Throttled

De: Lauren Asher

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Ramona Master

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.

Vroom vroom!

Throttled is the first book in the Dirty Air series Lauren Asher. As a Formula 1 fan I was excited and nervous to start this series, but it delivers and I’m looking forward to reading the next installment!

Maya joins her brother Santi for his first season with Bandini, a top F1 team. She doesn’t plan on falling for Santi’s teammate and rival, Noah Slade. I loved all the F1 content, the positive therapy representation, and the spice! This is a fun, fast paced, steamy sports romance!

ROMANCE FOR THE AGES

I loved every moment of this book. How he helps her get her YouTube channel going and advocates for her and goes to therapy without her asking to find out why he pushes her away. It’s just sweet and romantic!! And don’t even get me started on the spice 🥵🥵🥵.

Such a good ending

I love how Lauren brought the video and vlogging aspect full circle even at the end and I loved Noah’s growth as a character

My first F1 Series

I think this is the first F1 book I've read and I definitely enjoyed that scene. Noah is an amazing F1 racer and now he has a new teammate, Santiago, who he does not have a great relationship with. Santi's sister, Maya, is traveling all over with Santi during his racing months. Noah is definitely intrigued by he but Maya isn't looking for something casual. I didn't quite feel the chemistry between the two of them. I also hate when a main character is very interested in someone but then goes and sleeps with someone else. And that definitely happened in this book and I was annoyed. I also hate how Noah supposedly goes to therapy and changes his ways but it doesn't really show us any of that. All that being said, I'm still going to read the next one.

I did listen to the audiobook of this one. Aiden Snow & Ramona Master did a great job. This was the first audiobook I've listened to narrated by Ramona Master & she did a great job with the personality & emotions of Maya. Aiden, as always, was fantastic.

LOVED

Love this steamy, new age, and committed story!! So good to have the baseline be Formula 1!

F1

It’s the perfect way to get ready for the new f1 series! I enjoyed both the story and the narration

Throttled

I haven’t read many racing books, but this one was so well done. I don’t know much about F1 but Lauren Asher did an amazing job weaving it into the story to make it understandable. Noah is so amazing I loved him from the first moment and Maya’s videos were such a great add in. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

Everything is great, accents need work

I loved the book and I love Lauren Ahser. Great story.

Aiden Snow is a staple, he did great, as well as she. However, the female narrator needs to work on her accents (and I say this as both a German and Spanish native speaker): her take on them was extremely odd. Maya’s mother sounded like she just went through a stroke and wasn’t able to pronounce words all that good yet. It’s not necessary to suuuper highlight foreign words, I could be listening in peace and suddenly the word BARTHELONA would get almost screamed at me. Also: it’s paElla, not paYElla, which is a rookie in Spanish mistake. She doesn’t know where to use the „TH“ (lispy s) pronunciation, employing it at times where it makes absolutely no sense. It really bugged me the whole book.

Started cheesy but it gets better

If you are looking for an enemies to lovers this is not it. Started super cheesy and so very predictable but after 1/3 ir gets better.

The tension

I loved the main characters tension between the two of them! Always a sucker for a bad guy and good girl relationship where she fell but he fell HARDER! The spicy scenes in this book is like 4/5 🔥🔥. Also, for someone who doesn’t understand car races the author definitely made me as a listener/ reader be able to understand the intensity of it all. Definitely recommend!
