I was so nervous to read this book as people don't like it, but it was so good. I know nothing about F1 but it was easy to follow along with and was easy to understand. I do wanna continue the series as I wanna learn more about F1 and wanna see how the other books are! I loved how we got an influencer aspect from the FMC as I never see that in books, and I need recs with that trope/aspect in it!

Quotes:
- “I think love is about happiness and sacrifice. Comprising instead of arguing. Having someone who is always there for you even when you don't deserve it. Loving someone means you want to spend the rest of your life with them on the good days and the bad days and everything in between.”
- “I thought winning the World Championship was the best thing, the only goal I had for a long time. Shit, was I wrong. I realize today that the best thing includes winning with your loved ones.”
- “If it were another life, I’d probably do right by you. I’d take you on dates and try harder. But that’s not who I am or how I was raised. I don’t know how to be the kind of emotional guy you desire.”
- “Because I already called dibs on you.” His intense gaze makes me shudder. “You can’t call dibs on people. You sound like a B-list rom-com.” “But I fuck like an A-list porno.”
- “Fear is not always a weakness. It’s what you do with the fear that shows your true strength.”
- “Santiago, please come collect your sister. She fucks up everyone’s work schedule.”
- “Keep talking. I love hearing your voice.”
- “I'm into Maya. Like really into her.”
- “I think you’ve ruined me.” Her whispered voice rings through the quiet. Shit. That’s the best thing I’ve heard all day.”

Tropes:
 - Brother's Rival to Lovers
- Friends to Lovers
- Forbidden Romance
