Full Throttle by Lisa Henry
4.0

Lisa Henry has captured the world of F1 racing in all its glory. From strategy meetings to pit lane and the roar of the engines at the start line. She also highlighted the struggles introvert Lennox has to conceal not only from the media but also his teammates. A team which is very much a family affair as it is owned and run by his father and also includes Lennox’s brother as a driver.

Lennox has numerous insecurities when it comes to his place on the team, his sibling and his famous father. An unfortunate koala related incident throws Lennox and Communications Manager Connor together. It’s not long before Connor truly sees who Lennox is and Lennox feels truly seen. The chemistry between them isn’t acted upon immediately but they soon can’t help themselves and things heat up. Their time together is not without some ups and downs which causes some angst before they get a well deserved HEA.

I really enjoyed this engaging read. It gave me some feels as Lennox struggled with his place in the family legacy and all his perceived shortcomings. The F1 racing and romance elements are well balanced whilst nuanced main characters and plenty of side characters keep things interesting.
