Ride with Me

By: Simone Soltani

Narrated by: Benji Blythe, Tamsin Delali

A marriage of convenience threatens to go off track in this steamy Formula 1 romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Cross the Line.

Stella Baldwin thought her life couldn’t get worse. Being left at the altar was bad enough, and the drunken rant she posted to her social media followers in the aftermath was the cherry on top. But having to show up at her cousin’s bachelorette party in Las Vegas barely two weeks later feels like a cruel joke.

Thomas Maxwell-Brown is just looking for a good time. With his family’s expectations pressing down, his career as a Formula 1 driver threatened by fresh talent, and a new reputation making him the most hated man on the grid, he needs a break to clear his head. And what better way to decompress than with a stag party in Vegas?

Stella isn’t the woman Thomas expects to meet that night. And Thomas isn’t the man Stella expects to wake up next to in the morning—with a ring on her finger. Staying married might be the perfect solution to all their problems, even if it is a little wild. Sometimes, what happens in Vegas doesn’t need to stay there. . . .

Love Story Mixed with F1

The love story mixed with the F1 backdrop made this such a cute, lighthearted listen—perfect for when you need a palate cleanser. This was my first book by this author, and I’m definitely curious to go back and read the first in the series. I’m also looking forward to seeing what else they come up with.

The male narrator was fantastic—expressive, engaging, and easy to listen to. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more of his work. The female narrator, however, didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Her performance felt flat in places, and the lack of a convincing Southern or American accent pulled me out of the story at times.

cute story

The female narrator was so soft spoken and boring but I powered through and was glad I did. Because I loved Stella and Thomas's story.

This book is great. The culture differences was described wonderfully. I would recommend to everyone one.

Great HEA

Love the narrators, loved the plot, loved the characters. Took me by surprise that I listened to this for two days straight.
