Such a cute story. I love Lauren Asher's writing style and the way she tells a story. The pacing was good and I feel like things happened in a realistic time frame which is almost unheard of in a romance book. 

I know next to nothing about Formula 1 but it was still a good read and didn't focus too much on those specifics to keep me interested. 

I loved the characters in different ways. Both Maya and Noah are contrasting characters but work so well together and bring out the best in each other. Plus, we love a guy who goes to therapy and sorts his shit out on his own accord to try to better himself instead of wallowing in what life has dealt him and refusing to change. Wasn't a huge fan of Noah at the start but even when was doing stereotypical playboy shit and being a dick there was something about him that I liked which is a hard balance to have. Maya was cute and fun but wasn't written in a childish way which I really enjoyed. Her relationship with her brother and her family was so lovely to read.
And how her family accepted and included Noah in the epilogue was adorable and well earned for him.


The side characters were nice additions and I can see how they will be able to form their own books. 

Loved it.
