Throttled Special Edition (Dirty Air Special Edition)

Product Information

I was invested with Noah and Maya and they had some really sweet moments. Some of their witty banter was great, some fell a little bit flat for me. I will still read Terms and Conditions, cause I already bought it and I kinda have to. I'm petty and don't want to waste my money, excuse the fact that I already did but yeah... i fluctuated so much with the characters. one minute i loved Zahra and was riding the Rowan-hate train... then after one small conversation or interaction my feelings would do a reverse uno and it was Rowan i was rooting for while Zahra was the one grating on my last nerve.

Lauren also does a great job of the relationship development with of Maya and Noah as they are both complex people with completely different personalities and outlooks on life itself. I don’t need my characters, heroes in particular, to always be emotionally equipped to handle their feelings. I enjoy them feeling stunted for a while and it’s nice to see and go on that journey of growth with them. I think love is about happiness and sacrifice. Compromising instead of arguing. Having someone who is always there for you even when you don’t deserve it. Loving someone means you want to spend the rest of your life with them, on the good days and the bad days and everything in between.”y’all need to look up the definition of casual in the dictionary bcos i think you’ve got the wrong idea.

I've been reading gossip about those different drivers. Men like Liam Zander and Noah Slade pop up all the time, and you should see what women say about them. Don't get my started on Jax, that manThe tale of Noah Slade and Maya Alatorre is told throttled by Lauren asher. Noah is the son of a Formula One icon who is carving out his history in the sport by winning championship after championship. Noah’s competitive nature is the driving force behind his success, and two years after colliding with Santiago Alatorre, their hostility only grows when they become teammates. Throttled is Lauren Asher’s first novel, and wow, it started with a joke! I was invested in the forbidden love between Noah and Maya from the beginning. This world of F1 racing is glorious, dangerous, and addictive. The glittering, fascinating, and fast-paced world of Formula One, along with a forbidden romance, has you completely enthralled. I honestly had such a good time with this story. I was flying through it and it felt like something my mind needed. These idiots were so cute together! I really liked their romance. The story is set during a fictional Formula 1 World Championship. As a Formula 1 fan for over 7 years, I am aware of the system F1 is based on and the basic workings of the sport. And if you use an actual sport (or city) in your story, it can get risky. If things are inaccurately or nonsensically portrayed, it will fall flat and cause considerable criticism, since it can indicate poor research on the author's behalf. it just needed so much refinement. for real, someone needs to get Lauren Asher and editor. and if she already has one they need to be fired.

There was so much I hated about this book but for some reason, I don't remember any of it right now. that being said. i liked the moments i liked... if that makes sense. if i could cut all the useless shit out of this book, the way this would be soooo good. it had the bones of a good book, just Lauren Asher needed to decide what she wanted this book to be. slowburn or insta-lust? then the grumpy-sunshine, the workplace aspect with forced proximity and the boss and employee dynamic, the talking online but not knowing you know each other in real life...So her brother getting into one of the big F1 teams at the time is very stonks for her. She can follow him around in the name of vlogging and establish herself as a vlogger, and something more than Santi Alatorre's sister. But oh no! She has the hots for her brother's new teammate! Being in kahoots with your brother's rival is an absolute no-no. With coming as a Wattpad bad boy reject, there is also a plethora of other stuff that comes with him as baggage. Playboy lifestyle, daddy and mommy issues, you know the gest. I adored Noah and Maya’s personalities. I’d never seen a sports romance about Formula One until the Dirty Air series. I don’t think any future ones can match it. Lauren’s ability to take you across the world, to different locations and the world of racing is incredible. There was not one single aspect of it that I liked. Not the writing, the characters, the setting, the theme, the profanity, the relationship, the races, the eyebrow in between two scenes, the bUrN- i really tried to like maya but she was just so annoying. and honestly, i can see why she’s unemployed because she is SO INFURIATINGLY STUPID??? the only reason her vlog was successful was because she had a supposedly famous brother and because noah (don’t forget his blue eyes) made guest appearances in her vlogs. i have nothing against vlogs, and i’ll admit that i enjoy watching vlogs because who doesn't want to know unnecessary details about someone's life but something about maya’s youtube channel was just so juvenile. i was surprised to see that this book was published in 2020 because she was still doing cringy shit like 'tequila talks' and the newlywed game on her channel (i don’t remember what the games were called but they were drinking games you'd only see single people who base their self-worth on their relationship status in low budget christmas movies playing). i thought we left that behind in 2016.

star solely because Noah has the balls to go to therapy at last and Santi is the only character with braincells here.

Customer reviews

Noah Slade is a world-famous F1 racer for Bandini, and he is the best. He has three world champioships under him, but his world is flipped upside down when his team hires a new driver to be his partner, Santiago, who is also his rival. Maya Alatorre has just graduated college and decides to travel with her brother Santiago for the season of Grand Prix's, and that's when she meets Noah. She is working on her vlog, trying to get her name out there, and decides to start vlogging behind the scenes about the races and interviews with the drivers growing her viewers. She is warned by her brother to stear clear of the other drivers, but she can't seem to stay away from Noah, and they aren't able to hide from their attraction to one another any longer. When her brother finds out about their secret relationship, will he forgive her? One of the things that I liked, except Ani, was the texting interactions between the two main characters. That shined on Rowan's character more. It did bring more colors to the mundane romance. i don’t read books for their plot but the it was SO terrible. maya’s brother is an f1 racer and because she is unemployed, she decides to tag along with him while trying to be a successful youtuber. along the way, she falls in love with her brother’s riVaL noah (he has blue eyes that challenge the caribbean ocean) and because noah (with the blue eyes) is santiago’s rival, maya wants to keep it a secret.
