Fast & Reckless by Amanda Weaver
3.5
**Audiobook Review**
Formula 1 racing meets forbidden romance in this fast-paced novel by Amanda Weaver. The author skillfully weaves together high-stakes racing, intense passion, and a captivating redemption arc.
At the heart of the story is Will Hawley, a charismatic yet troubled Formula 1 driver with a history of scandalous behavior. His encounter with Miranda (Mira) Wentworth, the daughter of his team's leader, sparks an unexpected and forbidden romance. As their relationship intensifies, the pressure from the public and the team threatens to tear them apart.
Will's redemption arc is particularly compelling, as he grapples with his past mistakes and strives to become a better man. Mira is a strong and independent character who adds to the story.
The author's vivid descriptions of the Formula 1 racing scenes bring the sport to life, immersing readers in the excitement and intensity of the races. The fast-paced narrative keeps the reader engaged and eager to see how the story will unfold.
While the instant love between Will and Mira felt a bit rushed, I did feel their push and pull and felt their connection.
The third-person narration might have benefited from a dual POV in the first person. This would have provided a deeper insight into the thoughts and feelings of both Will and Mira, making their connection more relatable.
The audiobook narration by Samantha Summers and Zac Smith is commendable. Their performances effectively capture the characters' personalities and emotions, bringing them to life. I did have to listen at a little slower speed (1.75x) than I usually do (2x). None of this is a deal breaker and still a good listen.
Overall, this novel is a thrilling and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of formula 1 racing or sports romance fans.
