Fast-paced, high-stakes, and absolutely sizzling—Double Apex by Josie Juniper is a breathtaking ride through the world of Formula 1 racing and forbidden workplace romance.

Phaedra Morgan is a force to be reckoned with: a brilliant math prodigy and one of the best race engineers in the game. She’s fiercely dedicated, sharp-tongued, and totally over dealing with cocky drivers—especially Cosmin Ardelean. But Cosmin, with his smoldering charm and devil-may-care attitude, hides a vulnerability that’s impossible to ignore. When sparks fly and their secret “arrangement” turns into something deeper, Phaedra and Cosmin have to navigate forbidden love, their own messy emotions, and the relentless world of racing.

🔥 The Chemistry? Unmatched. The banter between Phaedra and Cosmin is electric from page one, with their fiery dynamic evolving into a tender and heart-melting romance. Cosmin’s Romanian endearments? Swoon. Phaedra’s guarded vulnerability? Relatable queen. Their journey from reluctant allies to lovers is as exhilarating as a last-lap overtake.

💔 The Emotional Depth? Gut-wrenching. This isn’t just a steamy workplace romance—it’s a story of grief, self-discovery, and healing. Phaedra’s struggles to prove herself in a sexist industry and Cosmin’s haunted past add raw, emotional weight that left me teary-eyed more than once. Their growth, both individually and together, is messy, real, and oh-so-rewarding.

🏁 The F1 Backdrop? Perfection. The high-stakes world of racing creates a vivid and thrilling setting that amplifies every twist and turn. From team dynamics to on-track drama, it’s clear Juniper knows her stuff. Fans of Lauren Asher or Cross the Line will feel right at home.

✨ Final Thoughts: Double Apex is more than just a romance—it’s a story of passion, perseverance, and the risks we take for love. With its gritty, flawed characters and unputdownable tension, this book is an emotional rollercoaster you won’t want to miss. Josie Juniper has delivered a masterpiece, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next.
