Racing Hearts: A Dive into Amy James's Crash Test Release Date July 1, 2025

on

Okay, bookworms, gather 'round! I've got a sneak peek at a book that's already got me hooked: "Crash Test" by Amy James. Seriously, this one sounds right up our alley. Imagine the fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping world of Formula 1 colliding with a romance that just gets you in the feels.

I was lucky enough to snag an advance copy of "Crash Test," which is dropping on July 1, 2025, thanks to Avon Books! This beauty is 352 pages of pure emotion – trust me, I loved every single one. It's priced at $18.99 USD (or $23.99 CAD) for the paperback.

Now, I don't want to spoil the ride, so here's what the publisher has to say:

Formula 1 meets Red, White, & Royal Blue in this contemporary romance in which an F1 phenom battling for the championship is sent spinning after his secret love is involved in a massive crash.

Okay, if that doesn't pique your interest, I don't know what will! Twenty-four-year-old F1 superstar Travis Keeping is on track for a championship when his secret boyfriend, fellow driver Jacob Nichols, is in a devastating crash. Suddenly, Travis's carefully constructed world starts to crumble. He's dealing with a partner fighting for his life, a confused team wondering about his drop in performance, and Jacob's parents who basically want him gone.

You'd think things would get easier when Jacob wakes up, right? Wrong. His parents have other ideas. As the F1 season continues, Travis and Jacob find themselves continents apart, both navigating their own struggles with the help of some new friends. It sounds like a journey of self-discovery that might just bring them back together. Fingers crossed!

What I really loved is how Amy James, who lives over in eastern Canada, blended the high-stakes drama of F1 with such a tender and real love story. It feels so relevant right now, especially with the popularity of shows like "Drive to Survive" and the growing love for authentic queer stories. Plus, who can resist a good secret romance and maybe a touch of enemies-to-lovers vibes?

And it’s not just me who's excited! I’ve seen some early buzz from authors like Sarina Bowen and Emma R. Alban praising the book's romance and emotional depth. Sounds like we might need some tissues for this one!

So, if you're like me and you're a sucker for a great sports romance, a heartwarming queer love story, or just a book that grabs you and doesn't let go, mark your calendars for "Crash Test" in July 2025.

Now for the real question: Does this sound like a book you'd pick up? Seriously, let me know in the comments – I'd love to hear your thoughts! And hey, if you enjoy these chats and want to keep the bookish love flowing, any support is always appreciated. But honestly, your comments and thoughts are what make this fun!

Until our next bookish adventure, happy reading!
