Brother best friend & his new teammate and it a Formula 1 romance, I mean what’s not to love. This series of Formula 1 romance is one of the best I’ve read, and I’ve read quite a few so I feel significantly qualified to tell you that. The dynamic between these two is amazing. Charlotte is such a bubbly character and that really comes through in the writing. The way in which Lucas interacts and play off Charlotte wit, just make them so much more loveable as a couple. But she is a terror and the sibling dynamic with Theo is so funny, but poor Blake getting caught up in the middle of them all (he can go complain to Ella, she will make is all better for him). Lucas is such a softy, so attentive and caring. Educating himself for Charlotte, after learning about her diabetes, in order to understand the signs and symptoms, in order to protect and support her. So cute.

An absolute must-read for romance and Formula 1 fans! "All is fair in love and racing," but in Drive Me Home, Carly Robyn proves that when it comes to love, the real battle is fought off the track. This book is a high-octane blend of forbidden romance, heart-pounding tension, and the electrifying world of Formula 1.
Charlotte Walker is at a crossroads, unsure of her next step after graduation—until the opportunity to travel with her brother’s F1 team presents itself. What she doesn’t expect? Spending every waking moment around Lucas Adler, AlphaVite Racing’s golden boy and her long-time crush. With his sharp wit, inked skin, and effortless talent, Lucas is the ultimate temptation. But there’s one problem—he’s completely, utterly off-limits.
Lucas knows better than to get involved with his teammate’s younger sister. He’s learned the hard way that love and racing don’t always mix. But as the season unfolds, Charlotte’s infectious energy and undeniable chemistry test every bit of his self-control. Their stolen glances, lingering touches, and unspoken desires simmer beneath the surface, pushing them toward a line they both swore they wouldn’t cross.
What sets Drive Me Home apart isn’t just the slow-burn tension or the best friend’s sister trope done to perfection—it’s the raw emotion woven into every interaction. The forced proximity and secret romance heighten the stakes, while the T1D representation adds depth to Charlotte’s character in a way that feels both authentic and powerful. Carly Robyn doesn’t just write romance; she crafts characters with real struggles, real fears, and real dreams, making every stolen moment between Charlotte and Lucas feel earned.
If you love forbidden attraction, agonizingly slow-burn romance, and characters who fight for their happy ending, this book is for you. Buckle up—this isn’t just a race for the championship, it’s a race for love. And trust me, you’ll want to be there for every twist and turn.

Thank you Carly Robyn and Netgalley for ARC!

This is my first time reading a Carly Robyn novel, and so even though this is technically the third book in a series, I still had no problem diving in. It was fairly easy to make out the stars of the previous novels and understand who was who. The premise was simple really; we have point-of-views from both our main female character, Charlotte, and the male character, Lucas. Lucas is in Formula 1 and is friends with Charlotte's brother who is also in Formula 1. Charlotte trails after them, going from country to country.

Sometimes it's a little silly. Obviously being Formula 1, we have characters of different nationalities. This ties the author Carly Robyn into a tricky spot, because she has to deal with these differences. Lucas is American, and there's this little segment of him explaining the terms "schmooze" and "hit the hay" to his Australian fellow F1 driver Theo and Blake. We also have Target explained to us, like a magical wonderland. I'm being nitpicky, but it was a little annoying. I know Carly Robyn meant no harm by it, but supermarkets do exist in other countries. Overall, despite all this, I do think Carly Robyn does an okay job mitigating the cultural differences. It doesn't really play much into the story, other than these little points.

The book was like a cheesecake. At times, tooth-achingly sweet, and at all times, very cheesy. I'm a very character driven person, and whilst I liked the idea of Charlotte being into fashion, I didn't really buy into it. None of the male characters, including Lucas, had really any differentiation between them. Lucas felt a little one-note, and so their chemistry also lacked for me. There was no pizzazz.

It was very simple dimple, until boom! We get served up cheesecake with some spice. The sex scenes created quite a contrast. They were so obscene, and not that I have a problem with steamy scenes, it just really seemed at odds with the rest of the vanilla-lead book.
