My Review : 

A female F1 race winner, now this is what I call a book that can tell young adults that no matter what you can do anything you want! And that it isn't just for men to do these things, us women can do them just as better. 

Georgia goes from racing on the track, to using Luka one night at a celebration to get rid of an annoying ex, to being put into a fake dating relationship for funding and press coverages with Luca. She also races along side her brother Henri and another female team member.

Georgia battles out racing to with her brother Henri, making sure that she is better than him and making him fight for a placing. While Luca has a complicated relationship with his parents, with having the impossible role model to keep up with and be better than. Why, because his father was once upon a time a world championship race driver himself.

While Georgia sits at the bar, Luca comes along to get a drink and then the ex (name) comes along being the annoying person that he is. Unexpectedly Georgia uses Luca and the same visa versa to play with his feelings and to get rid of them. What I didn't expect was that they would actually kiss, and what everyone else could see was they thought that it was actually a relationship happening and finally coming out in public.

The Valkirie and Hermes racing team PR come together with a plan, to use Georgia and Luca as a fake relationship to attract more funding and not loose the funding that they have already. While Georgia helps Luca realise why he loved racing, and help him to be a better person, while Luca helps Georgia with her issue with the media/press she has no control over her sassy comebacks, and the anxiety while being in front of the reporters and media outlets. 

Well that was an unexpected turn of events, when I thought that this would be a fake dating relationship, but in reality it seems to be something more than what is expected. With feelings running wild, thoughts being there, and a friendship/relationship blooming.

Will this Love/Hate relationship between Georgia and Luca become something more than a fake relationship, will her family actually approve of it if anything does come between the couple, can Georgia overcome her anxiety and sassy attitude with the media and will Luca overcome his loss of love for racing? I guess I'll find out more in the last 50 percent of the book which is where I am at as I am reviewing as going along.

Racing wins, and racing mishaps, racing scandals, reporter scandals.

The reporters, finally she stood up for herself and told them what was what. The way that they treated her cause she was female racing (suppose to be mans place) was not ideal.

It took a race crash (Luca car on fire) for her to realise just how much he meant to her, what she wanted from him. The nerves that she had were high waiting to find out if he was ok.

And then a happy ending for everyone, and a perfect story written. This was amazing and I really did enjoy reading this book and cannot wait for more. And to see where Georgia and Luca get to in another book that is for sure.
