Pole Position
by Rebecca J. Caffery
Thank you so much to Harper Collins UK & NetGalley for the advance copy!
The ebook is available now!
F1 Romances have been my jam this year but this one is the first time I have read one that explored male/male and a teammate. And I absolutely loved it! The first half was a little bit slow but it helped build the tension between Harper and Kian.
It's hard to say who I loved most because I have such a soft spot for both of the men. Their personalities couldn't be more different and yet somehow it worked out. I love that Kian brought out this homebody side to Harper. Harper had a lot of past trauma that played into his relationships and here comes Kian who just bulldozed his way into his life. Harper tried to deny those strong feelings until it practically ate him up inside. Kian is at the top of his game but is ready for life to just slow down a bit. He has such guilt for missing out on time with his niece and nephew and more importantly time with his mother who is battling Parkinson and is nearing the end. He has rituals and things that calm him. Harper is young and still in his party stage which is not where Kian is.
"I try to slow down and just exist in the feeling of being enough. It's strange and unsettling. And also wonderful."
I love that we got both POVs as it helped to know what each character was thinking and feeling at the time it was happening. I did feel bad for Kian a few times because he just wanted Harper to be all in and it was just hard for Harper to do that. The 2nd half of the book it really all came together. Even when they had their little conflict, you knew that there was still so much love there. Kian had a lot going on and I was so happy to see that Harper stepped in and be his emotional support.
Overall this was such a fun time and you do not need to be an F1 follower to enjoy! I am curious if this would be a series because I would love to read a Johannes story.
PS - Who was driving the motor home?! That was my biggest question LOL
