Crash Test

A Novel

De: Amy James

Narrado por: Gary Furlong, Patrick Zeller

Formula 1 meets Red, White, & Royal Blue in this contemporary romance in which an F1 phenom battling for the championship is sent spinning after his secret love is involved in a massive crash.

Twenty-four-year-old Formula 1 driver Travis Keeping is halfway through an incredible racing season, with the championship well within his sights. But when a massive crash in Formula 2 leaves driver Jacob Nichols in critical condition, Travis’s world is flipped upside down. No one knows, but he and Jacob have been dating for almost a year.

Now the only boy he’s ever loved is clinging to life, his F1 team can’t understand why his performance is faltering, and he’s locked in a cold war with Jacob’s parents, who want him as far away from their son as humanly possible. Travis is sure everything will get better when Jacob wakes up, but he soon realizes he’s underestimated Jacob’s parents’ influence on their son.

As the F1 season barrels on, Travis and Jacob find themselves alone and miserable on opposite sides of the globe. But with some new friends by their sides, both drivers will be pushed outside of their comfort zones and onto a journey of self-discovery—one that just might lead them back to each other in the end.

A new favorite!

I literally couldn’t stop once I started listening. I loved the characters, the plot and the romance. One of my new favorites!

the raw emotion in the dialog!! as well as the switch in voice actors when it was different people

honestly I love this book it was kind of slow in some part but I literally couldn't put it down in finished it in one day

Enjoyed this one a lot

Beautiful story, well written with great character development and an awesome plot. In the first part of the book Travis was kind of an ass hole. When we got to his part of the story it definitely made you like him. A perfect couple Travis and Jacob. The narration of this story is absolutely perfect. it definitely draws you in and makes the book so much better. This story is well worth your time to listen to. 👏❤🔥⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was hooked from the beginning.

The story has me at the first sentence. The narrators were perfect actors for the roles.

IM SOBBING SO GOOD

God the VA did absolutely wonderfully. The voice acting alone pushed this past five stars. The emotion not just in quoted speaking moments but thoughts too. Brava. Probably my favorite audio book of all time.

Fantastic narration and wonderful writing

I enjoyed meeting these two guys and all the friends ❤️such a great story line lots of happy lots of sad have tissues ready to me it was 5 stars ⭐️

Holy angst batman

This book put me through it!!!! I spent the first part practically in tears my heart breaking for Travis! Then the second part I was raging for him and wanting to throat punch Jacob! He frustrated me soooo much! Then came the third part and I wanted to slap them both upside the head! It's been a bit since a book held me captive and I just HAD to keep going, unwilling to put it down and that's exactly what I went through with this one. With all the angst and emotions I thoroughly enjoyed the book! Was a great listen. Narrators were wonderful and Did a great job getting all the emotions Travis and Jacob felt across to listeners. Highly recommend this book!

Wonderful Story, Fantastic Performance!

Amy James is new to me but both Patrick Zeller and Gary Furlong are in my top list of favorite male performers so I followed them to her and this wonderful story featuring F1 racing. I just saw that gorgeous Brad Pitt in his own Formula 1 movie not that long ago so I was prepped for this story. I love Amy's style; this was performed in duet style with the first half in the POV of 1 MMC showing the crash and flashbacks of their life prior to the crash and the 2nd half was the other MMC POV after the crash and what he did to find himself back. Then the 3rd part was both MMCs POV together. This was well written, the characters were amazing - both MMCs and the supporting cast. Once I started listening it was hard to stop. There was some heat, but it was minimal and tastefully done. Totally enjoyed this!

5 Starz - I would listen again

WOW

I'm afraid this audiobook has ruined me for all others 😔 I wish they were ALL duet (like this one) instead of dual POV. The narrators were AMAZING. They weren't just reading... they were ACTING. It was pretty angsty, but I loved it.

Very Pleasant Story

I really enjoyed this book. The performance was top notch and the characters we well thought out. The only bummer for me is that they are apart for
most of the story. I hope they do a new book where you get to learn about them together as a couple. I would buy book two if it were to come out.
