AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
Her brother’s best friend sends her heart racing in this sparkling Formula 1 romance.
 
Formula 1 driver Dev Anderson’s career is on the line. After a social media disaster leaves him with an angry team and sponsors threatening to jump ship, he needs someone to help save his image. At a party in Monaco, he bumps into the woman who can fix it all. There’s just one problem: she’s his best friend’s little sister. And, okay, maybe there’s another problem—he kissed her last year and hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it since.
 
Recent college grad Willow Williams needs a job. She may have a talent for seeing the bright side of any bad situation, but it’s hard to stay positive when she’s struggling to get hired. So when Dev offers her a temporary solution, she can’t help but say yes. Even if it means ignoring the crush she’s had on him since childhood.
 
Willow and Dev are determined to keep things strictly professional, regardless of old feelings and the blazing chemistry between them. But in the glittering and high-stakes world of Formula 1, some lines are meant to be crossed…

      Soltani’s slow-burning debut finds South Asian Formula 1 driver Dev Anderson desperate to win back his sponsors after his bitter former PR manager shares a series of embarrassing sexual posts on Anderson’s social media. He hires his best friend Oakley’s sister, mixed-race aspiring sports manager Willow Williams, who has mobility issues, to help give him an online rebrand. There’s just one wrinkle to their professional relationship: the long-simmering feelings that neither will admit to. Both view the relationship as off-limits because the last time Willow got involved with one of Oakley’s friends it ended in disaster. But as they navigate the misogynistic and often racist racing circuit, which takes them from Monaco to Abu Dhabi, the chemistry between them only intensifies. Soltani’s sensitive, diverse take on the typical sports romance is a breath of fresh air, helmed by a sexy cinnamon roll hero. Unfortunately, the plot drags in some places, especially as the stakes of Oakley learning about Dev and Willow’s involvement with each other never feel particularly high. Still, readers looking for gentle sports romance will want to check this out.

      Willow Williams has been infatuated with her brother's best friend, Dev, for as long as she can remember. Maintaining their friends-only status through distance and determination is no longer an option when Dev, now a successful Formula 1 driver, offers Willow a job salvaging his image after he was wrongfully implicated in a social media disaster. Can Willow stay in her lane without letting a crush interfere with her career, or will their chemistry make it impossible to pump the brakes? Soltani makes a delightful debut with this funny, feel-good sports romance. It's the first installment in her "Lights Out" series, so listeners might note some of the supporting characters and subplots that are certain to make a much-anticipated return in the next book. Nerissa Bradley gives an expressive, engaging performance as Willow, and Vikas Adam voices Dev with a strong, sexy timbre, but his women's voices sometimes border on farcical. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a steamy, sporty contemporary romance. Recommended for fans of Elena Armas, Tessa Bailey, and Libby Hubscher.--Lauren Hackert
