"I think I recognized you before I had any right to.”

The way I feel about Marco and Ivy should not be taken lightly. These two collided in a way that changed the way the world turns and it's beautiful to witness.

I am so happy we finally get to see how these two met, where Ivy came from and what Marco was hiding. They're already perfect for eachother and we've only just gotten started.

Anything Margot writes is with a purpose. Every word has meaning, every sentence brings something to the story and every thought put into this was turned over in a way that shows she actually knows what she's talking about. I am still obsessed and cannot wait what else we will get in the next book. 🤍✨

📚🔥 BOOK REVIEW 🔥📚

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TWO SINNERS. ONE CHURCH BASEMENT. ONE FORMULA 1 DRIVER. AND ENOUGH SEXUAL TENSION TO SET THE WHOLE PADDOCK ON FIRE. 🏎️🔥😮‍💨

Marco Bianchi… SIR. 😩 You were supposed to be a calculated risk, not the reason I’m over here clutching my pearls and questioning my morals. 😂

A gorgeous, tortured F1 driver with a powerful family breathing down his neck + a ruthless PR woman who knows exactly how to manage a disaster? GIVE. ME. MORE. 👏🔥

Ivy and Marco’s chemistry was absolutely lethal. The slow burn TORTURE. The tension UNHOLY. The forced proximity and one-bed situation? I WAS NOT OKAY. 🥵

And Marco FALLING FIRST! Oh, I ate that UP. Watching this man go from controlled and obedient to completely undone by Ivy was everything. 😮‍💨❤️‍🔥

But underneath all that heat is a story packed with family secrets, Catholic guilt, inherited sins, dangerous devotion, and two people desperately trying to save each other while their worlds are falling apart.

The Bianchi family drama had me STRESSED, the romance had me INVESTED, and that cliffhanger had me personally offended. 😭

Because apparently I’m supposed to just ACCEPT THAT ENDING and wait for the next book!

Absolutely not.

I need Book 2. Immediately. 🫠🏎️🔥

If you love F1 romance, driver × PR professional, he falls first, one-night stand to something more, slow-burn sexual tension, forced proximity, one bed, powerful family dynasties, secrets, and morally complicated romance… buckle up.

This one is going to take you for a RIDE. 🏎️💨🔥

Okayyyy Marco and Ivy.

I already knew I was going to like the F1 setting, but what really got me was the tension between these two. From the church basement meet-cute, there was just something there, and it kept building and building until I was basically waiting for one of them to snap.

Marco is charming, sexy, complicated and carrying way more than he lets on. Ivy is sharp, confident and exactly the kind of FMC I love because she can hold her own without feeling forced. Their banter was so good, but I think what surprised me most was how much emotion sat underneath all of the flirting and spice.

There’s family pressure, secrets, religious symbolism, forced proximity, a powerful family dynasty and enough tension to make you want to scream at them to just DO SOMETHING already.

And then when they finally do? Yeah. Worth it.

I also really liked that this didn’t feel like a complete story tied up in a bow. You can tell Margot is laying the groundwork for something much bigger with Marco and Ivy, and after that ending I am very much invested in where this goes next.

Also this quote basically sums up the entire reading experience:

“He made me feel calm and feral at the same time.”
GIRL. ME TOO ! 🥵

Definitely read this knowing it is book one in a continuous four-book story and ends on a cliffhanger.

Oh my goodness! This book was amazing! I absolutely loved this book these characters. Both Ivy and Marco both know how to make it look like their life is going well when the whole time they are trying to survive their private lives. The way these two meet was so perfect! I cannot wait for the next book!

*This book is left on a cliffhanger- know this before you read it. This is a 4 book continuous series.

I have been waiting for Marco and Ivy’s story since finishing the Speed Demons series, and Margot absolutely did not disappoint! I was hooked from the opening quote and completely invested in their story from the very beginning!

