Book Blurb:

All’s fair in love and racing...

Charlotte Walker’s at an impasse in life. Not sure what her plan is after graduation, she jumps at the chance for a little breathing room to explore her options while traveling the world with her brother and his Formula 1 team. What’s even better is being around Lucas Adler, AlphaVite Racing’s star driver and tattooed Greek god come to life. He’s been her crush for years and being together in such close quarters, their sizzling chemistry can’t be denied.

Lucas knows Charlotte is off-limits. She’s the gorgeous younger sister of his best friend and teammate. Despite their easy banter and draw to one another, he’s learned the hard way that crossing lines can destroy relationships. Now as constant companions on the road, Charlotte, with her charm and infectious energy, challenges him at every turn and sees him in ways no one ever has.

As feelings grow, they both must decide if their relationship is worth the risk of losing everything or if their happily ever after is a prize to be fought for at the finish line.

Drive Me Home is a spicy Formula 1 romantic comedy with heart, heat, humor, and a guaranteed HEA. This is the third book in the Drive Me series and can be read as a standalone, although reading in order is recommended for the best experience!

Review:

Charlottes an aspiring designer traveling with her brother who is an Formula 1 driver all the while trying to resist the temptation that is her brother's best friend, fellow f1 driver, Lucas. Charlotte has always had a crush on Lucas but he's always been off limits. He's her brother's best friend, he's older than her by 8 years, and he's a hot shot formula 1 racer... surely he couldn't ever see her as anything more than his best friend's little sister right? Lucas is still reeling from the fact that his brother is dating his ex, the very ex he wanted to get back together with. Then there's also the fact that he refuses to break bro code so when his feelings for Charlotte only grow as she spends more time on the circuit... he knows he shouldn't be spending as much time with her or falling for her... but the heart wants what it wants... and Lucas might have to risk his friendship for a chance to be with the girl of his dreams. This was such a fun f1 romance with the "brother's best friend" x "age gap" relationship. I had a blast reading this and as an F1 fan this was just adorable. Its the third book in the series however you can read it as a standalone ( but honestly I would highly recommend this overall series!). It's such a fun read and the romance was so well done. Lucas just cares and supports Charlotte so much, it was so sweet. I loved their relationship and the "friends to lovers" vibe that they had going on. It's a wonderful book and I can't wait to read more from this author!
