Spencer Riggs is fighting for his place, his name, in the elite sport of Formula 1.His ultimate dream. A future determined by his past. His legacy.He’s passionate, reckless, and unswerving in his pursuit of all things.Including me.
Camilla Moretti was determined to never return to one thing: Formula 1.Shadows had kept her away, but family devotion brought her back. After all, Moretti Motorsports is her legacy.She’s dynamic, intelligent, and spectacular, and someone I can’t seem to stay away from. Nor want to.I have an objective. A lifelong goal.But I might throw it all away for her.
Off the Grid is a steamy, standalone romance set in the Full Throttle world. Tropes include a British hero, close proximity, secret rendezvous, Formula 1, enemies to lovers, and workplace romance.
Off the Grid bring Bromberg back to racing and am I thrilled! Camilla Moretti comes from a famous racing family, but she works for the other family business, olive oil. But, her father’s health is failing, and he wants her to take over Moretti Racing. Riggs has his shot at the big races now, and he is ready to show everyone. They don’t exactly get along right away, but Riggs is determined to win Camilla over. I loved that part for sure. A hero who knows he has a mountain to climb to win the heroine and climbs it!
These two have that super hot chemistry that comes from a “hate-to-love” vibe. Both of them are dealing with baggage from prior tragedy. They are each struggling with finding their place and growing into their new roles (Riggs in racing and Camilla running Moretti). However, they can’t escape each other, so despite having their own struggles, their chemistry grows. One thing I always love about Bromberg’s story is the banter and Off the Grid is no exception! While I haven’t been a fan of Formula 1 racing, I really enjoyed this and Bromberg does a great job of creating the tension and stress of racing.
