4 out of 5 ☆’s.

”I didn't know what to do with my hands. I wanted to pull him closer, but these fists had never been good for anything but punching him.”

This was a quick and enjoyable read! :)

I like that Maddox and Devon were actual enemies throughout the book (it’s a bookish pet peeve of mine when books are marketed as containing the “enemies to lovers” trope and don’t deliver on the “enemies” aspect of things) and I liked seeing their relationship develop as the story continued! 

I do wish that we got some more motocross scenes, though.

I hope that Nate and Xavi get a story in the future! ♡

This author did NOT disappoint! Maddox and Devon were EVERYTHING. 
The way that they kept up the banter even after they got together is the highlight of the book. They fight a lot and it can get physical majority of the time…but it’s their way of connecting and communicating. If anyone else even dared to try and fight Devon…i truly believe Maddox would be there to kill that person!
The relationship between the 4 main characters (Nate, Devon, Xavi, Maddox) was so great. I loved how close they were and how their relationships developed a bit more and fleshed out more. There was a strong sense of brotherhood/community.
