The Book

Can their love find a racing line or will it crash into the barriers?

Formula One—the high-octane world of fast cars, globetrotting races, and wildly handsome drivers—is Jacqueline Martin’s favorite escape. As a waitress in Monaco, the best weekend of the year is when the Grand Prix takes over the very streets she walks to work and she’s immersed in a world blissfully removed from her everyday life.

But worlds come crashing together when Formula One driver Antonio Avari takes a seat at her table, looks her in the eye, and tells her she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. He’s earnest and engaging, igniting instant chemistry. But her dad has made her swear to never date an athlete and her mother’s sky-high anxiety surrounding cars and racing after a horrific car accident means a man like Antonio could never be an option.

A year later, Jacqueline gets deja-vu and fresh butterflies when Antonio returns to take a seat at her table, this time with a plan to win her over. He offers her a bet—one date if he qualifies well for the Monaco Grand Prix.

Intrigued, Jacqueline can’t say no. Her only condition? Complete secrecy.

But as one private date turns into more, with a growing realization of something unique and promising between them, can their love find a racing line or will it crash into the barriers?

Love's Racing Line is a closed-door Formula One romance with a dramatic love story ending in happily-ever-after and a swirl of suspense.

Book Review

If there is one thing that is clear after reading this one, it's Hope Snyder's love of F1 racing. This isn't one of those sports romance where the MMC plays a sport, but you barely hear anything about it at all. No, this story takes us right into the world of racing... and even as someone who has never watched a race in my life, I found myself absolutely intrigued. There were moments where I found myself at the edge of my seat, anxious to see how these fictional races were going to play out... and I loved it! Mixed in with the excitement of the race though was a really sweet and tender romance. Antonio and Jacqueline were impossible not to love right from that very first meet cute. I love a MMC who falls first and falls hard, and he most certainly did just that... but she has things in her past/family that make her hesitant to fall for him. They had a great chemistry between them (those kisses, my goodness!), but I loved their more vulnerable moments most. This story kept me intrigued from start to finish... and taught me a thing or two about racing! Whether you're already a racing fan OR just love a good romance that will make you swoon, this one is a must read. 

Love's Racing Line is a closed-door romance with kisses only and minor language.
