Rookie Mistakes by Beth Laycock Release Blitz

Can a rookie mistake lead to love?

Mitch Griffiths is an ordinary man just trying to make ends meet. He lost everything thanks to his ex: his restaurant, his partner, his home. So, when his dad gifts him a ticket to the British Grand Prix and a Silverstone Driving Experience, well, a change of scene for the weekend couldn’t hurt, could it? Even if Formula 1 is kind of boring.

Robert Andilet is a veteran F1 driver on his returning season after a six-year absence. He has a lot to learn, not least of which is how to deal with the media attention, a “rivalry” between him and his rookie teammate, as well as his attraction to a man who readily admits he thinks F1 is tedious. It was a rookie mistake to let Mitch walk away after their first meeting, will Robert make the same mistake again?

This M/M romance from Beth Laycock features a famous/ordinary man, older MCs, and is set in the high-octane world of Formula 1 featuring fast cars, spectacular crashes, heated rivalries, and of course, a HEA.

Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Rookie Mistakes is the final installment of the Lights Out series. The Lights Out series is a multi-author series, and each book can be read as a standalone and in any order.

Robert Andilet is returning to the F1 circuit after being gone for six years. He signed with a rookie team and is trying to prove to himself and to the team that they belong among the well-known drivers and teams. When Robert finds himself having to drive fans around the track as a F1 fan appreciation. What he isn't expecting is the quiet man who doesn't seem to be a fan since he has no idea who he is. And something about that draws Robert in.

Mitch Griffiths finds himself losing everything due to the fault of his ex-boyfriend, Leo. Mitch trusted him to be taking care of the business side of their restaurant business, but Mitch found out too late that wasn't the case. Forced to move back in with his parents isn't what Mitch wants to do, but he was left with nothing. When his dad, a huge F1 fan, gifts him tickets to the race and a driver appreciation ticket, he has no idea that an actual driver was going to be the one driving him around the track. What he doesn't expect is to be attracted to the man, so when Robert invites him to dinner after the race he can't help but want to get to know him better.

Mitch and Robert worked through long distance and having a text and video call relationship, but they got to learn so much about each and that made the moments that did get to spend together that much more special.

I was so invested in this entire series. These have been the first F1 books I've ever read, and I am hooked. This was a new-to-me author, and I couldn't have been happier with this author’s style and attention to detail. I can't wait to read more.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is another hugely readable book in the Lights Out series. If you have not read the others yet, well you are in for a treat! Each written by a talented author, and with crossover events to enjoy, I have found each one to be very engaging.

Robert Andilet has been out of F1 for a while, but he took a seat in a team low on the grid with high hopes of improving their lot. Whilst at Silverstone, he meets Mitch at a 'meet the drivers' event. Amusingly, Mitch has no idea who he is, and whilst definitely attracted to him, has no expectations that the feelings might in any way be returned. The rest, as they say, is history, but we get to go along for the ride and enjoy them finding their way to each other.

Mitch is pretty jaded due to a failed partnership resulting in him losing his business and his savings, let alone the man – and now finds himself living with his parents and working in someone else's restaurant. Being in a relationship with an F1 driver seems ridiculous in the circumstances; however, Rob is worldly wise enough to know that this is something special and worth the effort. He proves this multiple times, and I loved the low angst of their relationship.

It worked out just as I would have hoped, with them staying very much in character throughout. Another very enjoyable addition to the series.

Black Flagged by Emma Jaye Release Blitz

Will a Black Flag end love before it leaves the starting line?

Dren is a mercenary, not a babysitter, yet protecting an F1 “bad boy” from his own recklessness is his next contract. The media darling everyone loves to hate is annoying as hell and a target both on and off the track.

Staying close is the only way to protect Karl from himself and others, but the forced proximity reveals the man behind the uncaring, flippant mask. In public and private, Karl craves attention, but it's not Dren’s job to provide it. But Dren can’t help falling for Karl’s provocative passion, and he shouldn’t because when the contract ends, he’ll return to the organization that holds his soul.

Karl avoids people he can’t trick, charm, or buy, and his new bodyguard falls into that irritating category. But before he knows it, Dren’s imposing presence becomes his seatbelt in the rocky, perilous world of F1 because there’s genuine concern and interest behind the gruff exterior.

When a fiery crash gets Karl suspended for dangerous driving, can the pair find his mysterious enemy before Karl loses his career and Dren?

