Reviewed by Frex
Great debut novel for Lexi Richards, which thank you and LiteraryInspiredfor the opportunity to be an early reader for this great book!
There's verbal fights, crashes, and quite a few surprises.
Avery is trying her best to make her own place in the Silver organization, even if she is the owner's daughter. She is frustrated that every time she is introduced either her image or the relation is mentioned. Teddy is the team's F1 driver who is extremely private with his personal life.
As Avery is planning to set up the gala fundraiser, she realizes she will need to match her parents' previous amount from the year before she can use any of the money to help the underprivileged sports center in their local. There is also the matter of bringing a date; one which her mother is starting to suggest a new up and coming director. Avery, having no date set up, states she already has a date but won't say who they are.
In a conversation with Teddy, she drops this information, and he suggests they fake date. And as most fake dating tropes go, you know what happens! But it doesn't happen without tons of drama. Family secrets for Teddy are revealed, and then it is broadcasted; Avery realizes she is the link to explain the leaked information to a podcaster.
It really is a well written book, with some super cute moments and a few none super descript spicy scenes.
