Throttled

By: Lauren Asher

Narrated by: 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.

Overall the books story line was okay. I enjoyed Noah’s character progression however I feel like Maya should’ve also had something other than her blog which was basically only successful because of her brother. So it defeats the purpose of her growing up in her own. Because technically she didn’t accomplish it on her own. I also hated the person who narrated her character. The way she read her part made her sound like a teenager who didn’t understand social queues…

Formula 1

Formula 1 is a little complicated than the book depicts. But I understand it is not about formula 1 but a driver and the woman that he falls for. Aiden Snow was perfect. Female narrator in my opinion not so much. Sorry!

I enjoy this a lot!!

Spicy lvl: 2.5/5
Story: 4.5/5
Narrators: Aiden Snow - 5/5- as always did an exceptional job. Ramona Master- 3/5 - she did an okay job. It was hard to sometimes distinguish the female voices. Also, somehow she made the Mom in the book sound British. I did like her male voice for Noah.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun, angsty, cute, romantic, and dare I say thrilling. Let me tell you, this book has me wanting to watch some F1 racing. That’s how addicted I was to the book. That scene when Noah was involved in a tough situation, had my heart pounding. Lol. I little stopped what I was doing to just sit and listen. Lol. Well done Author.

I did like Noah and Maya as a couple. The development of their relationship was well developed. The character development for Noah was also well done.

Noah - he was a hurt and broken person that used his arrogant personality to cover it up. He slept around but was open about it. The thing he did after being rejected by Maya, was a dick move but he didn’t owe anything to her or anyone. I think he showed understanding of how his actions could and did hurt someone. His willingness to get better and work on himself was commendable. I like that once he understood his feelings for Maya, he was willing to go all in. Even wanted to be public about it. I actually hurt for him and his need to belong to someone. To have someone that supported him and was on his side. His need to be appreciated and loved was palpable. His lust for Maya did turn to love and it was amazing to see. I liked him, arrogant and all.

Maya - I thought she was okay. A bit immature when it came to telling her brother about Noah. One because she asked Noah to be all in and she was not. Two, because she assumed she knew better than her brother. She should have let her brother decide how he felt about his sister and teammate dating. I really didn’t like that she was hiding the relationship. I didn’t like all the lies she says to cover up her relationship.

I wished the epilogue was a bit longer. But I’m glad they got a HEA ending.

I am very much excited to hear the rest of the stories.

Fantastic narrators and a great story

This book had all the right ingredients. It was a good mix of humor, spice, and depth of characters. I will definitely be on the lookout for for more audibles from this author.

So cute.

I tried my hardest to try to put these characters towards actual F1 drivers but sadly I don’t think they exist. MAYBE Ricciardo since he’s goofy but everyone else seems different. Noah and Maya were adorable. The perfect meet-cute story. I read Lauren’s dreamland series and wanted to continue with more. I’m glad I got the audiobook of this book. Hearing the characters made it much better! Can’t wait to finish the series
