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?

Fun

Overall, it was a fun listen. I’m not sure why sometimes it was duet narration and other times it was just dual. Other than that, no complaints!

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!

Racing sounds

No changes in voices between male and female, made it hard to follow along but overall nicely done

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.

Heart Racing

Loved the slow development of the romance between Finn and Sienna. If you love someone who cares what the world thinks! Racing chapters were intense.

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.

Great story

I loved the sprinkles of the races. Very cute story. I liked it a lot

Everything I wanted and more

When I say I want an F1 romance, THIS is what I want. Focused on the storyline, some of the romance, but without being 90% cringey smut. My only regret is finding it too early that I don't have 8 in a row to binge.
I did laugh the whole way considering the disclaimer that this is purely fictional and not based on anyone real, when there's an Aussie heartthrob struggling and going for a comeback (it's ok, I wanted this to be the Danny story too), a British woman in the paddock whose father founded a team and has a special attachment to Silverstone/Sommerstone, someone who refers to themselves a smooth operator lol. It was so much fun finding these little Easter Eggs.
I would like many more of these please !

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!
