Blurb:

Things heat up on and off the track when the first female driver in Formula International history goes head-to-head with one of the sport’s biggest names. Formula Dreams is a high-speed enemies-to-lovers standalone romance.


Francesca Accardi is rewriting the record books at Titans Racing. With the first female team owner in her corner and the weight of history on her shoulders, she knows the only way to silence doubters is to win. Every lap. Every race.


Ronan Barnes dominates on Sunday and dares the world to judge him on Monday. Arrogant, electric, relentless, he has no time for niceties—or for the rookie who refuses to yield. Forced together for press tours and charity laps, their sniping becomes a spark neither can shake. But rival teams don’t tolerate distractions, sponsors spook fast, and one misstep could cost Francesca her seat and Ronan his shot at the championship.


When Ronan’s private life—and his mother’s addiction—become an issue he can no longer avoid, Francesca is there as his emotional support. Compassion cracks his armor. He defends her in the paddock; she stands beside him when it matters. Enemies become allies. Allies become something no rule book can define.


With a title on the line, they must choose: her hard-won seat, his crown, or a future together—if they dare cross the line.

4 Star Review by Trinette Dungee


Brienne Norcross is truly bringing The Titans franchise to the forefront. Not only did she rebuild an entire hockey team and make them Stanley Cup Champions, but she bought a Formula International racing team. The Titans’ racing team is slowly but surely making a name for themselves and now they have the first female FI driver, Francesca Accardi.

Francesca knows she has her work cut out for her. She has to prove she not just a media publicity stunt or a DEI addition to the sport. She has to prove she earned this spot, and she’s made it this far due to her hard work and talent. Her biggest challenge doesn’t seem to be proving herself on the track but getting to know her colleague Ronan Barnes who has made a name for himself as a playboy, and who has been the cause of tension between him and other drivers. 

While he’s a known party boy and no stranger to the tabloids and media, friendships aren’t what Ronan Barnes is known for especially considering he ruined the one real friendship he had with Lex Hamilton. His private life and family dynamic has taught him to erect walls and keep them firmly in place. When the powers that be decided to use a few drivers in a media promo Ronan is paired with Francesca. Forced proximity has put him on her radar and determined to get to the root cause of his standoff-ish ways. 

Throughout this series I have not been a fan of Ronan Barnes.  I was curious about him, but not a fan….he hasn’t been the most savory character. Starting Formula Dreams, I still wasn’t a fan and to be honest, it took me almost halfway through the book to like him even a little bit. Getting his backstory and his family dynamic, I understood him more and as his walls were starting to be chipped away, so did my disdain for him. Dual POVs typically have both characters struggling with something and developing. For me, this storyline was more about Ronan that Francesca. That’s not to say she didn’t have her moments, but it was Ronan who took us along for the ride. That also doesn’t mean she important, she definitely was she was that support Ronan needed. She was the person who helped to bring his story to life. Francesca was kind of like a bull in a China shop when it came to getting to know Ronan, LOL. She’s pushy, nosey, and persistent. Once she decided she wanted to get to know him, and understand him, she did not give up. She was all up in his business and poor Ronan didn’t stand a chance!! 

This was a quick enjoyable read, low on angst and an average amount of spice. I don’t know if I would classify this as enemies to lovers because they weren’t really enemies, more like misunderstood colleagues. If you are like me and know nothing about F1 driving, going into this series there’s some very technical verbiage around racing that can lose you, so I’ll give you some advice that came straight from the horse’s mouth. Watch Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix. There are seven seasons of this docuseries, and I watched them all in two weeks. It’s very addictive and very informative.

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

The last thing Dorian Vanderbilt expected was to find me painting in my crop top when he returned to the mansion he hadn’t inhabited in years.
He was understandably surprised I’d turned his living room into an art space.
Life is certainly full of surprises, though, but not always in a good way.
I learned that lesson when my aunt and the billionaire she married died unexpectedly while traveling.
I’d been living with them, and just like that, my life was turned on its axis.
Unsure of what was next, I stayed alone at the barren estate figuring out my next move.
That was when Dorian—the late billionaire’s only son—showed up.
I’d never met Dorian Vanderbilt. He’d been living on the other side of the country.
But now, he was home, left to pick up the pieces of his father’s legacy.
Not only was Dorian devastatingly handsome and mysterious, but he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt fortune.
He didn’t seem to like me—at first. We were total opposites. But I was grateful that at least he didn’t kick me out.
We stayed out of each other’s way for the most part, save for some late-night kitchen run-ins or unexpected bonding sessions in the home theater.
Over time, though, we grew closer. Turned out, our chemistry was pretty combustible.
I was falling in love with him.
Until everything I thought I knew turned upside down yet again.
And fate left me pining for the one man I’d ever loved.






