Out of Control

Full Throttle Series, Book 4

By: K. Bromberg

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Stefanie Kay

Every story needs a villain. The arrogance. The conceit. The lone wolf. Oliver Rossi is that person on the track. And leave it to me . . . I’ve gone and fallen for him.

Rossi is his own worst enemy. He doesn’t care what people think or what’s expected of him. And he’s reached the pinnacle of his sport because of his bad boy ways.

He’s unpredictable and reckless on the track. He’s even worse off of it. After years of circling around each other, all it took was one night, one uncharacteristic act of chivalry, to know I wanted more with the man everyone hates. Forget the warnings from my brother about his new teammate and the fallout from my family—he’s worth the risk. With his job on the line and eyes always on us, secret trysts are all we allow ourselves. It’s all fun and games until lust turns to love and for now begins to feel like not enough. I want it all. I want forever. And I want it with Oliver Rossi.

But is Rossi willing to show the world he’s ready to move past his villain era so we can have our own happily ever after or will this whole thing spin out of control?

blink and it's over, I definitely enjoyed it

I've only read the 3rd book in this series, but I didn't feel lost from anything I missed in books 1 and 2. Even from book 3, I don't think it would be a required read to fully enjoy this one. Although I do think it would be helpful to fully appreciate, because Rossi played a decent roll in #3. I actually liked this book better, I loved how Rossi shared his story, and I appreciated how he helped Sofie without taking over and dominating the relationship. I enjoyed the narrators, I think they both did a good job, and I liked that their speed and volume seemed matched, so the chapters had good flow, the whole story went smooth actually. I couldn't believe when I got to the end, that it was over already.

A Beautiful & Swoon Worthy Romance! Amazing Story & Listen🎧

I am loving K. Bromberg’s “Full Throttle” series and the world she created with Formula 1 racing and its smoking hot racers. Each book features a different F1 driver and their love interest and this fourth book brings us a pairing you never saw coming, that of bad boy Oliver Rossi and Sofia Navarro, Cruz’s sister. Despite being on the same team, Cruz and Oliver are rivals, not only seeing each other as competition, but they barely tolerate each other’s presence. I was not a fan of Oliver’s behavior in the earlier books, and his treatment of his then girlfriend, Blair, so it was a pleasant surprise to see another side of of him and how much he has grown into his own. He redeems himself a hundredfold in this book and then some, and hearing his backstory explains a lot. I wound up rooting for him and for Sofia, not only to make it as a couple, but for both to succeed in their ventures. Sofia has lived her life in her brother’s shadow, and as a Navarro there are certain expectations of her, but she has her own plans and dreams, though she hasn’t had the courage to tell her family, afraid they would not support her on it. Then there is Oliver, and her attraction to him and him to her, and they get their chance meeting, have a steamy encounter, hoping to get each other out of their system because they know nothing could ever happen between them. The chemistry between them was explosive and there was no way one time would be enough, no matter how hard they tried. I loved this story so much and could not put it down. It is a beautifully written, swoon worthy romance that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings, too. K. Bromberg, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Stefanie Kay were exceptional at bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Hamilton absolutely nailed it as Rossi, grasping every aspect of his personality and his demeanor, from his vulnerabilities to his hot-headedness to his caring side. Kay did the same as Sofia, showcasing her personality and demeanor perfectly, including her insecurities, and in the end, her strength and determination. Both were just as amazing performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous and superbly entertaining listen.  

K. Bromberg Makes Formula 1 sexy!

Plot: 4.5/5
Spice: 3/5
Narration: 4.5/5

Per usual, K. Bromberg has found a way to make something else incredibly sexy. I now feel the need to familiarize myself with Formula 1 racing after plowing through these books.

Narration: Duel style. Teddy and Stephanie were KILLER! Teddy has always been a favorite of mine, which will liley never change. I see no wrong in anything he does. Stephanie was the perfect Sofia!

At the end of Over the Limit (book 3) you find out the next story in the line is Rossi's. I would be lying it I said I wasn't nervous, and also incredibly curious how K was going to give us a good redemption story. She freaking killed it! I found myself getting more frustrated with Sofia than I did Rossi! Who would have thought... not I!

Rossi: Sexy beast. He was filthy-mouthed in the sheets. I felt bad for Blaire because he was obviously holding back on her for 10 years. His redemption story was something I didn't even know I needed. I went in just hoping for the plot to be decent and I am happy to report that it was better than I intended.

Sofia: Due to her family dynamic, she was childish, in a way, when the book started. She wasn't really living for herself, and was constantly putting her own feelings aside. I found myself really aggravated with her because, in all fairness, Rossi hadn't been a "playboy" for that long. He got out of a serious relationship, went a little crazy, but it wasn't who he was as a person. I'm glad Sofia finally decided to see past the exterior he put up to defend himself, but I was disappointed in her ability to think for herself, and not have her brother define other people for her.

If you're looking for a sports romance that isn't hockey, football, or baseball, look no further! K. Bromberg never fails to deliver!

Another wonderful book

Rossi and Sophia are off limits for each other but that doesn't stop their attraction to each other. It has to be in secret since he's the bad boy driver on the Formula 1 team and she's the daughter of the owner and sister of the star racer. Will they be able to give each other what they need? Will they be able to ever come out together in public? I thought Teddy Hamilton and Stefanie Kay brought Rossi and Sophia to life. I really like this series.

Favorite of the series

I went into this book knowing Rossi had to redeem himself and boy did he because he had become my favorite of the series. The fire burned bright between Rossi and Sofia and I loved the way he showed endless support to her. These two brought the better out in each other and I loved seeing them find their happy ending.

Stefanie Kay and Teddy Hamilton perform this book dual narration and are a great duo to bring Sofia and Rossi to your ears. Stefanie is fairly new to me and I adored her performance for Sofia. Teddy did a great job at bringing the grumpy troubled Rossi to life. I loved both of their performances.
