In the second book of New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett’s Race Fever series, she turns up the heat when a familiar name looks to shake up the world of formula racing. Buckle up for this heart stopping, second chance ride in Formula Chance.
Nash Sinclair abandoned the world of formula racing after a deadly crash left him injured and on a long road to recovery, both physically and mentally. Even prior to the crash Nash was healing in another way, putting together the pieces of a broken heart. They say time heals all wounds and when Brienne Norcross, owner of the newly acquired Titans Racing team approaches him about a job, he decides it might just be time to reclaim the life he once loved.
Bexley Toliver just joined the Titans’ team as their chief race strategy engineer. As a woman working in a male-centric sport, Bex is no stranger to a man’s eyes on her. Whether it’s in silent awe, not-so-silent disgust, or somewhere in between, Bexley has earned her way. But there is one set of eyes that Bex hasn’t seen in years and when Nash Sinclair walks into the conference room for a team meeting, old memories are hard to ignore. As the heat between them becomes all-consuming, they are unable to resist the temptation to fall once again.
Bex and Nash’s history is…complicated. Young love that turned into the promise of forever crashed and burned long before the race that ended Nash’s career. Years apart dulled the pain of their failed union but some things aren’t meant to be forgotten, no matter how hard one tries. When the same issues that broke them apart re-emerge and spin them full-speed toward a barricade, Bex and Nash need to make a decision—hit the brakes and walk away or race forward to their happily ever after.

Review:
I really enjoyed Bexley and Nash’s second chance romance. It can be tough to make second chances seem plausible at times, but this one worked for the most part. I was also really excited to see Brienne Norcross take the helm of her new race team! She did not disappoint 🙂
The stakes of this book were pretty high, not only for Bex and Nash’s relationship but also in their personal lives. Bex’s the first woman to hold her position in Formula International, and some members of her team are less than pleased to be working with her. (Spoiler: it’s because of misogyny) As a rising star, Nash suffered a cataclysmic racing accident (coincidentally just after he and Bex broke up the first time, just to add to the drama) and he needs to prove to himself and to the world that he’s ready to hit the track again.
I’m not a racing fan and these books aren’t going to make me into one–there’s a little too much technical racing detail going on here at times, TBH–but it’s fun to read nonetheless. I do enjoy reading sports romances, whether or not I have any interest in the sports IRL (baseball romances, I’m looking at you!) 😉
The MCs from book 1 ( Formula Fling ) play smallish roles here; if you haven’t read their book yet you’ll do just fine because this one would absolutely work as a standalone. I listened to the audio version of this book–the narrators did a great performance overall and really added to my enjoyment of the story.
Counting the days until Formula Freedom !
