An engineer looking to prove herself. A driver in need of a comeback. One race season to win it all…

Sienna Skye is a race engineer at GreenSkye Racing, one of the top F1 teams, crunching the critical data so their drivers perform their best on the racetrack. As one of the few female engineers in the sport, she’s determined to show everyone she’s capable of winning a championship for her team.

Finn Di Santis is a driver whose steely determination and killer instincts used to win him Grand Prixes and racing contracts. Now, he’s scraping by at the bottom of the leaderboard with only his charm keeping the sponsors happy. All Finn has ever wanted is to race, but his dream might come to an end if he doesn’t start winning.

When an opportunity arises for them to compete together this season, it could be Sienna’s biggest career moment and Finn’s chance at the comeback of his life. With the cameras and pressure on them, the race is on for Sienna and Finn to fall into sync and bring home victory. As their reluctant partnership turns into something more complicated, Sienna and Finn begin to wonder if there’s more at stake here than their careers. If they can learn to trust each other, they could be the perfect equation to winning it all. But can they make it through the season with their hearts intact?

Fantastic cast and great story

Had an absolutely fantastic cast, transitions between characters were great. Especially loved the audio effects of speaking on radio. Super cute story that definitely gave more insight to the goings on in racing. Definitely a recommended listen!

Best audio and effects ever! More like a movie with just audio!

Listened to the first 30 min and wanted to stop but knew all the great reviews couldn’t be wrong. They weren’t!!! The amazing audio efforts and narration made you feel like you were almost there! Even if racing isn’t of interest, it’s not mine, but found this book fascinating and well written.

F1 girlies MUST READ ASAP

What a production!!I am a F1 fan so my worlds collided. This book really captured the sport from technical terms-building strategy-high performing athlete mindset and most importantly its male dominance. Putting women in STEM front & centre through the brilliant and lovely FMC had me hollering! F the glass ceiling. MMC reminded me of Daniel Ricardo a lot(IYKYK). Oh and to add Netflix DTS into the mix was so entertaining. I was squealing. The conversations between the FMC and MMC privately and on the race radio had me on edge and fawning over them. Perfect match. I need all the F1 girlies to read this ASAP

I’ve never even seen an F1 race!

I’ve seriously NEVER watched F1 (or most any kind of) car racing - but I took a shot with this book because the preview drew me in. It was fully entertaining! First, I have to hand it to the talented narrators & production team - the audio, the sfx & the way it was all layered into the story was very compelling. Add in the narrators & of course the story over the other elements & you have a wonderfully fun & nicely written journey with romance, girl power (which was awesome to hear), a comeback story. A very pleasant listen.
I would RECOMMEND this book!

Absolutely delightful

This was my first racing story and I loved it. An absolutely delightful listen. I hope there is a sequel.

Masterpiece with a focus on women in STEM

If you’re looking for an audiobook that delivers not just a captivating story but an immersive listening experience, this one truly stands out. The characters are exceptionally well-developed and balanced, each with distinct personalities that draw you in. Their accents add an extra layer of charm, making them feel even more authentic. The numerous voices was such a bonus, adding depth and engagement that I've seldom experienced. The sound effects are seamlessly woven in, transporting you right into the heart of the story—whether it’s the roar of the track, the sounds of the pit, team radio channels, or the thrill of the cockpit during intense moments. The interweave of the track announcers was a creative - and stellar - approach to setting up each of the races. I think I've become an F1 fan!

What thrilled me most was the strong focus on women in STEM, a refreshing and inspiring theme that gives depth to the narrative. The emphasis on teamwork and mutual support sends a powerful message to all listeners, reinforcing the idea that success is not just about individual brilliance but about lifting each other up. This audiobook is a perfect blend of engaging storytelling, rich audio production, and meaningful themes—definitely a must-listen! A rare story that drove me to immediately listen to it again!

Really Surprising!

As a fan of “Drive to Survive” and Aussie Danny Ric, I was pleasantly entertained and really like this. I was worried this was going to be over the top cheesy. While it was predictable, the author is a fan too and knew how to write the interactions btw a driver and engineer. Great performance from the cast. This is a “fade to black” romance, so only kissing…which is good if you have kids getting into the car and you’re not quick enough to turn off or change. 🤭

Such a fun read!

I have never had any experience with Formula 1 racing, but after this book I might check it out! Loved the plot, loved hearing how she guided him through the race courses, loved that they addressed sexism in a male dominated field. Excellent narration and the racecar scenes were edited to sound like you are listening through headphones as they talk to each other, it really brought the book together. Loved this story!

So cute

Love the interplay of the phone calls, they gave me the giggles you get in the early part of a relationship, they were spot on! Not spicy but a fun quick listen. The performers in this reading are absolutely fantastic

the radio scenes, the announcing, it didn't feel like a book it felt like I was at the track again. 🥺😍

I loved the way I felt the emotions throughout this book. As a race car driver it felt good to know the author understood racing, the behind the scenes. and the terminology.
