Cliffhanger: This ends on a happy for now
Epilogue: No
Should I read in order?
This is book 2 of Juniper’s Frontrunners series. I found it fine alone! I feel like book 1 happens kind of concurrently with this book (this story does take over a year or two to complete).
Basic plot:
After a hot night together, Natalia and Klaus come together again in a work environment.
Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary romance
- hero is a Team Principal for a Formula 1 team
- heroine is a journalist
- Austrian hero
- American heroine
- widower hero
- silver fox hero
- this relationship is over the long haul – it takes place over the course of 1-2 years
- mid to higher steam – 4ish full scenes with some light kink elements
Ages:
- hero is 45, didn’t catch heroine but I think maybe 20s or early 30s?
My thoughts:
This isn’t my usual type of read but I was drawn in by the title and cover!
I liked the set up of this one. And I thought the character depth was really well done. You really get to know both of these mains, their fears and worries and their baggage. And I was really rooting for them!
But my struggle with this one was a few things. I felt like by the end of the book, both of them hadn’t grown as much as I wanted them to. I felt like if the big thing toward the end hadn’t pulled them together, they never would have made it as a couple. And that leaves me doubting the solidity of their relationship.
The book takes place over a long time. And I felt a bit like as they kept coming together and separating it was the same issues repeating. By the end it just left me a bit sad for them and not feeling like they were meant to be together.
The steam was great!