This M/M romance from Emma Jaye features an arrogant F1 driver with a hidden past and a bodyguard who is in way too deep. Set in the high-octane world of Formula 1, it features fast cars, spectacular crashes, heated rivalries, and of course, a HEA.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
I am really enjoying all of these Formula 1 based M/M stories by a group of talented authors. Although each one can be read as a standalone, the stories interlink – and in this one, we finally get to read Karl's side of the story!

Karl Neumann, the bad boy of the circuit, the one most likely to cause others to hit out – in one case, whilst holding a koala which got dropped! It has been very easy in earlier books to dismiss him as the rich nephew of an owner, racing only due to his parentage and the money to make him a reasonable driver.

Well, be prepared for a completely different side to this man! As we get to learn about his family history, the threats which he hasn't even clocked, and the real way that his family come by their money... let alone how Dren, his bodyguard, was raised to behave! WOW!

I was fascinated by the insight into an Albanian brotherhood of the most horrific violence, but honour. I loved that Karl and Dren found the person who valued the other more than themselves, but in that very act understood that they too had value.

Really great way to turn it all around, and to see incidents both on and off the track from a different viewpoint. That it also provided a scorchingly hot romance was just the spray of champagne on the winning trophy!


Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Black Flagged is the fifth installment in the Lights Out multi-author series. Each book is made to be read as a standalone, BUT you get so much more out of them if you read them in order.

Karl Neumann is the "bad boy" of Formula 1. Fans love him and other drivers love to hate him. He's egotistical and conceited but that's what he wants everyone to believe. Throughout the rest of the books in the series, you get to see what other racers see in Karl. In Black Flagged though, you get to see a side of Karl you never expected. When he's not "on" for everyone else, he's a completely different person. I can honestly say I wasn't excited about this one since Karl just rubs me the wrong way in other books, BUT I loved seeing the other side of him. And Dren... hot damn, Dren was everything I needed and more. I was so invested in the suspense and thrill of this story. I loved getting a "darker" read involving F1.

Emma Jaye is a new author for me and if they are anything like Black Flagged, I am looking forward to going through the rest of her back log!

 

 

EMMA JAYE is the #1 Amazon bestselling author of angsty, dark MM paranormal, scifi, and contemporary series, including Incubus, DeMMonica, Paint, Lies, and Malthusia.

Born in Hungry Bottom (yes, it's a real place) as an unexpected twin, she was destined to be a little different!

She loves putting damaged, often sweet and funny characters through hell before letting them have a well-earned HFN or HEA.

Writing sci-fi, paranormal, and contemporary romance with m/m, m/f, and multiple partner characters, she concentrates on men who love men these days. She blames her rebellious muse (who looks like Chris from the Paint Series) for the hot aspects tickling the angst, and the humor cuddling up with the hotness.

She always answers questions and comments from readers, so feel free to get in touch.

Scoring Points by H.L. Day Release Blitz

Can two warring team principals in the cutthroat world of F1 ever admit that there’s more to life than scoring points?

On the surface, Kurt Whitford has everything. A successful business. Good looks. Money. A famous popstar girlfriend hanging off his arm. And as the icing on the cake, he’s just been announced as Nebula’s new team principal. The downside? The opposition. It's seventeen years since Kurt has seen the infuriating and irresistible Gio Rossi, but the man hasn't changed a bit.

Whatever Kurt Whitford has, Giovanni Rossi can surpass. Well, except for the girlfriend. Despite needing to keep his sexuality on the down low, he’s not that far in the closet. And if Kurt thinks that Gio’s ready to let bygones be bygones, he couldn’t be more wrong. Gio hasn’t forgiven. Or forgotten.

As a long-rooted rivalry kicks off once more and sparks fly both on and off the track, can Gio and Kurt go head-to-head without the media getting wind of their true feelings? Or is their undeniable sexual chemistry about to prove their downfall?

This M/M romance from H.L Day features enemies-to-lovers, opposing teams, secrets that go way back, and suppressed feelings. Set in the high-octane world of Formula 1, it features fast cars, spectacular crashes, heated rivalries, and of course, a HEA.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is part of the wonderful F1 M/M series which I am enjoying greatly – thanks to all the talented authors.

Kurt and Gio are now team principals in F1; they knew each other in their early racing days – Gio had all the support from his family, something which Kurt certainly did not. They did not part on good terms, as young drivers, but now have to be in pre-race meetings together, and lead their teams in an honourable way. This could be a challenge when their feelings clearly still run deep, and the hurt has not entirely disappeared.

