The blurb:
If you
fall too fast... you might just crash
‘You don’t have
to worry about me. I have no intention of getting my heart broken again.’
Of course, I’m
lying. I feel like Will is chipping a little piece of it away, day by day. It’s
killing me...
Daisy Rogers is
in love – and that’s no good thing. It’s not that her very famous ex is neither
out of sight nor out of mind, but that the man of her dreams, William Trust,
has a girlfriend – a childhood sweetheart, no less. And as a Formula 1 racing
driver, he puts his life at risk every day he goes to work.
From Melbourne
to Monte Carlo, and São Paulo to Singapore, Daisy and her best friend Holly
travel the world as hospitality girls on the Grand Prix scene. But with more
secrets between them than Paris Hilton has shoes, life promises to be nothing
short of a whirlwind.
My Opinion:
Daisy takes you
into the story immediately. With her swearing in Italian, I was hooked in the
first chapter, because I do that all the time too;). So for me it wasn’t
difficult to understand Daisy and I fell in love with her. Luis seemed kind of
arrogant first, but that changed soon.
Having read
Baby be Mine already, I knew with whom she was going to end up, but pssst...
I’m not telling ;)
Luis’s teammate
Will Trust is gorgeous with his beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair. Daisy is immediately
taken by him, but he has a girlfriend, they’re childhood sweethearts. She tells
Holly, her best friend, about her feelings, but she still does have secrets,
and so does Holly.
Daisy spends
time with Will and Luis. Her first hatred against Luis, isn’t there anymore. One
of the two drivers especially asks for her to be their help during the races,
but who was it? Will or Luis?
One evening
Daisy tells Luis a little about her past and her connection to the Italian
language. That’s when it comes to me and I realise who she is. I just say
PAOLA...
Daisy loves
spending time with Will, watching films or just talking, but then there’s the
race in Monaco and who comes along? Laura, Will’s gorgeous girlfriend. Daisy’s
mood suddenly changes and then Luis confronts her with her past. Yes, she was
Johnny Jefferson’s PA and she slept with him. She only wants to forget about
this time.
During the
weekend of the next race Will wants to talk to her. Something she doesn’t
expect at all happens: He confesses his feelings to her, but there’s still
Laura... They stop themselves, but just one night later Daisy tells him about
the moment she fell for him (so cute) and a goodnight kiss leads to more. One
more they stop themselves, because Will wants to sort out things with Laura
first.
I was so happy,
they finally were true to each other and future is calling.
But that
wouldn’t be fun, would it? We are only half way through the book. Silverstone,
the home race, comes next and Laura has a big charity event there, that means,
Will has to stay with her, but at least he told her. He shows Daisy his house
in a quiet moment and they can’t stop their feelings anymore ...
Unfortunately
something UNEXPECTED happens the day of the race. Being a racing driver puts
your life at risk everyday.
Daisy is
shocked, she cannot work anymore and Holly tries to be there with her. At the
funeral (Luis takes her) she loses it completely, she’s even mean to Luis.
She returns to
New York, where her mum and dad live, but she doesn’t feel at home and decides
to return to England and work for the team again. She sees Luis again and he’s
a complete mess. Somehow she finds the right words to encourage him, but when
she sees the race all of the emotions come back.
Daisy takes a
break and visits her grandmother in Italy, Luis follows her, because he doesn’t
want her to leave again. The two of them spend more and more time together and
Daisy thinks she might have feelings for him. But, he’s a player, she doesn’t
want to go through the pain she had with Johnny again. Luis tries everything to
impress her, but things go on slowly. Then he takes her to all of the official
events, buys her a beautiful dress and then ...
For the last
race of the season they all go to Brazil, it’s Luis’ home race. He takes her to
see his family. He also confronts her with her feelings for Will. It’s only
during the race, when Luis has a crash, when she realises what she wants and
that she needs him.
This story is
amazing!!! I fell in love with Daisy instantly and couldn’t stop reading. I
took the book everywhere: the bus, the
toilet, the train, to table in the kitchen ...
Paige Toon’s
writing is addicting and emotional. When I thought everything was going to turn
out okay, a new and sad thing (in this story) happens and takes you even more
into the story.
Luis and Daisy
helped each other to get trough this terrible time and they just belong together.
My favourite
Paige Toon book, but still I LOVE THEM ALL SOOOO MUCH!!!
