Bad boy Brit driver and Southern uptight event planner meet and fall in love in under 24 hours. Only this time, it’s a snowstorm that traps them instead of a flood. Super short and cute.

I really wanted to like this one but I found the characters more off-putting than charming. The mystery was needlessly convoluted. And the reader getting the true ending but not the MCs? Just disappointing.

Super short F1 romance. Lighthearted and cute, just be willing to suspend your disbelief. Needed more line editing tbh. Overall, more of a short fanfic than anything, but I’m still reading the rest!

Problematic origins and author aside, this was riveting. Loved the characters and the Douglas Adams-esque writing style. Quirky, heartfelt, overall a good read.

Nico and Rocco both join a racing team as drivers, neither able to stand the other. Slow burn, enemies to lovers, found family, and hiding a secret past— it’s all here. Plus racing! Can’t wait for the next book!

LOVED the plot, but couldn’t get past the dialogue choices (I’m Southern, I know how we talk). Characters felt flat. Book also needed a content warning or two. Effective and emotional but the book kept getting in its own way.

My fave of the series! Fake relationship between champ and rookie (to hide her real relationship with a musician) eventually becomes real. Great balance of racing and romance, even with the clunky dialogue.

A spinoff from the Violent Delights series featuring a FMC with superhuman powers. I’d definitely read the first series before this, as it’s hard enough to track three warring factions without knowing the backstory. Good twist ending!

Taking place about a year after book 1, we follow besties Lucie and Brett through page after page of yearning and denial, which drags on a bit long. Less racing too. Easy but frustrating read.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

A grief-stricken teen finds herself with psychic abilities when a strange guy crosses her path. Have they met before? Honestly, I wanted to smack the FMC for not being able to connect the dots. Still, an easy YA read.

While technically an F1 romance, you could take F1 out of this book and make it about regular millionaires and it would still make sense. HUGE on spice but little character development. Not much resolution at the end. 🤷🏻♀️

I’m a fan of thrillers AND theatre, so this was my jam. From a director’s standpoint, this is fascinating; as an actor, this is all over the place. I believe the idea is stronger than the execution but would still be fun to stage!

Daisy, a caterer, falls for an F1 driver who’s already spoken for. Took me a while to connect to any of the characters, tbh. Enjoyable but felt longer than needed. Predictable, but still a good story of love vs. infatuation.

When the world is ending, Emily, an Artificial Consciousness, may be mankind’s only hope. This book looks at what it really means to be human and the ethics of dependence on technology. Sci-fi reading without being overly technical.

Good balance of F1 and romance, this follows the story of a social media manager who falls for a driver. This skips “will they?” and heads straight to “WHEN will they?” Predictable, but still sweet.

This one hits different given the political climate. The inspiring story of an orphan and a Tuscan family tasked with protecting art during WW2. A tale of friendship, community, and beauty. In darkness, there is still hope.

I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I only have ever heard glowing things said about her as a person.
We should all be so lucky to be remembered that way.

I love a good thriller. This retells the true story of the 1920s murder of Dot King through the eyes of her maid, a detective, a betrayed wife, and a female reporter. Heartbreaking and captivating, an absolute treasure.
