![]() Not only did I love that there is actual racing within the book, but I also love the culture around, which you'll see and explore. She slowly sees the real Noah Slade and starts falling for him. □) Throttled is about an F1 race team who already has their superstar racer (Noah Slade), and they signed on his enemy as one of his new teammates (Santiago Alatorre.) Not only is there tension between the drivers as well as amazing backstory per each driver, but Santiago's sister (Maya) is also traveling with him during the race season. (I've never pre-ordered an audiobook, so this means a lot. (I'm so glad that I did!!) I'm only slightly annoyed that I can't listen to them all back to back, but the rest of the audiobooks are on my pre-order. Book one: Throttled has been on audiobook for a bit, but now seeing the preorders for the rest of the series, I gave it the green like to come off my TBR. Yes, yes, yes, yes, a million times yes!!! As a woman whose husband is very into F1 racing, NASCAR, race cars, ATVs, motocross, aka anything with an engine, this was a dream and the perfect read for me!! Lol This has been on my TBR for quite a while, but as a mostly audiobook listener, I've been patiently waiting for them to be released. Story + smut = Smutory, but the smut is goooood. I just severely disliked her reading style. ![]() ![]() And I just want to say, it wasn't her accent that was the problem. Her cadence was unusual and I felt like she chopped up sentences in weird ways and emphasized words that I wouldn't have. She was the reason I had a hard time getting into the story. Ramona Master, on the other hand, was a huge disappointment as Maya. I would love to read other stories that he's narrated just because of how talented he is at portraying the emotion of the character. He did amazing and I loved every chapter of his. The voice actors: Aiden Snow voices Noah and gets 10/5 stars. The end wrapped up beautifully with satisfactory resolutions to all of the conflicts. It took a bit for me to get into the story line but by the time the FMC and MMC got together I was swooning. I even got into the racing parts, which is something I thought I had no interest in. The story was engaging, full of dynamic characters, and a ton of anticipation and spice. such as fuel supply issues, a clogged fuel filter or air filter. Overall, I still enjoyed this book and am excited to read about the other guys in this F1 world.The Story: This story was a little longer than I typically like but I think it worked with listening versus reading. I was running the boat at 3/4 throttle when all of a sudden the outboard motor starts. I’m so glad the epilogue and extended epilogue gave me another peek into this softer side of their relationship. A scene in Noah’s last race particularly had me rooting for them as a couple. As a huge formula 1 fan, as soon as I heard about the dirty air series, I just had to read them. I didn’t truly get invested in their relationship until closer to the end of the book when they started to have sweet moments together rather than passionate moments. I think that’s because Asher was trying to show Noah as a guy with a rebellious front that she put on in public and a soft side in actuality. Noah was a sweetheart, but his personality did feel like it boomeranged a little too much. Maybe some serious moments mixed in with the fun and games. ![]() They just kinda become automatic friends and I wish I could have seen more development in their relationship. I wish there had been more friendship moments between Maya and her best friend, Sophie. I knew pretty much nothing going in so I liked learning more about the sport in this way. It was a lot of fun to travel the world and learn more about the F1 world. However, I was interested in the plot so I stuck around. To start this off, I have to say that the writing was not amazing (not bad just not great). It had an adventurous plot, a protective brother, and one soft boy with a protective shell. I loved being introduced to the F1 world and sport from this book. Genres: Adult, Sports, Romance, Contemporary
