Billionaire heiress Paisley Nash has led a charmed life, but the only thing she truly wants is to win the respect as a rookie mechanic from her father's race crew. She's determined to prove herself as more than just Daddy’s pampered princess.

Jared Kane lives for one thing—victory, and he’ll stop at nothing to capture the championship crown. Not even the owner’s beautiful daughter will throw him off course.

But as the season heats up, Jared finds his cool demeanor melting under Paisley's fiery determination.

She’s reckless, dangerous, everything he should avoid. Yet try as he might, he can't shake the gutsy mechanic-in-training from his mind—or his heart.

Can their forbidden attraction withstand the dangers of racing and the disapproval of Paisley’s father? Or will the checkered flag fall on their romance before they cross the finish line?

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me up all night reading... *****

The mark of a good book to me is one I think about often after the fact, one that held my interest and kept me turning the pages even after I told myself to stop. But even good books I can put down, especially when I need to sleep.

The mark of an amazing book is one that keeps me up all night.

Friction kept me up all night.

I could not stop reading this book. From the very first page, I was hooked. Normally, it's the hero of a story I love most. Not the case here. Paisley? Yeah, she's the stuff best friends are made of, the kind of woman you just want to hang out with and indulge a little in her feisty energy. I might have a slight crush on her. She's what makes this book extra special. The tension, heat, sexy race car driving, and hot hot hot sex, were all bonuses. Paisley is the primary draw, the confident heroine we all wish we could be, with a spunk that I adored.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Jared, too. He's sex on legs and everything a race car driver should be (which shows fantastic research skills on behalf of the author), but Paisley... she's my girl.

5 Stars. Brilliant. Strongly recommend to those who are fans of sports romance, and even those who are not. This book has it all and then some. (less)

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a great story about car racing! I can’t wait for more books in this series!
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019
I grew up in a family of Formula One fans so I was thrilled that this book was about car racing. It’s plenty explained so even if you don’t know anything about that sport you’ll surely be able to follow the story easily. I found it thrilling and was on the edge of my seat a couple of times when Jared was racing. I loved it and could have read a lot more about that actually.

The story had a great pace and was an emotional up and down for the characters mixed with some of their mistakes and jealousy, as well as some very steamy scenes that will have you hot and bothered. Of course Jared’s career demanded a lot from him and made it even harder for them than any normal job would have done. Added to the hardship of their situation was that her father was his boss, which made any attraction between them a lot more complicated.
But the characters were so cute together and I loved their possessiveness of one another while they didn’t even acknowledge their feelings for themselves.

The Story:
Jared Kane's dream came true, he was offered a contract with Nash Racing and was now a driver in the Formula One racing. He didn't always have it easy in life, but with a lot of work and determination he showed everyone who didn't believe in him that he could make it.

Paisley Nash, daughter of Jack Nash who was head of one of the most successful British racing teams in Formula One, grew up among the drivers, engineers and mechanics. She now had a degree in mechanical engineering in her pocket and wanted to prove that she could become one of the best mechanics in a man's world without the leverage of her surname. She was determined to make them see that she wasn't a little girl anymore but a grown woman who’s fully capable of doing a fantastic job in this field dominated by men.

Thoughts:
Paisley was in between the stage of a girl becoming a woman and making a spot for herself in this by men dominated world. I liked her at times but couldn’t warm up to the moments when she acted her young age. It wasn’t really immature but it didn’t feel very mature either. She was still looking for her place in the world and not yet standing firmly planted with both feet in life. Maybe it had to do with how sheltered and protected she was by her father and his team.

Jared Kane was a great character. Although it started out with him as a womanizer, he became a great guy who showed that he was a lot more than only an ambitious racer. He was such a loving, generous, humble and caring guy; topped with some dominance, honesty and fairness that had me all gooey. While he was a loner on the race track, he was quite the family man at home. I really adored him.

I don’t know if the main character of the next book can trump Jared, but the ending of this story made me really excited for his book.