 

Lisa Kane's 4 Star Review

Primrose has been staying at the mansion owned by her aunt and her aunt't billionaire husband. They have both tragically died due to carbon monoxide poisoning while in their hotel on vacation. The only surviving relative, Dorian Vanderbilt is due to arrive at any moment. Primrose has been lucky enough to be able to afford her tuition for art school and to live at the mansion for free. Waiting tables doesn't pay enough to afford rent and school. 

Dorian surprises her by arriving in the middle of the night. He's as surprised to see her as she is to see him. They get off to a rocky start. But there is a chemistry there, even if neither one wants to admit it. Dorian agrees to let Primrose stay if she continues to keep an eye on the household. He has his hands full with taking over the family business after his father's death. 

Slowly they both start to find themselves falling for each other. Both have huge walls in place due to prior disappointments but maybe they can find a happily ever after? When it all seems to be going well, bam....

While I really loved the first half of the book, I have to admit, I was disappointed by the second half. It seemed a little far fetched and dragged a bit. I love suspense and angst but something was missing for me. I could feel the hurt they both caused each other and I love the slow burn I got from that, but I think the story could have wrapped up a bit sooner.  

Having stated all that, I would still recommend this story as Penelope Ward is a talented author who knows how to make one's stomach plummet with her roller coaster stories.

Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were

just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love

bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of

Tipperary County.

Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for

something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the

boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of

steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and

brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.

Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had

Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life

a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at

Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But

Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the

beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.

Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama

and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to

run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you

can’t get to the present without The Past.

The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the

Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

4 Star review by Trinette Dungee!


As far as his father is concerned, Tommy Blackburn has been having far too much fun and it’s about time he curbed his playboy ways and started to take his life seriously. After all, he will someday run the Blackburn ranch. Tommy is sent off to Ireland to work with a former college friend his father’s and he is less than thrilled about not only having his summer hijacked but having to spend it in a foreign country. 


But Tommy finds he likes working with Rory Conlan, and he’s learning a lot. He not only likes Rory, but he respects him. While the work is hard, he’s enjoying his time at Glenhaven, and when he meets Rory’s niece Fiona, he begins to think seriously about his future. He’s instantly smitten with her, but he learns that Fiona’s father has plans for her and they do not involve the young American. 


Fiona Conlan has lived a lavish life on her family’s horse farm. She’s on the verge of turning eighteen and anxious to live life.  Her father is a domineering man who doesn’t think women should do more than marry and have babies. It’s with her Uncle Rory that she gets the attention and encouragement she craves and when she meets the American working with her uncle, she knows exactly who she wants to experience living life with. Tommy Blackburn is handsome and captivating in ways she never thought possible. 


Her father had other plans. Her father wants to merge their horse farm with another prominent family’s horse farm, so he’s arranged for Fiona to marry their son. Fiona doesn’t take this request quietly and defies her father at every turn until he hits her with the ultimate threat to make her give in to his demands. 


Sadly, it’s a tragic event that give Fiona the bargaining chip she needs to free herself from her father and find her way to Tommy. 


The Past takes you back to 1978 when Tommy and Fiona first meet and gives you the backstory to the parents of the Blackburn Children. 


When we last encountered the Blackburn family, four of the Blackburn children were in solid relationship and tragedy struck as the Blackburn’s lost Wade. 


As I’ve stated before, when I’m reading a book that’s a part of a series (other than the first book), I hardly ever read the blurbs of the upcoming books. Such was the case with this book. So, when I realized it was about Tommy and Fiona, I was a little bit disappointed. I’m not a fan of books that take place in the past in the middle of a series. I find it hard to get into a book where I basically know where it goes (which is probably why I don’t re-read a lot of books). I’d basically resigned that I was going to read this book, but I probably wouldn’t like it very much and it definitely wouldn’t make it to my list of favorite Sawyer books. 


Well color me COMPLETELY WRONG! Not only will this make it to my list of favorite Sawyer books, but Tommy and Fiona are going down as one of my favorite couples. 


Tommy and Fiona’s story moves fast but it works. The instant chemistry of these two characters jumps off the pages at you. This story gives all the feels, and makes you smile constantly. It’s not just Tommy and Fiona; it’s Rory and his partner Katherine’s relationship too that makes you giddy.  These characters were very likable. Even the douche-bag characters fit the story just the right way. I worried that because this was a quick read that things would seem rushed in the book, but the pace was perfect. This was Insta-Love at its best.


While this could be considered a prequel, I think reading it in order fits this series best

This book took me totally by surprise and was one of the sweetest and most romantic books I’ve read in a long time.
