Lauren’s ability to make you feel like you are in any city in the world is one of the standout things for this series for me. Lauren Asher has such a way of writing, it pulls you in and you feel like you are travelling the F1 circuit around the globe with them, I loved the description of all the cities and the behind the scenes of race day. You don’t have to have read Throttled before Collided, but I’d recommend it to get the full reading experience. It was great to see Noah and Maya again, and see how their relationship played out from others’ points of view, as it occurs along the same timeline. As they tick off each item on her list, they become closer and closer until they have no choice but to give in. Her list was genius and such a fun aspect of the plot, it solidified their friendship before it turned to more. But throughout the F1 season and her time with Liam, she learnt to stand up for herself and follow her own wants, to truly be happy. She was kind and caring to everyone, but was so afraid to disappoint her father, that she put her own dreams and feelings second to his. I also loved his secret nerd side, how he’d quote films and literature, it made him so much more attractive. Watching him come to terms with his feelings for Sophie was amazing, although I do wish he had made a decision sooner and not waited. He keeps everyone at arm’s length so he can prevent his heart from being broken again, after a horrible event in his past. Liam puts up this façade to the world of a playboy womanising jerk, but underneath that’s not the case. From Throttled, I knew I would fall in love with Sophie and Liam, and I was so interested to see why they were the way they were. I absolutely love all the characters my favourite kind of series is when the books are all interconnected, and you see the characters throughout all the books. What happens when feelings get caught? And when other people try to intervene in their relationship, will Sophie and Liam be finally ready to admit what they’ve felt all along? Liam, as resident playboy chooses this as a reason to push for their relationship to go from friends to more, as long as there are no feelings involved. The list includes a wide variety of things, some PG, some not so PG. They spend time together, joking and getting to know one another, especially when Liam finds Sophie’s f*ck-it list of things she wants to achieve by the end of the F1 season. Their attraction is there from the start but due to multiple circumstances, including Liam’s contract with his team coming to an end, they decide to be just friends. She runs into Liam, world champion F1 driver for rival team McCoy, who she briefly met years ago. Sophie, daughter of F1 team Bandini’s principal arrives on the F1 circuit for the summer. Throughout Throttled, Liam and Sophie’s friendship is hinted and you can see that attraction between them, so I was already intrigued by their story. As today is Collided’s release day, my main review will be of Collided, but scroll down to the bottom to see my review for Throttled, because I have to show Maya and Noah some love too! Collided (Dirty Air #2) – Lauren Asher ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Ĭollided is the perfect friends-to-more romance, which is even more unique thanks to the setting and characters which pull you in from the start. All the books are interconnected standalones which can be read in any order but I have read both Throttled (Dirty Air Series #1) and Collided (Dirty Air Series #2) one after the other, and I think that gave me the best reading experience. I just severely disliked her reading style.The Dirty Air series is so amazing, it’s such a refreshing take on a sports romance, with each book revolving around a different F1 racing driver. And I just want to say, it wasn't her accent that was the problem. Her cadence was unusual and I felt like she chopped up sentences in weird ways and emphasized words that I wouldn't have. She was the reason I had a hard time getting into the story. Ramona Master, on the other hand, was a huge disappointment as Maya. I would love to read other stories that he's narrated just because of how talented he is at portraying the emotion of the character. He did amazing and I loved every chapter of his. The voice actors: Aiden Snow voices Noah and gets 10/5 stars. The end wrapped up beautifully with satisfactory resolutions to all of the conflicts. It took a bit for me to get into the story line but by the time the FMC and MMC got together I was swooning. I even got into the racing parts, which is something I thought I had no interest in. The story was engaging, full of dynamic characters, and a ton of anticipation and spice. The Story: This story was a little longer than I typically like but I think it worked with listening versus reading.
