4.5 starsSport Romance books aren’t normally my thing, but anything Formula One and my eyes light up, mix the excitement rush of hearing the The Chain by Fleetwood Mac and books and I am in Heaven. I came to reading High Octane: Ignited with an open mind wondering if it would be truly about F1 or just racing in general. I was pleasantly surprised. Ronan is the classic F1 driver personified. Perhaps a old style British driver from the era of James Hunt living life on the very edge both on and off the track comes to mind – playboy and speed demon. Cassidy shows more depth than the beautiful arm candy girlfriends they occasionally focus the cameras on during a race weekend. High Octane was a great read, lots of layers than made it much more than simply a sport romance book – Cassidy having to work through her guilt over the accident, was there something she could have done differently to change its outcome and then Ronan torn between wanting to have the best car to aid his burning desire to be champion or put safety first. A perfect week to release such a book especially as its the weekend of Monaco Grand Prix. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
