“I think love is about happiness and sacrifice. Comprising instead of arguing. Having someone who is always there for you even when you don't deserve it. Loving someone means you want to spend the rest of your life with them on the good days and the bad days and everything in between.”

Enjoyed but does not have a lasting effect aside from the fact that it’s the first book I’ve read that revolves in the F1 world so I was really in for a ride and learned a little bit more about race car driving.

Main trope: Brother's enemy to lover

Okay, it's a first for me to encounter this kind of trope since it's sort of an enemies-to-lover. It's a kinda insta-love where both main characters immediately got attracted to one another. Sometimes, it's fine but for this book, not really. I buddy read this with a friend and seriously, all my comments are about them being so horny I just want them to do it so we can progress with the story (Plot Twist: nothing much happened though).

I was pleasantly surprised by this one after starting Dreamland Billionaires which was cool, but didn’t do a ton for me. I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. This is a forbidden romance between a budding vlogger and her brothers F1 racing rival. I really enjoyed the progression of these characters relationships especially for the MMC who actually takes accountability for his own healing. This was also perfectly immersed in the sport itself. I’ll definitely be continuing the series!

Lauren Asher never fails. I didn’t think I’d go for the whole bad-boy racer thing but damn if Throttled changed my mind.

I think Noah & Santi’s relationship could have been a bit more fleshed out. Also, someone who has been the vicitm of childhood and domestic violence does not get over it after a few weeks of therapy.

Didn’t enjoy the perspective the book was in. The overall plot was super cheesy but like in a well preformed way. Kinda predictable. Spicier than what it appears. Got me into liking hot f1 racers though 🤭. Like F1 is up there with Hockey players right but their are not any high quality edits on tik tok which is extremely disappointing.

3.75 stars. This was pretty good. I liked it overall but if I'm being honest with myself, I didn't really like this book until the last about 140/50 pages. Other than the last portion of the book I really had a problem getting into it. I hated Noah for most of the book but I did feel bad for him when it came to his dad. He was so full of himself which I don't find attractive at all. The audacity he had times man. Other than that I hated him until he redeemed himself with Maya. After that I liked him. Maya was sweet but she fell a bit flat for me. I'm not saying main character need a huge struggle but it just seems like stuff came really easy for her and she was just kind of there. I feel like she needed something.I also decided to look up F1 Racing since I never heard of it before and needed a visual lol so that was fun. I am excited to keep reading the rest of this series though. Liam and Sophie's appearances has me excited for the next book! I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