The chemistry between these two was everything. From their church basement meet-cute, there was an instant pull between them that only continued to grow. The flirting, banter, and tension were so good, and I constantly felt like they were one conversation away from finally giving in to everything between them. The slow burn was definitely necessary to build their relationship and everything happening around them, but when that tension finally snapped, it was so worth the wait. And the kitchen scene?! Yeah, that one was worth waiting for!

Marco was everything I hoped he would be after meeting him in Speed Demons. He is charming, confident, and ridiculously sexy, but there is so much more underneath that exterior. He is dealing with family expectations, pressure, secrets, and a future that does not necessarily feel like his own. I loved getting to see the more vulnerable side of him and watching him slowly realize that he can make his own choices instead of simply following what his family expects from him.

Ivy was such a badass. She is smart, sharp, confident, and knows what she wants, but she also has a softer side that made her connection with Marco feel even more meaningful. I loved that she could hold her own and never felt like she needed Marco to save her. She has her own goals, ambitions, and struggles, and I really enjoyed watching her find her place in the F1 world. I am especially excited to learn more about her past because I have a feeling there is so much more to her story than we have seen so far.

What I loved most was how Marco and Ivy became a safe place for each other. With the family pressure, secrets, bloodlines, and all the forced family drama surrounding them, they were able to find comfort and sanctuary in each other. Their relationship was not just about the chemistry and passion. There was so much vulnerability underneath it all, and watching them start to make their own choices, build their own loyalty, and figure out who they are outside of everyone else’s expectations was beautiful.

I also loved being back in the F1 world and getting to see more of this universe, especially with the darker vibe of this new series. Margot did such a good job laying the groundwork for what is clearly going to be a much bigger story. There are so many questions left unanswered, and I need to know what happens next for Marco and Ivy.

This is book one of a four-book continuous series, so their story is far from over and this one does end on a cliffhanger. Needless to say, I am already counting down until book two because I need more of these two!

Thank you so much, Margot, for the ARC and for letting me be part of your team!

"I want to want someone...without needing them to numb something first." - Marco

"Has anyone told you that you look like a miracle I've been waiting a lifetime to fuck up?" -also Marco

Ivy & Marco. He's an F1 driver and has a family who sees him as a commodity. She's a PR exec who is breaking into F1 and has no idea what she's in for.

This book. These characters. This AUTHOR. This is book one of a 4 book continuous story so if you pick up this one, you'll be picking up all four and when I tell you that no one does this like Margot Voss, I need you to hear me. Her books are packed with enough emotion, angst, and spice to get us through while we wait for the next book and it's always been worth it. We met Ivy and Marco in Speed Demons (you do not need to read Speed Demons first - grab this one and after your done, then go read it, you won't be confused at all), and I knew at that time that there was something between these two, but I had no idea what - they held their secrets close to their chests and I will say, I was not expecting this. But I am supremely satisfied and so excited for the rest of this series. I am a somewhat feral fan of this author and she is one of my auto buy/auto read/if she writes it, I'm going to read it authors. Some people may come for the spice, but the emotions are so much bigger and soul crushing. Emotional devastation is coming. It's going to hurt. But I'm trusting Margot!

what to expect:
*forced proximity
*F1 driver
*powerful family
*religious symbolism
*family secrets
*he falls first - they fall hard
*mutual salvation

"You're just a man who showed up at my door looking like he ran out of places to be brave. And I've spent enough of my life watching people fall apart to know that sometimes, they just need someone to hold the glue for a minute." -Ivy fucking Sinclair

*I received a complimentary eARC and my review is voluntary. Thank you to the author.

Margot... you did it again.
I loved the Speed Demons series, and I can easily see the Bloodline series come to the same top tier series.

One of my favorite things in books is when we already know (and love) the main characters of the book by getting to know them as side characters. This is definitely the case for Marco and Ivy, and I highly recommend reading the Speed Demons series before starting this one (though it is a completely different type of romance series, both series overlap so knowing what happened in the Speed Demons series actually comes in handy).

I adored Marco in the SD series, but I honestly feel like I'm going to love him even more after this series completes. Same with Ivy.
This book is such a fantastic example of characters being more than you get to see of them as side characters.
The way these two soften when you get to know them, get to know their struggles and their background.. it's incredible.

