Book #2: Throttled

----------------------------------------

I finished "Throttled" by Lauren Asher!

This book contains 44 chapters + an epilogue + extended epilogue and took me around 6 days for me to finish.

----------------------------------------

Rating: ★★★★☆

The ending was really cute. The book didn't bore me, and it kept me entertained, even as someone who doesn't know a lot about F1 racing.

I had a small slump near the beginning of the middle, but it quickly picked up again. I also think that this book could have potentially benefited from being longer. I would have really liked it if we were given more detail.

One note, this book does contain cliche couple tropes, but I love those. I decided to point this out just in case you don't like such tropes.

All in all, this book is a really good pallet cleanser. It's a cute, refreshing romance, with enough stakes for me to care and love the characters as they develop. I will be continuing the series!

My extended thoughts + review including spoilers will be posted later!

“Throttled” by Lauren Asher

Description:

Noah

Maya Alatorre is the sister of my teammate... and my new obsession. Keeping my distance during the Formula 1 season should be easy, except I always find ways to see her: press tours, pre-race rituals, sponsor events and black-tie galas. The more time we spend together, the stronger my desire grows.

Sneaking around with her is one thing, but wanting more? Never going to happen. She might be a distraction dressed like a daydream, but no woman is worth risking the championship title over. Or so I thought.

Maya

Noah Slade is Formula 1 royalty and my brother's biggest rival. When I'm invited to join my sibling while he competes for the World Championship, I promise to avoid Noah at all costs. Twenty-one races, two drivers who hate each other, and one forbidden attraction I can't ignore.

Developing feelings for Noah wasn't part of my plan. But then again, neither was anyone finding out. Turns out the man I was warned about happens to be the one I can't stay away from - even if he breaks my heart once the season comes to an end.

Book #2: Throttled

----------------------------------------

The second book I have chosen to read for this blog is a book that has been on my physical TBR for a while!

I have read “The Fine Print” written by the same author, so I am looking forward to this. Hopefully I finish the series by the end of this year! I will also post a review and my thoughts when I finish this book.

Book #1: I Really Am a Slag Shou!

----------------------------------------

I finished “I Really Am a Slag Shou!” by 你的荣光!

This book contains 181 chapters + 2 extras split into 8 arcs, taking a total of 3 days for me to finish.

----------------------------------------

Rating: ★★★★☆

I was satisfied by the ending, the main couple, and even the side couple, but it didn’t give me as much excitement as I wished it did. There are some features and moments that are weird, and the book didn’t make me feel hollow when I finished it—like how my 5 star-rated books do.

If you are looking for more romance than serious world-buildt fantasy and love having many different couple tropes, than I recommend it!

My extended thoughts + review including spoilers will be posted later today!

”I Really Am a Slag Shou!” by 你的荣光!

Description:

Chi Zhao binds with the slag shou system, and if he succeeds in his missions, he will be rewarded.

But who said life is easy!

A rich old man who was slagged by him: “I know you love me. Your past pains, I’ve already investigated them.”

The star admiral who had been slagged by him: “Don’t be reluctant anymore! I’ve always known that you didn’t betray me.”

The entertainment mogul who was slagged by him: “Don’t make any noise. Honey, will you come home with me?”

The prince regent who was slagged by him said, “The mountains and rivers are yours, but you are mine.”

The dark sentinel who was slagged by him: “Now, do you still want to say that it is not my child?”

…

Chi Zhao burst into tears: “Boss, believe me just this once. Let me get the reward, okay?”

Thinking that the acting is very good, in fact, every day he’s spreading meng.

Book #1: I Really Am a Slag Shou!

----------------------------------------

My first read on this blog will be something in my comfort zone, a.k.a., danmei!

This one has higher ratings, yet is long (by my standards). I will post a review and an extended version of my thoughts when I eventually finish.
