the drive me series

I loved this book SO much and can’t wait for readers to get their hands on it!!! Carly Robyn is debuting with an absolute knockout of a love story with sharp, witty writing, hilarious banter, and gorgeous backdrops where all the different races are located. I loved the characterization and development of each of the leads and had so much fun getting teased about the next couple in the series!!

This book was EVERYTHING! I read it in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Filled with banter and tension, while also having soft, heart aching moments, this book is one you do not want to miss. If you’re like me and you’ve never read an F1 romance, don’t let that deter you. Carly does a wonderful job describing what is going on, while also creating side characters you fall in love with!

author's content note

This book is written in a light and humorous style but does touch on subjects that might not be suitable for everyone. Mentions of anxiety, panic attacks (one on-page), explicit language, sexual assault (past, off-page), self-medicating with alcohol and drugs, references to absentee parents, and death of a parent (past, off-page) are present in the novel. It is a slow-burn, open-door romance that portrays sexual content and is meant for readers 18+.
