π§π»ββοΈ ARC REVIEW π§π»ββοΈ
I waited weeks and weeks to see this book in my inbox and it did not disappoint whatsoever.
Jesus lord and all things holy. Well, this book was certainly not holy thats for sure. I genuinely don't know where to start and i'm never normally lost for words.
First point: stop reading this review, go buy it (14th June 2024). Go buy it right now then come back and read this review. You're too poor? I didn't ask, take out a mf loan. Anyway...
From the very beginning I was so incredibly invested in these characters:
Bexley = I'll admit her thought processes pissed me off sometimes, however, in respect to her my head would also be doing backflips if I was dealing with two 'idgaf' biker men, how does someone even deal with that? For the most part, she was feisty, she was strong, she was determined and she was the badass FMC that I've been needing.
Sayshen = WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE CAN I FIND YOU? ππΌThe ππΌpersonalityππΌ of ππΌthis ππΌ man ππΌ. HEAVEN SENT! I wont lie he was beginning to give golden retriever vibes and I was lowkey digging it - i'm usually all for the bad boy, asshole but nice asshole type of MMC but hell would I eat this man tf up.
TALON = IF YOU PISS ME OFF ONE MORE TIME! He was a dick to begin with but when we find out his reasoning for being a dick π§π»ββοΈ. There are so many scenes I could waffle about, sweating I tell you! Sweating!
All the characters were extremely loveable, even the side characters, I think I'm in love with like 6 people at this point.
The whole book was steemy, intense and I did read it in two sittings I was so addicted to not only the characters but also the plot. However, the male main characters in this book are bikers and without saying too much the book does highlight the realities of being a racer. I was feeling all sorts of emotions and they hit as hard as running into a brick wall, I cried, I laughed, I sweated and I definitely did some toe wiggles.
If you're a biker... let this be the book that welcomes you to booktok. And if you're from booktok, allow me to introduce you to biketok.
Bringing these two communities together in a book is actually the magic I didn't know I needed in life.
Nova, may you get everything you wish for in life, you're amazing in every way humanly possible and I can't wait to see where you take the books that follow. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your arc team for this full send, it's been wonderful.
