Book Review: Upgraded
What to Expect:
- Ex-boyfriend's dad
- Formula 1 Racing
- Age Gap
- Close Proximity
- Forbidden Love
- Found Family
- Slow Burn
If your ex can’t get you across the finish line, his dad probably can…
I’ve always been “too much.”
Too sensitive. Too picky. Too clumsy. Too dramatic.
As a result, I’ve mastered the art of masking.
But that doesn’t stop Alaric Steele from truly seeing me when he finds me flat on my back in his driveway, mid-meltdown.
As Team Principal of Granata Racing, Alaric is control personified. He’s almost twenty years older than me and happens to be my ex-boyfriend’s dad.
Out of desperation, I accept a new job with Granata.
Which means Alaric is also my new boss.
The most surprising part of my role working in Formula 1 isn’t the intense travel schedule or the fear of seeing my ex around the paddock: it’s navigating the surprise encounters and secret rendezvous that launch Alaric and I into a high-speed forbidden romance neither one of us ever saw coming.
But with Alaric’s career on the line, and my fear of being too much growing louder by the day, is the risk of crashing and burning worth falling for my ex-boyfriend’s dad?

My Review
Ahh. I love this new series from author, Abby Millsaps. I am very looking forward to continuing this series. I watched a little bit of Formula 1 racing but not that much. I used to be more interested back in the day with NASCAR racing. Yet after reading this book, my excitement to watch racing has been piqued again.
Alaric and Evangeline first meeting is a memorable one. I laughed when Alaric laid on the ground with Evangeline. He then bared his soul that I knew he was nothing like his horrible son and a keeper. Although, he is human and not perfect but almost. He had a few hiccups.
Evangeline sure did upgrade with Alaric. He treated her very well and they share great chemistry. It was nice to see Evangeline smile and happy. This book is a winner. It scores the checked flag!
Upgraded is book one in Away We Go, a brand new series of interconnected standalone Formula 1 romances from USA Today bestselling author Abby Millsaps.
