Drive Me Wild

Drive Me Series, Book 2

By: Carly Robyn

Narrated by: Rupert Channing, Faye Adele

The stakes this season have never been higher …

Josie Bancroft may be single, but she is definitely not ready to mingle. All she wants to do post-breakup is focus on herself. A simple task, but as a marketing manager for McAllister Racing, she spends every race weekend alongside the charismatic Formula 1 driver, Theo Walker. With his iceberg-melting smile and abs sharper than a cheese grater, he’s a distraction she shouldn’t entertain but can’t seem to ignore.

Theo has mastered two things in life: winning races and wooing women. But this season, both are being put to the test. His team’s new owner is threatening his hard-earned seat, and the one woman he wants has placed him in the friend zone, despite the fact that their attraction is hotter than his car’s engine.

As Josie embraces her independence and Theo struggles to cement his place within the racing world, they’ll have to decide if they want to fuel the flames of their friendship or forever wonder what could have been.

A steamy romantic comedy with lots of heat, heart, and humor.

Drive Me Wild – Carly Robyn
4.25 stars ⭐️
Carly Robyn is a “new to me” author and I am so glad I found her books. This is Book 2 in the Drive Me series.

Formula One racing romance is a new genre for me – I am a hockey, baseball, and football romance girl but loved reading about this new sport.

Josie Bancroft (FMC) is the marketing manager at McAllister Racing spending every weekend along side her girl bestie Ella Gold (Book 1 FMC), and Formula 1 drivers Blake Hollis (Book 1 MMC) and Theo Walker (MMC). Theo and Josie are friends and consider each other their best friends. They have traveled the world together because of the race events and have experienced so many great things together. Josie tries to help promote Theo and his image on social media but she spends more time trying to undo some of his unconventional content but that is who he is – boisterous and a true lady’s man. After one tequila fueled night where they hook up, things get very interesting.

Theo is trying to navigate his place in the racing world because his father was a very well known driver committed to the McAllister team for life. Theo’s father lost a battle with MS and Theo continues to live in the shadow of his legacy and wants to be his own person, his own driver identity. His contract is coming up for renewal and a new CEO has been named to the racing team. Just so happens that the CEO is the father of an ex girlfriend that did Theo wrong in the past and seems that the CEO is out to ruin Theo’s name in the racing world.

Meanwhile, Josie has just gotten out of yet another controlling relationship and has made the commitment to herself that this is the year just for her and to take time to realize who she really is. Hooking up with Theo Walker for anything more than friends with benefits is not on her BINGO card. But, our boy, Theo is anything but relentless in his pursuit of Josie (and her boobs – the names he comes up with the name her boobs is a riot). They agree that they will continue on the path of friends with benefits only because Josie isn’t ready for more.

Of course, Theo is not OK with that and turns up the romance level and does anything and everything for Josie to prove to her that he is more than just a friend. The slow build of them realizing they are falling for each other is the perfect pace throughout the book. The banter between them and the banter that Theo has with anyone is really well done.

The third act breakup in this one was a bit rough but was needed and really make you think about who Theo really was and how hurt Josie could be.

The side plot of Josie’s mom being a sex therapist and sending her “toys” all the time is so good. I can only imagine her horror every time she received a package from her mom.

There some excellent scenes of Theo dealing with the death of his father and the fact that his mom has moved on and some insights his mom had shared with him about his dad’s legacy.
I really liked this book for so many reasons.
✅ New Romance type – Formula 1
✅ Great pacing of the storyline
✅ Great side characters that have their own story in Book 1
✅ Great character building for the series

I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Book 1 and then Book 3 when it is released.

Happy Reading friends! Peace ☮️