I loved the mixture of F1 team dynamics, and the need to consider the visuals of two opposing principals spending time together, but also the benefit of someone who understands exactly what you are going through – hugely engaging and deliciously romantic.

Another winner for me!


Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Scoring Points is the fourth installment in the Lights Out series. Lights Out is a multi-author series that can be read as a standalone but characters from other books are sprinkled throughout. I do recommend reading all the books in the series to get the full effect of the series and characters.

Kurt Whitford is Nebula’s new team principal. It's his first season as the principal but he's been involved in racing almost his entire life. When he was in his teens, he was a kart driver, and his biggest nemesis was Giovanni Rossi. Kurt's had a lot of firsts with Gio, but he was so confused about his sexuality that he knew being gay wasn't something that was accepted by his father or racing. So, for seventeen years he's hid who he really was, and he's thought about Gio but never contacted him until they find themselves against each other on the grid.

Giovanni Rossi has always dreamed about being a team principal. He knew if he couldn't drive and be the best, he'd be a principal. When it's announced that Kurt Whitford will become the team principal for Nebula, all those feelings from seventeen years ago come rushing back. And if antagonizing Kurt and getting under his skin gets a reaction from than man, he's willing to do whatever it takes.

This is a new author to me, and I loved all the angst with this one. It was so well written. I loved seeing Kurt's walls come down until he felt comfortable with who he really was. Gio and Kurt were enemies, but the line between love and hate is thin.

I can't wait to see what's next in this series!

 

 

H.L DAY grew up in the North of England. As a child she was an avid reader, spending lots of time at the local library or escaping into the imaginary worlds created by the books she read. Her grandmother first introduced her to the genre of romance novels, as a teenager, and all the steamy sex they entailed. Naughty Grandma! Romance novels were forgotten for a while when real life got in the way: university, clubbing, work, moving to London, and more work.

When life settled down (slightly) H.L Day stumbled upon the world of m/m romance. She remained content to read other people’s books for a while, before deciding to give it a go herself.

Now, she’s a teacher by day and a writer by night. Actually, that’s not quite true—she’s a teacher by day, procrastinates about writing at night and writes in the school holidays, when she’s not continuing to procrastinate. After all, there’s books to read, places to go, people to see, the gym to visit, films to watch. So many things to do—so few hours to do it in. Every now and again, she musters enough self-discipline to actually get some words onto paper—sometimes they even make sense and are in the right order.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is part of a connected series written by a group of very talented writers and I have enjoyed them all so far – and am looking forward to the others.

I really, really enjoyed the premise of this book and would love to think it was based on reality, as it is just such a fun idea. The cover picture is cleverly designed to give a Formula 1 fan an enticing idea of who it might be!

Mateo and Dean have been a couple for three years, completely on the quiet. When Dean is asked to join Mateo's racing team, they know that they have to be honest with the team principal. This, for me, set the story up to be one I would enjoy, because they were upfront with the team, and so all the possible disasters and miscommunications got taken out of the game. It also meant that we know, as they do, that those people in the team who know have their back. In a world where they drive cars at 200+mph it is important that there is trust, just as it is in a close relationship.

There is a lot of humour, love, passion, and racing in this story – and I am going to say no more so that you get to it fresh and I am sure will enjoy it as much as I did. I will never watch a race build up again without wondering, and smiling at the thought!


Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Pole Position is technically book three in the Lights Out multi-author series. It can be read as a standalone, but I feel it completely reads better if you read what has come before it. You won't be missing any information if you choose to just read this one though.

Mateo and Dean are already in a long-term relationship after meeting in their teens. Dean gets a spot on the Cadigan Racing team, the same team Mateo is already racing for. They both think that being on the same team will make their racing life and relationship easier. What they don't expect are the little blips in their relationship on the way.

When I first read about Dean and Mateo in Team Orders, I couldn't wait to get their story. I loved getting an already established couple and getting to see the day-to-day battle of making that relationship work. Mateo was fun and light, and Dean seemed so serious, but together they are perfection!

I can't wait to see what's next in the world of F1 racing!

Lennox Bradley is following in his father's and brother's footsteps as an F1 driver. His father, Andrew, is a past champion and the owner of the team with the goal of making Lennox and his older brother the one and two drivers for Bradley racing. Lennox was just pulled up as the reserve driver and has a PR nightmare happen. Connor has been called in to turn the disaster into a positive. Lennox knows he messed up and has to do what needs to be done to make it right but the longer he's in F1, he realizes it's the last place he wants to be.

