Bestselling author Kristy Marie delivers a high-octane fake relationship romance where a fiery engineer down on her luck agrees to be the pretend girlfriend of her infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) former best friend, a reckless driver who might be her ticket back to the top… if their explosive chemistry doesn’t blow them apart first.

Cole:

I used to rule the racetrack. Now, I’m just a hothead on a losing streak. Desperate for a win, I’ve alienated everyone, burned every bridge, and run out of options. Except one. Lola Quinn: the brilliant, fiery engineer who could turn my luck around. Too bad she hates my guts. Five years ago, I walked away from her, leaving a trail of heartbreak and regret. Now, I’m back with an offer she can’t refuse… if I can convince her to forget the past and take one last chance on me.

Lola:

My career is toast, thanks to my spectacularly bad judgment. Now I’m jobless, desperate, and considering a proposition from the one man who could make things worse: Cole Lawson, Formula One’s hottest driver… and my former best friend. His proposition: fake girlfriend, fake relationship, and an actual job. It’s a terrible idea. A recipe for a high-octane cocktail of chaos and charm. And unfortunately, I am still a sucker for both.

You, Me, and Lucky Number 13 is a fake dating, romantic comedy and a complete standalone.

F1 romances seem to be a new favourite of mine. Cole is the grump on the outside, on the inside he’s been crushing on Lola. Lola is now out of a job needing to find another one and the last person she thought would give her a job did. Cole hires her to be his fake girlfriend and vow to not cross any lines between them. Lola and Cole do have a history so, may be a little problematic with having some misunderstandings from the past. The banter between these two and then knowing how to tease the other. The connection and chemistry are kindle melting. Kristy is always releasing amazing, wonderful, emotional and thought-provoking reads, I can’t wait to see what’s next.
