Again another perfect mix of all the drama that comes with a dangerous sport. This one definitely felt more spicy, but I enjoyed that it carried the story along and wasn't just a spice scene to be a spice scene. I love the whole "let's just be friends with benefits nothing bad could possibly happen", but then the person who set those rules is the very same person to treat the relationship as a legitimate relationship. Liam starts to do things that clearly have thought and intention behind them, things you don't do just for your f*ck buddy. And poor Sophie tries not to fall but she was doomed from the start.
It took me longer to come around to Liam than it did Noah, but I ended up loving him in the end. And Sophie? I freaking adore her. I feel like I connected with her more than I did Maya, and I freaking love Maya, but Sophie being in college still and stuck in something she doesn't want to do, but doesn't know how to do what she wants aligned a lot with my on going experience with school and career choices. Plus I love a girl that would rather wear sneakers with everything than heels.

Moderate: Death, Emotional abuse, Alcohol, and Sexual content
Emotional abuse comes from the parent of male character not the romantic relationship in the book.callmeluh's review against another edition

Welp, I guess Lauren Asher is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors when it comes to romance.
I loved this second book in the Dirty Air series, although maybe not as much as the first one. I'll admit Liam's character was really frustrating, refusing to see what was right in front of him, but I still loved his relationship with Sophie so much. I especially loved how Lauren really took the time to develop their relationship as friends (and that we could feel the tension and attraction between these two the whole time). I'll definitely miss them.
