Start your engines, babes  — this episode is a checkered flag fever dream. We’re diving headfirst into Throttled by Lauren Asher, where the men are emotionally unavailable, the women are giving sunshine with a cult following, and the tension is hotter than an overheated engine in Monaco.

We’re talking grumpy x sunshine perfection, F1 drama we did not sign up for (but are now fully obsessed with), and spicy scenes that had us questioning if this was a romance novel or a qualifying round for the spice Olympics. Also: who knew love could cross borders and pit lanes?From pit stops to plot twists, we’re taking you on a wild, international ride filled with spice, swoon, and maybe a few screeches.

💋 It’s giving red flag, green light, and everything in between.

So buckle up, hit play, and join us as we talk racing, romance, and why Noah is our new emotionally repressed book boyfriend of the week.
