Downforce

Hot Grid: The F1 Players #3

by Elle Couper

Anton Laurant gets what he wants, and the F1 champion wants Charlotte Madigan gone, until the racing team’s new aerodynamicist challenges him in an unexpected way…

A One Hour Reads Instalove Romance with 100% HEA.

Anton
No one tells me what to do, but Charlotte Madigan thinks she can. When it comes to racing, I know exactly how I want things, but Charlotte makes me start to question everything…like how will one kiss, one taste of her, be enough?

Charlie
He’s infuriating, arrogant, and under my skin. I can’t stop thinking about him. When we find ourselves succumbing to pure physical attraction, everything changes. There’s no going back. But how do I survive going forward?


Author Downforce is an OTT Instalove, enemies-to-lovers, steamy short romance set in the fast-paced Formula 1 racing world. Where the drivers are all gorgeous alphas, and desire and passion run hot.
Buckle up. The pressure will make you pant…


Hot The F1 Players.
They’re the legends of the F1 circuit. The fast lane is too slow for them. Love isn’t on the grid. Until it is. No brakes allowed…


***Psst – Hot The F1 Players is set in the Formula One racing world as created through an author’s imagination. The characters are entirely fictional, although yes, in some cases, a little bit influenced. Some creative license has been taken with some elements of the F1 world (but not too many because my F1-loving family would yell at me if there were)***

Charlie and Anton's instalove story. Even though enemies to lovers is not a favorite trope of mine, this story was still really good. I liked how once they were focused on each other, the rest of the world disappeared.

I enjoy the previous books just a hair more than this one. I think maybe I didn't relate to these characters as much as the earlier ones in this series. I love when reading a series, when each book centers around different people and yet the same characters appear in all the books, almost as if we get to catch up with old friends.

There was most definitely spice in this one, woah!.

Charlie worked her butt off to be the top of her game. Her dad owned the company she got hired at, she got the job on merit alone. She wants to have a meeting with everyone about how to improve the race cars. Only one problem everyone is there but Anton Laurent. She calls him and tells him he has twenty minutes to get there as it's his car she wants to make faster. She is in the gym when he walks in and its like all the stars become aligned at that very moment they met.
Anton knew in that moment he was in love with Charlie. He went to the meeting liked what she had to say. He had to leave because he felt he wasn't good enough for her. He explained later why he thought that and Charlie slammed she feel in love with him regardless of what he thinks. He said he loved her too. They were a matched made in heaven.

A very short, sweet love at first sight (for the MMc at least) the FMC took a touch longer. Charlie has to prove that she got the job on her own merits and not because her father owns the company. Everyone knows she’s good at her job but the French F1 driver Anton disagrees. They’ve never met but their dislike of each other is mutual. But when they meet it’s fireworks and Anton is in love he just needs to convince her she feels the same. Another F1 driver gets his hea, enjoyable but short love story.

Downforce is the third book in Elle Coupers Hot Grid F1 series. They are short, instalove romances and all end with a HEA.

Downforce is by far the shortest one I have read so far but still sweet. We have Laurent the arrogant race car diver and Charlotte the Chief Aerodynamicist for Equis Racing. From enimies to lovers, Laurent knew straight away that Charlotte would be his, for Charlotte it took a little longer.

Formula 1 race car driver, Anton Laurent, sees Charlie Madigan for the first time, and has to have her. What follows is a spicy encounter that leaves them both reeling.
This is a very short story but it’s written so well that you don’t feel that you missed anything.
If you need a bite-sized story and you don’t mind insta-love, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one.

Another fun, quick, hot ready in the Hot Grid Series.

This time we see Anton and his HEA with Charlie/Charlotte, his new chief aerodynamic engineer. And the sparks fly once they finally meet vs Anton avoiding her.

A lot of story gets back into a few words & its a great read!

Can't wait for the next book!

I continue to enjoy all of these books. Yes they’re instalove but the characters have great back stories. Bullys being put in their place and smart women being appreciated. As it should be, can’t wait to read more!.

DOWNFORCE is part of the Hot Grid: F1 Players series by Elle Couper set in a fictional Formula One racing universe. Driver Anton Laurent meets his match in engineer Charlotte Madigan. When Anton and Charlie actually lay eyes on the other, they shift from zero to scorching in a flash. This is one delicious antagonists to lovers!

Down Force was short and sweet romance. The MMC knew they were meant to be, while it took the FMC a little bit longer. This is a F1 (race car) romance.

Both Laurent and Charlotte want to prove that they know best, but someone has to give in this enemies to lovers, short story. What I liked was how arrogant both of them came off, but then how they turned sweet once they realized that no one can be correct 100% of the time.

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short, quick and stand alone read with instant love. The story is about Anton and Charlie. She is the teams new aerodynamicist and challenges him. He wants her gone, until he does not. The attraction is instant and he falls hard and fast. This is a fun and entertaining story.
