Garron Park is not the most pleasant place to live. But sometimes the chips fall where they may. Tucked away in the trailer park are Xavi, Devon, Maddox and Nate. They forged their own family amongst the 4 of them and make it work. 

Devon and Maddox have hated each other since they can remember. Rivals on the race track, with girls, in life. They live to make the other one miserable. But what is that hate? They discover it may be something so much more.

I love the banter. The hard shell outside, soft shell inside parts of them are beautiful. They struggle to define what they are to one another, but does everything need a label?

This was a great, hard fought love story with super angst, meddling and caring older brothers, jerk fathers and some redemption. And it's 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
