Synopsis

“Of the recent crop of Formula 1 romances, this one’s way out in front.”  -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review

When the curves are this dangerous, only a race car driver will do… A sizzling, high-octane Formula One rom-com you can read in one sitting!

Mia Neal is a champion overthinker. Find something, fixate on it and spiral down. Fortunately, she puts that energy to good use: in a podcast about Formula One, her favorite sport in the world. There’s nothing about racing Mia doesn’t adore. The speed. The drivers. The fierce competition. The single-minded ambition. Ironic for a woman who’s changed careers more times than she can count.

Only now, her salty takes on gorgeous Brit driver Xander Bishop have gone viral, and the podcast feels more and more like what she’s meant to do… Then Xander’s teammate invites her to the Miami Grand Prix to see F1 up close—and get in Xander’s head. He’s not exactly delighted at the shade she’s been throwing his way.

It should be all-out war. Instead, Mia and Xander are stunned by the sudden crackle of…something sexual arcing between them. It’s irresistible, unbelievably hot—and Mia’s warning flags are waving. Because this reckless attraction is coming at Mia all too fast…

Afterglow Books are bold, fast-paced romances you can read in one sitting. Don’t miss any of these other fun titles…

Goodreads review by Eleanor on May 29, 2025

Not So Fast is a sweet and simple romance following Mia, an F1 podcaster gaining popularity after her no nonsense commentary, and Xander, her favorite driver, who is struggling with the new racing season. This was such a fun story! While the romance leaned a bit insta-lusty, the fast-paced plot made......more

Goodreads review by Iqra on March 29, 2025

This was a really cute read. It’s ur regular romcom and I enjoyed it. There was definitely some points where I got slightly bored but it would quickly pick up and pull me back in which was nice. The third act wasn’t as bad as I was dreading which I’m sooo glad about. They were mature and made some g......more

dnf 50% unfortunately it’s a dnf for me and i’m honestly kind of sad because the idea of the book was truly incredible. i won’t go into the details but basically there is a girl who started a podcast where she shares her opinion on the sport, teams and drivers. as the season goes she makes it clear t......more

2.75⭐ A huge shoutout to Harlequin Publishing and Karen Booth for providing the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion! I've been looking for F1 books ever since I read the Dirty Air series by Lauren Asher last year. Safe to say, there aren't many GOOD books with this setting. So I greedily grabbed th......more

4.5⭐️ Such a fun F1 romance! The FMC is a podcaster who went viral for insulting the MMC’s driving, so it is a bit of an enemies to lovers (sort of). They end up falling for each other and fake dating and their romance was so cute! I loved the banter between them and really enjoyed the audiobook narr......more
