Scoring Points (Lights Out) by HL Day: New Release Review

June 19, 2023 by Denise

Can two warring team principals in the cutthroat world of F1 ever admit that there’s more to life than scoring points?

On the surface, Kurt Whitford has everything. A successful business. Good looks. Money. A famous popstar girlfriend hanging off his arm. And as the icing on the cake, he’s just been announced as Nebula’s new team principal. The downside? The opposition. It’s seventeen years since Kurt has seen the infuriating and irresistible Gio Rossi, but the man hasn’t changed a bit.

Whatever Kurt Whitford has, Giovanni Rossi can surpass. Well, except for the girlfriend. Despite needing to keep his sexuality on the down low, he’s not that far in the closet. And if Kurt thinks that Gio’s ready to let bygones be bygones, he couldn’t be more wrong. Gio hasn’t forgiven. Or forgotten.

As a long-rooted rivalry kicks off once more and sparks fly both on and off the track, can Gio and Kurt go head-to-head without the media getting wind of their true feelings? Or is their undeniable sexual chemistry about to prove their downfall?

This MM romance from H.L Day features enemies to lovers, opposing teams, secrets that go way back, and suppressed feelings. Set in the high-octane world of Formula 1, it features fast cars, spectacular crashes, heated rivalries, and of course, a HEA.

Amazon – Kindle Unlimited – All Regions

The next installment in the Lights Out shared world. This time we get the story of two team principals. Which I liked because…I don’t know a lot about F1 so it was cool to read about what they do. Also, they can’t all be F1 drivers, right?

When I started reading this one, I immediately didn’t like Giovanni. Even at 15 he was cocky. The more I got to know him, the more I realized that he had some Big Feelings for Kurt going back to when they were 15.

Now they are the 2 youngest team principals with a rivalry that plays out in the media even though they haven’t seen each other in person in YEARS. Kurt wants to forget they ever had an issue and move on, but Gio. Nope. Those Big Feelings are in the way. But it takes us a bit to see it.

Kurt and Gio have the hate sex thing DOWN PAT. Like, they wrote the book on it. It’s pretty hot too. But that’s when we start to see that Gio wants more.

It isn’t until someone points out to Kurt some big signs that he realizes what a jerk he is. Kurt has some emotional damage from his dad that doesn’t help things. Oh. And a fake girlfriend. So that’s fun.

Watching them both open themselves up to each other was wonderful. They stumbled a bit, actually talked to each other and realized that they do belong together.

I liked the different view of the sport in this book. It was fun to get more of a behind the scenes thing.

Meltdown by Jillian WrayMy review:Fairly certain that this is my first book by this author and I really liked it.We've seen the best friends where one is straight and the other not straight. One pining for the other. But I feel like this was a little different. Partly because the not straight friend is an identical twin and there's some complicated history there between the twin and the friend and...ya not going to spoil it. But it comes out early in the book. I absolutely adored Liam. Kind of that gym bro guy who doesn't really know what to do with his life but has the heart of a golden retriever. He is just so happy to be going on a ski trip with his bff Damon. And that Damon took care of everything.Damon is gay but in the closet for a really interesting reason. You can't help but feel for him. So when the truth comes out about his feelings for Liam, it is an extra shock because Liam didn't even know his BEST FRIEND was gay. But then he is pretty much all in. Because he loves and trusts Damon that much.Also I really want to mess up Damon's hair and steal all of his suits.This was an easy read with nothing really repetitive or dragging the story down. 4.25 Pieces of Eye CandyThe Author Agency ...

I’ve had feelings for Hunter for years, but I’ve never allowed myself to admit them. Not even to myself. Then there’s Aiden, whose stunning confidence is making both of us fall for him. He’s sexy, funny, assertive, and utterly irresistible, and Hunter and I are drawn to him in a way we’ve never been to anyone. The pair of us have never considered dating each other, let alone a relationship with someone else, and I’m terrified that telling Hunter how I feel will only lead to me getting hurt. I have to take the risk though, because I can’t bear to lose Hunter or Aiden. If not, I’ll always wonder what if… Content Warning: Hunter has a history of disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and excessive exercise.✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up to review this awesome release: bit.ly/thefullbacksignup#charlienovak #mmmromance #kindleunlimited The Author Agency ...
