2🌶️ what a way to end a series. I love seeing the growth Santi had from Throttled. And to start the book off with that heart wrenching scene 🥲 ugh! I did not see that for Santiago's story. And Chloe I didn't see a character like her coming from a mile away. Having someone, who had suffered her own trauma, come and help build Santiago back up after his tragedy was just beautiful. I laughed so much at the fake dating antics truly I don't know how he would've ever been able to resist Chloe. This was a beautiful story of strength and that vulnerability can be beautiful and empowering. I now understand why this is the favorite of the series 💜 I'll miss these characters so much. This was such a special story to end on and I really just have no other words 🥹

i completely devoured this book, and loved the characters so so much. it was by far my favourite in the dirty air series, and i adored how chloe and santi we’re there for each other and helped to heal the other one. their relationship was so sweet and genuine and it had me smiling so much i must have looked like a crazy person. santi’s character and journey was so inspiring and i thought that it was really lovely how lauren asher added that level of representation to the series. chloe’s character was also so perfect and beautiful, and i only wanted the best things for her throughout the whole book. although i am very sad to end this series, all of the books have been such great reads, and the found family throughout it is pure excellence. so happy that i have read this!

5 MF STARS I KNEW SANTIAGO WAS GOING TO BE MY FAVORITE RACER!!!!
This book was amazing and made me feel like how I felt when I read the heart principle in that I really care and love these characters. Although I don’t relate to them as much I still understand them and absolutely love them individually and together.

I love how Santiago treated Chloe in that he always wanted what was best for her and didn’t like that she had to grow up the way she did. I love how he did things for her because of this too i.e. the mom thing, the dad thing, and even Brooke in the end of the book. I also love how Chloe never pushed Santiago on the subject of racing and his prosthetic. She only ever encouraged him to try to do things that dealt with his last slowly but surely. Also she made sure he was confident, proud, and loved himself before you know because she knew the importance of it like she said.

I love the fake dating trope so I guess that’s just another reason as to why I loved this book.

Lastly, I loved this book because reading it felt safe and like being with someone you love whether familial, friendship, or romantic. It felt safe, comfortable, and sweet even in the third act conflict.

I say even in the third act conflict, because even though it’s a romance novel and I know they’re going to end up together I didn’t feel very anxious like I usually do. You could tell that these characters don’t just love each other but like the book says are IN love with each other. There was never doubt in my mind or theirs that they loved each other even in the conflict which doesn’t happen often in romance novels ESPECIALLY ones with the fake dating trope.

This series is incredible. I highly recommend this read, but it’s my advice to read the books in order. Start with Throttled, then Collided, then Wrecked, then Redeemed. I wasn’t expecting to love this book as much as I did. Without spoiling, I will say that my father has the exact same disability as a character in this book so I was nervous. But it was handled with great care, and this book surprisingly became by favorite of the series (closely followed by Collided). The grumpy/sunshine trope is executed great here, and I’m sad the series has come to an end (though I did read we might be getting a 2nd generation series!)
