Dane a misunderstood, brooding street racer on the mend, meets the shy, traumatized Reese who’s just trying to get her degree and heal from all that she’s been through. When he’s found by her after an encounter with some rivals, they form a strange friendship that morphs into so much more.
This has easily been one of my favorite reads so far this year! The chemistry between Dane and Reese was to die for, and I will forever recommend this to anyone who loves street racing romances because this was truly one of the greatest! I cannot wait to release day when I can snag a copy to have forever on my shelves!!
I loved this book, Reese is a headstrong confident woman who is more focused on getting her degree than dating. Enters Dane, a bad boy, who while getting his degree is more bothered about fixing up cars, with a bad reputation, Dane is best avoided. Until Reese finds him beaten up and invites him back to hers to patch him up and let him recover, albeit, unaware of who he is and therefore his reputation. Their relationship begins to flourish as Dane protects and looks out for Reese more than anyone has ever done before for her. However, Reese is then told about him by her sister and warns her off. Being the feisty female lead (a must have for any good novel), Reese ignores this warning and continues to fall for Dane. I found myself drawn along with the developments of their relationship and found myself routing for them to last and be happy with one another.
I'm stunned that this is a debut novel, it didn't feel that way at all. My only critique and it is a personal one, while at the time I’m happy for the 'four years later' part, sometimes I feel that it just rushes the characters, i would much prefer that to be missed off and there to be a sequel. Again, this is massively personal to what i would prefer, but maybe that’s just because i want to read another book with Reese and Dane! I can't wait to see what Elvie does next.
This book is beautifully written. The story was cohesive and well written, the language was easy to understand and the characters were fleshed out and loveable.
This book was unputdownable and i am eternally grateful to have been given the opportunity to read this book as I believe it is a masterpiece. The reason I gave only four stars was that at times the pacing seemed very rushed (more so towards the end) but other than that this book is perfection. The chemistry is there, and all my highlights are Dane quotes.
I really, really enjoyed this book and will be recommending it highly to everyone!

I love a guy that just absolutely has this sweet spot for his girl and Dane was the definition of this!! 🫠 Reese finds her person in Dane and I loved that they work through the hardships while learning to enjoy life together!
Fun, swoony, slow burn with steam! Perfect one sitting read. 🥰
I absolutely loved this book - writing style was fantastic and the perfect amount of spice. A great, cosy easy read that I read in one sitting because I couldn't stop! The character development of Dale was great and Reese was such a cute lead.
I hope Elvie has more books coming as they will be added to my TBR stat!