And the dedication? Y'all aren't ready for this.

Ivy is a woman I think we all secretly strive to be. Badass with a soft touch for the people deserving of it.

And Marco, the Italian macho man constantly cracking jokes in SD. What do you mean???? This man has a heart of gold for the people in his inner circle.

Thank you, Margot, for giving me a review copy. I cannot wait to continue this series and am excited for the rest of Marco and Ivy's story! 🫶

Bloodline ARC review

I have been waiting for Marco & Ivy’s story since I finished the Speed Demons series last year. All I can say is Margot did not disappoint and had me hooked from the first page. This story was packed with so much tension it was coming off the pages. I loved being back in the F1 world and the feral gremlins group chat with forever be my favorite.

Margot laid the ground work for their story and the slow burn high sexual tension was needed. But when it snapped holy hell was it hot. Between the bloodlines, the family secrets I couldn’t put this one down. We knew Marco was charming and sexy from Speed Demons learning more about him he was everything 🫠🔥 The banter between him and Ivy was so good. She was such a boss I can’t wait to get more of her background throughout the series I cannot wait for the next book in their story. This does end on a cliff hanger and part of a continuous series and must be read in order.

Margot thank you so much for the arc and being able to be part of your team!!

ARC review:

HELL YESSSS!!!! I was already invested in Ivy and Marco’s story after the Speed Demons series and they are proving to be everything and more! I was already hooked after the opening quote of chapter one. Marco Bianchi is so charming and sexy AF. I loved him from the first series and love him even more now 😍. I definitely hate his family and the drama really had my stomach in knots 😕. Ivy Sinclair, what a bad ass boss babe! She is so smart and sharp. I want to be her when I grow up 😏. Really can’t wait to get more of her backstory because I just know it runs deep. The immediate chemistry between Ivy and Marco when they met at a church meeting was 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻. The flirting and the banter was EVERYTHING. The tension felt like it was always on the cusp of spilling over and when it finally did it was 🥵🥵🥵🫠🫠🫠. The kitchen scene though?! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 It was a slow burn that was necessary to set the stage for the drama and what is to come for the rest of the series. The pace is fast and there’s a darker vibe to this series and I’m already salivating for book 2. I CAN’T WAIT!!

Both Marco and Ivy attend a meeting in a church basement to escape from their problems. Neither expects to meet someone that night, but their meeting changes everything.

There is just something so captivating about Voss’ writing style. It instantly hooks me and keeps me throughout the entire book. Her characters all feel like they’re my friends. Voss does found family in such a special way. I am addicted to how well she spins all of the characters together and their support for one another. 

This book is definitely a slow burn, but in a delicious way. The chemistry and heat between Ivy and Marco is instant and the simmer is perfection. Their emotions feel SO real. I am right there with the characters and cannot wait to see where they take me.

Bloodline is a spin off from the Speed Demons Series. It is book one in a four book continuous series following Marco & Ivy’s relationship. As such, this book does end on a cliffhanger.

Callum & Aurélie’s story has me in an absolute choke hold, so I knew without a doubt that Ivy & Marco’s story would as well (especially because of the sneak peaks that we got throughout Callum & Aurélie’s story) and I was not wrong!

Two sinners, one church basement, rosary’s that haunt both of their dreams, psychotic family obligations, and enough sexual tension to melt the pages. YES FREAKING PLEASE. Oh and we also get ALL of the Grid Gremlins and their hilarious banter? Check.

Margot’s writing is unlike any other author and it’s what I love the most about her. The details that she gives, the depth of those details, and the attention she gives to every single things makes it such an immersive experience. You feel like you are in the story and a part of their lives. And it’s such an incredible experience.

I cannot wait for the rest of the books in this series to come out because I love them all so dang much.

