The Race Fever series from New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett continues as one of the hottest drivers to hit the Formula International circuit makes waves across the racing world in Formula Freedom, a forbidden romance standalone.
Reid Hemsworth is still a relatively new face in the racing world but hasn’t wasted any time making a name for himself. No stranger to standing on the podium, Reid’s success isn’t all champagne showers and post-race parties. He may be considered a rising star in the sport, but to his brother, Lance, Reid stole his chance at racing glory and that can never be forgiven.
Lara Candlish grew up with the Hemsworth brothers, the three of them wasting away the hours of their youth riding waves together in the Australian surf. But as they got older and Reid’s career started to take off, their trio splintered under the weight of Lance’s jealousy. In the end, one brother had the career and one got the girl, but they both wanted what the other had.
When Lara
finds herself trapped in an increasingly volatile relationship, she turns to
the one man she knows she can trust above anyone else—Reid. Harboring deep
feelings for much of his life, Reid doesn’t hesitate to bring Lara into his
inner circle to provide her with the safety that she needs, no matter how much
that might infuriate his brother. Their forced proximity quickly uncovers
feelings he thought he’d left behind and Reid is prepared to act on them. But
when his brother finds out that Reid now has the career and the girl, the situation goes from bad to worse.
As the relationship between Reid and Lara intensifies, so does the danger, and one truth becomes abundantly clear. Reid will stop at nothing to protect the one thing he now knows he can never live without—Lara.
I was interested in what would happen with Reid and Lara since we met them in a previous book, and I loved the idea of the forbidden, of becoming involved with someone who had already been involved with someone close to you. And, as the rest is a spoiler, that's all you are getting of that.
I think what draws me to the more forbidden romances is watching the characters try to navigate figuring out how to make it work as the thrill of the forbidden isn't something that can be sustained long term. And a lot of this book was focused on this idea, of them trying to navigate where they are now and where it leaves them.
And, last but not least, this is set in the world of F1. I am a fan, so I was watching for the little details that would mean it was true to the sport, and while they were there, if you aren't a fan, you will still be able to enjoy the story without needing to know anything about the sport.
I enjoyed and recommend this title
