Ride With Me hooked me straight away with the prologue and it only got better and better! The tension and the chat between Stella and Thomas was steaming hot and THEN they got married, and I was all in. I raced through this in one go as soon as my ARC request was accepted. I love a marriage of convenience situation and this one was so satisfying! Despite an initial bit of action between them pre-wedding, it's a super slow burn once they're actually married, which I loved.

I hadn't read Cross The Line before reading Ride With Me. Nothing was confusing at all, and it worked perfectly as a standalone or as an entry point to the series. You also don't need to know anything about F1 to love this book - I certainly don't. But it was just so good that I'm definitely going to go back and binge book one!

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley, but this is my voluntary and honest review.

STOP IT 🛑 Ride with me is amazing! I couldn't put this book down! This book was just as good as cross the line and I really enjoyed seeing some of these characters again! This was a fun heartwarming read.

Imagine waking up in Vegas marrier to an F1 driver!

Accidentally marriage and forced proximity has me sooo hooked! The slow burn had me wanting to keep reading.

I cannot wait to read more from Simone Soltani!

Simone Soltani has done it again, Ride with Me ATE and left no crumbs. This book was a wonderful experience and in my opinion, a very worthy second book in the Lights Out series.

Thomas was down bad for Stella the moment he met her, and although we don't see as much F1 action in this book I think it was balanced perfectly with the beautiful slow burn romance we get to experience.

As a sucker for the accidental marriage trope, this one certainly delivers. Stella and Thomas have undeniable chemistry from the first moment they meet and throughout the book I loved their little interactions. The way Thomas would call her Darling or 'my wife', and the way he showed his love in actions instead of words was really lovely.

Overall, a sweet and exciting romance and one that many readers will devour.

Simone Soltani is an auto-buy author for me, I can't wait for this one to publish so I can add a trophy copy to my shelves!

I was so excited for this one, I loved Cross the Line and forced proximity/fake marriage is one of my all-time favourite tropes so I knew I was in for a treat!

It was so nice to see familiar faces from book one, and I was obsessed with Thomas from the very start. The way this man YEARNED for Stella was unrivalled and I loved them together.

The focus has shifted slightly away from F1 and more towards the romance aspect but I didn't mind this as when the slow-burn finally burnt it, WHEW the spice was spicing.

I can't wait to see what's still to come for this series.

I absolutely loved cross the line and was so excited for the sequel. It did not disappoint; I read it in two sittings and did not want to put it down! I love the fake marriage trope and it was done so well. I adore Stella and loved seeing glimpses of Willow and Dev throughout the book. I’m so excited for what Simone releases next, she’s definitely an auto buy author!

Thank you so much to the publisher for the ARC <3

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the relationship between Stella and Thomas and how it followed some of my favourite tropes. Marriage of Convenience, Friends to Lovers, it was so cute! The flirting was so fun and I just wanted to keep on reading about these characters taking on the world together and dealing with their issues as a team. It was so lovely.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
