“Are you challenging me to win the Grand Prix for your hand, Graywood?”
“If you think winning would be a challenge, I guess not.”
He points at me, a real scowl on his lips. “Put your headphones on and sit where I can find you later, micetta. You’re about to watch the best race of your life.”
Lilah never imagined she’d be trading hard-hitting political documentaries for the roar of Formula One engines. Thanks to her boyfriend and co-owner of their film-making business, Max, she’s suddenly thrust into a world she can’t stand.
Her hopes sink even lower when she meets Arthur Bianco, an enigmatic reserve driver who flirts his way out of every media crisis. But when Max blindsides her by ending their relationship and stealing the company she built, the last person she expects to help her pick up the pieces is Arthur.
Reluctantly, they strike a truce: he’ll help her regain control of her documentary, and in return, she’ll film his epic racing comeback and earn him a spot with his former racing team.
The enemy of her enemy is a Formula One driver desperate to break free from his contract. But an unexpected speed bump forces Lilah and Arthur’s partnership to evolve into a fake relationship that feels all too real with sparks flying both on and off the track. Now it seems like her next big story might be more personal than she thought…
What did I think?
There are not enough romance books set in the world of Formula One so good on Madge Maril for writing such a fast-paced and pulse-pounding novel filled with action and romance.
Lilah Graywood's neurodiversity means that she prefers to stay hidden behind her camera while she films her subject. That suits Max, her partner (both business and romantic), just fine as he pushes himself into the limelight as the face of Black & Graywood. I loved Lilah immediately and at the same time detested Max with a passion. That dirty rotten snake!
When Max ends their professional and private relationships, Arthur Bianco, the moody and flirty F1 driver who Lilah was filming, decides to keep the cameras rolling on one condition...Lilah is the one behind them. Take that Max, you sneaky little cheater! Which coincidentally is something I say when watching F1 in real life!
The romance between Lilah and Arthur starts out as fake in an attempt to release Arthur from his contract but it soon feels pretty real and it doesn't just get hot underneath Arthur's race suit. There's a bit of steam but nothing cringeworthy and the up close and personal scenes are as well-written as the rest of the book.
Thrilling, entertaining and romantic, buckle up for the ride of your life in Slipstream. It's a must-read for romance readers who are fans of F1. I enjoyed every millisecond of it and highly recommend it.
