This book was such a delight because the descriptions of everything were so real and none to overwhelming. The story was full of emotions, drama, and angst that the characters go through makes the readers feel like they are genuinely part of the story. At times the character would have you wanting to shake them silly but that was what made them feel relatable. Overall a very sweet story that I enjoyed, had me wanting to head to Monaco right that instant, and couldn’t put down. ( )

I enjoyed reading this story that gave the second chance to love. It was well written in a way that the description and characters were realistic. It was a sweet story full of emotions and a secret. A teacher coming back to Monaco and an F1 Driver are the main characters.

This was a really great abiet angsty story of getting second chance at love. I'm not going to lie and say there weren't times I wanted to smack either Charlotte or Nicholas' heads together. And at times the pace of the story was a little too quick. But overall I enjoyed it alot. The setting was wonderful and overall I liked both of the main characters. I was engaged in their story to the end! ( )

***Received a free ebook copy through LibraryThing.com, though after the publication date.

I did not enjoy this book. I only finished it because I received a free copy and felt I should read to the end to write a review.

First the things I liked, the first chapter is well written as on of the main characters returns to Monaco after being away for a decade. I also enjoyed the centering of the plot around F1.

However, the plot is rushed with little to no character development. The two main characters instantly declare (to themselves) that they are in love with each other within minutes of seeing each other for the first time in ten years as if neither of them have changed in that time at all.

Also, the information dump in the first couple of chapters is dull. It reads like a nonfiction book instead of showing us their past through conversations or tidbits throughout the story, we get a dump of everything at the beginning.

There is a villian, ex-girlfriend character who is portrayed as completely evil in her first POV chapter. She gets a couple more chapters from her perspective but is toned down and magically redeemed and forgiven by the end. It seems like the author was trying to make her/the story into a soap opera and then completely abandoned that plot thread. ( )
