Blurb

 Her brother’s best friend sends her heart racing in this sparkling Formula 1 romance.

Formula 1 driver Dev Anderson’s career is on the line. After a social media disaster leaves him with an angry team and sponsors threatening to jump ship, he needs someone to help save his image. At a party in Monaco, he bumps into the woman who can fix it all. There’s just one problem: she’s his best friend’s little sister. And, okay, maybe there’s another problem—he kissed her last year and hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

Recent college grad Willow Williams needs a job. She may have a talent for seeing the bright side of any bad situation, but it’s hard to stay positive when she’s struggling to get hired. So when Dev offers her a temporary solution, she can’t help but say yes. Even if it means ignoring the crush she’s had on him since childhood.

Willow and Dev are determined to keep things strictly professional, regardless of old feelings and the blazing chemistry between them. But in the glittering and high-stakes world of Formula 1, some lines are meant to be crossed…

My Thoughts:

This was a sweet romance and I learned a lot about formula one! However, I previously knew nothing about formula one. For example it was news to me there are multiple formulas.

I liked Willow and Dev as a couple. They had good chemistry and I liked that they had history. Willow doing Devs social media was a really sweet way to show that she knew him well.

I did feel the pacing of this one was a little odd. It ended what felt a bit abruptly. However, fans of no third act breakup will enjoy it.

This is a sweet romance with lots of travel, pining and some disability and multicultural representation. Definitely worth adding to your summer TBR!
