This was my first book by Rebecca Jenshak. I've heard a lot of good things about her work, so I was interested to see if I would like it as well. This was an enjoyable read. I read it in a day, which doesn't happen a lot with me. This was a nice start to a new series for her.

I first off love that this is a motocross romance. I don't think I've ever read one of these before, so that alone was great! Knox was just the kind of guy to fit with it too. He was definitely cocky and not always the best behaved. He did what he wanted, and even sometimes within reason. I like how he tried to get help, despite not believing it would help him. He got involved with Avery to help his riding, and the longer he spent time with her, the more twisted up in her he became. Some of the things he did with her were so sweet, and I kinda wish someone did them with me. Haha! I always enjoy me a bad boy, and Knox fit quite well.

Avery was a really nice compliment for Knox. She didn't take his crap and stood up to him. She forced him to think differently than he normally would, and made him approach some things differently. She knew what she was capable of and what she had to offer. However, she had her own things she was dealing with as well. She was able to let Knox help her, just as she was helping him. She learned some things from him, and was able to finally have the faith in herself to accomplish what she wanted. She never got to any point that she annoyed me, which was nice. I often find sometimes the FMC, in some capacity even if minor, usually get on my nerves.

Overall this was a nice start to a new series! I really enjoyed Knox and Avery's story. Although I don't fully understand how gymnastics can help motocross--maybe I'm just dumb. Regardless, I love it when characters are forced together for any reason at all. Give me force proximity everyday! I will definitely grab the next one when I can!

oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD

obviously from the moment i put in for this arc i knew it was going to be a banger, you quite literally cannot go wrong with every trope/microtrope this book has but good god THIS BOOK!!!!

knox had me from the prologue to the last page, he is quite possibly the sweetest asshole there ever was. avery was a ton of fun and i liked that she took zero shit from knox in the beginning when he was being a douche. i ate this the fuck up seriously

its so rare to see gymnastics series so that in itself made this book so unique and fun/fresh feeling, but pairing it with a sport like motocross and seeing how the two of them can actually be combined was so fucking cool to me!!

this book is very heavy on found family which i absolutely adored, i cannot wait to go back and read hen/janes book for their story and am very excited to see what the future holland brothers books will bring
