📖 Synopsis:

Nevaeh’s dream of becoming a professional tennis player abruptly comes to an end when she gets into an accident that prohibits her from playing. Undeterred, she takes a daring leap into the writing world of Formula One drivers where she encounters not just fast cars but HOT Formula One drivers. Amidst the glamour and adrenaline, there is only one rule for the writers… NO dating any of the drivers. This shouldn’t be a problem for Nevaeh considering her complicated history with the sport. Being a female writer for a sports journalism page is not an easy feat, given her intricate history with the sport.

Enter Adrian, the attractive Formula One driver relentlessly pursuing the World Championship title. As Nevaeh dives into the world of Formula One, sparks fly between her and the hot F1 driver. Will Nevaeh risk it all to chase after her heart’s desires despite the obstacles ahead?

💭 Thoughts:

Before reading this book, I knew absolutely nothing about race car driving or Formula One, but man am I ever glad I decided to apply for this ARC. The chemistry between Adrian and Nevaeh was swoon worthy. They have my heart!  I loved how protecting and caring Adrian was towards Nevaeh. He picked up on the subtleties regarding Nevaeh and always had her best interest at heart but Adrian’s mouth… DAMN he knows how to heat things up. The spice in this book was absolutely phenomenal. 

The soccer stadium scene… COME ON!! Absolute perfection!

I appreciated the mental health rep in this book as we watched Nevaeh work her way through her anxieties and Adrian battle inner demons regarding his past. 

I will be sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for the second half of their story!

This book is the fifth in the series but could most definitely be read as a standalone. There is enough information in the book that you really get to know and understand who they are. However, I will most definitely be going back to the beginning to read the rest of the series. Who knew race car drivers could be so HOT!!

📌 Favourite Quotes: 

“The color of your lips, the color of your eyes, the color of your hair, and the color of your blush. … those are my new favorites.” 

“Je t’appartiens, mon paradis.”

“Careful when you do that, mon ange, because I have a weak spot for women who tease me… don’t bring me to my knees if I’m not allowed to taste you…”
