Pole Position: Get ready for the hottest enemies to lovers sports romance since Heated Rivalry!

While I did very much enjoy this story, I didn’t love the banter…I know it’s an enemies to lovers story but I wanted more sexual tension banter and less “I’m really wanting to be mean to hurt you” so it kind of disconnected me and at times I didn’t really believe in their relationship. I did however love the found family vibes and the character growth of Harper (even if his actions towards the end bothered me a bit) Overall an enjoyable book 4.75⭐️

This is the first time I've read this author or listened to either narrator and I am extremely impressed. Both narrators did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life and expressing their emotions. I was nearly in tears by the end of the book and for once from happiness. Usually I only cry when something tragic happens in a well written story. This book combines some of my favorite tropes in a magical way that had me immersive reading it nearly straight through. - Enemies to Friends to Lovers - Teammates & Sports - Age Gap - Falling for Your Hero - Grumpy/Sunshine - Wild/Responsible - Hurt/Comfort - Banter & Pranks - Tension & Chemistry - HEA w/no Cliffhanger - No External Drama The story starts with veteran racer Kian receiving the news that his best friend & teammate will be out for the whole season. Harper is excited to finally get his chance in the big leagues & is overly excited to be doing so with his ideal. Unfortunately, Harpers nervous enthusiasm comes across as arrogance and puts Kian off right from the start. I saw someone compare the two to Jamie & Roy from Ted Lasso and it is the best way to describe their dynamic. Kian is constantly trying to get Harper to be more responsible, usually by pointing out his faults. Harper is constantly calling Kian boring and old and trying to get him to go out and have some fun. It makes for great chemistry that has you wondering why no one else can see them falling for each other. I would recommend this…

Low spice: 🌶️ I did enjoy the story although I got aggravated with them both at times. I really enjoyed the ending and the personal growth.

“Pole Position” is an enemies-to-lovers romance between two race car drivers. Kian and Harper meet when Harper gets called up to take the spot of Kian’s injured teammate. Kian is not happy with the change, despite Harper’s skill behind the wheel. I enjoyed watching their relationship evolve from antagonistic to lovers. Even when they were at odds, the two men were attracted to each other. Once they finally give in to their attraction, the spicy scenes were very hot. The story was very focused on Kian and Harper, but there were some interesting side characters, particularly Harper’s best friend Johannes. I liked this story and rate it four stars.

I liked this a lot more than I expected with my limited knowledge of Formula 1 racing (at least that’s what I think this is.) Kian is an experienced racer with fifteen years on the circuit and 4 championship cups. He enters this season wondering if it may be his last. Before leaving for his first race, he learns that his teammate had a season ending accident and will be covered by rookie hotshot Harper James. Harper is newer to racing, but he has been killing it at his level. He has spent his share of time in the clubs, and the tabloids have never been shy when it comes to his pictures. He is ecstatic to move up to the top level and prove himself racing alongside his hero, Kian Walker, only to learn that the old saying, “never meet your heroes,” has a ring of truth to it. Kian and Harper couldn’t be more different characters, so their chemistry really is surprising, but the relationship they build is a beautiful one. This story is heart wrenching and sweet. I enjoyed every minute.
