F1---that stands for finishing a book in one day, right? Ok, I may have never watched Formula One, but I know romance and this book had a podium finish. Karen Booth brought the speed, spice, and sassy banter in this 5-star F1 romance!

Mia is an intelligent woman who has gone viral for her bold podcast about F1 called 'Not So Fast'. Although she has many degrees and has had many jobs, she has never found the perfect job for her. That is until now. Maybe she can turn this podcast into a career because it is something she is passionate about and loves to do. But with anything worthwhile, she faces backlash from an F1 driver that she criticized. Xander. He is a Brit who is trying to get his footing in his F1 career. The pressure is on and it doesn't help that his shortcomings have been put on blast because of the podcast. When he meets Mia in person, thanks to his not-so-friendly teammate, they don't get off on the right foot. Xander doesn't think Mia should talk about a sport she doesn't seem to know much about and Mia is standing her ground on her critiques. They didn't expect was to actually see each other again, but that is coming sooner than they thought.

During the season, they get to know each other and see how similar they actually are. Xander recognizes the passion she has for the sport, is amazed at how smart she is, and he can't help but be attracted to her. And Mia is feeling the same way. But they want to keep things professional because neither needs bad publicity right now. But the sexual tension breaks...more like explodes. And being together begins to take precedence.

Can they commit to each other and tackle the spotlight? Or will they stay in their own lanes and move on?

I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. I admit that I have never seen F1 or read a book featuring the sport, but I have gone down a rabbit hole attempting to catch up on the sport. Karen Booth writes for readers like me. Readers who enjoy a romance with heart, banter, and steam. Mia and Xander's chemistry was top-notch; they literally had me staying up till 3 am just so I could finish the book! Totally worth it! Above all, I enjoyed how relatable these characters are. Yes, they are both famous in their own ways, but they each have their insecurities. Mia was so good at making Xander see his worth and he helped her see hers too. I already want this book to be released so I can chat about it with everyone. BTW think this book would make an awesome movie! As I was reading I could picture it coming to life in my head. That's how I know when a book is great in my eyes!!
