Thank you so much to NetGalley for this post-release ALC.
I liked this a lot more than I expected with my limited knowledge of Formula 1 racing (at least that’s what I think this is.)
Kian is an experienced racer with fifteen years on the circuit and 4 championship cups. He enters this season wondering if it may be his last. Before leaving for his first race, he learns that his teammate had a season ending accident and will be covered by rookie hotshot Harper James.
Harper is newer to racing, but he has been killing it at his level. He has spent his share of time in the clubs, and the tabloids have never been shy when it comes to his pictures. He is ecstatic to move up to the top level and prove himself racing alongside his hero, Kian Walker, only to learn that the old saying, “never meet your heroes,” has a ring of truth to it.
Kian and Harper couldn’t be more different characters, so their chemistry really is surprising, but the relationship they build is a beautiful one. This story is heart wrenching and sweet. I enjoyed every minute.
