Review: Burn (The Pretenders #3) by Tamara Lush



Blurb from Goodreads:
A second chance may be too hot to handle in this sizzling romance set in the world of Formula 1 racing.Fired in a spectacular fashion from a job she loved, Lily Onassis has resigned herself to spending her days comfort-baking in her condo. But when her father has a heart attack, her life takes an immediate U-turn. As he’s wheeled into surgery, he has one he wants Lily to take over running his Formula World Team, which includes managing their sexy star driver, Max Becker. Max and Lily have a history, and when she walked away from their affair years ago, she swore she’d never go back to racing or to Max. She wanted a quiet, drama-free life—while he was the rising star of Formula World. Back in close proximity, the two must fight their burning attraction and keep their relationship strictly professional. Lily’s got a job to do . . . and so does Max. No distractions. But as the season develops so do their feelings, and the pair must confront the fact that they’ve been given a second chance. Maybe this time they shouldn’t walk away.
My Review:

I really enjoyed this second-chance romance set in the world of racing akin to Formula One -- it was lovely, romantic and not too angsty.  Plus, I adored Max as well as Lily as characters. This is a fun, flirty, fast read and can be read as a standalone although I enjoyed this one so much that I am going to read the other books in this series and look for more books from this author!  Add this one to your TBR!!

Burn comes out next week on January 2, 2023, and you can purchase HERE!  This book is unique!

"Max, here's the thing. When a man's involved with a public sex scandal, he comes through unscathed. Or better than he was before. Women in sex scandals never fare that well. We become the sluts, the messy ones, the crazy ones. I know that firsthand." 
Memories of tweets during my scandal at the game company come wafting through my brain. I was called a bitch, a company wrecker, and a shrew. And those were the nice comments.

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton...
