Throttled by Lauren Asher
2.0

We know I’m a sucker for sports romances, so I enjoyed this book, even after all the criticism I’m about to write. The characters were good, the story was cute, and I love reading F1 stories.

BUT I’m begging for an editor to get their hands on this book. I’ll do it. Literally, I will do it. Grammatical errors, redundant dialogue, a scene that was referenced but not actually in the book, a plot I figured out as soon as we learned our hero has mommy/daddy issues... The steamy scenes were a little awkward? So close, yet so far.

If I had to read “throaty laugh” one more time....

I’m a sucker for a good redemption arc so I was here for the bad boy, asshole, manwhore character but it just wasn’t all the way there. I don’t think the heroine was THAT bad, but the “handed everything, tagging along for free” thing is boring. I wish she’d have just been hired as the team social media person from the jump and had the secret relationship be because of the team, not the brother.

I thought the book had a lot of potential but just like the author was trying too hard. Not enough character development. Not enough chemistry outside of physical lust.

Which book is about Jax because........ *purrrr*
