A grumpy-sunshine Formula One romance with spice! When a star driver hires a new dog nanny, he gets an all-American girl who loves dogs, cars… and making him beg.
So what if she’s crushing on a race car driver? That doesn’t mean it’s love at first lap.
But maybe it’s love at first lap dog?
Yesterday, Piper Murphy was just another dog sitter helping her sister with wedding prep while pretending she’s over her own broken engagement.
Today, she’s the fill-in dog sitter for Formula One driver Emilio Baquero. Brooding, gorgeous driver + naughty, cute Lab? Woof, down boy.
When Emilio offers her a five-week gig as his live-in dog nanny in London, Piper can’t help but say yes. It’s out of her comfort zone, sure, but it’s also a ticket to travel, racing, and caring for a dog she already adores. All while escaping the wedding planning that’s put her failures front and center.
Only being under the same roof means there’s no escaping Emilio’s intensity, or grumpiness. Piper tries to be a sunny presence, but their clashes just fuel the slow-burn tension to something near combustible.
Because falling for your boss is risky when you have a broken heart. Falling for your famous boss and his adorable dog? That’s a crash waiting to happen.
Booth knocked this one out of the park if you’re a fan of a dog with a mind of his own! The second book in her Fast Track series is fast paced, humorous and filled with heart. Racing fans will find the sport part of the book intriguing as Emilio struggles with his first year with this Formula One team. You’ll be hard pressed not to laugh out loud at some of the shenanigans Gus the dog gets up to in order to get the life that he wants from his owner. Piper is sweet and easy to like and I enjoyed her getting a touch of the life she deserved rather than living for scraps and pining after her loser ex. Overall both of the characters had an interesting back story and were likable enough to have you rooting for their happily ever after. I loved their story!