Paisley and Jared race to the finish line as the hottest couple. These two kept their banter meter on high and your attention peaked. Sexy, funny, witty and engaging describes these two.
A racy storyline with a hot, cocky driver had my attention from the beginning. Paisley was feisty, strong willed, determined and not willing to take NO for an answer. Both loved to win and had one thing in common. That one thing brought them together and exploded into an off the charts romance.
The combination of these two together made for one wild and sexy ride.
You will love this story, it’s characters and witty sexy banter.

This book got me right in the feels. It's got a super hot, race car driving hero, a strong and feisty heroine who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go and get it, and a story that was impossible to put down. The chemistry between Jared and Paisley is amazing, and their story brought tears to my eyes more than once. The excitement of the racing world shines in the story, and adds to the intensity of the feelings. Grab this one today, and you will not be sorry!!!

This brilliant author has outdone herself with this new book!!!!!
Jared Kane has it all. Smouldering good looks, a smoking hot body and a superb racing driver. What more could he want?? The boss's daughter!!. A game of cat and mouse ensues from country to country where messages and newspapers get misconstrued. A terrific book that I tried to last out as long as I could.

Really loved this fantastic book. As I love, love F1 I always been reluctant to read any book with this trope, and this is only 2nd F1 themed I've ever read, but the best!
My first book by Tracie Delaney but definitely not the last! Brilliant, enjoyable writing, fantastic characters and good plot. It has everything a good book needs.

Tracie Delaney certainly loves her sport and I loved this foray into the exciting world of Formula One racing with the delectable Jared Kane and the feisty Paisley Nash!

Jared is an arrogant, cocky, gorgeous playboy and has just landed his dream job as a F1 driver in one of the top teams. He's come from nothing and has fought hard over the years for his success. No-one is going to ruin his chance, least of all the beautiful, smart mouthed, seemingly spoilt, rich daughter of his boss, who also happens to be a rookie mechanic in his pit crew.

Paisley is petulant at times, defensive and has some maturing to do, but she's feisty, sassy and is determined to make it on her own terms, in a very dominantly male world and not have everyone think of her as daddies little princess. I loved that she did the chasing. I admit I had a bit of a love-hate feel about her to start with, but like Jared, I didnt stand a chance and she won me over with her tenacity, straight talking, honesty and determination.

These two created all the sparks together and their chemistry sizzled the closer they got to each other. I love sport, I'm not particularly a fan of F1, but it didnt matter, there is enough to demonstrate the electric atmosphere of race day and the hard work and dedication required behind the scenes, but not so much to distract you from what is a sexy, sweet but explosive, humorous, realistic, beautifully written love story. I'm excited for what comes next in this full velocity world as this one kept me glued to the pages!

I'm a sucker for a feisty MC, Paisley's wit and sarcasm adds humour throughout. Both characters have their own baggage, but watching their growth as they fall for each other or each other over the racing season was so enjoyable.

I really want more F1 romance books like this. It strikes the perfect balance, incorporating the sport and the romance all tied up in the gorgeous package that is Jared Kane.

Words to start this review..

Amazing. Entertaining. THE BEST ONE YET.

By that I mean that this is this authors best work to date, and i have read every single book she has chalked up thus far.

I loved the characters, Jared and Paisley, who were both sexy, had chemistry and were fun to read about and watch their relationship unfold.

I loved the plot and the theme behind it. I enjoyed reading about the F1 scene. My dad is a huge F1 fan so i sort of knew some of the lingo already but this would be the first time that i had read about it in a book.

I loved the way the author brings the book to life. It’s realism but also a fantasy. Like it has that believability factor but still retains that element of romance that most readers of this genre are looking for.

I absolutely adored it and found it refreshing. This series is definitely one to watch and i cant wait to see it unfold. Highly recommend.

Jared is a sexy, hot, arrogant badass driver on his way up in the world, with nothing going to stand in the way of him becoming the best of the best. Enter Paisley... Rich, smart-mouthed, hot-headed but desperate to prove she can make it in a man's world on her own merit, not as daddy's princess. The two of them collide as fast as a racing car out of the pits with non-stop action on and off the circuit. I have to admit I'm not a massive F1 fan,but this book turned me on to racing in a big way. I loved the characters, their back stories and their chemistry. Tracie really does have a gift ...pick up this book and you won't put it down ! Can't wait for more!
