When I found this book I wasn't sure whether to read it as it combined the sport I love with romance fiction but I thought I'd give it a go. It took me a while to get into and that is partly because Fraya North mixes real life cyclists, cycling teams and events with fictional ones so that took a little getting used to. Also the personalities of the fictional cyclists didn't fit with the personalities of the once I'd read in autobiographies. Once I'd got over that I liked it and read it as a fun chic lit novel.

The Tour de France focus in this book deserves four stars, but the inconsistent heroine and the painfully slow start had me giving it two stars until almost half-way through the book. Once the Tour starts, the riders and the author's apparent love of pro cycling steal the show.
