“We’re a fucked-up pair, but my broken makes you whole. Your broken has made me whole. Now it’s time to let those breaks heal. For the scars to fade like nothing ever was.” – 3/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: car crashes, picking up girls in bars, house parties, marketing ideas, terrible diseases, baggy clothes, sexual assault, and big legacies.

Spencer Riggs is sexy, intense and driven in his pursuit of all things racing.
That pursuit now includes me.

The cocky bad boy of racing struts onto my father’s team like he owns it. One look from him and I can tell he thinks he owns the boss’s daughter too.

I’m determined to resist that panty-melting smile he keeps flashing my way. I have no time for distractions. Fulfilling a last promise to my father is my only goal.

Race after race, city after city, I do my best to keep it professional. I swear I do.But one night after a hard-fought win, we’re celebrating, and Riggs claims his own sweet victory. Me.

His sizzling touch owns my body, but it’s the broken man beneath the public façade who slowly wins my heart.

Before I realize it, Riggs is the one I’m willing to risk everything for. Even if it means breaking a promise. But with our hearts on the line, will he risk everything for me?

A steamy, forbidden sports romance from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg!

This was my first time reading a Formula 1 romance book, so I had high hopes when I picked this book up. Overall, the story was a little… weird. There was something slightly off about this story that I can’t put my finger on yet. So let’s talk about it!
After some thought, my conclusion is that I struggled with caring about the characters and the plot, if I’m being honest. Even though I think the characters were okay-ish – besides the guy being a douche, them being bland and not having chemistry as a couple -, they weren’t the biggest issue here. I think what makes this book so awkward is the number of weird events that move the story forward. For example, that bar scene where he hits on her in a bar felt unnatural and weird – plus the way he talks about her and how wearing baggy clothes makes her “ugly”. The book has so many weird and awkward moments like that.
To add to the mix, the pacing felt off, the romance was meh, there were missing true connection moments, the banter was… not that interesting.
If you’re into the workplace romance type of trope, you might enjoy this in some capacity. I’ve now read more books in this series, so I definitely say to continue reading because the next stories are way more interesting.