BETA READ - I am absolutely obsessed with Marco and Ivy. Their dynamic and the banter and THE CHEMISTRY! These two had me sweating from the heat. The Feral Grid Gremlins chat might be one of my favorite text chats to ever exist. These six people are imbedded into my soul. I will never not scream about them to everyone I see. Margot’s writing is so beautifully poetic. I can honestly say I haven’t read another author like her. I am honored that o get to read her stories in their rawest form and provide feedback. These characters are my heart and soul!

Doing a reread slowly to add highlights to my copy because there are so many special moments!

“I came here because when everything went bad, you were the only place I thought to go.”

The storyline really sucked me in and it all started with the anonymous church basement meet cute. Marco and Ivy connect instantly. They have that thing. You know what I’m talking about. That moment that changes everything. And it just grows from there. The banter, angst, and chemistry led to the best build and the heavier themes definitely made this more engrossing for me. I’m loving where this is going and look forward to Bad Faith.

Thank you for the ARC, Margot!

The angst that contrasted the vulnerability, the passion that rivaled the intimate moments, finding sanctuary and comfort in each other to lessen the unwelcome, forced family drama. Marco and Ivy’s chemistry ignited, their layered complex characters a perfect pairing. They got to be themselves, they started to make their own choices, build their own loyalty, and that was beautiful. There’s a lot more left to Marco and Ivy’s story and I am quite looking forward to the next release (this is Book 1 of a 4 book continuous series)

Marco and Ivy's story is wow. I am obsessed and love how Margot brings these characters to life. Right off the bat, I knew I was going to love Ivy and Marco as much as I loved Callum and Ari, these two just have so much chemistry. The tension, the push and pull, the way nicknames, that was perfection. Also I love how Marco is with her cat.

If I could give this story more stars, I would, it definitely deserves it. One of my favorite reads this year so far.

*cue TikTok sound byte* I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!

Truly, I have been looking forward to Ivy and Marco’s story since feeling their tension in the Speed Demons series- the banter, the pull, the unmistakable draw to each other. And Bloodline did not disappoint!

I can’t wait to see what comes of their story as Sins of the Bloodline continues

Thank you Margot for this ARC copy

The first time I read about Ivy, I could feel how fierce she was but ngl, I was a little suspicious about how she met Aurie. But now that I have the other part of the story... 🤯 yeah, I didn't see that coming.

Ivy and Marco were fire back in Speed Demons and you could feel the tension between them. Now, reading the backstage of those scenes? Yeah, makes totally sense.

But the new plot here got me hooked even more than before.

Arrange marriage? Yep, I've read soooo many of them. But one where the man is the one being trap in an awful family? That's new.

This is just getting started and I'm bringing popcorn for the next one. Cause I'm ready to see Ivy in action.

ARC Review: 4.5⭐️
Bloodline is book 1 in the Sins of The Bloodline series featuring Marco Bianchi & Ivy Sinclair.

After meeting these two in Speed Demons, I couldn’t wait to deep dive into their story and boy I wasn’t disappointed!

Ivy gets herself into some hot water at work and is told by her boss she needs to try and get into motor sports anyway possible. That evening she goes to a meeting at a church and as fate would have it she meets her ticket to the paddock.

Marco and Ivy meet at a meeting and end up going out together after. when she tells him about her goal to get into motorsports, he offers up a solution to her problems and puts a plan in motion to help her.

Marco’s family is putting severe pressure on his future and when he finds himself backed into a corner, he turns to Ivy for support. Ivy is required to travel with him to meet his family in order to help represent him, and this one finishes as they arrive. What will happen after the initial meeting and will the bloodline cause further issues?

Just like speed demons this is a continuous series so be mindful that this one ends on a cliffhanger and Marco & Ivy’s story will continue to play out in 3 additional books, more details coming soon!

Thank you Margot for the ARC!

This was so good! Margot has the most unique and immersive writing style, and I absolutely love it! I have been dying for Marco and Ivy's story, and their first book did not disappoint. I loved how viscerally you can feel the tension between them and their banter was so perfect! The way the plot built up in this book was great, and the way it left off has me so excited for the next book! This was just such a perfect start to the series!

(I received an advance reader copy for free, and these are my honest thoughts)
