which continues as a series)

This was a book with dual POVs by Maya and Noah and there were accurate descriptions of the F1 world for any reader who is not a follower of the sport.

Everything, starting from the secret rendezvous, to the finding out , to the acceptance, to the ending was perfect. The climax point was super sweet; it had it's action but it had it's romance as well. Loved this read and the characters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars.
