3.0

I decided to read this book after reading her novella "Periodically Yours" with a STEM FMC. That one was set in college, and it was cute. I'm a chemist, so I loved reading a chemist FMC, but the hockey MMC was not my favorite . I gave this book a shot because I also used to be a gymnast, and there aren't many gymnastics related romances. This one was also set in college times, which isn't my favorite, but the characters were a little more mature, so it worked out well. This book read similarly to Elle Kennedy's works. Ok spice, ok plot, and well written.

Amazing book!!!!

This book actually helped me get out of a reading slump. It is such a quick read, and all the characters had me hooked from the get-go. Absolutely loved the plot and the playful banter between Knox and Avery.

This was really cute. I loved the gymnast/motocross dynamic. Loved Avery’s character, I always love a determined, goal-driven FMC. Knox was a little too grumpy/mean at first, but I grew to love him by the end. I loved how much he cared for his brothers and loved watching his character development. The side characters added a fun dynamic as well. I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed, and would have appreciated more depth to Knox’s feelings. However, I had so much fun and am excited for the other books I haven’t read yet in this series.

Honestly was cringing me out with the dialogue and everyone constantly referring to girls as chicks was an ick. All the characters sounded young/immature with the terminology so it turned me off so I didn’t wanna keep reading. Also the brothers’ names were ridiculous to me. Like Brogan?!??
