𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 reading Rebecca's books at the end of last year, Forever Wild was the first book I read by her and I loved it so much I knew she was going to be a new favorite author for me. I was craving another romance, something good to read in between the fantasy reads and I had Burnout downloaded on my kindle and I've seen so many amazing things about it that I gave it a go. I wasn't even half way through the book and I knew it was going to be a five star favorite...it didn't disappoint.
𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 suffered a knee injury in gymnastics, which according to doctor's she should be just fine but to take it easy and keep up on her physical therapy...but Avery is someone who puts 1000% into what she's doing. She deals with the pressure from the media basically wondering "Is she going to be as good as she was before or is her career over?" "Was her going to the Olympics the peak of her career?" She doesn't like to fail, she trains pretty much every day for a few hours after classes, she keeps to herself for the most part, has a best friend named Quinn (I love their friendship). Avery's focus is getting her knee back to perfect condition so she doesn't really have time for relationships....or so she thought.
𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐱 is your tattooed bad boy. We learn that he has four brothers....Hendrix, Archer, Brogan (who's Archer's best friend and who is technically not blood related but he's been part of their family since he was a kid) and the youngest Holland brother, Flynn. They lost their mom when Knox was young and their dad has been in and out of their lives and just wasn't a great dad, so Knox stepped up and took care of everyone. He dropped out of high school and got a job to support his brothers and had to grow up way too fast. When he got older he wanted to get back into Motocross, he always loved it and he was part of a team. Things didn't end so well for him when one of his teammates made him crash and Knox got physical with him and he got cut from the team. To work on his "anger issues" he goes to his friend for help who does freestyle and his friend tells him his girlfriend's best friend helped him train to help with his stunts and that girl..... just so happens to be Avery.
𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 the banter between these two. They did not get off on a good start but then again neither one of them really knew what was going on in each other's lives so there were a lot of assumptions but once they both let down their walls a little and they became friends (who were attracted to one another) that soon led to more. The spice was (whew) so good. There may even be a scene that involves the motorcycle.....Knox knows exactly what he's doing. He loves to worship Avery. The problem is, they both swore to no relationships and just keep things casual but as hard times appear in each of their lives who do they turn to ? Each other.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 are one of my favorite families. Each brother has their own personality and we get to see quite a bit of them through out the story. The group chat between them was one of my favorite things to read. I'm excited to read the next book in this series, 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 which is Brogan's story. Brogan had me laughing in this book so I'm excited to see more of him in his book!
