Cross the Line is a cute F1 romance book that I would recommend to any reader who likes sports romance books. I enjoyed this book for the most part! I liked learning more about the F1 world and I appreciated the desi representation as an Indian woman. While this was light and easy read, I think this book would’ve been stronger with more focus on the development of Willow and Dev’s relationship. It did feel a bit like insta-love at times, so I wish we would’ve gotten more of their backstory.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Cross the Line by Simone Soltani!

More F1 romance, please! Cross the Line perfectly captures the life of a Formula One driver AND someone in marketing, which personally I loved. Second chance romance plus best friend's little sister and we have a winner. It was the perfect escape and I can't wait to see what else Soltani gives us in the series!

I thought this was a light, cute F1 romance! Definitely on the sweeter, instalove side of romance-- so if you like that then this is a book for you!!!

I liked how this book included disability representation and commentary on topics that are not often included in contemporary romances (racism, disability, cultural expectations). The trope "brother's best friend" tends to give me the ick, and that didn't happen with this book.

This book ran into a problem I have with a lot of dual POVs and that's the character development and relationship development feels primarily in the inner monologue of each character instead of being shown. Ultimately, I think this was a fun quick read but not super memorable (but sometimes you're in the mood for that!!!).

The slow burn in this book was done so well. While we didn't really see much character development, the story was fun, and an easy read. It was the first F1 book I've read, but it wasn't full of lingo that wouldn't make sense to someone who wasn't in the world, which was nice. I loved the diversity of the main characters as well, even if it was just a subplot. Cannot wait to read more in this world!

I love the cover of this, and I tried hard to get into it but it felt like a slow start and didn't connect to their characters and their chemistry felt off.

I love a cute sports romance and this is exactly what this book is 4 stars low stakes but so good and I entertaining and a great palate cleanser. When needing a cute read

I enjoyed this F1 brother's best friend romance! I did think it was a bit slow at times, but I overall had a good time reading it. I really liked Willow as the main character, and the Ehler's-Danlos syndrome representation was really great, as it's not something I've read a lot of. The relationship between Willow and Dev was pretty cute, but it felt a bit bland. Overall, this book was a cute romance and I'm interested in the second book! :)

I had been anticipating this book since it was first announced as a self-pub'd title. So I had really high hopes by the time I finally got my hands on a copy! And this was such a fun, swoony romance!

I'm not always a huge fan of the brother's best friend trope - because I find that the conflict always comes to down to this idea that the opinion of someone outside the relationship matters more than the MC's. So I really appreciated that while that is brought up, there is much more to the main conflict.

I loved how the heroine's disability was represented. I loved the travel/forced proximity. And I LOVED that there was no 3rd act breakup.

So excited for the next book(s) in this series!!

this book is perfect for f1 fans/romance lovers! I loved everything about it, and I can’t wait to read the next one! would definitely recommend!

This was my first F1 romance and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know anything about F1 and was still able to enjoy the story and root for the characters. Very interested to see what the author writes next.

If you enjoy stories with racing, forbidden love, childhood connections turning romantic, and a slow build, this one might be perfect for you.
Dev is such a sweetheart and a standout male lead. The story also includes amazing representation with POC main characters and chronic illness woven into the narrative. While Willow is a solid protagonist, Dev completely won me over.
overall really enjoyed this one a lot!

I wasn't sure about a romance with a racing background, but this was did intrigue me.

I liked Willow and Dev well enough. They're both good people with an intertwined history and it was interesting to read them figure things out. There are a good amount of characters here, but we only got snippets of them.

Plot wise, it's pretty fast paced and action filled. I enjoyed the racing scenes more than I thought I would. The scenes between Willow and Dev felt superficial and more telling than showing when it came to their chemistry.

Overall, it was a quick read and I was invested enough to finish, but I'm not sure I'll be reading the next one in the series.

**Huge thanks to the publisher for providing the arc free of charge**

Thank you to Berkley Romance for the advanced reader's copy!

Cross the Line by Simone Soltani is my first F1 romance read, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. As for the romance, I found Dev and Willow's relationship cute and tension-filled. The point of conflict was not my favorite, and while I understood its reasoning, it didn't add to the will-they-or-won't-they feel throughout. I found the beginning of the book to be meh, and it took some time to get into it, but I enjoyed their relationship. I wished to see more of their family's interactions, as it would have driven home the point that Dev was Willow's crush and the issue with her ex, which felt like they just briefly discussed but never really showed to convey the fallout that her relationship caused. Overall, this was a decent debut, and I look forward to reading the next book in this series!

This was a fresh and fun romance. I especially loved the chronic illness rep for Willow! Can't wait to read more in the series.

This was such an adorable read and my first F1 romance! Needless to say I’ve been missing out 🤭 And it was brother’s best friend too, one of my favorite tropes!

I knew absolutely nothing about F1 racing before reading this book, but it was clear from the author’s writing that she’d done her research and I ended up learning a lot about the sport!

Dev and Willow were 🤌🏼🤌🏼 I loved how supportive they were of each other and how well they communicated. Watching them fall for each other was SO sweet!

Thank you Berkley Romance and the author for my gifted ARC!

There are a lot of F1 romance novels coming out right now and this is the first one I’ve read. I am excited to continue exploring this sub genre.

I loved this books! This was a sweet quick read and I really enjoyed it!! I am so thankful for the opportunity to read it early!!

I love a man obsessed and this book gave me everything I love about that trope! I was also super excited to get into an F1 romance, as I have never read one and don't know much about the sport! This was a great read!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!! I adored having a south asian lead and there's nothing quite like seeing yourself written to be desirable and loveable on the page. As an F1 girlie this was just so fun to read. Dev is everything I could have ever wanted in a bf - and I want to read more about them and his adoration of her.
