4.5!!
For my F1 girlies looking for a series to read, this is it. I already adored the series from the first book, and this was SUCH as strong second.
Maddix, wanting to get a leg up in her marketing company, joins a meeting with a new hot shot client. Unaware to her, this meeting is with the playboy of F1, Cruz Navarro. In order to sign a contract with Cruz, the company puts in a stipulation that Cruz leans up his act and settles down. Rather than choosing any of the girls vetted, he chooses Maddix to play the role. Maddix is thrust into this new world and into Cruz's arms.
I loved this. I love a reformed playboy, first and foremost. The banter between the two was top tier and the mouth on Cruz, phew. My favorite part was that these two were not afraid to rile one another up and call each other out on their faults. While there definitely a sense of insta-lust, I do feel like the two learned about each other more before developing actual feelings for each. The gradual falling in love was a joy to see on page.
Also, for anyone who likes F1 or may be new to the sport, I feel like this book in particular does a great job about teaching you different parts of the sport since Maddix is learning the ropes as well!
Thank you so much to Valentine PR and K. Bromberg for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
