3 things about this book:
•Sports Romance
•Enemies to Lovers
•LGBTQ+ representation

ℝ𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodness me, this book was VERY spicy and made for a binge read.

I haven’t read a lot of sports romances, especially with LGBTQ+ representation, but I definitely will be now because * wow *.

Kian and Harper are racing car drivers in what the author has created to be a racing league similar to that of F1. I am not a huge F1 observer, so I couldn’t tell you whether it was factually correct or not, nor do I care if it was!

This story had a lot of romance tropes going on, but I really liked the Enemies to Lovers the most.

I have some thoughts of what was going on with Johannes - would be really interested to read his story!

I love F1, and this was a fun read, you can sort of tell who is based n a real character, and the book read very easily.

yeah this... had potential but didn't work for me. i feel like this author was looking for some sebxcharles or carlando action and ran with it but it fell overall flat. i had high hopes!

This was a great way to introduce myself to the world of F1 sports romances.

The characters are well written, I really fell for them and wanted them to be happy. The pacing of the love story was also really my speed ;)

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for this advanced copy.
Such a fun read. I love how the romances developed between the characters

Opposites attract in this high speed romance.

I'm a huge fan of F1, so basically didn't really get past the cover before deciding I was going to read this, so had absolutely no expectations.

And I loved every second of it.

The F1 racing and calendar seemed accurate which is always a good starting point, and it was full of adrenalin.

Told in alternating view points of Kian, the reigning world champion and veteran of the team, and Harper who has just been called up to F1 last min, and has a bit of a reputation.

There is a massive difference in the voices so it was easy to tell who was how, as Kian is more serious, whereas Harper is a lot cruder, and seemingly doesn't take anything seriously.

Until we discover just why Harper he is way he is at which point my heart just melted.

These are two fiery drivers who will stop at nothing to get exactly what they want. And I was totally there for it.

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

A really fun concept, but felt goofy and I wasn’t overly invested in the characters or their relationship. The inaccuracies to the sport were quite clear throughout, but I can understand that perhaps there might have have been trademark or copyright issues

FINALLY A FORMULA 1 ROMANCE THAT WAS WORTH MY TIME!

If you’re like me & have yet to find a decent F1 romance, well here you go.
Perfect balance of sport & romance. I loved the tension between them. There were a few plot holes that I felt were either unnecessary or could’ve been explained, Especially the drama with Kian’s dad…..

The Forced Proximity in this is CHEFS KISS!

Thank you to the author, the publishers & to netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

OMG. Rivals to lovers is *chef kiss* always. The interactions between Kian and Harper had me giggling. I love how fast paced and fun this story was to read! I couldn’t put it down when I started.

F1 world meets RWRB?? Sign me in every single day!!

This book was amazing from the start until the end and I adored how fast paced it was and the chracther development in it!

The main couple was amazing and delivered one of the best stories ever!

“Pole Position” is an enemies-to-lovers romance between two race car drivers. Kian and Harper meet when Harper gets called up to take the spot of Kian’s injured teammate. Kian is not happy with the change, despite Harper’s skill behind the wheel. I enjoyed watching their relationship evolve from antagonistic to lovers. Even when they were at odds, the two men were attracted to each other. Once they finally give in to their attraction, the spicy scenes were very hot. The story was very focused on Kian and Harper, but there were some interesting side characters, particularly Harper’s best friend Johannes. I liked this story and rate it four stars.

Overall, although this book was spicy, I found it really cosy and such an enjoyable heartwarming story.

This story is an F1 M/M spicy enemies to lovers rom-com. Some of the characters personalities were really relatable and therefore made it even funnier for me.

I was fully invested in both the main characters in this story; I honestly wanted them both to win the races!

I really enjoyed how this story ended; I am such a sucker for a happily ever after.

There was spice in this book but I didn’t find it too spicy; the author kind of just didn’t beat around the bush when it came to the steamier scenes.

So I know nothing about F1 besides the basics of they drive cars around a track and whoever is the fastest wins. I think had I know a bit more maybe I would've liked this more? The beginning started off fine, I started getting more into it and then it just became way to over dramatic for me. Like rolling my eyes dramatic. I may pick up some of the authors future works but I won't be rushing to get to them.

This book includes:
- F1 dramaaaaa
- paparazzi and life as a celebrity
- athlete at the peak of his career and a rockstar rookie
- LGBT party culture
- grumpy-sunshine
- TW: family trauma not on page, death of a parent

This is such a fun romcom. As a huge F1 fan, I was so excited when I saw a sports romance story that explores the world of motor racing. Kian and Harper have such a fun dynamic and their flirting had me kicking my feet and giggling. If you're looking for a quick fun romance, "Pole Position" will hit the spot. My only complaint about the book was that the characters had these big backstories that were never actually explored or explained. I had a really hard time suspending reality long enough to believe that an American former foster kid would ever be able to afford karting or F2 or anything else related to training for the sport.

I received this eBook as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and Rebecca J. Caffery for the opportunity to review this book.

I enjoyed this! Loved how they were both drivers, and it was an easy, fun read, particularly for an F1 fan. Great to see the LGBT representation.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for sending me an arc of this book.

I've been really getting into F1 this year and after reading Offtrack by Esha Patel, absolutely loving it, and seeing Pole Position available to request I knew I had to at least try. And I'm so happy that I did.

Pole Position delivers a great mix of sports and romance.
The story follows Kian, a seasoned driver, and Harper, a rebellious newcomer. Their initial clash evolves into a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, with a lot of banter and emotional highs and lows.
Kian’s calm, controlled demeanor contrasts sharply with Harper’s wild side, leading to some intense moments. The push-and-pull between them was incredible, although frustrating at times.

Overall, the book is a fun, sweet read with plenty of steam and heart. I enjoyed the romance and can’t wait to see where the story goes next.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this e-arc.

I didn’t like Kian one of the main characters, his thoughts didn’t even surround which he didn’t like the other main character he just seemed to constantly be angry with him, before he’s even met him.

It also was based quite realistically around team and just changing letters of drivers names which I don’t like.

I love formula 1 so getting this as an ARC was very exciting.

I loved it! Such a unique take on the racing driving romance by the romance being between the drivers!

It’s cute, has banter, the characters are really well developed and I was so invested in their story. I could not put this book down.
