Faster Series Book 1: Off Track by Leslie McAdam

Faster Series Book 1

We’re battling to be on top—in more ways than one.

Cristian Rivera and I have spent years locked in a contest to be the highest-ranked racing driver in the world. When he forced me off a track seconds from victory, it was the last straw: I confronted him in his hotel room, intending to teach him a lesson with my fists.

Instead, he kissed me, and now everything is tumbling out of control.

I thought I was straight. Now I’m questioning. And I can’t seem to stay away from him.

Hooking up with Cristian is a terrible idea for so many reasons.

Our rivalry fuels sales, and if what we’re doing gets out, we and our teams could lose millions in sponsorship money. We could even lose our jobs.

I’m the Ice Man, always calm and controlled, in line to the Swedish throne. Dating a fiery Spanish driver is the last thing the aristocracy would want me to do.

Most importantly, I can’t fall in love. Open-wheel racing puts our lives at risk every time those engines roar. I can’t afford to get attached to another driver. I couldn’t bear it if someone I love got hurt—or worse.

Despite all that, when Cristian crashes, the whole world sees me race to his side.

Will our feelings for each other be stronger than the forces dragging us apart?

Off Track is a contemporary MM sports romance about race-car drivers. It features Cristian Rivera, Spanish racing royalty, and Jasper Nord, literal Swedish royalty. These guys secretly rendezvous in Swiss ski resorts, Singaporean gardens, and yachts off Monaco. Off Track is the first book in the Faster series of stand-alones, which also features books from Victoria Denault and Regina Kyle.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

When I saw this new book by Leslie coming out, I knew I had to get my hands on it. That first chapter alone hooked me! We start off with Jasper racing and his thoughts wandering to his rival on the track, Cristian, and just when he hears and sees Cristian get into an accident, he reveals the two of them hooked. Then! Surprise! Let’s back it up to two years earlier to how these two rivals got to that point. And it all started with another race. A race where Cristian won and Jasper was none too pleased. Confronting him wasn’t the best idea, but hooking up? Just plain reckless. An enemies-to-lovers story I really adored! Cristian and Jasper have always been pitted against one another when it comes to their racing. But when the two actually get close enough to one another? A chemistry and attraction between them sparks into something neither could have imagined. They realize there is more to the other and they have a lot in common when it comes to their feelings on and off the track. It was so sweet to watch these two fall in love and try to forge their own future knowing that revealing what they meant to one another would be anything but easy. Their banter and rivalry was so fun and their romance epic. You definitely don’t want to miss this story!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