Lennox has made Connor's job harder, but Connor sees glimpses of the real Lennox. The one that he keeps hidden, and he can't help but want to learn more. Sleeping with someone you are representing isn't a great idea but falling for Lennox is the easiest thing Connor has ever done.

Lisa Henry is a new author to me, as well as F1 since starting this series. I enjoyed everything about this read. The pace, the romance, the angst. I honestly could not put it down. I can't wait to check out Henry's backlist as well as what comes next for this series.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is one of the Lights Out series, which I am enjoying a great deal. I love Formula 1 and these books are really giving a different perspective on what "could be" in a seemingly very 'straight' world.

Lennox has been called up as a F1 reserve driver to join his brother. His father owns the team, and the second driver is just waiting until he is passed over, so that Lennox gets a drive. This is not what Lennox wants at all – he is much more interested in developing new talent, but his father wants his sons to race. After a bit of a PR disaster involving a koala, the team's PR guy, Connor, has to rehabilitate Lennox.

I loved the evolving relationship between these two guys. Thrown together due to the incident, but both realising that there is a forbidden attraction, and the danger of being outed. Whilst Connor lives his truth, he is all too aware of what that could cost Lennox.

A very entertaining read, thank you!

 

 

LISA HENRY likes to tell stories, mostly with hot guys and happily ever afters. But they've gotta work for it! No free lunches on her watch.

Lisa lives in tropical North Queensland, Australia. She doesn't know why, because she hates the heat, but she suspects she's too lazy to move. She spends half her time slaving away as a government minion, and the other half plotting her escape.

She attended university at sixteen, not because she was a child prodigy or anything, but because of a mix-up between international school systems early in life. She studied History and English, neither of them very thoroughly.

She shares her house with too many cats, a dog, a green tree frog that swims in the toilet, and as many possums as can break in every night. This is not how she imagined life as a grown-up.

Lisa has been published since 2012, and was a LAMBDA finalist for her quirky, awkward coming-of-age romance Adulting 101, and a Rainbow Awards finalist for 2019’s Anhaga.

Falling for his teammate is as simple as breathing, but their romance threatens to expose them to a media frenzy, leaving Archie facing a stark choice — love or career.

This M/M romance from RJ Scott features teammates, a secret affair, hurt/comfort, and is set in the high octane world of Formula 1 featuring fast cars, driving at the limit, spectacular crashes, heated rivalries, and of course, a HEA.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is one of a new series of books based in Formula 1 (F1) and I am delighted to get to read them, as I am a big fan of both F1 and MM sports romance.

The book starts with a devastating crash which puts Noah's co-driver, Augusto, in hospital and means that rookie Archie steps up from reserve driver into Augusto's seat. I felt the dynamics of this change from the perspectives of Noah, Archie, and the team were really well written, and anyone new to the sport would have felt they gained a good understanding of the world of F1.

Inconveniently, Archie has had a huge crush on Noah since he was a teenager, and this has not gone away, even though he has realised that Noah has no interest in men. Noah, however, remembers the strange feeling of jealousy that he had when he saw Archie kiss a guy after a party a few years ago. But he is also sure that he should not mix attraction to the man with racing him on the track.

As the story unfolds, we get to enjoy two guys breaking the rules, and yet somehow keeping their private life just that! And I should give you a tissue warning – I certainly needed one, if not two, in this book, it really does have all the feels.

I am looking forward to reading more in the series.


Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Team Orders is the first book in the multi-author series, Lights Out. It is a Formula 1 racing series, which if I am being honest have never watched and/or read. BUT Team Orders pulled me in from page one and I couldn't put it down.

Noah's co-driver, Augusto, ends up in a devastating crash which has him barely hanging on to life and in need of multiple surgeries, taking him out of commission for the foreseeable future. This is where Archie, the reserve driver, who is a rookie, takes over as the co-driver or second. Noah has been racing for some time and has had an incredible career but because of sponsorships and the company he drives for, he has to keep himself in the closet. He's out to his family and closest friends but the public has no idea. When Archie is hired as the reserve driver, Noah remembers Archie from an F2 party, seeing him kiss another man. Archie has always had hero worship for Noah. Noah was everything Archie wanted to be and when an unexpected kiss happens between them, Archie is barely able to hide the feelings he has for Noah.

This was an emotional rollercoaster for me. I was brought to tears more than once watching Archie and Noah fight for the career they absolutely love and the freedom to be who they are and love who they want. And I learned so much about F1 that I never knew that I wanted to know.

I can't wait to see what's next in this fun world of racing!
