Romance Movies to Stream After ‘Drive – The Pretenders’ on Prime Video

‘Drive The Pretenders’ follows a young race car mechanic who pretends to be engaged to the most scandalous racing star on the scene, officially for his reputation and secretly for her own chance behind the wheel. Lisa-Marie Koroll plays the mechanic Sarah Jenkins, while Amin Baahmed plays the racing star Dante Annunziata.

For anyone searching for movies like Amazon Prime’s ‘Drive The Pretenders’, the platform has plenty of company to offer. Amazon itself points young adult romance fans toward ‘Maxton Hall’ and the Culpables franchise, which has been watched by over 100 million viewers worldwide. The films below share its mix of rivalry, staged affection, and attraction that grows harder to hide.

Your Fault: London

This film is a sequel to the English-language ‘Culpa Mia’ adaptation and continues the secret romance between new stepsiblings Nick and Noah, played by Matthew Broome and Asha Banks. Noah begins studying at Oxford while Nick starts working for his father’s company, which opens the door to jealousy.

TV Insider credited the chemistry between the two leads for helping the film avoid a sophomore slump, even with its miscommunication and toxicity.

Red, White & Royal Blue

Based on Casey McQuiston’s best selling novel, it delivers a classic enemies to lovers story with a touch of forbidden romance. Alex, the son of the U.S. president, played by Taylor Zakhar Perez, and Prince Henry, played by Nicholas Galitzine, share a total disdain for each other.

Their feud erupts at a royal event and becomes a media circus, so they are forced to stage a truce. Over time that fake friendship turns genuine and sparks into something more.

Love Me Love Me

The film is based on a Wattpad story turned novel by Stefania S. It follows June, played by Mia Jenkins, after she moves to an Italian private school and becomes the center of a love triangle. That Wattpad origin gives it something in common with the source of the Prime Video racing romance.

TV Insider found the chemistry between June and the troubled MMA fighter palpable, though it said the plot and pacing leave quite a bit to be desired.

The Last Sunrise

Based on a book by ‘After’ author Anna Todd, the film follows Ry, played by Maia Reficco, who spends her summer in Spain. A local named Julián, played by Fernando Lindez, inspires her to live in the moment.

TV Insider said the setting and cinematography make a familiar story feel unique, even if the ending is cliché and easy to see coming.

You+Me – Against the World

Based on a French-language novel by Emma Green, it follows the privileged university freshman Alma, played by Vittoria Di Savoia, who secretly studies film. She falls for the campus bad boy Vadim, played by Lucas Barski, when they collaborate on a project.

TV Insider felt a stalker subplot and a rushed pace held the romance back, but still called it a decent enough way to spend an hour and a half.

My Worst Neighbor

This South Korean romantic comedy is adapted from the French film ‘Blind Date.’ Aspiring singer Lee Seung Jin moves into a studio apartment, unaware that his neighbor Hong Ra Ni has a reputation for driving tenants away with excessive noise.

Instead of backing down, he pushes back, and the escalating antics gradually give way to something closer as they share pieces of their lives without meeting face to face.

Relationship Goals

The romantic comedy stars Kelly Rowland and Cliff Smith as rival TV producers competing for the same job, and the two share a history that includes a past betrayal. It is a rivalry story at heart, which makes it a natural companion to a film about two people who start out on opposing sides.

TV Insider felt the shift from enemies to lovers comes across as abrupt and unearned, and that the film does little new with the formula.

No Place to Be Single

This Italian romantic comedy is based on a novel by Felicia Kingsley and is set in a small Tuscan town. Elisa, played by Matilde Gioli, works on an estate’s farm, and when the estate’s Count dies, heirs return and she has to convince them not to sell the land.

TV Insider said it handles side romances well and that the dialogue feels as natural as the acting, leaving viewers feeling good even if they are not deeply moved.

The Love Hypothesis

The film follows a fake dating to lovers arc between Stanford PhD biology student Olive, played by Lili Reinhart, and professor Adam, played by Tom Bateman. That setup is the closest parallel here to the staged engagement at the center of the racing romance.

TV Insider ranked it first among the platform’s romance films this year, praising the sharp comedic dialogue and the believable chemistry between the leads. Readers who watched Sarah and Dante stage their engagement can say in the comments whether Olive and Adam sold their own pretend relationship more convincingly.
