Definitely took me a few chapters to get invested but once I was invested I had such a good time listening to this. The narrators did a wonderful job and I really enjoyed the banter between the main characters. It was opposite attracts vibes with lots of unresolved sexual tension for a while.
Kian is kinda annoying for a bit of the beginning with all the assumptions he makes with Harper. Their relationship is really cute though once things get sorted out. Giving grumpy x sunshine vibes which was really sweet.
Overall it was a quick and enjoyable audiobook listen, and while I know nothing about F1 a gay sports romance will always have my interest.
Thank you to the author, HarperAudio, and NetGalley for this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
