Who cried? I CRIED!! Wasn't expecting that at all, but there was a really emotional scene that got me.
This is my favourite book by this author so far, out of three I read (one on her other pen name), it features a biker found family that I can't wait to see more of in future books. In this one we follow two of them who fall for the same girl and are ready to protect her with their lives.
Sayshen has been obsessed with Bexley since high school, and that obsession never went away, only came back stronger when he ran into her years later. I loved how protective he was of her, after seeing the evidence of how Christian was treating her.
Both he and his brother Talon helped Bex leave her abusive relationship, and their friends welcomed her into their group with open arms which was so nice to see.
With that said, I do think Bex recovered from her abuse in record time. It's a shorter read so I get there's not enough room to explore everything, but she seemed almost fully recovered by the time she and Sayshen got together, which was only a few days after her rescue.
Despite that, the story was really good and suspenseful. Your fav characters probably aren't completely safe, I'M JUST SAYING! The author managed to capture the tension of racing so well, will they crash or won't they, will they make it out alive or not? You'll have to read and see.
It's a very fast paced read as well, fitting for the sport. There's enough character development to keep you wanting to read more about them, and we may have been teased about who the next book will follow in the epilogue. I was actually assuming the other female character would get her turn first, but I'm not upset at this turn of events.
The romance worked for me more with one brother than the other, just because we got to know Sayshen a lot better than we did Talon, so I was able to connect with him more, while Talon was off being a sour wolf in the background. I like him, but I wish it hadn't taken him so long to realise how he was feeling.
For all the steam fans, yes, there is a bike scene. You're welcome.
Lastly, I was hoping there'd be more Spanish in the book, since Cece's a Latina, but maybe in her own book there will be? Fingers crossed.
