Throttled
"Noah Slade is a Formula 1 legend in the making. Focused. Unapproachable. Ruthless on and off the track. A man with walls higher than the Grand Canyon. And Mya’s brother’s new teammate. Maya wants more of the prince who disguises himself as the villain. But while she craves a happy ending, he wants to destroy his. Maya Altorre is a forbidden temptation. An ambitious post-grad I should stay far away from. And chaos wrapped with a bow. They’re a ticking time bomb, about one wrong move away from exploding. He wants to trip the wire, detonating together in passion and pain. Because in the end, all’s fair in lust and war."
Throttled by Lauren Asher was a blind BookTok recommendation to myself. I, with mild carelessness, added it to my book list and also asked for it as a Christmas gift from my partner’s mom. Now.. this novel is way saucier than I anticipated. It is the first in a series of three. I thought that the writing style was very predictable and distracting in it’s clunkiness. Don’t get me wrong, this is an easy read and the sauciness wasn’t entirely unwelcome, but it appears to be a majority of the plot. I enjoyed this read, but I will not be indulging myself in the rest of the series. It isn’t necessary either, as the plot line is safely and entirely concluded within this.
