I loved this book! The banter! The little traditions that were developed and the deeper themes that were explored made me fall in love with Romeo and Mary! You definitely don’t need to know lots about F1 to really enjoy this book! First book I’ve read from Maggie but I don’t think it’ll be that last! 🤍

A very fun and flirty read. I am a sucker for a fake dating situation and combining that with the world of F1 was such a perfect fusion. Romeo and Mary are adorable and seeing them grow personally within the time together is just perfect. Mary being from Michigan was such a fun thing for me since I also am! This was the perfect book to read on a day off. I think the pacing was great and there was a glossary of F1 related terms to help anyone who might not have the previous knowledge about the sport which I thought was a great touch :)

This is probably my favorite of Maggie's so far, which is saying something because I really enjoyed her regency series.
There were great details and it was fun to learn a bit about a sport I know nothing about. She has a glossary at the beginning so don't worry if you don't know anything either, it's a wonderful book.
I hope she keeps this series going, it's been really fun!
Content:
Style - Dual POV, sport romance (fake dating)
Intimacy - Moderate (longing, kisses)
Language - None
Violence - None
Potential Triggers - distant family (mmc emotionally & fmc physically)

This was such a fun, adorable read! I really enjoyed reading a romance book centered around F1 as I’ve recently become a fan of the sport. I thought Maggie did a great job explaining the F1 world for those who might not be well-versed in it. I loved the pacing of the book and really enjoyed being in the mind of these characters! I often feel authors wrap up the ending to romance books too quickly and I’m left wanting more. However, I did not feel this way at the end of this book!So grateful to have experienced this wonderful arc!
