Liam melted my heart as did all the other racers in this series ❤️
 “I researched all about stars. And the funny thing was how I thought you were my star—a bright spot in my life keeping me constant company no matter how dark everything else got. But in reality, we’re stars because they are born in pairs. They’re created by a big fucking boom of dust and shit, forming into something beautiful and eternal. You’re stuck with me for life because we’re a duo.”

This series is wrecking me! Who knew a sexy Brit with anxiety is now my type 😅 Jax is a lovable asshole who, like Elena, I fell in love with! The way these two lean into one another and grow to because better people is heart warming. Not to mention the spicy is balanced with all the angst and banter! Honestly this series has been hard to put down. I love all the characters side characters and underlying plot elements. I highly recommend falling for a bad boy like Jax 🤣❤️

MY GOD WAS THIS AMAZING! I adored this book and the audiobook was done sooooo well. Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers deserve a reward for how phenomenal this was! The story kept me on my toes the twists and turn held me so captive I finished this in one sitting I couldn’t recommend this enough ❤️🥰

Noah Slate 🥵 my goodness I’ve never been more interested in F1racing in my life! This books was an easy read and well paced. It was refreshing to see the MMC take charge of his actions and do better! Lauren Asher’s writing is just so good it makes me never wanna put the book down! I love Maya and all of her optimism and family values I could see so much of myself in here. All in all the books was an AMAZING time ❤️

This has been the best one yet! Persephone is blossoming into the Goddess she was always meant to be! Hades continues to love her and encourage her to be great. This story is adventurous and kept me on my toe I immediately wanted to pick up the next one because the cliffhanger this book ends on has me unwell!!! 🥹

Declan and Iris are everything! The way this marriage of convenience quickly turns into full blown love is heartwarming. Watching Declan navigate emotions and how to talk through them while Iris learns self confidence is simply perfect. These two were made for each other and the love/words they share are nothing less than fairy tale worthy! This was a page turner I couldn’t put down and I can’t wait for the next one!!❤️❤️❤️

Kira and Aehako are my favorite couple. The way they play off of each other is adorable! This insight to how their mating and pregnancy is got is the sweetest and I can’t get enough of them ❤️
