Make Your Move (A Formula Next Romance)

I thoroughly enjoyed Make Your Move. When I first realized this was a book about female formula race drivers, I was concerned that it might be completely unrealistic. I should have known better, this is Melissa Brayden after all. Melissa is either an avid F1 race fan, or she did her research. The artistic license was the book being set in a world where a multitude of female F2 drivers even exist. It is a world we want to strive for. The main characters, Sloane and Reese shared certain characteristics and drive needed to succeed in such a competitive sport. Reese had to use her, not only her skill, but her natural charisma and charm to gain sponsors to pay her way. Sloane's previous success as a driver had been funded by family money. It is Sloane's past and expertise that draws them together. It is also her experiencing a near fatal crash, in her past, that nearly pushes them apart. There are some great secondary characters. Reese forms a great friend's group with Delaney, Marissa and Cassidy. We also meet up with Autumn, and her coffee shop The Cat's Pajamas from the 7 Shores series.

What a fabulous book! I knew nothing about F1 racing, but now I'm intrigued! We meet Reese an up and coming F2 driver who meets Sloane an F1 legend. Sloane has been hired by Formula Next Academy as a mentor to all the up and coming female drivers. Which includes Reese. When Reese and Sloane are together they can't help the feelings they both get! But also, Sloane is helping Reese's driving. They're attraction to one another grows as Reese's star rises. I really LOVE THIS BOOK! The intimate scenes are intense and HOT! Whether you love F1 racing or not this book will hold your interest and you'll learn something too. Definitely 5 stars!

I love Melissa’s writing, her sense of humour and banter between characters always makes me smile. This book is no different, another great read!

I read several books a month when the authors I follow have new releases. I have to honestly say, that this book by Melissa Brayden was the best I have read in months. It had me riveted from the first chapter. Awesome read. Made me smile, cry, laugh, and just a beautiful story . Thank you!

This book was way better than I had anticipated, now among my top three reads by the author. I am not a big fan of racing, so I had some concerns, but it was all described in such a loving, not too detailed way so I was immediately sold. Fortunately, the focus is on the characters and who does not love amazing Sloane from the very beginning. It takes a while to also love Reese, she is so cocky in, so ultra overconfident, in her driving as well as in her flirting. Their first meeting is hilarious, Reese flirts with Sloane, the former formula 1 driver, telling her about racing as if she was a dummy, and Sloane plays along for so long. Things get real soon though since Sloane has been hired to mentor a team of promising female drivers. The older Sloane is the perfect mentor for Reese and the others. She knows exactly what is needed to succeed, is super supportive and can even make Reese calm down a bit and listen, she has so much to learn. It all works so well, perhaps even too good since they have the hots for each other from the very beginning and that plays out in such a sweet way, I love loved to read how their relationship developed and no stupid 3rd act break-up. Then we come to the part of the book that I loved the most, Sloane’s struggle, get an insight in Sloane’s past, will she cope being back in this special world and watch Reese and the others race and stand on the side and just being able to watch, hoping the cars keep moving and all are fine. When she also falls…
