Publisher's summary

What happens when my brother's rival becomes my secret crush?

Noah Slade is a Formula 1 legend in the making. Focused. Unapproachable. Ruthless on and off the track. A man with walls higher than the Grand Canyon. And my brother's new teammate.

I want more of the prince who disguises himself as the villain. But while I crave a happy ending, he wants to destroy his.

Maya Alatorre is a forbidden temptation. An ambitious post-grad I should stay far away from. And chaos wrapped with a bow.

We're a ticking time bomb, about one wrong move away from exploding. I want to trip the wire, detonating together in passion and pain.

Because in the end, all's fair in lust and war.

Contains mature themes.

LOVED this narration! I am now a Formula 1 fan!!

I REALLY enjoyed the audio version of this book! Aiden Snow captured everything I imagined for Noah and had that perfect deep, sultry tone to his voice that perfectly portrayed this alpha male racer who was all about himself. Then there was Ramona Master who was a new to me narrator but absolutely perfect for Maya! I loved her voice! Her tone was sweet and adorable with the perfect little underlying accent for Maya’s Spanish heritage! This narration definitely elevated the book for me and made it an enjoyable listen!

I’ve read a lot of sports romance, but never a formula 1 book and I absolutely loved it! I totally want to run to Netflix and watch the Formula 1 show now! The way this sport was described was just so sexy and made it so appealing! Lauren Asher has made me a fan!

This book is adorable and sweet, but interesting and angsty! Maya’s brother, Santiago is an F1 racer and just got hired to the Bandini team. Maya is a vlogger and joins him for the season while she travels to all the races and vlogs. Noah is already a famous F1 racer on the Bandini team and Santiago is his racing rival after an incident on the racetrack. Noah is a complete playboy and kind of a jerk. I will admit I was not his biggest fan at first. However once him and Maya meet, the chemistry between them was there from the start. He’s her brother’s rival so she knows it’s not going to happen. Meanwhile, Noah wants her and can’t get enough of her. He is totally an alpha male and will do whatever it takes to have her.

I absolutely loved Maya throughout this whole story but Noah was one character that had me on a rollercoaster of emotions in this book. One minute I didn’t like him, the next he had me swooning, then I wanted to throw something at him….it definitely a journey of growth for him but I defintiely grew to love this bad boy who is willing to change himself when it comes to love.

Thank You, Lauren Asher

Thank you Lauren Asher for this book. You see, I’ve been in the longest reading slump. This book got me out of it. Maya and Noah’s story had me wanting more. I loved Maya and her strength. Noah and his vulnerability and strength.
This book was week-performed. The narrator brought this story to life.

I really enjoyed this book and I like that they're

I really enjoyed this book and I like that they're polar opposites as well as The main hero being her brother's teammate

Sports Romance Story

A great story, but the female narrator made it hard to get into at first. Aiden Snow fit the voice perfectly. Worth the listen.

F1 Fans

This is the author's first book and I honestly say I loved it, the forbidden romance combined with F1 sport was perfect. Maya and Noah's story is phenomenal, I couldn't put it down, all the characters in the book where great and so I can't wait for the next installment. A must read for all F1 fans.

Holy Accents

I’m so happy I read the book first then listened to it. Had I not, I think I would have disliked Maya because of the narrator. It’s as if she doesn’t know how to convey emotions right, the constant pausing then rushing of words and the accents were all over the place. Half the time the mom sounded British? And the German accent sounded more French. I gave performance 4 stars because of Aiden.

Throttled

Love the story about car racing and the love between the main characters and the family and friends in this book

Didn’t like female reader

I skipped ALL female reader. Her accent was nail on a chalk board. It was hard to listen to her. Therefore, I didn’t get the whole picture. Hence three stars.

This book was soo goood!!

Idk why people are saying the narrators are bad but I have bought 118 audio books on this app. I’ve got to say they did a great job!!! I’ve heard horrible narration and these two blew me away!! Can’t wait for the next book! The story was great! Can’t wait to have more from Lauren Asher!

Nice !

Cute, easy story. If you like a lot of “will they, won’t they,” back and forth, you’ll get your fill of it here. Characters are likable (well the ones that are supposed to be). Nothing earth shattering but sometimes that’s not what I need !
