The first quarter/roughly half way was promising, I quite liked the overall plot but the execution past half way was jumbled and way too fast paced. We didn’t get to see the rekindling of their romance blossom, nor did we get enough time to feel a connection growing between Freddie/Charlotte and Nicholas. If the book had another 100 or so pages to flesh the storyline out I think it would be a better book

Entré a este libro pensando que iba a ser del estilo de Throttled y nada más lejos de la realidad.
A pesar de que es bastante corto, creo que pudo haber sido aún más corto y funcionar mejor como una novella. Principalmente porque por momentos es muy repetitiva en cuanto a los diálogos internos y el gran conflicto para el que se construye pasa como si nada, resuelto en uno o dos capítulos.
Tampoco vi la necesidad de que hubiera capítulos desde los POV de otros personajes que tampoco es que aportaran mucho a la historia. C fan de la F1 me pareció que sería entretenido leer un libro en ese mundo, pero tampoco es así realmente.
No se, me apego a mi opinión de que pudo haber funcionado mucho mejor como novella. Además, nunca me quedaron claros los tiempos: yo tenía la idea de que todo estaba pasando en una semana y de pronto mencionan las semanas que pasaron y yo ¿?
En fin, me mantuvo entretenida pero siento que para mañana ya voy a haber olvidado todo lo que pasó.
0/5 en mi escala de 🌶️ aunque no se lo echo en cara

Really? Another F1 romance? Yes 🤭. I was scanning Goodreads for more F1 romances, and then I found this one with only 14 reviews so far! It's only 200 pages, so I picked it up this morning and finished it in like 3 hours. It was enjoyable, really fast-paced (a little too fast for my liking), predictable but cute. Charlotte Levant and retired F1 driver Freddie Ridgeport get a second chance at love when Charlotte comes back to Monaco after 10 years. She left without an explanation or saying goodbye, leaving Freddie confused and heartbroken 💔. Freddie was unexpectedly named as the legal guardian to 9-year-old Nicholas in a will, changing his life forever. Charlotte carries a really big secret that could either ruin her second chance with Freddie forever or they could be happier than ever. Like I said, the book was really predictable and super fast-paced. I wish the author took a little more time with the whole storyline. Anyways, I will definitely read book 2, which is about Nicholas and taking place 10 years later! 🤗
***Received a free ebook copy through LibraryThing.com, though after the publication date.
I did not enjoy this book. I only finished it because I received a free copy and felt I should read to the end to write a review.
First the things I liked, the first chapter is well written as on of the main characters returns to Monaco after being away for a decade. I also enjoyed the centering of the plot around F1.
However, the plot is rushed with little to no character development. The two main characters instantly declare (to themselves) that they are in love with each other within minutes of seeing each other for the first time in ten years as if neither of them have changed in that time at all.
Also, the information dump in the first couple of chapters is dull. It reads like a nonfiction book instead of showing us their past through conversations or tidbits throughout the story, we get a dump of everything at the beginning.
There is a villian, ex-girlfriend character who is portrayed as completely evil in her first POV chapter. She gets a couple more chapters from her perspective but is toned down and magically redeemed and forgiven by the end. It seems like the author was trying to make her/the story into a soap opera and then completely abandoned that plot thread.
